A form of Brahma, and his son in the Puranas. But the Rig Veda states that “Daksha sprang from Aditi, and Aditi from Daksha”, which proves him to be a personified correlating Creative Force acting on all the planes. The Orientalists seem very much perplexed what to make of him; but Roth is nearer the truth than any, when saying that Daksha is the spiritual power, and at the same time the male energy that generates the gods in eternity, which is represented by Aditi. The Puranas, as a matter of course, anthropomorphize the idea, and show Daksha instituting “sexual intercourse on this earth”, after trying every other means of procreation. The generative Force, spiritual at the commencement, becomes of course at the most material end of its evolution a procreative Force on the physical plane; and so far the Puranic allegory is correct, as the Secret Science teaches that our present mode of procreation began towards the end of the third Root-Race.

Dhyan-Choan
(Sanskrit) “Lord of the Light.” A Cosmocreator or Elohim. The Divine Intelligences supervising the cosmos. “A Dhyan Chohan is one who has already abandoned the four bodies of sin, which are the physical, astral, mental and causal bodies. A Dhyan Chohan only acts with his Diamond Soul. He has already liberated himself from Maya (illusion); thus, he lives happily in Nirvana. – Samael Aun Weor, The Revolution of Beelzebub
Dhyani Buddha
(Sanskrit) “Meditation Buddha.” Any one of the five symbolic aspects of the Buddha, often presented as “enlightened families” of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. These five Buddha families symbolize the fully developed consciousness related to the purified skandhas. However…
“…there are five Dhyanis who are the “celestial” Buddhas, of whom the human Buddhas are the manifestations in the world of form and matter. Esoterically, however, the Dhyani-Buddhas are seven, of whom five only have hitherto manifested,* and two are to come in the sixth and seventh Root-races. They are, so to speak, the eternal prototypes of the Buddhas who appear on this earth, each of whom has his particular divine prototype.” —H.P.Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine (1888)
