Thank you ... I know the west uses that word Diva - but it doesn't really imply the same thing as Devi.

It is more a play on the word, like calling a woman or gal a "Queen Bee". It has a bit of a sarcastic tone to it.

My nickname for Debra is Debbie which of course now I always see as Devi ... 😊

Also, I notice that oftentimes when Sati or Parvati speak, they would start the sentence with something that sounds like "Upkah". I can't remember exactly what the word is, however it is said a lot at the beginning of a sentence. What does this mean?

Thank you

Also, I have it on my list to look up the information regarding Hanuman. I have I read that some believe that Hanuman was an incarnation of Shiva. I would like to hear what the Forum folks have to say about this.

Should it be posted as a separate Subject?

Thank you Vaarali.

What is a 'partial incarnation'? Meaning an aspect of Shiva? Is there somewhere in the Scriptures that reflects this?

Yes, Hanuman is called as "Rudra-avatar". In one of his forms, Shiva manifested himself as eleven beings. They came to be known as the "Rudras". Hanuman emerged out of the eleventh Rudra. This manifestation of Lord Shiva is NOT to be confused with the fierce warrior aspect of Shiva in which also he is known as Rudra.

There is a famous segment in the Krishna- Yajur Veda which is in praise of the eleven Rudras.

If you want the exact spiritual reference I will have to hunt for it.

I know all these beings are aspects or expressions of the Godhead and they like we make up the whole, so many times there is the simple solution "They are all one and the same".

I know there has been a lot of debate regarding Krishna being an incarnation of Shiva however so far I have not come across any type of documentation in this regard.

Krishna is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu- not Shiva.

When Agni, the god of fire, gave Dasharath, the king of Ayodhya, a bowl of sacred dessert to share among his wives so they may have divine children, an eagle snatched a part of the pudding and dropped it where Anjana was meditating, and Pavana, the god of wind delivered the drop to her outstretched hands. After she took the divine dessert, she gave birth to Hanuman. Thus Lord Shiva incarnated as a monkey, and was born as Hanuman to Anjana, by the blessings of Pavana, who thus became Hanuman's godfather.
