She – The Saraswati – 3 Poem by C. P. Sharma

Dressed in white
She rides white swan
Sans jewels with sober colours
Symbolizes purity and discrimination
Rosary in one hand, scriptures in another
With her other two hands she plays
Redolent music of love and life
On stringed instrument Veena
Her four hands represent
Four human aspects
Mind, intellect,
Alertness and ego
I bow to her
The goddess of knowledge
The mother of Vedas
All wisdom and art
From her flows
Her perpetual stream of
Serene and clear consciousness
Irradiates rays that dispel darkness
Remove chaos and confusion
Transcend the cravings of the flesh
Imparting sublimity to Nature
Predicting doom of the world
On unscrupulous use of Nature
I bow to her
