How Goddess Saraswathy Came Into Existence
For creating his identical half, he started meditating, and Saraswathy was born — who is also known as Savitri, Brahmani, Gayatri, and Shataroopa.
He became obsessed with the beauty of his creation. He could not take his eyes away from her. Saraswathy did pradakshina, parikrama of Brahma. As she went to his right side, back, and left side, heads sprung up on these sides as well — four heads — he became Chaturmukha.
But Brahma’s obsession with Saraswathy’s beauty started reaching the border of lust, and this lustful obsession became his fifth head facing up, which Bhagawan Sri Rudra clipped with his nails later.
In the meantime, Brahma had sent away his Manasa Putras with the task of creation. Out of the union of Brahma and Saraswathy was born Manu. Again, out of their union were born seven more children — Passion, Mind, Tapas, Intelligence, Greatness, Directions, and Agitation.
Manu observed severe tapas, and he was given a wife by the name Ananti. Where did she come from? Who was her father, who was her mother? Only Brahma, his ten Manasa Putras, Saraswathy, and Manu are there so far. Where did Ananti come from?
These doubts come up because we are habituated to looking at everything only with the human perception. We believe that whatever we know is all that exists. Whatever we know only exists. Whatever we have learned and understood exists.
Asexual reproduction or multiplication has always been there — in bacteria, in certain plants, in fungus. In 1996, when scientists became successful in artificial cloning and produced Dolly the sheep, suddenly this came to limelight — oh, asexual reproduction is possible, you don’t always need a male and a female to reproduce.
We want to know everything — how this works, how that works, why, how, when, why not. Minds are full of questions. What we have got as a result of all these questions is hardly anything compared to what is out there. This is what science does day in and day out — finding answers to all these questions.
And in all these years, we have only partially understood a tiny part of it. Still, everywhere we want to apply the scientific thinking process. We take pride in saying that I have a scientific bend of mind. I only subscribe to what is logical.
Science has not even covered 1 percent of the index page of the book of knowledge, which has thousands and thousands of pages in it, and we want science to be our only tool, we want science to be our only method, we want science to be our gospel.
Our obsession with science is so much that now we are trying to prove that whatever is there in the Vedas and scriptures, they are all scientific. We are talking about science behind wearing tilaka, we are talking about temples located on certain latitudes and longitudes that are energy lines.
Take India’s radioactive map — you will find that all the Jyotirlingas are highly radioactive. Abhisheka of Shivalinga is performed to keep this radioactivity under control. You should not cross the teertha nali of Shiva Linga because water flowing out is radioactive. Because of this, only BARC is designed like a Shiva Linga — says the message.
Even someone with a little bit of knowledge of science will laugh at this. He will think that Hindu religion means stupidity, because he doesn’t have exposure to the real religion. He is seeing only this as the religion. This is a planned move.
