~The More You Know!~

Ushas, Sanskrit for "dawn", is a Vedic deity, and so also Hindu deity as well.

She is an exalted goddess in the Rig Veda (a collection of old, sacred hymns in Hinduism) but less prominent in post-Rigvedic texts. She is often spoken of in the plural, "the Dawns." She is portrayed as warding off evil spirits of the night, and as a beautifully adorned young woman riding in a golden chariot on her path across the sky,

In one recent Hindu interpretation, Sri Aurobindo in his Secret of the Veda, described Ushas as "the medium of the awakening, the activity and the growth of the other gods; she is the first condition of the Vedic realisation.

Despite her Hindu origin, the least nubee could do was include the Indian 'Good morning' along with the other languages. But whatever.

P.S. What is 'Good morning' in the Indian language anyway?
