Aditi

अदिति is a Sanskrit word which means, “The Divine Consciousness, pure, immaculate, gloriously powerful and limitless."

In the Vedas, Aditi is mother of the Gods from whose cosmic matrix the heavenly bodies were born. As the synthesis of all things, she is associated with space (akasa) and with mystic speech (Vāc). She may be seen as a feminized form of Brahma and associated with the primal substance (mulaprakriti) in Vedanta. The first mention of Goddess Aditi is found in Rigveda, which is estimated to have been composed roughly during 1700-1100 BC. Aditi can be defined as the cosmic creatrix, the creativity of the all-creating. As Aditi, she is unbound-the free one. She is called the supporter of creatures.  Aditi was regarded as both the Sky Goddess, and Earth Goddess, which is very rare for a prehistoric civilization. Aditi was attributed the status of first deity by the Vedic culture.She is addressed, in the Rigveda as "Mighty”.


People with this name tend to be very spiritually involved. They are often found lost in thought, philosophizing and can be quite eccentric. They have a few good friends who enjoy similar activities. Living much within their own thoughts and finding it challenging to communicate easily with others, they are, at times, too candid and honest in your assessment of situations. They feel this separation from others and would give anything to be always light hearted and friendly instead of serious and shy. A beautiful Goddess; Queen of the Universe, especially the queen of love who has to beat off lovers with a stick, Aditi is a graceful and elegant woman known as the Mother of Gods in Hindu Mythology.
