T'Lara: Difference between revisions

The members of the the Cult of Saraswati are generally pious in their devotion to the goddess, and adhere to strict rituals and ceremonies as a part of their religious practices. While most Betazoid religions follow a common theme, share a common background, and have many common rituals, followers of Saraswati have many practices which are not found in other cults. Some of those include the Da'lyn, the joining of heart and mind, (similar to Vulcan bonding); the adoption of others into clans as spiritual brothers and sisters; rituals of the sacred fire, performed when a child is born into the family, and sacred communion of souls. The followers of Saraswati have an important, and ancient, charge: to preserve the telepathic history of the planet, to spread the stories of Ancient Betazed, and to be the keepers of the planet's most ancient mysteries. The lineage and ancient relics are passed down through the mother to the eldest daughter or son. One such relic, the Sacred Scrolls of Betazed, are held by T'Lara's mother. These scrolls contain ancient stories of Saraswati and her good works, texts for ancient telepathic rituals, and other mysteries that have remained just that ... mysteries ... for eons.
