Maharishi

Maharishi is an anglicized spelling of the Sanskrit word ''Maharṣi'' महर्षि (formed from the prefix mahā- meaning "great" and r̥ṣi meaning "seer"). Maharishi is often used as an addition to a person's name as an honorary title. The term was first seen in modern English literature in the 18th century.〔(Websters Online Dictionary with Multilingual Thesaurus Translation ) Retrieved November 2011〕
==Description and usage==
''Maharishi'' may refer to a Hindu, or Vedic, guru or "spiritual teacher" of "mystical knowledge". Additional meanings cited by dictionaries include: sage, poet, spiritual leader, wise man and holy man.〔Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable (2009) Retrieved November 9, 2011〕〔In Merriam-Webster's Collegiate(R) Dictionary (2004) Retrieved November 2011〕〔Collins German Dictionary (2007) Retrieved November 2011〕〔Drury, Nevill (2002) Watkins Publishing, ''The dictionary of the esoteric: 3000 entries on the mystical and occult'', page 200〕〔Luck, Steve (1998) publisher: George Philip Ltd, ''The American desk encyclopedia'', page 499〕〔(Online Etymological Dictonary ) Retrieved Nov 2011〕〔(Oxford Dictionary ) Retrieved Nov 2011〕 The term became popular in English literature "sometime before 1890" and was first used in 1758.〔〔(Merriam Webster M-W.com ) Retrieved November 2011〕
Alternate meanings describe ''Maharishi'' as a collective name that refers to the seven rishis or saptarishis (including Maharishi Bhrigu) cited in the scriptures of Rig Veda and the Puranas, or any of the several mythological seers that are referenced in Vedic writings and associated with the seven stars of the constellation Ursa Major.〔(Dictionary.com ) Retrieved Nov 2011〕〔Dictionary of Hindu Lore and Legend (2002) Thames & Hudson, Retrieved November 2011〕
Anyone can adopt the title.〔 According to Brewers Dictionary, outside of India, the most well known Maharishi is Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who founded Transcendental Meditation and made it available to the West.〔
Ramana Maharshi (1879-1950) was an "Indian sage" with a philosophy about the path to self-knowledge and the integration of personality espoused in books by author Paul Brunton and Ramana's own writings such as the ''Collected Works'' (1969) and ''Forty Verses on Reality'' (1978).〔In Chambers Biographical Dictionary (2007) Retrieved November 2011〕
The title was also used by Valmiki, Patanjali and Dayananda Sarasvati.
