A little book on Mother Mahasaraswati

The Mother aspect of the Supreme is described most beautifully by Sri Chinmoy and Sri Aurobindo.

Sri Chinmoy says:

The Mother Divine is the Divine in its feminine aspect. Very
often we say that it is easier to please our mother than our
father in the physical world. This truth is also applicable
in the spiritual world. True, the Mother and the Father do
everything in consultation with each other. But it is easier
for an aspirant to please the Mother Divine or an aspect of
the Mother Divine than to please Purusha, the masculine
aspect of the Lord Supreme.

There are four major aspects of the Mother Divine. From one
point of view, just as we cannot separate our right arm from
our left arm, we cannot separate the different aspects of the
Mother Divine, or separate one goddess from another. But from
another point of view, we can say that these different
aspects of the transcendental Mother perform different
functions.

And Sri Aurobindo says:

Four great Aspects of the Mother, four of her leading Powers
and Personalities have stood in front in her guidance of this
Universe and in her dealings with the terrestrial play.

One is her personality of calm wideness and comprehending
wisdom and tranquil benignity, inexhaustible compassion and
sovereign and surpassing majesty and all ruling greatness.

Another embodies her power of splendid strength and
irresistible passion, her warrior mood, her overwhelming
will, her impetuous swiftness and world-shaking force.

A third is vivid and sweet and wonderful with her deep
secret of beauty and harmony and fine rhythm, her intricate
and subtle opulence, her compelling attraction and her
captivating grace.

The fourth is equipped with her close and profound capacity
of intimate knowledge and careful flawless work and quiet and
exact perfection in all things.

Wisdom, Strength, Harmony, Perfection are the several
attributes and it is these powers that they bring with them
to the world, manifest in a human disguise in their Vibhuthis
and shall found in the divine degree of their ascension in
those who can open their earthly nature to the direct and
living influence of the Mother.

To the four we give the four great names, Maheshwari,
Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati.

This is a little book about the divine Mother Mahasaraswati.
