They live in the first plane of the Material Cosmos (Satya Loka) which is fully Astral. They are Light Beings with the highest Awareness who can receive and radiate Knowledge and Energies as Light.
They Meditate experiencing the highest state of Samadhi and gather Knowledge and Energies from the Source (God) and pass them on to the people and nature in the planes as and when they are required.
They work under the Sapta Rishis and carry on works relating to the welfare and administration of Life in the other planes.
Sometimes, they take human birth and live amongst us to guide our Spiritual life. They also work as leading scientists, doctors, philosophers, artists, musicians and others to provide new benefits, relief and new experiences to the mankind.
A batch of 1,44,000 Rishi workers, chosen by the Sapta Rishis, who under a chosen leader Rishi in Himalayas, meet him astrally every night to get guidance in their work.
Every cycle of 60 years has a new leader Rishi and a new batch of Rishi workers. The present batch began its work from 1987.
Whenever Spiritual guidance and help are required by individuals, the Rishi workers provide them from the Astral level. Sometimes, they also contact the individuals at the physical level. That is how we meet our genuine gurus not knowing that they are actually the Rishi workers.
