Goddess of the Week : Usha Devi

[Guest guest]

.... when the senses are controlled, the mind is stabilized, and the

dark powers slayed, comes the Awakening, Usha Devi who brings along

with her Ashwins into the world of inner consciousness. These Ashwins

are the horses, the spiritual energies that enables the individual to

make a swift progress towards enlightment .....

Ushas

Ushas is the Goddess of Wisdom. The name ushas is derived from a root

us, to burn. She is also the same as the Sanscrit Ahoma. The language

in which the physical ushas was spoken of was expecially capable or

easy transformation into a purely spiritual meaning.

HYMN TO USHA, GODDESS OF DAWN

 

This hymn is from the Rig-Veda, an ancient

Hindu text that dates back to c. 1500-1000 B.C.

and consists of 1,028 hymns addressed to various deities.

 

Blessed, bearing the sun, the eye of the Gods,

Leading her white horse, magnificent to see,

Dawn reveals herself, arrayed in beams of light,

And with boundless glory she transforms the world.

O fair one, banish the enemy with light!

And prepare for us broad pastures free from fear!

Ward off hatred, bring us your priceless treasure!

O bountiful, shower blessings on the singer!

Illumine us with your glorious splendor,

O divine Dawn! Enrich and lengthen our lives,

O Goddess full of grace! Grant us fulfillment

And cows, horses, and chariots in abundance!

O Daughter of Heaven, Dawn of noble birth,

Whom the men of glory celebrate in hymns,

Establish in us wealth sublime and mighty!

O Gods, protect us always with your blessings!
