In the earliest Hindu texts, the Vedas, Sarasvati is a river goddess. The Vedas say that Sarasvati was the greatest river in India. For years the Sarasvati was believed to have been a myth, but an archaeological survey in 1985 found an ancient riverbed that matched the description of the Sarasvati. It was a great river, four to six miles wide for much of its length. It flowed westward from the Himalayas into the sea. Frawley believes that the Sarasvati was the main site of habitation at the time the Vedas were composed thousands of years ago.<ref>David Frawley, ''Gods, Sages and Kings: Vedic Secrets of Ancient Civilization'' (Salt Lake City, Utah:  Passage Press, 1991), pp. 72–76, 354–57 nn. d–g.</ref>
En los textos hindúes más antiguos, los Vedas, Sarasvati es una diosa fluvial. Los Vedas dicen que Sarasvati era el mayor río de la India. Durante años se creyó que el río Sarasvati era un mito, pero una investigación arqueológica de 1985 halló un antiguo lecho que encajaba con la descripción del Sarasvati. Era un gran río, entre cuatro y seis millas de ancho durante gran parte de su curso. Fluía hacia el oeste, desde los Himalayas hacia el mar.


Frawley says that the Sarasvati, “like the later Ganges, symbolizes the Sushumna, the river of spiritual knowledge, the current that flows [through the spinal canal] through the seven [[chakra]]s of the subtle body. She is not only the Milky Way or river of Heaven, inwardly she is the river of true consciousness that flows into this world.”<ref>Ibid., p. 219.</ref>
