Sapta Rishi Bhajan Sthala

Coming to Madhyadvipa, Nityananda smiled and said, “This is Mājidā-grāma. The seven rşis (In the current Manu’s reign, the seven sages are: Kasyapa, Atri, Vasistha, Visvamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni, and Bharadvaja) stayed here a long time and engaged in worshiping Gauranga.
“In Satya-yuga, the rsis began singing the glories of Gaura in their father’s presence. Completely absorbed, they begged for the eternal treasure of gaura-prema. Lord Brahma was pleased with his seven sons and told them, ‘Go to Navadvipa and sing the glories of Gaura, then you will easily attain prema. Whoever gets the mercy of the dhama, gets the association of devotees. Then, by worshiping in the association of devotees, you will become absorbed in kṛṣṇa-prema. That is the supreme activity. Whoever gets attraction for Navadvipa will receive the benediction of living in Vraja. To live in the spiritual dhama and recite the name of Gaura is the only aspiration of the devotees.‘
“The seven rsis took their father’s instructions to heart and came to this place. When they arrived, they engaged in dancing and chanting the name of Hari. They begged for gaura-prema while singing the Lord’s glories in a loud voice, ‘O Gaurahari, be merciful and reveal Yourself to us just once! Being offenders, we have followed many paths, but now we are taking to the path of devotional service.’
“The rṣis underwent austerities and became firmly situated in devotional service by worshiping Gauranga. They completely gave up eating and sleeping and simply recited the name of Gaura. Around noon (madhyahna), the all-merciful Lord Gauranga appeared before the rṣis.
“The Lord was as brilliant as a hundred suns, and He attracted the minds of the yogis. He appeared with the Pañca-tattva. How extraordinary was that form! His form had a beautiful golden hue. Around His neck was a garland of flowers, and His glittering ornaments illuminated all directions. His glance was beautiful, His hair was long and curled, and a dot of sandalwood decorated His forehead. He wore three folded cloth, a shining thread, and His neck was decorated with a beautiful jasmine garland. Seeing this form, the rsis were enchanted and they humbly petitioned, ‘We surrender to Your lotus feet. Please give us devotion.’
“Hearing the rsis’ prayer, Gaurahari replied, Listen rsis. Give up all desires, the chains of jñāna and karma, and just discuss topics of Krsna. Within a short time I will unfold My lila in Navadvīpa. Then you will see My pastimes of nama-sankirtana. But now, keep this subject a secret. Worship Krsna at Kumārahaṭṭa at the ghāṭa made by you.’
When Lord Gauranga disappeared, the seven rṣis went to Kumārahaṭṭa. At this place now you see seven filās, or hillocks. These seven hills are arranged in the same pattern as the seven rsis in the sky (the constellation). By living here one will receive Gaurahari without having to undergo a strict process of rules and regulations.
(Sri Navadvipa-Dhama-Mahatmya, Chapter 9)

When will the audience of Saunaka and the rşis give me mercy and put the dust of their feet on my head? I will raise my two hands and say, “O residents of Navadvipa, attentively drink the nectar of gauranga-lila in this forest!”
(Sri Navadvipa Bhava-taranga)

The seven great sages and before them the four other great sages and the Manus [progenitors of mankind] are born out of My mind, and all creatures in these planets descend from them. (sapta—seven)
