There is a note on Kalpana, saying the term refers to Saraswati, but there is nothing in this article which mentions Kalpana. Could somebody who is knowledgeable please either add something to this article explaining the connection between the two names, or (if there is none), delete the link on the Kalpana dab page?

I don't see a mention of Saraswati Puja in West Bengal and Nepal during Vasant Panchami. Those are supposed to be two of the biggest celebrations of Saraswati Pujan in India. ~a — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.4.32 ( talk) 18:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

The Romani people (Roma) of Europe are of NW Indian decent and left India shortly after 1000ad. Some scholars believe the Roma are decendants of the Rajputs and were forced out of India after defeat against Islamic invasion.
The language they speak comes from a heavily Sanskrit worded Rajasthani dialect that has Panjabi & Persian additional words in it. After leaving India they were soon travelled to Anatolia where they stayed for some time and absorbed some Greek and Armenian words from the natives of that land. They then from there moved into Europe when Islamic Turks added Turkey to thier empire.
Romani converts to Catholicism have got their own Saint named Sara. Sara is connected to water and in the festival they carry statues of her down to the water. It is believed that the once Hindu believing Roma have adapted some of their beliefs to fit in with European beliefs.
[The Romani people (Roma) are not to be confused with the Roman people of Italy or the country by the name of Romania as these people are nothing to do with them] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.34.227.166 ( talk) 22:21, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
This page alternates between Saraswati and Sarasvati. The French page uses only the latter. Is it that Sarasvati is Sanskrit while Saraswati is some current language? Or, less likely, is it that this page has contributions from the Germans, who would use the W? Most likely, people looking this up would be interested in the Sanskrit form for consistency in comparative mythology, not the current form so as to be converted to Hinduism. I myself came across the name in " Cowboy Bebop". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.69.127.105 ( talk) 21:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, yes, she did have a husband. Her husband was Brahma. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.35.168 ( talk) 16:28, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
The article immediately begins with "Saraswati is the first of three great goddesses." The three goddesses are in no way "great" in any other aspect than that they are the consorts of the male Devas. If any goddess is great it is Devi, of whom all other goddesses are aspects. I suggest recognizing these three consorts as a triad, rather than as "great goddesses."
Some Hindus believe in a Godess Trinity which is just like the Trimurti only that the 3 members of the Trimurti (Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Brahman) are replaced by their 3 wives (Godess Durga, Godess Lakshmi, and Godess Saraswati). Armyrifle 01:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Saraswati is the daughter of Brahma not his wife. Saraswati's children are the Vedas. So actually Brahma is her father. -- Saraswathigirl ( talk) 09:21, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
«In India there is a river called Saraswati, which flows from the west end of the Aravalli Hills into the east end of the Rann of Kutch. [citation needed]» As Saraswati River notes, there are several referents, one of which has no article, Sarsuti River — and this appears to be the river indicated above. The Sarsuti is now a tributary of the Luni River, which runs in the Sarsuti's lower course, does rise in the western Aravalli Range, and does empty into the northeastern corner of the Rann of Kutch. The Sarsuti itself comes from Pushkar Lake, also near the Aravalli Range, so (like the the Luni) it fits that description — if you designate the confluent rivers as the Sarsuti rather than the Luni. See these linked articles. — Sizzle Flambé ( ☎/ ✍) 05:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

The Trinity are Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva. Their respective consorts are Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati. Some ignorant people advance the illogical and factually incorrect argument that if Brahma is the "Creator", then all beings created must be children and so Saraswati must be a daughter to Brahma. The fact is that the consorts of the Trinity are simply manifestations of the Supreme Goddess. Just as the Trinity can manifest themselves further into various forms as the occasion demands, so can their consorts, but that's a different story altogether! — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheOnlyEmperor ( talk • contribs) 07:15, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
The same goddess was Slavic goddes Zorica, Zora or Danica, which meant "dawn" or "star" or "lightened" (day; Dana). Sveta is "light, holy" or "world". Her holy symbol was a white swan.

there are too much mythology story in Hindu Dharma.out of these saraswati is one.recently in Times of India there are news there is no any Indian University in top 200 university in world.Do you know why Because SAraswati is specialist Goddess in India.
But Most important is what is Saraswati's Role in Education... then why should she is Goddess of Knowledge or Education.
This article recently mentioned on three occasions and without references that Saraswati is a goddess of "science." We should find some good sources to demonstrate this before writing it here. - Darouet ( talk) 23:22, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Not really, because the mention of he as a goddess of science is a pretty common interpretation of her role as governing all things associated with learning and knowledge. But if you insist I could point you to http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/hmvp/hmvp17.htm#fn_100 where the author WJ Wilkins, an author on Hinduism assesses her as a goddess of wisdom and science. You could find it in any scholarly work but again it's trivial because she is a goddess of science and that is pretty much ubiquitous among mythologists. Grathmy ( talk) 18:36, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

This etymology section, added in 2014, is a complete original research invention. Sarasvatī means she who possesses (vatī) pools (sara/saras). The current made up etymology is an attempted reading by a westerner, backed up with incorrect references to the wrong words in a sanskrit dictionary. No reputable source translates the 'sva' in 'Saraswati' as 'sva' meaning self, because that does not explain the 'T'. 'Sara' cannot mean essence either because it is spelled wrong (short a vs. long ā). If this were the correct etymology her name would be Sāraswayi. 64.183.168.138 ( talk) 18:57, 10 April 2018 (UTC) (Wasn't logged in) Iṣṭa Devatā ( talk) 19:11, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Phonetically, 'v' is more accurate than 'w' for these Indian names. Bibek Debroy systematically uses 'v' in all the Sanskrit names like Sarasvati, Vishvakarma, etc. The other popular goddess Parvati is never spelt as 'Parwati'. So let's make the usage of 'v' instead of 'w' standard in all Sanskrit words this sound appears in.
It will have initial pushback but it's a matter of habit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LWTBP ( talk • contribs) 10:53, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

@ Aadrit28 I've reverted the edits because the sources that were added failed verification, other information lacked citations and was written in a POV such as these:
This article relies heavily on Wisdomlib.org - I see multiple uses of that site as a reference. Here is that source's 'About' page - it is a single person's project, and a self-publiched source, therefore inherently unreliable. The author, Gabe Hiemstra, is not (as far as I have been able to establish) an academic, nor has his work been published in reliable sources, so we cannot treat this as an EXPERTSPS. The source should be replaced by better sources where possible; any material supported by it that cannot be supported by any other source ought to be removed.

This etymology section, added in 2014, is a complete original research invention. Sarasvatī means she who possesses (vatī) pools (sara/saras). The current made up etymology is an attempted reading by a westerner, backed up with incorrect references to the wrong words in a sanskrit dictionary. No reputable source translates the 'sva' in 'Saraswati' as 'sva' meaning self, because that does not explain the 'T'. 'Sara' cannot mean essence either because it is spelled wrong (short a vs. long ā). If this were the correct etymology her name would be Sāraswayi. 64.183.168.138 ( talk) 18:57, 10 April 2018 (UTC) (Wasn't logged in) Iṣṭa Devatā ( talk) 19:11, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Isn't it Saraswati, not Sarasvati?

@ Redtigerxyz and MRRaja001: I have seen many scholars and sources using Sarasvati, instead of Saraswati. The former spelling is more accurate and other goddesses such Devi, Parvati, etc. use V. Should we change the name???? .245CMR.• 👥 📜 07:42, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
No consensus to move. After much-extended time for discussion, there is no consensus for a move at this time, and more clearly a consensus against the proposed move. BD2412 T 18:02, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
Saraswati → Sarasvati – "V" is more accurate spelling of the Sanskrit word. Also most RS use V and this is supported on the article's talk page. .245CMR.• 👥 📜 09:48, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

One of the photos on this page has a caption claiming that Saraswati is playing a biwa; that's a Japanese instrument — what's meant here is the veena, specifically the Saraswati veena. I don't know how to edit captions, unfortunately. -- 87.115.226.248 ( talk) 18:33, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
Shiva and Saraswati are siblings, because they were created by Kali at the same time I think.
Shiva is other way is Saraswati's father, and Saraswati has siblings by the name of, ganus, kati, Lakshmi, etc. So edit it please Llxvender ( talk) 07:47, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Please change : 'She is a part of the tridevi of Saraswati, along with Lakshmi and Parvati.' to 'She is one of the tridevi, along with Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Parvati.' S.llywiki;- ( talk) 20:37, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
Phonetically, 'v' is more accurate than 'w' for these Indian names. Bibek Debroy systematically uses 'v' in all the Sanskrit names like Sarasvati, Vishvakarma, etc. The other popular goddess Parvati is never spelt as 'Parwati'. So let's make the usage of 'v' instead of 'w' standard in all Sanskrit words this sound appears in.
It will have initial pushback but it's a matter of habit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LWTBP ( talk • contribs) 10:53, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

I was going to add a wikilink to this article, but was unable to do so because it appears to be locked from editing. Please fix this ridiculous situation! 173.88.246.138 ( talk) 19:47, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
@ Aadrit28 I've reverted the edits because the sources that were added failed verification, other information lacked citations and was written in a POV such as these:
This article relies heavily on Wisdomlib.org - I see multiple uses of that site as a reference. Here is that source's 'About' page - it is a single person's project, and a self-publiched source, therefore inherently unreliable. The author, Gabe Hiemstra, is not (as far as I have been able to establish) an academic, nor has his work been published in reliable sources, so we cannot treat this as an EXPERTSPS. The source should be replaced by better sources where possible; any material supported by it that cannot be supported by any other source ought to be removed.

Three of the most significant forms of Brahman are Brahma , Shiva and Vishnu . These three gods are key aspects of Brahman, the Ultimate Reality . The word 'trimurti' means 'three forms'. In the trimurti, Brahma is the creator, Vishnu is the preserver and Shiva is the destroyer. have never in my life been told that Sarasvati is part of the Trimurti, she is daughter of Brahma please correct 2001:5A8:43CF:DA00:84D3:9CC0:270F:6187 ( talk) 10:11, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
