🌻 Diti and Aditi 🌻

The Vedic wisdom illustrates cosmic principles in the form of narratives full of symbolic content. 

To those who know the essence the names and stories are revealed. But those who only know the names get confused.

The Sun of our system is described as an all-seeing eye, and there is also an all-seeing eye for the universe called the great seer Kashyapa. 

Kashyapa embodies the vault, the space in its potential form. In freemasonry, he is also known as the Great Architect of the universe. 

Kashyapa is the One who overviews the worlds; he remains an observer without interfering with the work of creation.

Kashyapa is said to have two wives, Diti and Aditi. 

Diti means the Mother of Darkness, Aditi non-darkness or the Mother of Light. 

Diti is the Queen of Night and of the west, Aditi the Queen of Day and of the east. In the wheel of the year, the two women are symbolically described as Cancer and Capricorn and Kashyapa as the arc between the two signs. 

Kashyapa gives his energy to the two women so that they can work in creation; he favours none. The whole creation is a fabric of the activity of these two mothers.

With Kashyapa, Aditi gave birth to 12 sons, the 12 Adityas. They were very powerful and radiant beings. Diti became jealous and also wanted children from Kashyapa. 

She approached him with this desire. He told her that it was just the twilight hour of the evening and not a good moment but she insisted: “I want more powerful children and greater in number than those of Aditi.” Kashyapa replied, “Let it be so.”

Diti gave birth to thousands of dark beings because they were born out of darkness. 

The children of Diti are called Sarpas, the crawling serpents. 

They move horizontally; they are the serpents of time and can bind the beings to matter for innumerable cycles of time. 

Immediately after their birth they dug holes into the ether and disappeared into the nether worlds.
