divine wisdom

kalai vaalgha, malar vaalgha, kalaimalarin thiruvalgha, pulavar thiru naavi porunthum tamil valgha, kanni tamilodu kalantha natchami valgha, annai kalaivani vanna peyar valgha valghave.. -PORTRAY OF SARASWATHY IN TAMIL-
(hail performing arts, hail blooming lotus, all hail the Lotus of All Arts, hail the One who being always illustrated by poets, hail the Divine which represent the virgin Tamil, all hail motther of all arts for eternity..

practise of polytheism in certain religion (hinduism to be spesific) can be confusing and tedious. however, i could not reason myself why it is that way. yeah, maybe its true but thinking from the positive side of it, maybe there are hidden messages for us to ponder behing the idea of polytheism.

hinduism is nothing more than simple symbolism of almighty's power. the thing that people use to conclude about hinduism is, there is no concept of 'oneness'. but the truth is, there is! the universe and the divine is being captured in most illustrous way to leave an sense of ambuigity to its worshippers. hinduism uses the concept of feminine power (which dominates the world) as the superior and 'motherly' to all aspects.

one fine example in hinduism is the goddess of education and arts. S.A.R.A.S.W.A.T.H.Y. i would say, She is one of the perfect personification of wonder and divinity of arts and education.


  • WHITE SAREE - purity of education and arts, putting them in imaginably in high position
  • VEENAI - showing that education and arts are 'easy to travel' as music do.
  • SWAN(hamsa) - symbol of intelligence and beauty
  • PEACOCK - symbol of beauty and pride
  • WHITE LOTUS - notify that education and arts are worth 'worshipped' and respected.
  • BEADS & BOOKLET - self devotion to education
