Saraswati
Saraswati (Sanskrit: सरस्वती, Sarasvatī) is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom and learning. She is a part of the trinity of Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati. All the three forms help the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva to create, maintain and regenerate-recycle the Universe respectively.
The earliest known mention of Saraswati as a goddess is in Rigveda. She has remained significant as a goddess from the Vedic period through modern times of Hindu traditions. Some Hindus celebrate the festival of Vasant Panchami (the fifth day of spring) in her honour, and mark the day by helping young children learn how to write alphabets on that day. The Goddess is also revered by believers of the Jain religion of west and central India, as well as some Buddhist sects.
Saraswati who is revered as a goddess of knowledge, music and arts is also found outside Nepal and India, such as in Japan, Vietnam, Bali (Indonesia) and Myanmar.
Etymology
Saraswati, sometimes spelled Sarasvati, is a Sanskrit fusion word of Sara (सार) which means essence, and Sva (स्व) which means one self, the fused word meaning "essence of one self", and Saraswati meaning "one who leads to essence of self knowledge". It is also a Sanskrit composite word of surasa-vati (सुरस-वति) which means "one with plenty of water".
Saraswati (sculpture)
Saraswati is an outdoor sculpture of the Hindu goddess of the same name, installed outside the Embassy of Indonesia in Embassy Row, Washington, D.C., in the United States. The work was created by multiple Balinese sculptors and installed in 2013.

Saraswati (magazine)
Saraswati was the first Hindi monthly magazine of India. Founded in 1900, by Chintamani Ghosh, the proprietor of Indian Press, in Allahabad, its success under the editorship of littérateur Mahavir Prasad Dwivedi (1903-1920), led to flourishing of modern Hindi prose and poetry especially in Khariboli dialect. It became the most influential periodical in the Hindi literature during the first two decades of the 20th century.
History
Based in Georgetown, Allahabad, Ghosh founded Indian Press in 1884, mainly to published educational books, though gradually shifted to publishing general interest books. However, Ghosh didn't have much experience in publishing literary works. Thus in late 1899, he wrote to Nagari Pracharini Sabha in Varanasi, which worked for promotion of Devnagari script, seeking help with editor and writers for founding a literary Hindi magazine. Eventually, first issue of Saraswati was published on January 1, 1900.
Indian Press was also the earliest promoters and publisher of Rabindranath Tagore's work, including Geetanjali, whose rights he held till 1922 before transferring it to Viswa Bharati University. Dwivedi, the doyen of modern Hindi literature, remained its editors from 1903 to 1920, and provided a platform for upcoming writers in Hindi, where many writers of repute, including Premchand and Maithili Sharan Gupt got published. Through the magazine, he not only gave a new direction to Hindi literature by bringing in his social reformist agenda, but also exerted his lasting influence of the formation of style and sensibility during this twenty year period of Hindi literature. Today it is known as "Dwivedi Yuga" (Age of Dwivedi) after him.

u underwägs luegsch schnöu i schpiegu u libsch vor em schpiegu schta
dis gsicht u dini arme - di buuch u dini bei
si übersäit mit blaue pünkt u grüene schtreiffe wienes oschterei
schteu dr vor du fingsch das vilech nume määssig attraktiiv
d'farbe si drnäbe u ds muschter isch priiv
u du schteisch sofort under d'dusche
u seiffsch di ii u fasch a ribe u schrubgbe u chratze bis es we tuet
aber d'pünkt u d'schtreiffe blibe
u jitz finsch es plötzlech nümm so luschtig
luegsch öb öppis i dr zitig schteit
e chemie-unfau i dr gägend oder e viirus wo umegeit
aber nüt vo däm - sich aues gllich wie gäng
du luegschuse u gseesch lüt mit bleiche gsichter a dr tramschtazion
aber blau-grüeni hett's nid
u jitz lütisch mau dim doktor a u fragsch ne um si rat
u är seit: junge maa - probieret's vilech mau bim psychiater
u du fluechisch u hänksch uf u loufsch im zimmer uf u ab
u geisch uf d'chnöi u bätisch
aber d'farbe gö nid ab
schteu dr vor 's vergeit e wuche so u du bisch nieme under d'lüt
u masch nidemau me fernseeluege u gänderet het sech nüt
schteu dr vor du bisch alleini u chasch di säuber nümme gsee
u dänksch nume no a eis u hesch überhoupt ke hoffnig me
du geisch zum schaft - nimmsch dis gweer
du hesch dr's lang gnue überleit u schteisc a ds fänschter
tuesch es uf u wirfsch e letschte blick uf d'wäut
vorusse faare d'ching uf ihrne minivelo hei
eis luegt ufe u rüeft: lueg emau dä papagei
u jitz macht's klick i dim chopf
e schautschteu wo düregheit
u du schiessisch uf die ching u uf jede wo süsch no umeschteit
u när faat dr krimi aa
u du wirsch abgfüert wine gängschter
toti ching - polizischte - d'lüt a de offne fänschter
u när im outo uf em rücksitz - du hocksch da u seisch kes wort
u luegsch graduus u gsesch im rückschpiegu dis gsicht
u di blaue pünkt u di grüene schtreiffe si furt
