Sarasvati, astride her swan, suggests a dimension of human existence that rises above the physical, natural world. Her realm is one of beauty, perfection, and grace; it is a realm created by artistic inspiration, philosophic insight, and accumulated knowledge, which have enabled human beings to so refine their natural world that they have been able to transcend its limitations.

Sarasvati | Sarasvati está asociada con el habla, la poesía, la música y la cultura, y es conocida como la Diosa del Aprendizaje y la Patrona de las Artes y la Música. Es reverenciada tanto por hindúes como por budistas. Para los budistas es la consorte de Manjushri, el bodhisattva de la sabiduría. Los budistas apelan a Manjushri pidiendo inteligencia, sabiduría y maestría sobre la enseñanza, poder de exposición, elocuencia y memoria. Él trabaja con el Señor Maitreya. Los dos son representados a veces con el Buda Gautama, formando un trío en el que Manjushri representa el aspecto de la sabiduría y Maitreya el aspecto de la compasión de la enseñanza budista. Como Sarasvati, Manjushri trae el don de la iluminación. | ||
