Ya Veena Vara Danda Manditakara
Ya Shveta Padmaasana
Ya Brahma Achyutaha Shankara Prabrithibhih
Devai Sadaa Poojitha

Saraswati Vandana Meaning
Oh Goddess Sarasvathi,
who is fair as a jasmine flower,
the moon or a snow flake,
who is dressed in white
and whose hands are adorned by veena,
who is seated in a white lotus,
to whom Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara pray,
please protect us.
The Saraswathi Veena of Smt.Sridhar

Flute
Flute by pRiyA
I did this in 1998. This picture was one of my first assignments ever as an illustrator.
I was looking through these old pictures yesterday and when I came across this one I remember thinking, " If Chumma Draw had the word 'Flute' I could use this". And then this morning in my inbox there was 'Flute' at Chumma Draw!
203_Flute
Today's word is Flute.
"Of all the wind instruments, the flute can do the most things the most easily. A fine performer on a flute can dash up a scale and down again so quickly that our ears cannot separate the notes. A flutist can skip and jump from note to note so lightly that the music reminds us of the quickness of a rabbit or of a gazelle. He can swoop and turn and trill the notes until we think that we are hearing a bird. Musicians say that a flute can do anything!"
~ Jean Craig, in The Woodwinds (Lerner Publications, 1963)
Happy Drawing :)

crane
The crane is the most popular bird in Chinese history and is a symbol of longevity and auspiciousness. In ancient China the crane was regarded as having a long life span and one Chinese legend says that a immortal rode a crane to heaven. The crane also represents a lasting soaring spirit, health, and happiness. In ancient China crane images were embroidered on robes of first-rank officials so the crane was held in high esteem and known as a first-rank bird. Cranes are usually painted with other symbols of longevity such as pine trees and peaches. Cranes with peony flowers symbolize longevity and prosperity. Cranes and lotus symbolize longevity and purity.
