This festival marks the end of winter and beginning of spring.
Soon we will write more about the six seasons occurring in the Indian calendar and mentioned in Ayurveda.
Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge, the arts, music and wisdom.
She is dressed in white, often seated on a white lotus symbolises light, knowledge and truth.
She is carried by a swan, also called Hamsa in Sanskrit. You will see her holding a Veena, its melody known for filling the universe with Prana, vital energy.
Acknowledging Saraswati, we encourage the flow of wisdom and consciousness into our lives.
Ways to encourage Saraswati in your life:
Singing
Saraswati Mantra
Playing a musical instrument
Introspection and meditation
Art and creativity
Poetry
