Dhaata Aditya - the Healing Power of Mythology

Welcome to Episode 1 of Fiona’s Adityas Podcast — I’m so excited to share this offering with you. In this series “The Healing Power of Mythology”, my co‑host Nadamayi and I explore the Adityas through Aditi’s Circle of Love — our ecliptic - drawing on the ancient, indigenous approach to Vedic astrology taught by Ernst Wilhelm at astrology-videos.com.

Each month, during the Sun’s transit, we sit together as students (not teachers!) for an open, unstructured conversation about one Aditya, weaving mythology, symbolism, and lived experience to gain insights into this thirty degree segment of space.

In this first episode, we explore Dhātā, a deceptively simple yet foundational Aditya connected to “is-ness”, love, family, responsibility, and the natural flow of life. We also touch on Vidhātā, the allocator of life‑force, and how these principles combine to foster life.

Through stories - including Uttaṅka, the weaving of day and night, Vasuki, Hetih, Rishi Pulastya, Tumburu, and even more themes of lineage — we reflect on DNA, inheritance, discernment, healing trauma, and how contemplative practice with myth and music can support inner alignment.

If you’re curious about mythology, the Adityas, or exploring the deeper patterns of life, we’d love for you to join us!
