Sueksha Bharadvaja (Sanskrit: सुकेश भारद्वाज , Bengali : সুকেশ ভারদ্বাজ ) is a Vedic Rishi whom we encounter in Prashna Upanishad. He belonged to the Bharadvaja family of Vedic seers.
He was contemporary of the following people.
- Shaibya Satyakama (Sanskrit: शैब्य सत्यकाम , Bengali : শৈব্য সত্যকাম )
- Sauryayani Gargya (Sanskrit: सौर्यायाणि गार्ग्य , Bengali : সৌর্যায়াণি গার্গ্য )
- Kaushalya Ashvalayana (Sanskrit: कौशल्य आश्वलायन , Bengali : কৌশল্য আশ্বলায়ন )
- Bhargava Vaidharbi (Sanskrit: भार्गव वैधर्बि , Bengali : ভার্গব বৈধর্বি )
- Kabandhi Katyayana (Sanskrit: कबन्धि कात्यायन , Bengali : কবন্ধি কাত্যায়ন )
They were seekers of Brahman and together they approached Sage Pippalada (Sanskrit: पिप्पलाद, Bengali : পিপ্পলাদ ) to inquire about Brahman.
Sukesha informed Pippalada that Hiranyabha (Sanskrit: हिरण्याभ , Bengali : হিরণ্যাভ ) the Prince of Kosala had aproached him with a phiolsophical question on the person with sixteen parts and hence he came to Pippalada get it resolved.
End Note: The Prashna Upanishad is an ancient sacred Sanskrit word ascribed to Pippalada sakha of Vedic scholars. It is a part of Atharva Veda.
