Personal Guidance
The Ādityas, Vasus, Rudras, Viśvedevas, Maruts, Aśvinīs, and Ṛbhus are the demigods; Purandara is Indra. Each age has its specific cast of cosmic functionaries. Spiritual administration is not generic — it is named, dated, particular.
Reflection Questions
- Do I treat 'the demigods' as a vague category, or do I know the names?
- What in my life is administered by specific divine persons I have not thanked?
