Maa Saraswati

In Hinduism, Saraswati is known as the Goddess of Knowledge, Music, Art, Wisdom and Learning. Maa Saraswati is the daughter of Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga. It is believed that Saraswati endows human beings with the powers of speech, wisdom and learning. She represents the free flow of wisdom and conscious state of mind. She is a part of Trinity (Tridevi) Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati.

Meaning of Saraswati

Saraswati, sometimes spelled as Sarasvati, is basically derived from the Sanskrit word. It is comprised of two words i.e. “Sara” and “Sva” which means “essence” and “oneself” respectively. Combined these two words give the knowledge about “essence of oneself” and accordingly, the word “Saraswati” means “one who leads to essence of self-knowledge”.
