Vasu

In Hinduism, the Vasus are attendant deities of Indra, and later Vishnu. They are eight elemental gods (called "Aṣṭa-vasu", 'Eight Vasus') representing aspects of nature, representing cosmic natural phenomenon. The name Vasu means 'Dweller' or 'Dwelling'. They are eight among the Thirty-three gods.

Eight Vasus

There are varying lists of the eight Vasus in different texts, sometimes only because particular deities have varying names. The following are names and meanings according to the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad and according to the Mahabharata as normally equated:

Though the Shatapatha Brahmana uses the Brhad-Aranyaka names, most later texts follow the Mahabharata names with the exception that Āpa 'water' usually appears in place of Aha. The Vishnu Purana equates Prabhāsa with the lights of the 27 or 28 Nakshetra (Constellations/Lunar Mansions) and Dhruva with Akash Tatwa, that is "space", Dhruva seemingly taking over Aha's role when Aha is replaced by Āpa.

Ramayana and Mahabharata

In the Ramayana the Vasus are children of the sage Kashyapa by Aditi and so are full siblings to the Adityas. However the Mahabharata makes them sons of Prajāpati son of Manu son of Brahma by various mothers.

    A Face

    by: Sesame Street

    A face can be up
    A face can be down
    A face can be as funny as the face of a clown
    A face can show just how you feel inside
    When your eyes open up
    And your smile opens wide
    Your eyes could be brown
    Your eyes could be blue
    But there's never ever any other face just like you
    When you're sad or crying
    And you don't know what to do--
    Somebody's face can happen along
    And smile the sunshine back into you
    A face can show just how you feel inside
    When your eyes open up
    And your smile opens wide
    Your eyes could be brown
    (Or) Your eyes could be blue
    But there's never ever any other face just like you
    When you're sad or crying
    And you don't know what to do--
    Somebody's face can happen along
    And smile the sunshine back into you
