Manda D Hayyi Angel
Manda d-Hayyi or Manda -Hiia (Classical Mandaic:, lit. the ‘Gnosis of Life’, ‘Knowledge of Life’, or ‘Knower of the Life’) is a Mandaeism uthra (angel or guardian) sent to John the Baptist by the Great Life (Hayyi Rabbi, or the Transcendent God). Manda d-Hayyi is regarded as the most significant uthra since he is credited with bringing manda (knowledge or gnosis) to Earth (Tibil).
