ऋषि वामदेव :
एक प्रसिद्ध वैदिक सूक्त द्रष्टा हुए है। इन्हें ऋग्वेद के चौथे मण्डल का रचयिता माना जाता है। पूर्व जन्म के सम्बंध में विचार करने वालों तत्वज्ञों में वामदेव को सर्वश्रेष्ठ ऋषि माना जाता है। इनसे सम्बंधित तत्वज्ञान ‘जन्मत्रयी’ नाम से प्रसिद्ध है।
रामायण काल के प्रसिद्ध ऋषि भारद्वाज हुए हैं। इनका आश्रम प्रयाग में था। इन्होंने राम के लिए चित्रकूट में रहने की व्यवस्था की थी। राम को लौटाने के लिए भरत वन में गए तो इन्हीं (वामदेव) के पास ठहरे। वनवास से लौटते समय तथा अश्वमेघ यज्ञ के समय भी राम इनके दर्शन के लिए इनके आश्रम में गए थे। ये ऋषि वाल्मीकि के शिष्य थे। ब्रह्मपुराण के अनुसार इनकी पत्नी का नाम “पैठिनसी” था। वाल्मीकि ने सर्व प्रथम इन्हें रामायण सुनाई थी।
विनयपिटक, जैसे प्राचीन बौद्ध ग्रंथों में वामदेव सहित विभिन्न प्राचीन वैदिक ऋषियों की सूची है।
वामदेव ऋग्वेद के चतुर्थ मंडल के सूत्तद्रष्टा, गौतम ऋषि के पुत्र तथा “जन्मत्रयी” के तत्ववेत्ता हैं जिन्हें गर्भावस्था में ही अपने विगत दो जन्मों का ज्ञान हो गया था और उसी अवस्था में इंद्र के साथ तत्वज्ञान पर इसकी चर्चा हुई थी उनके पिता,  गौतम, सप्तऋषियों (सात महान संतों) में से एक थे और उनके भाई नोधास के भी ऋग्वेद में भजन हैं।
हिंदू धर्म में, वामदेव भगवान शिव का संरक्षण पहलू है, ब्रह्मांड के छह पहलुओं में से एक है। पांच मुख वाले शिवलिंगम पर, वामदेव दाहिने हाथ की ओर प्रकट होते हैं। हिंदू धर्म में, वामदेव भगवान शिव का संरक्षक पहलू है। पांच मुख वाले शिवलिंगम पर, वामदेव दाहिने हाथ की ओर प्रकट होते हैं। शिव के इस मुख/रूप को भगवान का शांत, शालीन और काव्यमय मुख माना जाता है और यह जल से जुड़ा हुआ है।
ब्रह्मा ने  वामदेव की रचना की थी, जब उन्होंने पाया कि 10 संत, जिन्हें उन्होंने पहले बनाया था, वे सृष्टि पर केंद्रित नहीं थे। इसके बजाय उन्होंने ध्यान पर ध्यान केंद्रित किया। वामदेव ने बिजली, वज्र, मेघ, इन्द्रधनुष, अनेक प्रकार की औषधियाँ बनाईं।
ग्यारह रुद्र (वामदेव) ब्रह्मा द्वारा बनाए गए थे, प्रत्येक के हाथों में त्रिशूल है। ग्यारह वामदेव (रुद्र) अजयकपाद, अहिर्बुधान्य, विरुकप्स, रैवत, हारा, बहुरूपा, त्रयंबक, सवित्र, जयंत, पिनाकी और अपराजिता हैं।
रूद्र नाम का लाक्षणिक अर्थ है अमर आमतौर पर शिव से जुड़ा हुआ है। सद्योजात के विपरीत, वामदेव को सृष्टि के तत्वों पर शक्ति का अवतार माना जाता है और जो बनाया जाता है उसका और विस्तार होता है।

English Translation

Sage Vamdev:
There has been a famous Vedic Sukta seer. He is considered the author of the fourth division of Rigveda. Vamdev is considered the best sage among philosophers who think about the past birth. The philosophy related to him is famous by the name ‘Janmatrayi’.
The famous sage of Ramayana period is Bhardwaj. His ashram was in Prayag. He had made arrangements for Ram to stay in Chitrakoot. When Bharat went to the forest to return Ram, he stayed with Vamadeva. While returning from exile and also at the time of Ashvamedha Yajna, Ram went to his ashram to see him. He was a disciple of sage Valmiki. According to Brahmapurana, his wife’s name was “Paithinasi”. Valmiki first narrated the Ramayana to him.
Ancient Buddhist texts such as the Vinayapitaka list various ancient Vedic sages, including Vamadeva.
Vamadeva is the seer of the fourth mandala of the Rigveda, the son of Gautama Rishi and philosopher of “Janmatrayi” who came to know about his past two births while still pregnant and discussed philosophy with Indra at that stage. His father, Gautama, He was one of the Saptarishis (seven great sages) and his brother Nodhas also has hymns in the Rigveda.
In Hinduism, Vamadeva is the preserving aspect of the God Shiva, one of six aspects of the universe he embodies. On a five-faced Shivalingam, Vamadeva appears on the right hand side. In Hinduism,Vamadeva is the preserving aspect of the God Shiva. On a five-faced Shivalingam, Vamadeva appears on the right hand side. This face/aspect of Siva is considered the peaceful, graceful and poetic face of the lord and is associated with water.
Brahma had  created Vamadeva, after he found, that  the 10 sages, he had earlier created, were not focused on creation. Instead they focused on meditation. Vamadeva created lightning, thunderbolt, clouds, rainbows, varieties of medicines.
Eleven Rudras (Vamadeva) were created by Brahma, each carry trishul, in their hands. The eleven Vamadeva(Rudras) are Ajaykapada, Ahirbudhanya, Virukapsa, Raivata, Hara, Bahurupa, Triambaka, Savitra, Jayanta, Pinaki and Aparajita.
The name Rudra figuratively means immortal is generally associated with Shiva. Unlike Sadyojata, Vamadeva is considered as the embodiment of power over elements of creation and further expansion of that which is created.
