Saras means lake in saṃskṛta, a pure lake such as Lake Mānasarovar. Lake Mānasarovar is the origin for the Ganges, the Ganges represents knowledge, knowledge flows from the tongue. “Who is possessing a lake, she is Sarasvatī, not an external lake, not a muddy lake”. Sarasvatī possesses huge knowledge and allows it to flow to right personalities, and for that there is the tongue.
Sarasvatī is honored and worshiped today in India, this is not just meant for India, it is universal, as her energy is part and parcel of prakṛiti.
Sarasvatī is the energy that resides in the tongue, the most powerful and meaningful tool for imparting knowledge, though not the only tool. To truly be received this knowledge must be received through listening with the whole body, the whole system.
The tongue has a dual role; for taste and to speak.
“What we taste, according that we speak”,
Ācārya eloquently shared, along with,
“Don’t speak – if someone asks then speak”, while being aware of their intention.
