So you deny all connection to this Saraswati bija idea then? ;-)
Is Saraswati married to Santa Clause?
No, just certain TMers.
For those who find belief in gods and goddesses untenable, there's no
real need to cling to such stories. In terms of modern psychology and
neuroscience it would be easier to say that certain sounds have
certain effects on the brain, which have the potential, over time, to
awaken certain propensities in the brain and then for those changes
to be integrated into the human personality. That's why I like Swami
Rama's approach: it was practical and honest, without a need for
magical thinking.
