Goddess Saraswati means the one who possess saraswati or one who possess all type of arts, science, knowledge, music, speech and serenity. After Lord Brahma created the cosmic universe, he realized that it lacked forms, concepts and orders. He felt lost and needed assistance to organize the universe. He decided to create very embodiment of knowledge to help him with this herculean task and from his mouth emerged the Goddess Saraswati. She gave him direction on how to create order in the cosmos as we know it. The sun, the moon, and the stars were born, oceans emerged and seasons changed. The joyous Lord Brahma then named Goddess Saraswati- Vagdevi the Goddess of speech and sound. Thus Lord Brahma became the creator of the world with Goddess Saraswati as his source of wisdom. Her four arms denotes four directions. Saraswati Goddess is everywhere, they represent the four element of human substance: - 1. The Mind (manas) - she holds the Jap mala in her hand. 2. The Intellect (buddhi) - The vedas in her hand. 3. The Consciousness (chitta) – the second resonator of the Veena. 4. The Ego (ahankara) – the hand that plays veena.
