Goddess Saraswati is the Goddess of learning. Her blessings
are vital for everyone who wishes to learn something – it may be schooling,
university education, or any other form of learning. This divine Goddess
removes all obstacles to learning and grants her devotees with knowledge. She
is a wonderful source of strength for students who seek to learn. In fact,
Saraswati is the divinity of both material knowledge and spiritual wisdom.
Therefore, she also blesses those who wish to traverse a spiritual path seeking
to discover the truth of life.
Goddess Saraswati is clad in a beautiful simple white saree,
and is seen riding a white swan, or sitting on a white lotus. Because white
symbolizes peace and purity, this Goddess depicts all traits and attributes of
goodness and calmness. She carries four important elements in her four hands –
the Veena, the Vedas, a bead rosary, and a water pot. All these elements depict
harmony, knowledge, spirituality, and the reservoir of life respectively.
Goddess Saraswati is worshipped with great fanfare and
enthusiasm on Vasant Panchami, which is considered to be her birthday. But,
otherwise all her devotees and those who wish to seek her blessings for
learning and spirituality worship her throughout the year. A lot is achieved by
worshipping her if we do so with complete devotion. We must worship her with
utmost concentration and intense yearning, and have the spiritual knowledge to
acquire the art or education that we wish to learn.
Those willing to go the spiritual path can acquire the 18
main vidyas and upa-vidyas by worshipping Goddess Saraswati. All the knowledge
required to lead the worldly aspects in life can also be attained. The Vedas she holds in her hands shows that
she has the power to grant her devotees with the potency of imbibing even the
most complicated knowledge.
Goddess Saraswati is also considered to be the Mother of Vaani or speech. She is always calm and
can bless her devotees with pleasant speech and actions so that one does not
hurt others’ feelings by speaking or doing wrong. The devotee who prays
devotionally to the Goddess starts paying minute attention to every action he
performs and every word he speaks, and starts improving upon any mistakes he
makes. In this way, he slowly and steadily eliminates all his wrong doings and
reaches a stage of purity.
So, for all those who have a positive learning attitude and
possess the qualities of intense yearning, obtaining guidance, perseverance,
patience, concentration, righteousness, and humbleness, you are sure to attain
the blessings of Goddess Saraswati by praying to her. And if all these are not
what you have imbibed yet, it is very important that you pray to her so that
she can bless you with all of this to help you become a better person.
Saraswati is also known as Goddess Gayatri, who is
considered an important part of the trinity of goddesses, along with Goddess
Parvati and Goddess Lakshmi. So, you can also have a Gayatri Havan done to gain
spiritual energy and enlightenment of greater wisdom. You will need
professional MakeMyPuja Pandits to help you with performing this Havan in the
most appropriate and profitable manner, by following all the rituals
accurately.
