Bharadwaaj

Rishi Bharadwaaj was the son of Brihaspati. A strange story is told about his birth. His mother, the wife of Utathya, was pregnant by her husband and and then by Brihaspati. Then the former child kicked the latter one out of the womb. Then Brihaspati said - "Cherish this son a "Bhardwaaj". Tattirya Upanishad says that he lived through three Yug, and he became immortal like Soorya Dev. In Raam's times, Tretaa Yug, he was living in Alaahaabaad or Prayaag (Sangam), and in Mahaabhaarat times, Dwaapar Yug, he was living in Haridwaar. He had a son named Drone. This Drone was the same who was the teacher of Paandav and Kaurav.
