1 Rishi Satyakama was a Vedic sage who is said to have experienced the true and purest nature of Brahmanism.

2 At a very young age, the sage was curious about the nature of Brahman and eager to learn about the ways of Dharma and Tapasya.

3 To acquire more knowledge, Satyakama visited the sage Haridrumata Gautama, requesting for the permission to stay in his Ashrama for Brahmacharya.

4 His mother’s name was Jabala, who was a cowherder and not many people know that he used his mother’s name instead of his father’s.

5 According to Jabala Upanishad and Samaveda-Chandogyopanishad, Satyakama Jabala is identified as the Vedic Sage, who was the seeker of wisdom.

6 His stories in the ancient Hindu text explain the true form of “Maatru Devata” and every individual’s duties towards their mothers.

7 Satyakama was accepted as a Shishya (student) for his honesty, as it was the mark of a "Brahmana” the true seeker of Brahma Vidya.

8 Satyakama was given the Upadhyaya ceremony by Sage Gautama, after which he sent him to the fields to learn Brahma Vidya naturally while tending a number of cows.

9 At this time, Satyakama had a conversation with a bull, fire, swan (Hamsa) and diver bird (Madgu), who were representatives of Vayu, Agni, Aditya and Prana.
