Rishi
In the Vedas the term Rishi (Sanskrit: ऋषि ṛṣi) denotes an inspired poet of Vedic hymns. Post-Vedic tradition of Hinduism regards the Rishis as "seers", "sages" or saints, who after intense meditation (Tapas) realized truths and eternal knowledge, which they composed into hymns.
Etymology
According to Indian tradition, the word may be derived from two different meanings of the root 'rsh'. Sanskrit grammarians derive this word from the second meaning: "to go, to move". V. S. Apte gives this particular meaning and derivation, and Monier-Williams also gives the same, with some qualification.
Another form of this root means "to flow, to move near by flowing". (All the meanings and derivations cited above are based upon Sanskrit English Dictionary of Monier-Williams). Monier-Williams also quotes Tārānātha who compiled the great (Sanskrit-to-Sanskrit) dictionary named "ṛṣati jñānena saṃsāra-pāram" (i.e., "one who reaches beyond this mundane world by means of spiritual knowledge").
More than a century ago, Monier-Williams tentatively suggested a derivation from drś "to see". Monier-Wiliams also quotes the Hibernian (Irish) form arsan (a sage, a man old in wisdom) and arrach (old, ancient, aged) as related to rishi. Monier-Williams also conjectures that the root drish (to see) might have given rise to an obsolete root rish meaning "to see".

Darshan (band)
Darshan is an American Jewish alternative hip hop group from Brooklyn, New York. Formed in 2008 at the Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center, the group is composed primarily of rapper Eden "Eprhyme" Pearlstein and singer/songwriter Sam "Shir Yaakov" Feinstein-Feit. Their debut album, Deeper and Higher, was released in 2015.
History
The band's debut EP, Lishmah, originally released by Shemspeed Records on December 15, 2009, was re-released on January 5, 2010. The EP was produced by Shir Yaakov and engineered by Smoke M2D6 of Oldominion.
The group's first full-length album, Deeper and Higher, was released on September 29, 2015. It was produced by Jamie Saft and featured accompaniment by him, Ben Perowsky, and Basya Schechter of Pharaoh's Daughter.
Musical style
In addition to hip hop, Darshan's music also contains elements of folk rock and the minor key melodies of traditional Jewish music. Ezra Glinter of The Forward notes that "Eprhyme's hard-driving lyrics are tempered and sweetened by Shir Yaakov’s more melody-driven sensibilities."
