Saraswati is the deity that is associated with the sacral chakra. Once again there are hundreds of parallels that associate these two and we will only go over a few of them.
The sacral chakra is where all creation begins. Each and every human began their journey here on earth within a sacral chakra. The sacral chakra is located just below the navel.
Saraswati teaches us the vibration of the beginnings of creation, this doesn’t mean that we will learn a philosophical version of how this all started, ( but you might), it means that you start to recognize the singular vibration of creation. This is an extremely valuable skill for everyone to have.
What it means to you is that as you become familiar with recognizing the singular vibration of creation, you can start seeing where in your life you have been using this skill in an unmindful way. What you will notice is that you have been building the foundations of your reality with the building blocks of your perception. The root provides the platform, the sacral provides the interface with creation.
The stories of saraswati are varied, with a substantial decline in her ‘status’ after a period of history when the saraswati river dried up, coincidently there were many sects breaking off from the vedic sect, forming new traditions around the same time in history. I suspect that due to the creative genius that is the energy of saraswati, the leaders of the religious community were threatened by a congregation that understood they could create for themselves and downplayed her role to musical, artistic, studies and linguistic type talents.
Where Ganesha shows us to create without obstacles, Saraswati just shows us to create, there is no judgement of obstacles, it is still a creation. There is no objectivity within the vibration of creation, it just is. There is no discrimination or discretion within the vibration of creation, it just is. There is no desire in this vibration, it is just a simple vibration of creation that hums in the background of the entire universe, some people call it the ‘void of creation’.
The passion, desire, discrimination and objectivity within our creations are all separate form the singular vibration that is creation. Saraswati shows us through a myriad of stories that this is so, generally showing how emotions such as anger, fury and revenge can spur on the vibration of creation as well as emotions of passion, thirst for knowledge and love. The stories are designed to show us that we should keep our thoughts pure so our creations are pure.
It is also quite telling that the chakra that saraswati is associated with also has every one of the elemental Sanskrit letters corresponding to it as well, with the exception of the earth element. We spoke about how the earth element is the foundation for all the other elements, now we are going to talk about the other 3 elements and how they correspond with the sacral.
For creation to occur, something must spur it into motion (water) we must have a desire ( fire), we must have a thought ( air) and we must be able to push them (fire) into the flowing motion (water) of creation.
The actions of 3 elements are required for any creation to be put into motion, through thought or action.
Saraswati shows us that the vibration of creation is a fundamental frequency found within all of us, human, plant and animal alike. This frequency is consistent whether we are focusing on it or not. We are creating in every moment of our lives, whether we are focusing on it or not. Saraswati also shows us that the story does matter.
There are many stories about saraswati, one that is quite entertaining is how her husband brahma was wanting her by his side he was ready to conduct a ‘yagya’ and the wife must be present. Saraswati was off creating something (life perhaps?) and Brahma became angry and took the first peasant he found to be his wife , her name was guyatri. When saraswati found out she cursed all of those present, those curses have steered reality for 700 generations! The story was intended to show us that creation has no bounds or discretion, and the story has been lived out by 700 generations, so we truly see there are no bounds or discretions in creation.
