Aditi
(Sk.). The Vedic name for the Mulaprakriti of the Vedantists; the abstract aspect of Parabrahman, though both unmanifested and unknowable. In the Vedas Aditi is the “Mother-Goddess”, her terrestrial symbol being infinite and shoreless space. (TG)
The first differentiation in the periodic manifestations of eternal Nature, sexless and infinite, is Aditi in “That”, or the potential space inside the abstract Space. In its next manifestation it appears as the divine immaculate Mother-Nature within the all-embracing absolute Infinity. Thus, Space is called “Mother” until its cosmic activity begins, and Father-Mother in its first stage of awakening. (LHR I, pp 487-488)
