About Chaitanya : PRINT

This rangoli called Chaitanya is drawn based on the Principle of Goddess Saraswathi.So doing this rangoli on the days dedicated to Goddess Saraswathi will attract and transmit the Deity's Princilple to greater extent. This rangoli is taken from a book called "Sattvik Rangoli"

1. Make a dough by using All purpose flour, Sesame, Oregano (I used 5 packets) Salt (as per your taste, also you need less salt as oregano already has salt in it) and mix well. 2. Prepare dough just like we do it for rotis (Pic 1) 3. Take a small ball sized dough and roll it like we do it for rotis (Pic 2)

Got to buy this book on my next visit. It is indeed inspiring to learn about the different names, and their significance.

A good pattern,
even though the photograph seems to be distorted.
However, I am a bit confused about its relation to sarasvati. The rangOli contains two-colour svAstikAs. I am not sure about how this is connected to either sAtvika bhAva or sarasvatI. I am writing this to know about the logic in this. I humbly inform that I have no other intention in raising this topic.

Thanks Mr.Rao for your comments. I actually dont know much about this principle or how the rangoli is related to Sathivik.Infact I even tried to google search the contents but I couldnt get any clear information. I got this book from the Hindu spritual fair held in Chennai last year. So I thought I would share a few rangoli and the explanation given in that book with our Ikolam friends.

Sumathi, enge kaanaama poyitteenga?
Your writtings about Saraswathi is new.
When We went to Bhadrinaath, on our way back we had a Dharshan of Saraswathi river's starting place.She is seen there only for a short strech and after that she goes underground.The peculiar green colour of Her is still very vivid in my eyes.

RajamaJi I missed your birthday.Anyway belated birthday wishes to you. I met Rukmini's daughter and told her to convey her mother about our contact. I was held up with some guests at home so I only had time to check my mails. I hope to be in touch regularly here after.
Have you visited the Sarawathi temple at Kuthanur near Thiruvarur. It is quite famous with the Godess Saraswathi sitting with her Veena. Students throng this place before the board exams and pray with a pen along with the regular Archanai thatu.
