Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge and arts, represents the free flow of wisdom and consciousness. She is the mother of the
vedas
, and chants to her, called the 'saraswati"
often begin and end Vedic lessons. Saraswati is the daughter of Lord and Goddess
d
urga
. It is believed that goddess Saraswati endows human beings with the powers of speech, wisdom and learning. She has four hands representing four aspects of human personality in learning: mind, intellect, alertness and ego. She has sacred scriptures in one hand and a lotus – the symbol of true knowledge – in the second. With her other two hands she plays the music of love and life on a string instrument called the
veena
. She is dressed in white – the symbol of purity – and rides on a white swan – symbolizing
Sattwa Guna
or purity and discrimination. Saraswati is also a prominent figure in Buddhist iconography - the consort of Manjushri. The learned and the erudite attach greater importance to the worship of
goddess saraswati
As a practice, only educated people worship her for knowledge and wisdom. They believe that only Saraswati can grant them 'moksha' - the final liberation of the soul. Saraswati's birthday - Vasant Panchami - is a Hindu festival celebrated every year on the 5th day of the bright fortnight of the lunar month of
Magha
. Hindus celebrate this festival with great fervor in temples, homes and educational institutes alike.
