Ah-hi is, according to H. P. Blavatsky, a Senzar word related to the Sanskrit ahī (devanāgarī:अही) "snake", symbolizing “Wise Serpents” or Dragons of Wisdom. [1] They are very high celestial beings which become the vehicles of the universal mind:
The AH-HI (Dhyan-Chohans) are the collective hosts of spiritual beings . . . who are the vehicles for the manifestation of the divine or universal thought and will. They are the Intelligent Forces that give to and enact in Nature her “laws,” while themselves acting according to laws imposed upon them in a similar manner by still higher Powers. . . . This hierarchy of spiritual Beings, through which the Universal Mind comes into action, is like an army—a “Host,” truly. . .[2]
A distinction had to be made between the Absolute Mind, which is ever present, and its reflection and manifestation in the Ah-hi, who, being on the highest plane, reflect the universal mind collectively at the first flutter of Manvantara. After which they begin the work of evolution of all the lower forces throughout the seven planes, down to the lowest—our own. The Ah-hi are the primordial seven rays, or Logoi, emanated from the first Logos, triple, yet one in its essence. . . The Ah-hi are the highest Dhyanis, the Logoi as just said, those who begin the downward evolution, or emanation. During Pralaya there are no Ah-hi. . .[3]
