Usha
उषा
uṣā
Dawn.
A Vedic goddess symbolic of new openings of divine illumination on man’s physical consciousness. Usha is the illumination of Truth, the half-lit night of our being before the day of full consciousness.
She is daughter of Heaven, the face or power of Aditi; She is the constant opening out of the divine light upon the human being; she is the coming of the spiritual riches, a light, a power, a new birth and the pouring out of the golden treasure of heaven into earthly existence.
Night is sister of Dawn and reverse side of the eternal infinite.
Usha was a daughter of Banasura. She was married to Aniruddha, grandson of Sri Krishna.
