Basant
Pancami-13 February-2005
Megha
Saraswati Sadhana
It
is said that Devi Saraswati is help for student, by
her grace one can achieve any target in studies. Basant
Panchmi is most aspicious day for her puja/worship.
This
day one can get her complete blessing by her vedic
puja. As per veda given puja is one of the best puja
of devi saraswati. Early
in the morning get up and have a bath. Wear yellow
or saffron robes. Then in a clean room sit with your
family members. Before yourself place a picture of
Goddess Saraswati. Then concentrating on her holy
form chant the following Mantra.
|
"Shuklaam
Brahmvichaar Saar Paramaadyaam Jagadvyaapineem Veennaa Pushtak
Dhaarinneebhamay Daam Jaad Yaapandhkaaraapahaam.
Haste Sfatik Maalikaam Vidhateem Paramaasane Sansthitaam
Vande Taam Parameshwareem Bhagwateem Buddhi Pradaam Shaaradaam."
i.e. I pray to Bhagwati Saraswati who has a fair complexion,
who is the first and foremost divine energy, who is present
in the world in the form of knowledge, who wields a Veenaa,
Vedas, Sfatik rosary in her hands and one of whose hands
is raised in blessing. She is capable of removing ignorance
and bestowing intelligence.
Then
in a plate draw a Saraswati Yantra with a silver straw or
wire. If not possible use a copper wire. For ink use Ashtgandh
and draw the Yantra. Ashtgandh is a mixture of eight fragrant
articles and it is a divine Sadhana article.
|
It
is said that the fragrance of Ashtgandh used to continuously
emanate from the form of Lord Krishna.
Then
on the Yantra thus inscribed place a Saraswati Yantra
in the form of an amulet. If trying the ritual for
your children then you should have a Yantra for each
child. Make a mark of Ashtgandh on the Yantra and
offer yellow flowers.
|
|
"Om
Ayeim Saraswatyei Ayeim Namah".
After
that offer prayers to the picture of Goddess Saraswati.
Offer flowers and make marks of Ashtgandh on the foreheads
of the children. Put a garland of yellow flowers around
each child's neck.
Then
with a silver or copper wire (take care it is not sharp
ended) write on the tongue of the each child with Ashtgandh.
Also do the same to your wife and yourself. Wash the wire
before using it each time.
Vasant
Panchami is the best day for writing the Saraswati Beej
Mantra on the tongue of your child and making him or her
wear a Saraswati Yantra in a silk thread. If not possible
on this day then do it on a Monday.
It
is the greatest fortune to accomplish this ritual pertaining
to Goddess Saraswati and wear the Saraswati Yantra on the
day of Vasant Panchami. Wear it yourself and make your children
wear the Yantra too.
