Abhaya Mudra

Celestial Maiden

Deva Kanya - A celestial maiden descending upon the earth for a vacation. Our puranas and itihasas mention that though swargalokam (the heavens) contain everything a man could ever wish for, the celestial beings often come to earth to enjoy the beauties of nature. They like to visit the beautiful waterfalls, they come to offer their obeisance to the Gods in the temples on earth, they come to look at the kings and princes who are famed to be good and courageous and favour them with their love. But they are also very temperamental, they are as notorious for their beauty as they are to curse those who offend them.

We as Indians are looking forward for a bright and shining India.

Usha

This goddess, representative of the Dawn, is a favourite object of celebration with the Vedic poets, and "the hymns addressed to her are among the most beautiful—if not the most beautiful—in the entire collection." * She is described as the daughter of the Sky, has Night for her sister.

Ushas is said † to travel in a shining chariot drawn by ruddy horses or cows. Like a beautiful maiden dressed by her mother, a dancing girl covered with jewels, a gaily-attired wife appearing before her husband, or a beautiful girl corning from her bath, she, smiling and confiding in the irresistible power of her attractions, unfolds her bosom to the gaze of the beholders. She dispels the darkness, disclosing the treasures it concealed. She illuminates the world, revealing its most distant extremities. She is the life and health of all things, causing the birds to fly from their nests, and, like a young housewife, awaking all her creatures, sends them forth to the pursuit of their varied occupations. She does good service to the gods, by causing the worshippers to awake, and the sacrificial fires to be lighted. She is asked to arouse only the devout and liberal, while she allows the niggardly to sleep on. She is young, being born every day; and yet she is old, being immortal.The people lost much of their poetic fire; hence the more human and practical deities caused the more poetical ones to pass into oblivion. The changing colours of the dawn are compared to the many-coloured robes of the dancing girl; the golden tipped clouds that appear ere the sun shines in his strength, are like the jewels of a bride decked for her husband; whilst the quiet modesty of the dawn herself is like a shy maiden, conscious indeed of her beauty, entering society under the protection of her mother.
