Saraswathi
SaraswathiSaraswathi
is the goddess of wisdom and learning. She is considered as the personification
of all knowledge - arts, sciences, crafts and all skills. Saraswathi is
the consort of Brahma who is the creator. Creation is not possible unless
the creator has knowledge of what and how to create. This idea is symbolized
by the marriage of Brahma and Saraswathi.
Saraswathi literally means "one who gives the essence
(sara) of our own Self (swa)". Saraswathi holds akshmala (rosary)
in one hand and sacred scriptures in another. She plays veena (a musical
instrument) with third and fourth hands. The four hands of the Goddess
represent the four aspects of the inner personality of human being, namely
manas (mind), buddhi (intellect), ahankar (ego), and chitta (conditioned
consciousness).
Saraswathi Puja is performed every Wednesday evening in the temple. There
is a special puja at Basant Panchmi and also at the beginning of school
year by the students and their parents.
