Faces of the Goddess
BENZAITEN is the Japanese version of the Hindu goddess SARASVATI or SARASWATI. There is also a mighty river in ancient India of this name. Some believe there is a connection between the goddess and the river. She was the goddess of words, speech, eloquence, and music. In Japan, she became a protector-deity, at first of the state and then of people; and, eventually, one of the Seven Gods of Fortune.
