Saraswati or Sarasvati is the Hindu goddess of learning, speech, intelligence,
organization, dancing, music and poetry. She revealed language and writing to
humans. Her origin is the lost Vedic river Sarasvati. This is the source of her
profound connection to fluidity in any aspect (water, speech, thought...).
She is wisdom, fortune, intelligence, nourishment,
brilliance, contentment, splendor and devotion. Also associated with any of the
creative arts, she is called the Mother of the Vedas and the repository of
Brahma's creative intelligence. Saraswati is also called Vak Devi, the
Goddess of Speech.
Dressed in white, She holds a mala (strand of Hindu prayer
beads), and a palmleaf scroll. Usually, she rides a swan and sometimes a
peacock, while playing music on a veena.
The Vilma Vashi temple in Dilwara is dedicated to Saraswati.
Students call on her to help with performing well in examinations. Calling
on her is appropriate when one wishes to improve memory, power and
concentration.
Sarasvati holds a swastika in her left hand. Swastika is an ancient Indian
sanskrit word meaning love, life, and light, and is often used in ceremonial
blessings.
This
Goddess is credited with the creation of sanskrit.
