About Maharishi CHYAVANA Bhrigu

Chyavana (Sanskrit: च्यवन, Cyavana) was a great sage in Hindu mythology. He was son of sage Bhrigu and known for his rejuvenation after penances for several years. He was powerful enough to oppose the Vajra of Indra and was responsible for the Ashvins getting their share of the sacrificial offerings. According to the Puranas, he created a demon, Mada to achieve it.[1]

Chyavanprash was invented by him and is named after him. His Ashram was near Binsar in Garhwal area of Uttaranchal
