Saraswati

She is the white-clad muse of the flowing river, the one who gave speech to the silent and rhythm to the chaotic void. With a lute in her hands and a swan at her feet, she represents the purity of knowledge that remains unstained by the mud of the world. Why do we seek gold when the wealth of the mind is the only treasure that cannot be stolen? She is the patron of the artists and the scholars, the silent vibration of the Om that underpins all of creation.
