“These feminine Logoi are all correlations, in their noumenal aspect, of Lights, and Sound, and Ether. Aditi signifies infinity personified as a goddess prakriti, nature considered as the evolver or producer in its original condition.Īditi-Vach (Sanskrit) Aditi-Vāc The cosmic Logos considered in its feminine aspect as the veil surrounding the evolving cosmic monad. Aditattva (Sanskrit) Āditattva Original principle used in theosophical literature to denote the first or highest of seven tattvas or principles in the descending arc of nature’s structure in the numeration of the kosmic principles aditattva corresponds to the First Logos.Īditi-prakriti (Sanskrit) Aditi-prakṛti Spiritual-physical nature Father-Mother within before it appeared in space, the universal matrix of kosmos personified in the dual character of the universe or of man. Sometimes she is linked with the Greek Gaia, goddess of earth, to denote dual nature or the mother of both the spiritual and physical: Aditi, cosmic expanse or space being the mother of all things and Gaia, mother of earth and, on the larger scale, of all objective nature (cf SD 2:65, 269). In one of its most mystic aspects Aditi is divine wisdom.Īditi has correspondences in many ancient religions: the highest Sephirah in the Zohar the Gnostic Sophia-Achamoth Rhea, mother of the Greek Olympians Bythos or the great Deep Amba Surarani Chaos Waters of Space Primordial Light and the source of the Egyptian seven heavens. The line in the Rig-Veda: “Daksha sprang from Aditi and Aditi from Daksha” has reference to “the eternal cyclic re-birth of the same divine Essence” (SD 2:247n). As the womb of space, she is a feminized form of Brahma.
Aditi is identified in the Rig-Veda with Vach (mystic speech) and also with the mulaprakriti of the Vedanta.
As the celestial virgin and mother of every existing form and being, the synthesis of all things, she is highest akasa. In the Vedas, Aditi is devamatri (mother of the gods) as from and in her cosmic matrix all the heavenly bodies were born.
