Saraswati

Muse of Knowledge and the Arts.

Saraswati, the Goddess of Knowledge and Art, is revered as the quintessence of wisdom. Draped in a white saree, symbolising purity and clarity, she holds the veena – the ancient instrument whose strings reverberate with the melody of higher thought and refined intellect.

On today’s auspicious Vijayadashami, she is honoured with special veneration, symbolising the triumph of light over ignorance. This is the day when books, tools of learning, and the instruments of one’s trade are consecrated, in homes and in the workplace, both as a mark of respect and in furtherance of understanding.

In the image below of the exquisite artwork of the Goddess gracing the side wall of the Mahadev Temple in the remote Goan village of Mauxi, we see that timeless truth reflected – a luminous guide for all seekers.
