During the trip of Revered Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya to the Himalayas, he got a chance to communicate with the ancient Rishis in their subtle bodies, who have been doing intense spiritual penance since thousands of years. The Rishis requested Revered Gurudev to promote and propagate their unfinished tasks. Gurudev readily accepted this as a divine directive from the Rishis and started promoting the revolutionary works of 21 Rishis after coming back to Shantikunj. The idols of seven of these Rishis have been established as temples of ancient Rishis in Shantikunj; a part of their subtle form resides in these idols and continuously provides divine spiritual energy and protection.
