My faveroute Goddess : Maa Saraswati

All details from Wikipedia
Saraswati 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.

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

1. 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.
2. White colour of the goddess signifies spotless character and immaculate mind.
3. Seated on an inverted white lotus meaning to be in search of the light of knowledge.
4. White swan is the vehicle of the goddess; and this is indicative of inquisitiveness.
5. The Goddess is playing the vina; and this signifies harmony of all mental strings, agencies and attitudes.
6. The goddess is worshipped with Palash, a red odourless flower; and this symbol is indicative of being free from putrefied preconceptions.
7. Inkpot with pen and books as symbols."

Blind Faith

Was on a discussion with my bauji today morning and he was telling me an interesting fact on "FAITH"

Faith is always "andha vishwas" ...which many of us reject and so do I . But here the term is used purely for divine , its not for the rituals or followings which we perform .

I have always been fascinated by this term and try to keep as blind as possible . Today there was one reason attached to it .

Bauji said , if you attach reason to faith , its not faith , its information then and then the next stage cannot be faith . It would be falling back on something on few experiments which were done and proved succesful . The moment you attach reason to it …Mind comes and soul is out .

RamKrishana always emphasised on Andha Vishwas ...Faith ...true ....why there has to be a reason for everything ...kuch cheeze bewajah bhi honi chahie.

 

Amazing though to start my day with ....love you bauji...mere janamaan
