INTRODUCTION :
Rishi Kraustuki was one of the ancient rishis, and he was the disciple of Markandeya. Markandeya was a great sage and he conquered the death, and remains young forever, and appears similar to Lord Balamuruga. Kraustuki was born in a pious Brahmin family in North India, and was interested in spiritual activities from his younger age itself.
He was well known for his sincere devotion to Lord Shiva, similar to his Guru Markandeya, and relieved the people from their sufferings and sorrows, and took them to the spiritual path. He was good at meditation and yoga, and was specialized in Hindu sacred texts like Puranas, Vedas and Upanishads, and was an expert in all kinds of arts.
After living in the earth for several years, at the beginning of the Kali Yuga, he went to the Rishi Mandala, and performs meditation on Lord Shiva, and attained the eternal bliss of the god.
