Saraswati (Sanskrit: सरस्वती, Sarasvatī ?)
is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts and science. She is the companion of Brahma, also revered as his Shakti (power). It was
with her knowledge, that Brahma created the universe. She is a part of trinity
"Saraswati", "Lakshmi" and "Parvati". All the
three forms help trinity "Brahma", "Vishnu" and
"Shiva" in the creation, maintenance and destruction of the
Universe. The Goddess is also revered by believers of the Jain religion of west and central India.
Saraswati
is known as a guardian deity in Buddhism who upholds the teachings
of Gautama Buddha by
offering protection and assistance to practitioners. She is known in Burmese as Thurathadi or Tipitaka Medaw in Chinese as Biàncáitiān (辯才天), in Thai as Surasawadee (สุรัสวดี)
and in Japanese as Benzaiten (弁才天/弁財天). In the East Indian states of Bihar, West Bengal, and Odisha, Saraswati is considered to be a daughter of Durga along with her sister Lakshmi and her brothers Ganesha and Karthikeya.
The
name Saraswati comes from saras (meaning "flow")
and wati (meaning "she who has flow"). In Telugu Language(తెలుగుభాష) she is also known as chaduvula talli(చదువులతల్లి), Sharada(శారద). In Konkani, she is referred to as Sharada,
Veenapani, Pustaka dharini, Vidyadayini. In Kannada, variants of her name include
Sharade, Sharadamba, Vani, Veenapani in the famous Shringeri temple. In Tamil, she is also known as kalaimagal (கலைமகள்), Kalaivaani (கலைவாணி), Vaani (வாணி). She is also addressed as Sharada (the
one who loves the autumn season), Veena pustaka dharani
(the one holding books and a Veena), Vaakdevi,
Vagdevi, Vani (all meaning "speech"), Varadhanayagi (the one
bestowing boons) and many other names.
In
addition to her role as a goddess of learning, Saraswati is known as
"Druga" in reference to her role as a guardian of Earth.
"Druga" refers to her fighting off Drug, the name for a female demon
in ancient Veda, from the Sanskrit root druh, "to be hostile".
The name Druga is made of Sanskrit dru or dur ("with
difficulty") and gā or jā ("come",
"go").
Saraswati
is strongly associated with flowing water in her role as a goddess of
knowledge. She is depicted as a beautiful woman to embody the concept of
knowledge as supremely alluring. She possesses four arms, and is usually shown
wearing a spotless white saree and seated on
a white lotus or
riding a white swan.
According
to writer Sailen Debnath, "Saraswati is the Goddess of learning; and
the meaning of the goddess in association of all the symbols with her signifies
that if a learner really understands and pursues the connotative and denotative
meaning of the goddess, he or she can easily advance in acquiring knowledge.
The realization of the Goddess makes the learner ready to embark on the world
of knowledge and wisdom. Debneth identifies seven primary characteristics
and symbols of the goddess that relate to her role as a goddess of knowledge.
Saraswati
is the goddess of learning, and not a god; and this feminine aspect signifies
creativity, as a woman can originate a human being in her womb.
White
colour of the goddess signifies spotless character and immaculate mind.
Seated
on an inverted white lotus meaning to be in search of the light of knowledge.
White
swan is the vehicle of the goddess; and this is indicative of inquisitiveness.
The
Goddess is playing the vina; and this signifies harmony of all
mental strings, agencies and attitudes.
The
goddess is worshipped with Palash, a red odourless flower; and this symbol is
indicative of being free from putrefied preconceptions.
Inkpot
with pen and books as symbols."
In
the Rigveda, Saraswati is a river as well as its personification
as a goddess. In the post-Vedic age, she began to lose her status as a river
goddess and became increasingly associated with literature, arts, music, etc.
In Hinduism, Saraswati represents intelligence, consciousness, cosmic
knowledge, creativity, education, enlightenment, music, the arts, eloquence and
power. Hindus worship her not only for "academic knowledge", but for
"divine knowledge" essential to achieve moksha.
In
the center reside the deities of fire, sun and moon, Kurma-avatara,
Ananta Sesha, and Garuda, the master of the three Vedas. The Vedic hymns and all
sacred mantras also stay in that holy place,
which is made of all the Vedas and which is known in the Smriti-sastra (Scriptures of Remembrance) as the
yoga-pitha (Sanctuary of Union). (Padma Purana Uttara-khanda 256.23)
Accompanied
by Lakshmi and other associates, the chatur-vyuha (Four Expansions) headed by
Lord Vasudeva are manifest in the eight
directions, beginning with the east. In the directions beginning with the
southeast, the palaces of Lakshmi, Saraswati, Rati,
and Kanti, respectively, are situated. According to Vedanta, she is considered to be the feminine
energy and knowledge aspect (Shakti) of Brahma, as one of many aspects of Adi Shakti.
Maha
Saraswati - In the Devi Mahatmya, Saraswati is in the trinity of Maha
Kali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswati. She is depicted as eight-armed.
Wielding
in her lotus-hands the bell, trident, ploughshare, conch, pestle, discus, bow,
and arrow, her lustre is like that of a moon shining in the autumn sky. She is
born from the body of Gowri and is the
sustaining base of the three worlds. That Mahasaraswati I worship here who
destroyed Sumbha and other asuras.
Mahavidya
Nila Saraswati - Nilasaraswati is another form of Mahavidya Tara. There are separate dhyana shlokas
and mantras for her worship in Tantrasara.
Saraswati
is known as a guardian deity in Buddhism who upholds the teachings
of Gautama Buddha by
offering protection and assistance to practitioners.
The
goddess Saraswati is often depicted as a beautiful woman dressed in pure white,
often seated on a white lotus, which symbolizes that she is founded
in the experience of the absolute truth. Thus, she not only has the knowledge
but also the experience of the highest reality. She is mainly associated with
the color white, which signifies the purity of true knowledge. Occasionally,
however, she is also associated with the colour yellow, the colour of the
flowers of the mustard
plant that bloom
at the time of her festival in the spring. Unlike the goddess Lakshmi, Saraswati is adorned with simple
jewels and gold, representing her preference of knowledge over worldly material
things.
She
is generally shown to have four arms, which represent the four aspects of human
personality in learning: mind, intellect, alertness, and ego. Alternatively,
these four arms also represent the four Vedas, the primary sacred books for
Hindus. The Vedas, in turn, represent the three forms of literature:
Poetry
— the Rigveda contains hymns, representing
poetry.
Prose
— Yajurveda contains prose.
Music
— Samaveda represents music.
The
four hands also depict this thus—prose is represented by the book in one hand,
poetry by the garland of crystal, and music by the veena. The pot of sacred
water represents purity in all of these three, or their power to purify human
thought.
She
is shown to hold the following in her hands, A book, which is the sacred Vedas, representing the universal, divine, eternal, and true
knowledge as well as her perfection of the sciences and the scriptures.
A mālā of
crystals, representing the power of meditation and spirituality.
A
pot of sacred water, representing creative and purification powers.
The vina, a musical instrument that represents
her perfection of all arts and sciences. Saraswati is also associated
with anurāga, the love for and rhythm of music, which represents all
emotions and feelings expressed in speech or music.
The
beautiful human form of Saraswati comes to the fore in this English translation
of the Saraswati hymn:
"May
Goddess Saraswati, who is fair like the jasmine-colored moon, and whose pure
white garland is like frosty dew drops, who is adorned in radiant white attire,
on whose beautiful arm rests the veena, and whose throne is a white lotus, who
is surrounded and respected by the Gods, protect me. May you fully remove my
lethargy, sluggishness, and ignorance."[9]
A
hansa / hans or swan is often located next to her
feet. The sacred bird, if offered a mixture of milk and water, is said to be
able to drink the milk alone. It thus symbolizes discrimination between the
good and the bad or the eternal and the evanescent. Due to her association with
the bird, Saraswati is also referred to as Hansvahini, which means "she
who has a hansa / hans as her vehicle".
She
is usually depicted near a flowing river, which may be related to her early
history as a river goddess.
Sometimes
a peacock is shown beside the goddess. The
peacock represents arrogance and pride over its beauty, and by having a peacock as
her mount, the goddess teaches not to be
concerned with external appearance and to be wise regarding the eternal truth.
In
Hindu beliefs, great significance is attached to offering honey to this
goddess, as honey is representative of perfect knowledge. Hymns dedicated to
her include Saraswati
Vandana Mantra.
Temples
- In Karnataka, the Shringeri
Sharadamba Temple is a revered pilgrimage spot. There are other
Sharada temples also.
In Goa, Maharashtra and Karnataka, Saraswati Puja starts with Saraswati
Avahan on Maha Saptami and ends on Vijayadashami with Saraswati Udwasan or Visarjan.

Sarasvati
Puja in Eastern India
In
the eastern part of India—Tripura, Orissa, West Bengal, Bihār and
Assam,—Saraswati Puja is celebrated in the Magha month (January–February). It
coincides with Vasant Panchami or
Shree Panchami, i.e., the fifth day of the bright fortnight of the lunar month
of Magha. People place books near the goddess' statue or picture and worship
the goddess. Book reading is not allowed on this day.
Sarasvati
Puja in South India
In
the southern states of India, Saraswati Puja is conducted during the Navaratri. Navaratri literally means
"nine nights", but the actual celebrations continue during the 10th
day, which is considered as Vijaya Dashami or the Victorious Tenth Day.
Navaratri starts with the new-moon day of the bright fortnight of the Sharad
Ritu (Sharad Season of the six seasons of India) during September–October. The
festival celebrates the power of the feminine aspect of divinity
or shakti. The last two or three days are dedicated to Goddess Saraswati
in South India.
In Karnataka the Mysore Dasara festival
includes Sharada puje. During the Navarathri season they keep various dolls on
raised platforms this arrangement is called ("Gombe koorisuvudu").
Pustaka puje and musical instruments puja is also done on Saraswati pooja day.
In Tamil Nadu, Sarasvati Puja is conducted along
with the Ayudha Puja (the
worship of weapons and implements including machines). On the ninth day of
Navaratri, i.e., the Mahanavami day, books and all musical instruments are
ceremoniously kept in front of the Goddess Sarasvati early at dawn and
worshipped with special prayers. No studies or any performance of arts is
carried out, as it is considered that the goddess herself is blessing the books
and the instruments. The festival concludes on the tenth day of Navaratri (Vijaya Dashami), and the goddess is
worshipped again before the books and the musical instruments are removed. It
is customary to start the study afresh on this day, which is called
Vidyarambham (literally, "Commencement of Knowledge").
In Kerala, the last three days of the Navaratri festival, i.e.,
Ashtami, Navami, and Dashami, are celebrated as Sarasvati Puja. The
celebrations start with the Puja Veypu (Placing for Worship). It consists of
placing the books for Pooja on the Ashtami day. It may be in one's own house,
in the local nursery school run by traditional teachers, or in the local
temple. The books will be taken out for reading, after worship, only on the
morning of the third day (Vijaya Dashami). It is called Puja Eduppu (Taking
[from] Puja). Children are happy, since they are not expected to study on these
days. On the Vijaya Dashami day, Kerala celebrates the Ezhuthiniruthu or
Initiation of Writing for the little children before they are admitted to
nursery schools. This is also called Vidyarambham. The child is made to write
for the first time on the rice spread in a plate with the index finger, guided
by an elder of the family or by a reputed teacher. The little ones will have to
write "Hari Shri Ganapataye Namah" and recite the same to mark the
auspicious entry into the world of education. This is considered a memorable
event in the life of a person. In some parts of Kerala bordering Tamil Nadu,
Ayudha Puja is also conducted during this period.
