Nice poem Vyapti. With a wistful longing for that union, a yearning for the association, a complete surrender, a demand with love, a discourse with heart, a vast picture of human cravings for eternal bonding. Vyapti, this poem you've written with your heart, I loved it sooo much. smiley31

I am just done watching Lucifer where the devil is a romantic charmer with a heart of gold and God is the combination of Omrish Puri from mr. India + ddlj. And I absolutely loved it.

So if I now come here and claim that I care about whether they are following scriptures, that would be a hypocrisy generated by my lying ass.


So let's skip the pretense and admit that I am loving whatever is happening 😊. Arjun-draupadi pre date and RK nightly phone calls and everything. I just skip the UgrAyan scenes and rest are fine by me.

Suta , here is the interesting story of Saraswathi and Brahma!

Saraswati is omnipresent in so many countries apart from India. She is worshipped and venerated in countries like China, Japan, Burma, and Thailand. Followers of the Jain religion also worship Saraswati.

From the Vedas to the Epics to the Puranas, the character of Saraswati morphs significantly, but she consistently comes across as an independent goddess. Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom and knowledge, is a unique character. The story of Brahma and Saraswati is really interesting.

Unlike the other goddesses eager for matrimony and motherhood, Saraswati is singularly aloof. Her white complexion and attire ΜΆ almost window-like one, indicate her asceticism, transcendence, and purity. There is, however, one oddity in her otherwise stated story – her purported relationship with Brahma!! That story is beyond moral perceptions and ethical standards!!

She was yet an abstraction, like most Vedic deities. A more solid personification of her character came about in the Mahabharata, where she was said to be Brahma’s daughter. The Matsya Purana, for example, tells us how she became his wife. And this is where the story of our interest starts…the story of Brahma and Saraswati, his obsession and her objection!!

Brahma the creator at one point, he split his body into two – one of which became the goddess Shatarupa, she of a hundred forms. She was verily named as Saraswati! As she, the most beautiful of all of Brahma’s creations, circumambulated around her father, Brahma was smitten. Brahma’s blatant infatuation was hard to miss and his mind-born sons objected to their father’s inappropriate gaze towards their β€˜sister’! 😊

But there was no stopping Brahma and he exclaimed over and over again how beautiful she was. Brahma became completely infatuated with her unable to stop his eyes from following her, he sprouted four heads (and eyes) in four directions, and then a fifth on top, when Saraswati sprang upward to evade his attention. He also tried to show his lordship on her, while she tried to escape from his stares and gaze. At this point Rudra-Shiva the ascetic god was so disgusted by Brahma’s behaviour, that he lopped off the later’s fifth head. This served as a punishment to Brahma for showing attachment to his creation!! This is why we see Brahma with his four heads only.

In another version, Brahma’s punishment came by way of him losing all his powers of tapas, due to his desire for his daughter. Now powerless to create, he had to appoint his sons to take forth the act of creation. Brahma was now free to β€˜own’ Saraswati. He made love to her, and from their union, the progenitors of mankind were born. Brahma and Saraswati became the Cosmic Couple. They lived together for 100 years in a secluded cave and apparently Manu was their son.

In another version of the Brahma Saraswati story, however, we are told that Saraswati was not as complicit as Brahma had hoped. She ran from him and assumed the female forms of many creatures but Brahma was not to be spurned and followed her across the universe with the corresponding male forms of those creatures. They were eventually β€˜married’ and their union gave rise to all manner of species.

From a sociological perspective, the idea of incest is one of the most universal taboos, and yet it exists as a foundational myth in most cultures. It has to do with the problem of the first man and first woman in any creation story. Being born from the same source, the first couple is naturally also siblings and having no other choice, The Brahma and Saraswati relationship did not receive the sanctity that is expected of all divine relationships and Brahma’s incestuous pursuit did not fetch him a good place in mythology.

Expecting a thought-provoking comment from Storm and Krishna now on this otherwise immoral Divine story. Here Saraswathi was a reluctant wife to her creator.
