Saraswati Slokam/సరస్వతి శ్లోకం



In Hinduism Saraswati (Sanskrit: सरस्वती Telugu సరస్వతి ) is the goddess of knowledge, music and the arts. She is the consort of Brahma.Saraswati is considered to be the "mother of the Vedas".
The name Saraswati came from "saras" (meaning "flow") and "wati" (meaning "a woman"). 
So, Saraswati is symbol of knowledge; its flow (or growth) is like a river and knowledge is supremely alluring, like a beautiful woman.
She is dressed in white (sign of purity) and rides on a white goose (swan). The swan is known for its peculiar characteristic of being capable of separating water from milk, indicating that we should possess discrimination in separating the bad from the good. 
The seat being a lotus or peacock implies that the teacher is well-established in the subjective experience of truth. When sitting on a peacock she reminds us that wisdom suppresses ego.
