One thing is certain that such a river existed before the Ganga was brought down from the high Himalayas, down to the plains of northern India by the efforts of Daleep - the’father of Bhagirath - who spent a life-time in the Himalayas in his efforts to find the easiest way and method to bring this river down to ‘Aryavarta’ through the huge valleys and mountains of the Himalayan range. Since there is no account in the Vedas as to its location, one can only go alongwith one or the other theory of those that are doing research. The sites of Mohanjadaro and Harappa, which seem to be two of the earliest Aryan settlements, seem to have been on the banks of Saraswati according to some researcher, but they could very well be on the banks of the ‘Sindhu’ which was equally huge but did not have the same curative properties. Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom, was embodied as a most beautiful woman in white with all the purity that could be bestowed on a perfect woman. The two could not be differentiated and both were given the name Saraswati which was named first is not known and in the romanticism of the Hindu thought it does not matter. They built permanent hamlets and cities on the banks of Saraswati which to them became a ‘Goddess’ in the style of their philosophy and since it gave them life and sustenance, they thought of her equal to the Creator and soon she became the ‘Power of the Creator’ and Saraswati - the river became synonymous with the consort of Brahma and this river whose waters they believed gave them the power to think deeply as they conjured up the wisdom of the Vedas on its banks.

On settling down they found that they could use their vast intellect to code an harmonious co-existence between man and nature instead of perpetually running in search of food and shelter. It was a most inviting place for the Aryans to settle down and leave their nomadic life-style. It was for the first time that they found a place with plenty of fruits, herbs and eatable roots growing around the banks of the mighty river. One doesn’t really know where this ancient river flowed, but it was the biggest river of the time when the Aryans came into the land which they called ‘Aryavarta’.
Great ‘Nahans’ are held on auspicious days even today when millions take their bath at Kurukshetra, Pushkar and other places. Some historians and researchers believe that the upheaval broke the smooth passage of Saraswati and several large ponds, lakes and streams came up at different places whatever the underground river could find an opening on the surface of the earth.īoth Punjab and Rajasthan claim such reservoirs of water which are held as extremely holy and bathing in it takes one straight to heaven. She went underground.Īnyway Saraswati was then supposed to have again appeared and joined the Ganga and Jamuna at Allahabad where the holy ‘Sangam’ is still recognised - people believe they can still see the golden waters of Saraswati coming out and joining the Ganga and jamuna and the three in their Sangam are known as Triveni. The noise disturbed Vyasji’s concentration and he just ordered her to vanish. In the Bhagwat Puran, Ved Vyas seems to have got angry with her for making too much noise in her happiness on hearing that Vyasji was going to write the ‘Bhagwat Puran’.
