Everybody wants to become a famous kathavachak/ devotee. They are even misleading people into giving up on shastrokta upasana and asking them to just dance and sing in the name of god.

Though Aditi was usually not associated with a male consort, Ṛg Veda mentions Indra's father as Dyaus, the very personification of mighty heavens and endless expanse of sky. The birth of Indra is described in Ṛg Veda. I

Now I shall proclaim the great activities of Indra, the Lord of devas. He killed the indestructible, He cleaved open the waters, He split off the strongholds of mountains.
