Astadev are the eight deities representing the eight corners of the earth. All these deities are from the Sun dynasty clan. They are the ancestors of the world. These eight deities are connected to the eight religions namely - Suryavanshi, Chandravanshi, Islamvanshi, Boudhivanshi, Christianvanshi, Sanyasvanshi, Muslimvanshi, Sikhvanshi.
At present only 2 deities are declared
1 Eshwara - belonging to the Suryavanshi dynasty or the Sun Dynasty. He is the President & Father of Sun Dynasty.
2 Kubera - belonging to the Chandravanshi dynasty or the Moon Dynasty. She is the Prime Minister & Mother of Sun Dynasty. Kubera is shown as the Lord of Wealth. It is the wealth of knowledge that Kubera possesses. Also known as Kashi Nagari or the City of Kashi or Benaras. In the Scriptures Kashi is called the most beloved city of Shankar and rests on the tip of the trident.
As for the rest the third deity is all but about to be revealed. It is the Yama also called as Dharmaraj or the Chief Justice. Chief Justice needs to be very strict and strong on the principles and hence is selected from Islamvanshi the religion which is very strong on its principles.
