ORDER OUT OF CHAOS
In the beginning, surveying the formless chaos of inchoate matter and energy, Brahma felt confused and at sea. He had no idea how to fashion something out of that disorganized swirl. In desperation, he turned into himself and asked, “How can I create an ordered cosmos in the midst of this chaos?”
From within him, the Goddess spoke. “Through knowledge,” she said. “And from knowledge will come creative action.”
With that, she emerged from Brahma’s mouth as the power of the creative word. She rode a snow-white swan—the hamsa—and carried a veena, a kind of lute. Fair-skinned, glowing with moonlike radiance, throbbing with power, her being vibrated with the mantra “Om.” That sound, carried on Brahma’s breath, would eventually manifest as all the worlds.
Saraswati’s grace, her Shakti, kindled Brahma’s creative wisdom—as well as his passion to make universes.
From Saraswati’s stringed instrument, sacred mantras took form in cosmic space. Saraswati showed Brahma how to shape these sounds into energies that could become space, fiery suns and planets, the earth with its landmasses and seas, and the heavenly and earthly creatures who dwell in all the spheres of the cosmos. Ecstatic, he called her Vagdevi, the goddess of speech and sound.
