Understanding Ma Saraswati

 

Whenever you are trapped in a tactful situation, take a deep breath and chant Ma Saraswati's name. Align your mind to her feet, focus on the music of her Veena. Wait! But why? And who is Ma saraswati?

Ma Saraswati is the goddess of Wisdom and it is through her light that we are able to differentiate between right and wrong. Yes , what we call "conscience" is in reality our ability to perceive her light.

Ma Saraswati is the goddess of Knowledge. Complacency leads to stagnancy and stagnancy leads to decay of our minds. Our desire to seek knowledge every second is ultimately our growth and leads us one step closer to the divine mother.

Ma Saraswati is the goddess of Music. Music is not necessary the one produced by an instrument or the vocal cords. Music is synchronising one's actions with that of the waves of Ma, flowing like a river towards the ocean of righteousness.

Ma Saraswati is the goddess of speech. Whatever we utter has an impact. An empathetic tone and kind words generate blessings and bliss. A rude tone and abusive words generate negativity and darkness. Ma resides in the former.

Ma Saraswati is the goddess of art. Art is an expression of the divine. Like reflecting the nature of Ma Saraswati through human hands. When integrated with self reflection, one can eliminate the wrong traits so that the moral traits bloom more beautifully.

Ma Saraswati is the goddess who dwells in the purity of a devotee's thoughts. Intentions matter here. When Ma Saraswati sees good intentions, she steps in and illuminates the devotee's soul so that he sees things more clearly and takes prudent decisions.

Ma Saraswati should not just be seen as a goddess in human form. She is beyond that

Beyond yet so close to us...very close..So close that when we decide to aim for knowledge and open our eyes..SHE SEES THROUGH OUR EYES, and we then have her vision.

Ma Saraswati is thus the eternal force of divinity, wisdom and music. Bow before her, touch her feet, imbibe her light, spread her light O devotees! Her lotus will bloom, her Veena will play celestial music, and the sound ॐ shall enchant us then.
