With God's Grace and with all your High Thoughts - Global Needs Academy (GNA) have empowered the view of Vasishta River with access Rain Water and Sanitation. GNA has a Master Plan - "To Save Rain-Water so as to Construct Check Dams" across the Vasishta River valley regions. Vasishta River originates from Puzhudhikuttai (Eastern Part of Aranuthumalai, Kalrayan Hills of Shervarayon Mountain Range) and ending with Bay of Bengal at the point Parangipettai.
We propose (Construct Check Dams & Extend the Level of the Height - Existing Dams) surface Water Quality during the Rainy Seasons of our Vasishta River, Estuaries and Lakes throughout the course of the River. Let's work together to make the power of water available to Agricultural Sectors and all kinds of cultivations throughout the year.
The above said proposal and concept is an example or model. But at the same time this concept of this project applicable to all DRY RIVERS exisiting in INDIA.

Tales featuring Vasishta
Numerous folklores and tales feature Vasishta. Some of them are as follows: The tale of Vasishta-King Vishwamitra (Kaushika), after becoming impressed with Vashisht’s cows, Kaamadhenu and Nandhini, tried to acquire them by force. But, even after repeated attempts was unable to do so. Thereafter, he penance in front of Lord Shiva and acquired divine powers in exchange. But, even with the required power he was unable to get hold of Kaamadhenu and Nandhini. He then decided to be a Brahmarishi, thereby shunning family and social luxury.
The tale of king Dhileepa - King Dhileepa of the Raghuvamsa Dynasty and his wife Sudhakshina, had no children. They visited Vasishta for this reason and sought his help. Vasishta advised Dhileepa to serve Nandhini (Nandhini is a cow which he longs to Vasishta) and if she was satisfied with his service, his wish would be granted. Thus, Dhileepa tirelessly served Nandhini for twenty days and on the twenty-first day a lion suddenly attacked Nandhini. Dhileepa immediately offered himself to the Loin and requested Nandhini to be spared. After that he realized that the Lion was just an illusion to test his devotion and Nandhini granted him his wish.
The Significance of the Arundhati Star
Great Bear (Ursa Major)-known to us as Saptarishi Mandala, the seven easily visible stars maned after Seven Sages-Kratu (Dubhe), Pulaha (Merak), Pulastya (Phad) and Arti (Megrez) making up the "square" and Angiras, (Alioth) Vasishta (Mizar) and Marichi (Benetnasch).
Nearly half of the starts in the sky are double or multiple. If you look closely at Mizar, the star in the middle of the Great Bear's tail, you many detect it has a tiny companion. This star, Alcor, was known to the ancients all over the world, and was sometimes used as a test for good vision. In any binoculars, Alcor can be plainly seen as separate star.
Mizar- the middle star in the tail has a visual companion Alcor.
Mizar is known to us as Vasishta the great ascetic, and alcor as Arundhati. In vedic literature, she is regarded as the epitome of chastity, conjugal bliss and wifely devotion and a character that is unblemished, inspiring and worthy of imitation. During a Hindu wedding, after the Saptapathi ritual, the groom shows the bride the Vasishta and Arundhati double stars as an example of the ideal couple symbolizing marital happiness and devotion. It is only symbolic.
Arundhati is the wife of Sage Vasishta, the first teacher of Lord Rama and as the couple is asked to see the stars as a mark of wedding togetherness, the couple is asked to live life with full understanding like these.
Force people - there are many stories associated with Arundhati.
Many of the poojaris, marriage prestart/devotees of Shiva-Brahmins who conduct the marriage knows to show the stars and it is definitely not possible to show them in daylight – so ironically a marriage starts with a lie of showing the star-probably it would have been apt when it was started for night marriages and particular seasons when the twin stars can be seen.
Vasishta Head
A copper representing a human head style in the manner described for the Rig Vedic Vasishta has been dated to around 3,700 B.C in three western universities using among tests carbon 14 tests, spectrographic analysis, X-ray dispersal analysis and metallography (Hicks and Anderson. Analysis of an Indo-European Vedic Aryan Head-4500-2500 B.C., in Journal of IE studies 18:425-446. Fall 1990). This indicates that some Rig Vedic customers were already known at a very early time. The head was not found in an archaeological context, as it was rescued from being melted down in Delhi.
History
Vyasa along with Pandavas, the five brothers of Mahabharata. He is typically described in ancient and medieval Hindu texts as a sage with long flowing hairs that are neatly tied into a bun that s coiled with a tuft to the right, a beard, a handlebar moustache and a tilak on his forehead.
In Buddhist Pali canonical texts such as Digha Nikaya, Tevijja Sutta describes a discussion between the Bbuddha and Vedic scholars of his time. The Buddha names ten rishis, calls them "early sages" and makers of ancient verses that been collected and chanted in his era, and among those ten rishi is Vasishta (the Pali spelling of Vasishta in Sanskrit).
Vasishta in Buddhism
In the Buddhist literature of Vinayapitaka, Lord Buddha Declares that only a few Vedhic Rishic had true knowledge of the Vedas and Vashistha was one of them.
Ideas
Vasishta is the author of Mandala 7 of Rig - Veda (or) the seventh book of the Rig-Veda, one of its "family books" and among the oldest of Mandela of Rig-Veda layer of hymns in the Vedic scriptures of Hinduism. The hymns composed by Vasishta are dedicated to Agni, Indra and other gods.
These hymns are particularly significant for four Indravarunau hymns. These have an embedded message of transcending "all thoughts of bigotry", suggesting a realistic approach of mutual "coordination and harmony" between two rival religious ideas by abandoning disputed ideas from each and finding the complementary spiritual core in both. These hymns declare two gods, Indra and Varuna, as equally great. In another hymn, particularly the Rig Vedic verse 8.83.9, Vasishta teaches that the Vedic gods Indra and Veruna are complementary and equally important because one vanquishes the evil by the defeat of enemies in battles, while other sustains the good during peace through social-ethical laws. The seventh mandala of the Rigveda by Vasishta is a metaphorical treatise. Vasishta reappears as a character in Hindu texts, through its history, that explore conciliation between conflicting or opposing ideologies.
Vasishta hymns in the Rig - Veda are among the most intriguing in many ways and influential. Vasishta emphasizes means to be as important as end during one's life, encouraging truthfulness, devotion, optimism, family life, sharing one's prosperity with other members of society, among other cultural values.

Vashistha is one of the oldest and most revered Vedic rishis. He is one of the Saptarishis (seven great Rishis) of India. Vashistha is credited as the chief author of Mandala 7 of Rigveda. Vashishtha and his family are mentioned in Rigvedic verse 10.167.4, other Rigvedic mandalas and in many Vedic texts. His ideas have been influential and he was called as the first sage of the Vedanta school of Hindu philosophy by Adi Shankara.
Yoga Vashishtha, Vashishtha Samhita, as well as some versions of the Agni Purana and Vishnu Purana are attributed to him. He is the subject of many mythologies, such as him being in possession of the divine cow Kamadhenu and Nandini her child, who could grant anything to their owners. He is famous in Hindu mythologies for his legendary conflicts with sage Vishvamitra. In Ramayana, he was the family priest of Raghu dynasty and teacher of Lord Rama and his brothers.
Why Vasishta Not Found In South, Shiva Left Dravida?
Sage Vasishta.
One may also notice that Vasishta comes into prominence only after Ramayana despite the fact that Vasishta is one of the Saptha Rishis, who are eternal and he was the Sage who is also one of the Nava Prajapathis, Nine Prajapathis amomg Daksha, whose Yaaga was destroyed by Veerabhadra on the orders of Lord Shiva. Vasishta composed (rather grasped and expressed will be the correct term) Mandala 7 of the Rigveda. as the Chief. The Sag Viswamitra yearned for The Title of Brahma Rishi from Vasishta even though he was called such by even Brahma.
Why is it that such a great personality does not find a prominent place before Ramayana?
The Bhagavatha Purana states that the ancestor of Lord Rama Satyavrata Manu left Dravida(South) for Ayodhya and his son Ikshvaku founded the Ikshvaku Dynasty. This was necessitated by the great Tsunami in the south as recorded in Tamil classical literature. Lord Shiva left, at the same time, along with his son Ganesha moved out through the western coast of Bharatavarsha, traveled through the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Americas, and finally reached Arctic.
And it was in the Arctic the Rig veda was compiled.
I have detailed post on this, as for all the observations I have made here and exhaustive research was done by Bal Gangadhar Tilak in his Book Arctic Home of the Vedas.
After the rig Veda was composed Shiva and Ganesha set out for India through Russia and Khyber Pass .
This has been misinterpreted as Aryan Invasion.
The archeological evidence linking Ganesha and Shiva throughout the world would strengthen this point.
Now Vasishta, being a Manu and a Parajapati obviously left along with Shiva and while Maheswara sukthas are by Shiva, Rig veda important portions were done by vasishta and others.
It may be of interest to note that there is a Temple For Daksha in Kerala( I have a Post on this)
Thus, as Vasishta left along with Shiva at the time of Tsunami there are minimal references to Vasishta in the South.
By the time they returned to india, and Vasishta had become the Kula Guru of Ikshvaku Dynasty, years had gone by.
In the south the other progeny of Shiva, Subrahmanya, called as Murugan in Tamil spread Santana Dharma in South East Asia and developed the Santana dharma further in the south.
That is the reason one finds the Murugan is identified with Tamil and Shiva being treated as the Adhi Siddha and as ‘Ancient of the Ancients’
Munnaip Pazhamporutku Munnaip ParamPorule – Tamil.
Hence Vasishta lineage was limited in the south and as he became the Kula Guru after settling down in the North his clan expanded there.
Hence there are less Vasishta Gotra in South.
Vashishtha is one of the Saptarishis (seven great Rishis) in the seventh, i.e. the present Manvantara, or age of Manu. Vashista is a manasputra of God Brahma. He had in his possession the divine cow Kamadhenu, and Nandini her child, who could grant anything to their owners. Arundhati is the name of the wife of Vashista. RigVeda 7:33 mentions Vashishtha rishi as son of MitraVaruṇa and Urvasi.
Vashistha, as one of 9 Prajapatis, is credited as the chief author of Mandala 7 of the Rigveda. Vashistha and his family are glorified in RV 7.33, extolling their role in the Battle of the Ten Kings, making him the only mortal besides Bhava to have a Rigvedic hymn dedicated to him. Another treatise attributed to him is “Vashistha Samhita” – a book on the Vedic system of electional astrology
