Deva

[Guest guest]

Yogi Bhajan (before he passed away) told me that " Dev " was the Embodiment of

" Devi-a " ..

Deva

 

 

" Deva " comes from the sanskrit root " div " meaning " to shine " . Deva

is masculine, Devi is feminine. The literal meaning for Deva/Devi

could be " He/She who emanates light " . They are sanskrit words

for " deity, god, demi-god, celestial being, spirit " and had an

influence on the latin words Deus, Divus, the english Divine, Deity,

the french Dieu, the italian Dio, and so on. The form " Dev " has the

same meaning, with the elision of the last vowel. I suppose it could

be from Gurmukhi or some dialectal form, but I am not sure; for

instance in Hindi sometime they don't pronounce also the last vowel

of the words.
