The Swan isn't dying yet : Comments

By Peter Sellick, published 13/1/2016

My criticism of the rationalists, the humanists and the secularists is their desire for a society in which the sacred is no more.

Dear Pogi,

Is there even a question that Goddess Saraswati is an object?
Having that many attributes as to easily fill a large Wikipedia page and much more, of course she is - an object of worship!

Saraswati is not only meant to represent all gods and goddesses - but to represent God Himself for us of weak mind who find it too difficult and abstract to worship Him directly.

Attributes, including personality-attributes may be long-lived, but are not forever: they were not there before one's body is conceived nor after it perishes.

Note the etymology of 'person': from Latin persona = ‘actor's mask, character in a play'. Once we drop that mask of a human, not only the physical attributes but the personality-attributes as well, all fall off.
