saraswati
Saraswasti has been identified from earliest times with the Vedic Saraswasti river. Her name literally means “ The One who Flows”
Saraswasti is a Vedic River Goddess. Whenever when you lounge by the banks of a graciously flowing river you realise this suitable association for the Goddess of Wisdom, Learning and Arts. She carries the breath, the sustenance that is life within her, she takes oxygen from the ether and blends it with hydrogen and creates water, she is the flowing river as well as the water, they are inseparable
She carries all the minerals and riches of the mountains and hills, collecting, storing and disposing where needed. Over the ages in her dancing she curves and crafts and weaves her way through the mountains and forests and carves gracious valleys over meandering meadows blessing the land about and around. The beauty of her banks, the nourishment of her flowing water, spreading all around it’s essence, so the flowers bloom, the crops grow, thirsts are sated, garments are washed, bodies are cleaned, and on and on, radiating her glory, showering her gifts.

rivers
Fishes swim in her, plants arise in her, she lets her essence be carried up into clouds so that her radiance may shower from above and rejoin the river to continue this cycle. This circular dance of water, this enriching element ever flowing, ever enriching, an ideal of energy and matter, never diminishing, always revolving and deliciously dancing. Hers the most cherishing, nourishing countenance in existence.
Civilisation flourished along her vast banks . The most learned people of the ancient world gathered and settled along her banks. They thought and pondered on many things, the stars in the firmament, the deepness within man, the music, the dance, the knowledge.

arts and wisdom
She is the Goddess of knowledge, music and the arts. The arts and crafts and poetry and prose all lie within her domain.
Without her we would not have the scriptures and the music, She is the one through whom we praise and devote ourselves to all other divinities She is the scriptures which are chanted, the shastras which are studied, the revelations which are followed the melody that is played, She is the translation and interpretation, the debate and discussion
In modern terms Saraswasti is the world wide web. She is the code that creates, sustains and nurtures the web. She is the force that creates and fashions and crafts the iPad and the many other awesome and amazing gadgets and gizmos of our age.
dancing
Saraswasti is there to inspire us with grace, beauty and wisdom. To engage in any intelligent, learned or artistic passion we need capability and ability, passion and creativity. Saraswasti instills and fills us with that ability, that longing and yearning, without which nothing much of any value would be achieved.
Saraswasti is graceful, glowing flowing, through her, all others are contained, all philosophies and messages, inspiring us to spread…..
