Aditi (Sanskrit: अदिति, lit. 'boundless' or 'limitless'[a] or 'innocence'[2]) is an important Vedic goddess in Hinduism. She is the personification of the sprawling, infinite and vast cosmos. She is the goddess of motherhood, consciousness, unconsciousness, the past, the future, and fertility.[4] She is the mother of the celestial deities known as the Adityas, and is referred to as the mother of many deities. As celestial mother of numerous beings, the synthesis of all things, she is associated with space (akasha) and with mystic speech (Vāc). She may be seen as a feminine form of Brahma and associated with the primal substance (mulaprakriti) in the Vedanta.
