Day 9 - The Gift

Knowledge is a gift and Saraswati as the goddess of arts, music and wisdom makes that available to us.

There is a story of how the Saraswati once was a free flowing river of purity and many rituals would take place at her shore. She was asked by the Gods to take fire to the ocean. To accomplish this task she gathered up her waters and formed a body. The fire, Agni is a symbolic and ritualistic link to the gods. By delivering fire to the ocean of conscious, the fire was extinguished. From this event, by removing the sacrificial fire and replacing it with a sacrifice of the self through obtaining knowledge, Saraswati became the goddess of knowledge and learning.

I was working on a study guide, a crib sheet that would have much of the information that we have been learning on one sheet. I decided to make a copy available to everyone, my gift. I hope that you find the information accurate and helpful.

What I really wanted to accomplish in todays' journey, was to thank everyone that was been apart of this program. For creating a space that I hope we all feel free and comfortable to grow from this experience. Take a moment, give a gift to someone that has touched your life, even if it is the gift of "thank you."
