Unveiling the Wisdom and Creativity of Saraswati: A Deeper
Understanding
Mother Saraswati is one of the three principal Goddesses in
Hinduism who are known as “Tridevi”; the other two being Lakshmi
and Parvati. In the Vedic scriptures, she is mentioned as the
consort of Lord Brahma, the creator of the material world, and
thus assists him in his activities. She is often depicted as
having a beautiful youthful body with four arms holding a book
(represents the Vedas), a rosary (signifying the importance of
chanting the holy names of the Supreme Lord Vishnu), a water
pot, and a musical instrument called Veena. She sits on a white
swan that symbolizes the capacity to discriminate between good
and evil.
She is worshiped by many people across the globe in different
forms. She is the Goddess of knowledge, art, music, speech, and
learning. People in parts of India celebrate Saraswati Puja in
the month of spring in which the elders of the family begin the
day by taking the blessings of Mother Saraswati and then teach
their children to read and write the letters of the alphabet.
Can Saraswati idol be kept at home?
Goddess Saraswati is the manifestation or expansion of Goddess
Lakshmi or Srimati Radharani, the eternal consort of the Supreme
Lord. She is very merciful toward all living entities and
blesses them with whatever material desires they have. But if
one sincerely and genuinely approaches her and serves her to
know about the Absolute Truth and the real aim of human life,
she bestows all good fortune upon them and inspires them to walk
the path toward the Supreme. Thus, if you want to please Mother
Saraswati through your selfless service, you can keep her deity
at home and worship her with faith and devotion.
Where should we keep a Saraswati idol at home?
Knowing that Goddess Saraswati is worthy of our respectful
obeisance at her lotus feet is important. If you have a deity of
Mother Saraswati at home or are planning to buy one, the best
place to keep it is the altar. She should be worshiped with the
right attitude and mindset. However, if you want to keep the
deity in your living room for spiritualizing the space, you
should keep it on a clean surface.
What is the benefit of keeping a Saraswati idol?
Keeping and worshiping the deity of Goddess Saraswati at your
home will be highly beneficial for the whole family. As she is
the bestower of knowledge, she can bless you with a good memory,
intelligence, and artistic skills. If you worship her with full
faith and surrender, she will guide you to the path of the
Absolute Truth, the way back home, back to Godhead. This is the
ultimate fruit of worshiping her.
