Goddess Saraswathi


Goddess Saraswathi is the goddess of knowledge, music and the arts. Saraswati's children are the Vedas, which are the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism. She is generally shown to have four arms, which represent the four aspects of human personality in learning: mind, intellect, alertness, and ego. Alternatively, these four arms also represent the 4 Vedas- Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda & Atharvana Veda, the primary sacred books for Hindus.
