Barabara za Yemanja (Roads of Yemanja) – Uzuri (Beauty)

The Creator Supreme has graced the Afrikan with a special knowingness of phenomena of the sacred universe. This is unique and superlative acumen. Thus, the water of the world has its own special narrative etched within the cosmos.  The mighty deity of Yemanja represents water flow and in knowing her, the world of water is realised. In livingness, there are a number of roads of Yemanja.  These roads are her qualities manifest in the sacred universe and throughout Afrikan life. They are mission-compelling attributes of spirit substance as the roads of are also the roads to evermore enlightened greatness.  Through spiritual and cultural beingness the living qualities of Yemanja are evoked and imbibed magnificently empowering the Afrikan soul to bring about their manifestation upon the earth. As spiritual and cultural acumen is restored and grows the roads are brought into glorious focus and open the way to ever-greater abundance.  Yemanja’s name means Mother of Fish and each road carries her grand royal title of deep cosmic and symbolic meaning. The Kishwahili phrase for Mother of Fish is Mama wa Samaki. The Kiswahili phrase for Roads of Yemanja is Barabara za Yemanja.

There are a number of roads of Yemanja. The roads as derived by this author are each identified in the language of Kiswahili with names reflecting the living purpose of each road together with emphasis placed on what Yemanja means to her people – the beautiful Afrikan souls of creation are as follows:

Yemanja – Tafakari (Reflection)

Yemanja – Malkia (Queen)
Yemanja – Mawimbi (Waves)
Yemanja – Mjumbe (Messenger)

Yemanja – Dunia (Earth)
Yemanja – Uzuri (Beauty)
Yemanja – Mto (River)
Yemanja – Mama (Maternal)
Yemanja – Kiongozi (Leader)
Yemanja – Wa Milele (Eternal)

The eighth road is Yemanja Uzuri (Beauty) and is summarised thus:

Yemanja – Uzuri (Beauty), Mama wa Samaki, beauty of the ocean. Here, Yemanja presides the waters that provide abundance to all sea life and the abundance of plenty in Afrikan life.  

Yemanja Uzuri represents the magnificent beautifulness of water and water life. With Yemanja Uzuri there is beauty in power, there is beauty in grace, there is beauty in abundance, there is beauty in peaceful serenity, there is beauty in the roar. These are amongst the endless and richly endowed qualities that she expresses from water flow of the the smallest kind to that of the greatest expanse. She energises the same in the Afrikan soul who are not only blessed with the superlative natural beauty at the aesthetic level by the Creator Supreme, but are also naturally endowed with the profound depth of divine and holistic beauty substance. Yemanja Uzuri is the enlivener and (in times of disruption) the great restorer of Afrikan beauty in all of its wholesomeness. She abhors any grotesque, degrading and ugly pseudo-beauty standards imposed upon Afrikan souls by others and lifts the Afrikan in their complete and natural abundance of their world-illuminating and astonishing selves.
