Saraswati is the consort of Lord Brahma and is the Goddess of wisdom and learning. She is the one who gives the essence (sara) of our own self (swa). She is considered as the personification of all knowledge. Her presence is elegant and she is depicted as wearing a pure white sari and seated on a white lotus representing purity and brilliance.Sri Saraswati carries a Veena which represents mastery over the physical organs and actions where the veena is symbolic of life and strings are symbolic of feelings. The Book she carries is symbolic of Knowledge.(photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/durgadevotee/3978210378/">simon_ram</a>)</p> </blockquote></p>http://paramahansa.tumblr.com/post/16589628796http://paramahansa.tumblr.com/post/16589628796Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:34:29 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr8oceWZZj1qasjdso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I have this same Ganesh in my room</p>http://paramahansa.tumblr.com/post/16540086802http://paramahansa.tumblr.com/post/16540086802Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:02:43 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lydfuxq9FY1qmul4qo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://paramahansa.tumblr.com/post/16483322698http://paramahansa.tumblr.com/post/16483322698Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:11:10 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpa5u1NqOV1qzb5pco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://paramahansa.tumblr.com/post/16483317874http://paramahansa.tumblr.com/post/16483317874Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:11:05 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxr5db7dBJ1r9cvi7o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://krishnakanha.tumblr.com/post/15785223483/guess-who-radha-asked-playfully-as-she-covered">krishnakanha</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>“Guess who?” Radha asked playfully as she covered Krishna’s eyes.</p> <p>“Hmmm, I don’t know it could be any beautiful gopi,”</p> <p>Radha swatted him.</p> <p>“Owww!
