Dear Srimathy SaranAthan :

I am sure that your postings on Asvin DEvAs would be most
informative like all of the other postings .

Just to have the benefit of your thinkining on Aswini DevAs ,
here is a starter from this end :

*** There are 12 Rks in the third hymn of the Book I of Rg Veda.
       Three are devoted to Aswin dEvAs .They are also saluted in
        the Seventh book of Rg Vedam .

*** Asvinau in dual numbers are considered as the two sons of
      Sun during His metamorphosis as Asva (Horse) ; the Twins are
      attributed to have eternal Youth and beauty . They are saluted
      as expert Physicans and surgeons to the DEvAs ( Asvinou dEvAnam
      bhishajou ) .Their Mother is "SaraNya" in Vedic parlance .

*** The Asvins are invoked for enlightenment on the dual of thought-action.
       They  are described as "Swift-Footed" and" Fierce moving intheir
       paths" .

*** The Asvins according to Yaksha& others  are of many kinds : (1) Heaven
       and Earth  (2) AhO-Rathri (Day and Night) , (3) The Sun and  the Moon 
/
       Soorya-chandramasou (4) Two virtuous Princes of extraordinary beauty 
and
       Youth (5) They are the vitality of the human being as the motive 
force behind the
       journey of life (6) They are the wind and fire (Rg.Vedam : II.39.8) 
(7)  They are
      widely present ( VyApana silau ) (8) They are PrANa-Apaana .

*** Among Vedic Gods , they are linked with VisvadEvAs ,Ushas , Sarama and 
Panis .

*** They have a 3 cornerd Chariot and are honey drinkers ( Madhva:
       biBhatham-- Rk IV.45).

*** They are also referred to as " naasatya " ( na +asathya) . One Asvin is
       pervading  every thing with moisture and the other with light .They 
are
       the two  protectors  (PaalayithAram) .

*** They rise at dawn ( the illumination of Sathya)  and help us climb thru
      successive(Five) levels of consciousness towards Sathyam and Aanandham
     ( Rig Vedam : IX.15.2) .

*** " Asvinou vyAttham "
