Sarasvati's Gift

Sarasvati the feminine force worshipped as the goddess of learning is a household name yet we barely know much about the goddess. She is known as a lost river and seen as a singular goddess never as part of a couple such as Shiva-Parvati or Lakshmi-Narayan. In Sarasvati''s Gift Kavita Kane brings to light Sarasvati''s story-the goddess of art music and knowledge-told in the voices of nameless celestials powerful gods and lesser mortals. The book explores her relationship with her Creator Brahma and their unusual marriage-a union of fiercely independent minds and the most non-conforming unconventional of the Triumvirate couples. As these peripheral figures and silent catalysts take centre stage we get a glimpse of an extraordinary woman and her remarkable story obscured and buried under myths and legends.
