Deva - From supernatural deity to a town name in Romania

Reading through the Vedic literature i've discovered so many interesting things.

In the earliest Vedic writings, we can find that all supernatural beings were called Devas and Asuras.

For me was so funny to find out the real meaning of this word, Deva, when i was in Los Angeles and one of the musicians from CalState Univeristy was originary from India and when he heard that we have this name for a city in our country he was surprised and he explained me the whole myth behind the word Deva.

What is the most interesting is that the city of Deva is placed in a very important historical region where once were the so called thracians and dacians people ...

Once i've played at a very cool music festival in Deva.

When you think that this city was once an important center for the dacians and even today you can see the fortress very well preserved. I've took a photo of this awesome fortress.

Enjoy my photo:

As you can see in one of my photos, Deva looks nowadays very different than the dacic times and its buildings have an eclectic architectural style ...

Now, returning to our hindusim influences, we'll discover another great deity from the indian culture that amazed me.

His name is Agni ...

Its name means fire in sanskrit and it represents to be the god of fire for the hinduism religious cult.

This deity is considered to be the mouth of the gods inside the hinduism and a sort of a medium that conveys the offerings to them in a homa, which represents to be a votive ritual.

He is conceptualized as a deity which on earth is fire, in the atmosphere is lightning, and in the sky is the sun.

Agni remains an important deity inside of Hindu traditions, being one of the central witness of the so called rite of passage ritual, which appears in the traditional Hindu weddings, called Saptapadi or Agnipradakshinam ( the translation of these words, means, seven steps and mutual vows) ...

Agni, as deity, appears additionally under the name of Agni-kumara which can be translated as "fire princes" and in its spiritual sense it represents the well-known theory of rebirth and a class of reincarnated beings.

Maybe some of the people arround this world are one of those souls, that got reincarnated through the cult of Agni?

I do recommend to everyone to read as much as possible, especially the indian literature. I know that for some people arround the world a concept like hinsuim might be something controversial and also to read the Vedic literature might be a challenge ... but i do think that a soul is evolving a lot from reading, experimenting different cultures within this Matrix.

I've always recommended everyone to visit regions arround this world and ALWAYS, if you want to understand the culture of one country, in this case, of India ... DO IT THROUGH ITS LITERATURE, CULINARY ART AND MUSIC ...

Are there other options?

I would like to hear some in the comments section bellow ... but don't start with politic ...

Meanwhile, stay safe and strong within your inner souls ... like the power of Fire ... like the whole world of Devas!

We shall be as Deva of Earth which is Fire, in the atmosphere as lightning and above in the sky as a Sun.

Everything will be fine people.

Namaste

I agree with you about reading. It is a way to learn about things you would otherwise not have any chance to get in touch with. Other times, other places. The time aspect is often forgotten. If you read, for instance Plato, he speaks directly to you over a time of more than 2 millennia. Or by all means, the Vedic literature.

the name déva is coming from the slavic devchka word (means: girl).

it reflects to the hungarian origins of the city (this is a hungarian city by the way, which romanians occupied) of the formation of the city.

the masons were building the walls around the fortress, but they were always collapsing. so they have decided to kill one of the wife of the mason who first appears with the meal of his housband. so they have killed her, put her body into the walls... and then the walls were not collapsed any more.

I guess you've read something weird from your sources ... The myth with that lady, Ana, is related to the famous Cathedral from Curtea de Arges, and the name of the mason was Manole ...

Deva, is a city, indeed, in Transylvania :-) with geto-dacic roots ...

The rest, regarding the politrick of who took from who the land of Transylvania, i'll leave that trial to the people from Atlantida :-)

here his ballad is called: Kőműves Kelemen (Kelemen the mason) the wife is not named in the song

https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9va_v%C3%A1ra

the city indeed originally was habited by dacians and romanians according to wikipedia. however the city was destroyed, and when hungarians rebuilt it, they have built the fortress which is this song about, according to wikipedia.
