Sati Anasuya wife of Brahmarshi Atri Muni
Brahmarshi Atri Muni is a scholar and was one of nine Prajapatis, and a son of Lord Brahma. He is the original teacher of Ayurveda, Jyothisha, Astronomy, Ganita, Vimana Shastra, Poetry, and Prose etc.

Lord Brahma instructed Brahmarshi Atri Muni to create generations after marrying Anasuya. Brahmarshi Atri Muni and Anasuya were childless. Brahmarshi Atri Muni and his wife went to perform severe austerities in the valley of the mountain known as Rksa. In that mountain valley flows a river named Nirvindhya. On the bank of the river are many Asoka trees and other plants full of palaSa flowers, and there is always the sweet sound of water flowing from a waterfall. There the Brahmarshi Atri Muni concentrated his mind by the Yogic breathing exercises, and thereby controlling all attachment, he remained standing on one leg only, eating nothing but Vayu, and stood there on one leg for one hundred years. He had desired the Supreme Personality of Godhead as his child, he would have been completely free of material desires because he would have wanted the Supreme Absolute Truth, but because he wanted a similar child, his desire was material. While great Sage was engaged in these severe austerities, Anasuya was engaged in serving her husband with heart, mind, and soul. She also in Mano-Tapasya and that Tapo Shakti became so powerful with the blazing Agni that joined Vayu and encircled Swarga Loka... Sivkishen Ji, Author
