RISHI DADHICHI also known as Dadhyanga or Dadhyncha which means body part taking strenght from curd.Dadhichi is revered among the sages for his selflessness.Rishi dadhichi was a ardent devotee of lord Shiva .He received a prominent mention in Hindu scripture.
Dadhichi was theson of Rishi Atharvan and his wife Chiti.Atharvan was said to be the author of AtharvaVeda.His ashrama was present at Naimisharanya.
Sabarmati Ashrama was also the ancient site of his Ashram
DADHICHI was granted 3 boom from Mahadev
He could never be killed
He will never be humiliate
His bone will become as hard as diamond.
Once Indra and devata were driven out of Swarga by a Demon named Vritrasur.Vritrasur was blessed with a boon t8 no weapon till date& weapon made of any metal or wood could kill him.Vritasur stole all the water of the world so t8 all living being will dye and no human and god
Would alive to defeat him.
Indra and devata after loosing all hope approached Bhagaban Vishnu.Vishnu revealed the secret that only weapon made from the bone of Risho Dadhichi could killed Vrita.So Indra and Devata approached Dhadhichi asked him for his aid in
defeating Vritrasur.Rishi approved the request of Devata but he wanted to go for pilgrimage to all holy rivers before gave up his life for them .Indra then brought all the water of holy river together at Naimisaranya. DADHICHI then went into a deep meditative stage and released
Life force from body.Then devata made the weapon VAJRAYUDHA from his spine.This weapon used to killed Vritrasur allowing Indra to reclaim his place and releasing the water for all living being.
Dadhichi symbolised the notion no sacrifice is too great in order to defense the defenseless from evil .This sacrifice of Rishi Dadhichi is inspired the PARAM VIR CHAKRA,India's heigest gallantry which awarded to the soldiers who show exceptional courage in battle
