Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Vani Hiranyagarbhabhyam Namah We bow to Vani and Hiranyagarbha, Saraswati and Brahma, who create the cosmic existence Vani is sound, music, voice. She is the mother of sound. First, there was the word... A popular bhajan starts as Vani, Saraswati, Vakdevi. Vak is speech. She is the Goddess of Speech. Hiranyagarbha is one of the names of Lord Brahma. Hiranyagarbha is literally the Golden Womb. According to one story of creation, after the last dissolution of the Universe, there was darkness, nothingness. From this nothingness the self-manifested being arose. He created the waters first and then placed a seed in those waters. And the seed became a Golden Womb - Hiranyagarbha. The Hiranyagarbha Sukta from the Rig Veda declares, " Oh Golden Womb, You are the One Eternal Existence from which all beings are born on the earth have come forth. You always bear the Earth and all that rises upon it. To which God shall we offer our knowledge and attention. We will see this verse on page 104 of the Cosmic Puja book.
