Spiritualism

Lord Siva’s 7 top disciples are called:

Gautam

Vishwamitra

Kashyap

Jamadagni

Bhardwaja

Atri &

Vashisht

These are called Saptarishis that is seven sages who were not necessarily born out of a Brahmin(of goodness mode) womb. They could have been born in any material caste.

However those from the Brahmin (of goodness mode) caste consider it a matter of pride to be associated with anyone of these sages.
