Motherhood is the essential trait of divinity. अदिति is the eternal archetype of motherhood. She is ideal mother. She is the mother of मित्र,वरुण,आर्यमान,रूद्र(s),आदित्य(s),इंद्र, Kings (Those with capacity to lead the society). She is great mother of devout, mighty and powerful, unaging, spacious, protecting and cleverly guiding. In Vedas, wherever Aditi is mentioned, her function has been to tenderly look after the living beings. She is the mother that child look ups up for allaying its fear. She is the mother to whom Aryan takes refuge for protection. Her motherhood gives her a natural sway over her children. Rishis depicts Aditi to bestow on men and Deva(s) all the tender care and protection which they(Rishi(s)) themselves received from her. She is the one who release men from guilt of sin and this is very much her nature as her name suggests. अदिति – अ-दिति unbinding, freedom, boundlessness.
May she bestow us her radiant energy. For all females with likelihood of becoming mother in near future, or are already mothers, she is the Idol to follow. She is epitome of motherhood, might, creativity and freedom.
Research, contemplate, Devote, be.
=============
Aditi guard our herd by day, Aditi, free from guile, by night,
Aditi, ever strengthening, save us from grief!
And in the day our hymn is this: May Aditi come nigh to help,
With loving-kindness bring us weal and chase our foes.
– Aurobindo
