Deva constitutes a Sanskrit word meaning “god” or “diving being.” More specifically, deva refers to a god or divine being of the Hindu and/or Buddhist religions. In contemporary western society, deva constitutes a generic term used to elicit ideas commonly associated with Hinduism and Buddhism, such as karma, holistic living and the metaphysical connection between the energies of all living things. This term appears in various contexts ranging from literature to clothing brands.
Deva Flower Remedies is a registered brand of the Alternative Health Networks company. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Alternative Health Networks produces numerous plant-based medicinal remedies. This company produces two remedies containing pansy flowers. No other Deva pansy flower remedies exist because, technically speaking, the term deva relates in no way to flowers or floral remedies. Unlike yoga, a term similarly borrowed from Sanskrit, deva does not denote an entire system of living, but only divine beings or gods.
