Another fond memory of my Father’s advice

The emblematic representation of values in the Indian Pantheon of Gods and Goddesses show Goddess Laxmi as one presiding over material wealth and Goddess Saraswathi over Knowledge.

He once said “In the journey called life, when one attempts to follow only Laxmi, she runs faster and avoids you. But if you run behind Saraswathi, Laxmi will turn and follow you”.

Pursue knowledge, and wealth (in many forms – not necessarily material) follows.

Greetings on the occasion of Vijayadashami, where one rededicates themselves to the quest for knowledge, for awareness
