From Sanskrit deva “god, luminous” and yāna “vehicle, path, journey,” Devyaan conveys “the divine path,” “vehicle of the gods,” or “one set on a sacred journey.” In classical literature - especially the Upanishads - devayāna names the northern path by which the soul ascends to the realm of the gods, contrasting with pitṛyāna, the ancestors’ way.
