Vasant Panchami

Om Aim Saraswatyai Namaha ॐ ऐं सरस्वत्यै नमः

Prayer in Sanskrit
Yaa Kundendu tushaara haaradhavalaa, Yaa shubhravastraavritha|
Yaa veenavara dandamanditakara, Yaa shwetha padmaasana||
Yaa brahmaachyutha shankara prabhritibhir Devaisadaa Vanditha|
Saa Maam Paatu Saraswatee Bhagavatee Nihshesha jaadyaapahaa||

Translation:

May Goddess Saraswati, radiant and fair like the moonlight of jasmine blooms, adorned with a pure white garland resembling frosty dew drops, and dressed in dazzling white attire; whose graceful arm cradles the veena, and who is seated upon a pristine white lotus; revered and surrounded by the divine beings—may she bless and protect me. May she dispel all my lethargy, sluggishness, and ignorance completely.

About Mata Saraswati

Saraswati is the Goddess of learning, knowledge, and wisdom. The Sanskrit word sara means "essence," and swa means "self," making Saraswati's name signify "the essence of the self." In Sanatan Dharma, she is regarded as the divine consort of Lord Brahma, the Creator of the universe. As knowledge is essential for creation, Saraswati embodies the creative power of Brahma. She is revered by students, teachers, scholars, and scientists—anyone seeking knowledge and wisdom.

Goddess Saraswati is typically depicted with four arms, though some portrayals show her with two. She is often shown dressed in a white sari, seated on a white lotus, symbolizing purity and supreme knowledge. In her rear hands, she holds a book and a rosary, while her front hands play a lute (veena). Her posture often shows her right leg gently resting against her left, and she is accompanied by a swan, her vehicle, with a peacock gazing at her nearby. Each element in her representation holds deep spiritual significance:

Maha saraswati

The Lotus and White Sari:

The lotus symbolizes the Supreme Reality and supreme knowledge. Saraswati’s seated position on the lotus signifies her rootedness in Supreme Reality, while her white attire represents purity and the embodiment of pure knowledge.

• Four Arms:

The four arms signify her omnipresence and omnipotence. The front two arms represent her activity in the physical realm, and the rear two symbolize her presence in the spiritual realm. Each hand represents an aspect of the inner personality: the mind (manas), intellect (buddhi), conditioned consciousness (chitta), and ego (ahankara).

• The Book and Rosary:

The book in her rear left hand symbolizes knowledge used with compassion and wisdom for the betterment of humanity. The rosary in her rear right hand represents meditation and contemplation, leading to liberation (moksha). It also signifies that true knowledge, when imbued with love and devotion, dissolves the ego.

• The Veena:

The musical instrument she plays with her front hands (mind and intellect) conveys the importance of harmonizing one’s thoughts and actions. This harmony allows an individual to use knowledge for the welfare of all.

• The Swan:

Saraswati’s swan, known for its ability to separate milk from water, symbolizes the power of discernment—distinguishing right from wrong and truth from falsehood. The use of the swan as her vehicle emphasizes that knowledge must be applied wisely and selflessly for the good of all.

• The Peacock:

While the peacock, with its unpredictable and moody nature, waits by Saraswati’s side, she chooses the swan instead. This signifies the importance of overcoming fear, indecision, and fickleness to attain true wisdom.

Saraswati’s imagery inspires seekers to pursue knowledge with purity, wisdom, and a commitment to uplift humanity.

ॐ प्रणवो धनु: शरो ह्यात्मा ब्रह्म तल्लक्ष्यमुच्यते । अप्रमत्तेन वेद्धव्यं शरवत्तन्मयो भवेत् ।। #मुण्डकोपनिषद

PRANAVO DHANU SHARO HYAATMAA BRAHM TALLAKSHYA MUCHYATE.
APRAMATTEN VEDADHAVYAM SHARAVATTANMAYO BHAVET. Mundakopanisad

The Sacred Word (AUM) is likened to a bow, with the soul as the arrow and Brahman as the target. When one focuses unwaveringly, allowing their attention to remain steady, they will pierce the target. Just as an arrow becomes one with the target once it has struck, the soul merges with Brahman, achieving unity.

Gita Jayanti:

Honoring the Birth of the Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita is regarded as one of the most important and influential Hindu scriptures, revered for its philosophical, practical, political, psychological, and spiritual wisdom. Gita Jayanti, or simply Gita Jayanti, commemorates the birth of this sacred scripture.According to the traditional Hindu calendar, Gita Jayanti falls on Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha in the Margashirsha month, which this year is on December 11, 2024. Gita Jayanti marks the day when Lord Krishna imparted his timeless philosophical teachings—immortalized in the epic Mahabharata—to Prince Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Facing a moral dilemma and refusing to fight against his cousins, the Kauravas, Arjuna was enlightened by Lord Krishna, who revealed profound truths about life, the philosophy of Karma(action), and Dharma (duty). This divine discourse gave rise to one of the world’s most celebrated scriptures: the Bhagavad Gita.
The Bhagavad Gita transcends its historical context and serves as a timeless guide for living with purpose and clarity. It offers wisdom not only for spiritual growth but also for practical applications in modern life, including decision-making, business ethics, and effective communication. Its greatest strength lies in its ability to inspire introspection, empower individuals to make just decisions, and encourage a refreshed perspective on life—without compromising one’s individuality. For millennia, the Gita has addressed humanity’s challenges and provided solutions to everyday problems.
