| I am still in the process of writing this page. For the time being here are some general links for learning in the context of adult and higher education (HE). Saraswati, the Hindu goddess of learning, is the image at the top. Named after the (lost) Vedic river, Saraswati, she represents connections, fluidity and flow in water, speech, thought, music, knowledge and all aspects of life. She is the goddess of power and intelligence, knowledge, music and the creative arts. She is wisdom, fortune, intelligence, brilliance, contentment and splendour.
Some of my students might like to know that the Vilma Vashi temple in Dilwara (in India) is dedicated to Saraswati and students can go and worship her to perform well in examinations!
