Guest guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Aditi is the sky Aditi is the air Aditi is all gods ... Aditi is the Mother, the Father, and Child Aditi is whatever shall be born. Rig Veda, I.89.10 In the first age of the gods, existence was born from non-existence. The quarters of the sky were born from Her who crouched with legs spread. The earth was born from Her who crouched with legs spread, And from the earth the quarters of the sky were born. Rig Veda, 10.72.3-4 Namaste, When I do my morning devotions/meditation, I first light my “Aditi” candle. The black candle symbolizes the absolute, infinite, formless Deity. From the top of my 3” Aditi candle sets a smaller white votive candle. It represents the “manifest” universe, that which is created, the progeny of Aditi. US!!! And all around us. From Her all else is born. “She” is the ALL. From the moment I first “found” Her, (about 9 years ago) my path was lit before me. As I am not Hindu, it may seem strange to some that I have such a Hindu pantheon. But I am a Bhakti Pagan and proud member of my family, Yarrow Coven.

Walk in supreme peace…”~S~ Bhakti-Paganism Mail - More reliable, more storage, less spam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
