Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Dear Diva, Namaste!!! HUUUUMMMM!!! I just checked the Sanskrit-Eng dictionary and the word "Diva" has many meanings, such as To shine, to cast, to sport, to play dice, joke, to bet, to be mad or drunk, to wish for, to lament, to moan, vex, to be sleepy Diva also means heaven, a day, light. Divam means heaven, brilliance Div is also a name of God Indra, it is also a name of India So Diva Devi Dasi means Maid Servant of Indra, King of the Gods (among other things), as also Shining Maid Servant Goddess, as also Maid Servant of Mother India.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Dear Diva, R U female? (as I assume). It's necessary for casting your horoscope. Indra is in fact the leader of the Demigods who are all devotees of Lord Vishnu. The only case where Indra would fight Vishnu is in case that "lila" was the pleasure of Lord Vishnu. Indra NEVER has anything but respect for Lord Vishnu, because it was from Vishnu (God) that Brahma was born, and Brahma is the ultimate leader of the Devas & Devis in svarga. In fact the deffinition of a Deva is a devotee of Lord Narayana, and an asura is a non-devotee. Lord Shiva Himself stated that without devotion to Vishnu He never accepts worship even with millions of Bael leaves. And that doesn't make Vishnu better than lord Shiva, because they are like MILK & YOGURT respectively. One and the same truth!!! You have a VERY C-O-O-L name, Diva...!!! My 9 years old half-Thai son is named "Jiva" (life). Tomorrow is Thai King Rama IX's 78 Birthday reaching 60 years on the Throne. He's the Greatest King on Earth...and the King's birthday is also Thai "Father's Day" so tomorrow I take my son to a movie. He's a BORN vegetarian and a Royal student in the Palace. That last para was for entertainment value... Warm rgds, Richard dear richard: thank you for such elucidation! saraswati is in residence here, no question. maid servant of indra sounds very blessed, but wasn't indra defeated by vishnu? om namah shivaya! diva devi sacred-objects, "Richard Shaw-Brown II" <rsbj66> wrote: > > Dear Diva, > > Namaste!!! > > HUUUUMMMM!!!
