Valmiki\n\nfrom wiki -\nThe Ramayan is ascribed to a single author, Valmiki. Its exact date of creation is unknown, and is estimated to lie between the 4th and 2nd century B.C.E. "The Cultural Heritage of India", Vol. IV, "The Religions", The Ramakrishna Mission, Institute of Culture, says: "The first and the last Books of the Ramayan are later additions. The bulk, consisting of Books II--VI, represents Rama as an ideal hero. In Books I and VII, however Rama is made an avatara or incarnation of Vishnu, and the epic poem is transformed into a Vaishnav text. The reference to the Greeks, Parthians, and Sakas show that these Books cannot be earlier than the second century B.C.E..."

Saraswati, also invoked as Vagadevi, Vagisvari or Bhariti etc., is worshipped in India as the goddess of learning and revered as one of the sacred streams. It is for such reasons that she is also identified as the celestial river of heaven. She represents music and all arts and culture. She is hence seen in her iconography playing on a lyre with two of her four hands. In her other hands she carries a rosary and a book. She rides a swan, known for its purity and sacred origin. Ganesha, the lord of learning and Karttikeya, Parvati's other son, known for devotion, intelligence and service, usually form part of Saraswati iconography. She has been painted here as one emerging from the ocean and rising into sky. \n\n\nSaraswati\n\n \nSaraswati \n\nSaraswati, goddess of knowledge \nGod of learning, the arts, and rivers \nDevanagari: सरस्वती \nSanskrit Transliteration: Sarasvatī \nAffiliation: Devi \nConsort: Brahmā \nMount: swan, peacock \n \nFor the Vedic river, see Saraswati River. \nSaraswati (Sanskrit सरस्वती sarasvatī) is the first of the three great goddesses of Hinduism, the other two being Lakshmi and Durga. Saraswati is the consort of Lord Brahmā, the Creator.\n\nContents [hide]\n1 Origins and context in Hinduism \n2 Saraswati as a river \n3 Other associations \n4 Appearance \n5 Festivals for Saraswati \n6 Saraswati in other cultures \n7 Other meanings \n8 See also \n9 External links \n10 References \n \n\n\n[edit] Origins and context in Hinduism\nSaraswati is a goddess worshipped in the Vedic religion. She is the goddess of learning and the arts (e.g., music). She is also worshipped as the goddess of thoughts of truth and forgiveness. She is mentioned in the Rig Veda as well as in Puranic texts. It is likely that She originated as a river Goddess because her name in Sanskrit means "she who has lakes or pools". She is also referred to as Shonapunya, a Sanskrit word meaning ‘one purified of blood’.\n\nIn Vedanta, she is considered to be the feminine energy and knowledge aspect--shakti--of Brahman. As in ancient times, she is the goddess of knowledge, speech, poetry and music. Vedantins believe that only through the acquisition of knowledge does one reach the final path to moksha, or liberation from reincarnation. Only by worshiping Saraswati and continuously seeking true knowledge with one's complete attention can one attain the enlightenment necessary for moksha.\n\n\n[edit] Saraswati as a river\nMain article: Sarasvati River\nThe Rigvedic hymns dedicated to Saraswati mention her as a mighty river with creative, purifying, and nourishing properties. The best theory regarding the Vedic Sarasvati River states that it was formed by the present headwaters of the Yamuna River. In ancient times, after they had left the Himalayan foothills, the waters of the Yamuna turned west instead of east at Paonta Saheb. Next, the river flowed southwest across the Punjab and Haryana regions along the course of the modern Ghaggar-Hakra River in a pathway roughly parallel to the smaller Indus River to its west. The Sutlej flowed further east than it does today, and joined the Sarasvati somewhere near Bahawalpur. Eventually, the wide river empties into the Rann of Kutch, which at the time was a more integral part of the Arabian Sea.\n\nAlong the course of the Sarasvati, the Harappan Civilization developed. The earliest known examples of writing in India have been found in the ruined cities that line the now dry riverbed of the ancient waterway. Some have postulated that the goddess Saraswati gained her role as personified communication and the giver of knowledge due to the role of the Sarasvati River in the development of written language in ancient India.\n\nBetween 2000 B.C. and 1700 B.C., seismic activity caused the waters of the river's two main sources to change course. The Sutlej moved course westward and became a tributary of the Indus River. The Yamuna moved course eastward and bec

True. Dhruva who was son Suniti prayed very hard after his mother death. Ultimately God Vishnu pleased by his prayer blessed him that he will be a star and will guide everyone.\n\nScene Vi\n\n\n(Dhruva is in deep meditation. His whole being is meditating on the lotus-feet of Lord Vishnu. His inner being is surcharged with supernatural power. Enter Lord Vishnu with his discus, Sudarshan Chakra, his mace and his conch, a diadem on his brow. He comes with his infinite glory and stands in front of Dhruva, his dearest and greatest devotee. He places his hands on Dhruva's devoted head. Dhruva opens his eyes with supreme astonishment. Immediately he touches the feet of Lord Vishnu.) \n\n193\nLORD VISHNU: My dearest, my fondest child Dhruva, I am the object of your prayer, I am the object of your meditation. I am most pleased with you; I am most proud of you. I have come here to fulfil your desires and your aspirations. \n\n194\nDHRUVA: My Lord, if you are really pleased with me, then you know what I want. I want only to be all the time at your lotus-feet. I am your child; I want to serve you. \n\n195\n(Lord Vishnu touches Dhruva's forehead with his conch. Immediately Dhruva receives inner illumination. All the supernal qualities, the infinite divine Light, Peace and Bliss of lord Vishnu enter into him.) \n\n196\nLORD VISHNU: Dhruva, my Dhruva, ask me for any boon. Immediately I shall grant it. \n\n197\nDHRUVA: O my Lord, my eternal Lord, you have given me everything I wanted. You have given me all that I wanted and beyond, far beyond my imagination's flight. What more do I need? \n\n198\nVISHNU: No, Dhruva, I want to give you something more. I want to give you a particular place of your own. Yours will be a divine station far above the earthly world. You will become one with the real Dhruva: Dhruva Tara, the pole-star. You will sustain all the stars and other planets in their course. You will guide the aspiring, seeking, struggling world. You will show the earth the world of Light and Delight. You will be the guiding light, the pole-star. It is with you that the earth-consciousness will enter into my life of infinite Peace, Light and Bliss. Dhruva, I bring your mother back into your heart. It was she who advised you to pray to God; it was she who inspired you to come into the forest and meditate. Today all her sufferings have come to an end. In you your mother will have her supreme glory and satisfaction. Also, I bring before you the seven sages who inspired you, who helped you, who taught you how to pray and meditate. Dhruva, you have far surpassed them now. They will be all joy, all pride for you because they want someone on earth to be supremely divine, supremely unconditional, supremely great. They want someone to be my most perfect instrument, and they will now see in you my supreme manifestation. \n\n199\n(Enter Suniti who, seeing her dearest son, is overwhelmed with delight. She touches Lord Vishnu's feet, then sits beside her son with enormous joy and pride, shedding tears of gratitude to Lord Vishnu.) \n\n200\nSUNITI: O Lord Vishnu, you have heard my son's prayers. You are our own, our very own. Each breath of ours, each heartbeat of ours is for you. \n\n201\n(Vishnu offers her his brightest smile. Then the seven sages enter. Seeing Dhruva, they are overwhelmed with joy, delight and pride. One by one they touch the feet of Lord Vishnu and Dhruva.) \n\n202\nALL THE SAGES: Dhruva, long long before you were born we were praying to Lord Vishnu to see his lotus-feet. It is you who have brought down into the world before us his presence, our cherished Goal. It is because of you that we are seeing the chosen object of our adoration today. It is your prayer and meditation that has brought our Lord Vishnu here. If not for you, centuries would have passed by and we would not have seen the lotus-feet of our Lord Supreme. It is because of you that today we can kiss the golden feet of our Lord Vishnu, the eternal Lord

One according to the Vedic texts.  One Supreme God who's original name is Krishna He has unlimited names and forms. Otherwise how can we call Him unlimited.  There are dimi-gods which are Gods superintendants or servants in the material world.  They wanted positions of control so Krishna is so Kind He gives them these Jobs even though He could do everything Himself.  One for Rain  Indra one for Sun Surya, one for Moon Chandra,  There are so many, millions and millions because there millions of planets.  And they are all occupied by demi-gods and angels of sorts.  One God Many servants.   The Hindus tend to put them all in one box and say they are all God.  But this is a misunderstanding.  As many Christians sects there are so the Hindu's They misconstrue who's who.  go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com for universal truth, Vedic culture and actual Hindu understanding.

The truth (Ultimate Reality) is one, Sages call it by different names - there is one God, (Supreme Reality) perceived differently.\n\nSupreme Reality - Brahman has two aspects, transcendent (impersonal) and immanent (personal).\n\nIn the impersonal aspect Brahman is without attributes (nirguna Brahman).\n\nIn personal aspect (saguna Brahman) the God is creator, preserver and controller of the universe.\n\nSaguna Brahman is worshipped in male and female form.\n\nHindu Deities represent various perceptions of a one God.\n\nThe entire universe is basically a representation of the Supreme Soul, and He is present in each and every thing, human and animal, animate and non-animate.\n\nHindus believe in monotheistic polytheism, rather than polytheism.\n\n\nMain God's are Brahma (creator), Vishnu (preserver) and Shiva (destroyer). The are also called as the Hindu Trinity or Trimurti.\n\nThey represent\n\n    * Three Faces of Divine\n    * Three Cosmic Functions of the Supreme Lord\n    * Creation + Preservation+ Dissolution\n    * Generator + Operator + Destroyer = GOD

Ramanujacharya (1017-1137) emphasized devotion to Lord Vishnu in Vaikunth as Lakshmi-Narayan. His doctrine known as vishishth-advait (special non-dual), encompassed the best of both advait and dvait thoughts. The mature devotee acquires divine qualities and is thus in-tune with God, and then offers devotion to God who is distinct, supreme, and eternally possesses a form. His school is also called the Shri Vaishnav sampraday (sect).

"Sri Maha Pratyangira Devi is a powerful Devi who is said to have destroyed Sarabheswara's arrogance. Sarabheswara is a ugra avatar of Siva.
