Goddess Saraswati uses a swan as her vehicle which has a sensitive beak that enables it to distinguish milk from a mixture of milk and water and symbolizes the power to discriminate between good and bad, valuable and useless, told Prof. Goel.
To swim across the waters of life, the use of swan as vehicle by Saraswati demonstrates the critical need for a strong power of judgment, and that we must apply knowledge with discrimination for the good of self and society, mentioned Prof Goel.
We must understand Gita-based needonomics for needo-lifestyle taken from logo of LIC of India ‘Yogakshemam Vahamyaham’ based on sloka no 22 of Ch. 9 of Gita as common sense approach is ethical, nonviolent, environmental friendly and spiritual in nature , explained Prof Goel.
We can develop critical thinking and wisdom by becoming deserving children of Goddess Saraswati and must note that where Saraswati resides, Goddess Lakshmi soon arrives, told Prof Goel.
To script a new narrative of education based on Indian Knowledge System, we must become street SMART (simple, moral, action-oriented, responsive, and transparent), explained Prof. Goel.
