Saraswati is the Goddess of Learning and Wisdom.
She is Sophia, and the White Goddess of Robert Graves.
She is the Buddhist Manjusri.
Her invisible form is intuition and insight and the elusive creative genius.
She is the feminine aspect of Divinity – the same divinity that has been banished from many patriarchal systems of thought.
And she is much more than that too – for Saraswati is, like the
Tao, the Indefinable.

Saraswati is the Mother who includes all and excludes none.
She is the Mother who loves all
her children and rejects none.

The Desert of Man can be approached at many levels, and each reader will find something of their own in it.
Here are a few aspects of the work worth mentioning:
° the legend of seemingly ordinary people receiving sudden
inspiration
° the importance of intuition
° the role of the poet and the artist
° the feminine aspect of the Divine.
