Bhaga : Lord of Enjoyment, classed among the Ādityas & the Vishwadevas (q.v.). He is one of the four powers of the Truth of Surya, & represents a happy spontaneity of the right enjoyment dispelling the evils of sin & error & suffering.
... he gives to the human being full enjoyment of that greatest delight. Therefore Vasishtha cries to him, "O Bhaga, our leader, Bhaga who hast the wealth of the Truth, giving unto us, raise up and increase, O Bhaga, this thought in us,"—the Truth-thought by which the felicity is attained. Bhaga is Savitri the Creator, he who brings forth from the unmanifest Divine the truth of a divine universe, dispelling... it seeks for it with knowledge or with ignorance, with the divine strength or the weakness of our yet undeveloped powers. "On Bhaga the strong calls for his increasing, on Bhaga he who has not the strength; then he moves towards the Delight."

The joy and delight that is attainable by the fulfillment of the nature of Bhaga is unattainable except by intense aspiration... unbounded. Bhaga, the cosmic power and being conceived as the supreme enjoyer of the infinite reality and its creative power ( savitra ) opens the gate for the yogin to the supra-mental truth and divine bliss. Bhaga stands between the Infinite and the created worlds within us and without. According to the Vedic knowledge, all creation originates from delight, and all that flows directly from Bhaga is suvitam... Human action is therefore duritam, marked by error or stumbling or sin and perversion. That is why, the yogin prays to Bhaga: "O divine producer, dismiss all evils; what is good, that send forth on us. ( Viśvāni deva savitar duritāni parā suva, yad bhadram tanna āsuva ) ”. When Bhaga puts everything in its right place in the divine rhythm by the knowledge that listens to or receives true word as it ...
... entire being, has to be baked, — baked fully by the heat and austerity of Aryaman. But there is still Bhaga to be fulfilled. The Supreme Light is joy and we must learn to bear not only the intensest effort but also the highest degrees of delight. The Supreme Reality itself is supreme delight. Bhaga is to be approached, and in unity with Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman, he has to be embodied. Highest... man the path to the still higher realms and to the Supreme Reality. But before one can reach the Supreme or the Supreme Light, (Savitri), one has to cross the four gods: Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman and Bhaga. They are to be embraced and to be fulfilled before they lead the seeker to his goal. Varuna represents vastness, infinite wideness, limitlessness. The Truth that the Veda worships is infinite; ...

Bhaga is the God of enjoyment. Unless you know how to enjoy truly, you cannot enter into the Supermind. But enjoy truly, that is to say. Usually a small joy is enough to make us dance and flutter and... Rishis. The soul which is tied into hundred nets — the swan which wants to fly, which cannot fly and has to battle — goes beyond Indra into swah, and goes beyond swah to Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman and Bhaga, enters into Surya. And then comes soma. The highest is soma, the great delight. When that delight can be held in the body, that is Immortality. This was the greatest achievement of the Vedic Rishis ...
... brief. The functions of Bhaga are outlined more clearly and are the same in the cosmos and in man. In this hymn of Shyavashwa to Savitri we see both the functions of Bhaga and his oneness with Surya Savitri; for it is to the creative Lord of Truth that the hymn is addressed, to Surya, but to Surya specifically in his form as Bhaga, as the Lord of Enjoyment. The word bhaga means enjoyment or the... Four great deities constantly appear in the Veda as closely allied in their nature and in their action, Varuna, Mitra, Bhaga, Aryaman. Varuna and Mitra are continually coupled together in the thoughts of the Rishis; sometimes a trio appears together, Varuna, Mitra and Bhaga or Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman. Separate sūktas addressed to any of these godheads are comparatively Page 300 rare... creation, Varuna and Mitra, Aryaman and Bhaga are four effective Puissances. Varuna represents the principle of pure and wide being, Sat in Sachchidananda; Aryaman represents the light of the divine consciousness working as Force; Mitra representing light and knowledge, using the principle of Ananda for creation, is Love maintaining the law of harmony; Bhaga represents Ananda as the creative enjoyment; ...
... Light, which is symbolised by Savitri is guarded by four guardians, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman and Bhaga. These four guardians have to be embraced and fulfilled. Varuna represents vastness and infinity of wideness; Mitra represents harmony; Aryaman represents austerity, tapasya, and Bhaga represents the divine enjoyment. The seeker has, therefore, to become as wide as the universe, and ...

Surya Savitri, creator and increaser, and Bhaga Savitri, receiver Page 272 and enjoyer, come into a natural relation or partnership; from the unmanifest come the "seven delights", thanks to Surya Savitri, and Bhaga Savitri prevents their misuse and induces "fruitful felicity", or creative enjoyment: Surya Savitri, who is Bhaga, stands between the Infinite and the ... sanctuary where the journey ends and the blissful enjoyment of Bhaga awaits us: The goal of the path is the divine beatitude, the illimitable joy of the Truth, of the infinity of our being.

There is, further, the double conception of the Surya Savitri and the Bhaga Savitri, who are themselves aspects of Surya, the Sun; for the Sun is, not only Truth, but also Light; he is the creator (Surya Savitri), the fosterer or increaser (Pushan), and the enjoyer (Bhaga Savitri).

It is now not a denial, but a relaxation especially of the energy, less of the light, less still of the bhoga, (Aryama, Varuna, Bhaga).
