In Hinduism, Aditi (Sanskrit - limitless) is a goddess of the sky, consciousness, the past, the future and fertility. She is an ancient goddess, mother of Agni and the Adityas with Kasyapa, though she is occasionally said to be married to Brahma, with whom she is the mother of Daksha. She is associated with cows, a very holy animal in Hindu beliefs.
