Saraswati Mantra

Its exam season! Discussing goddess Saraswati seems fitting for many students right now. Good look studying and on exams everyone!

Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music and all the creative arts. Saraswati is called the Mother of the Veda's and the repository of Brahma's creative intelligence. For most Indian artists, all art and all new art traditions originate with Saraswati. In order to create the world and produce the human ace, Brahma made a goddess out of himself. One half was woman and the other half was a man. Brahma called the woman Gayatri, but she also became known by many other names such as Saraswati. 

Dressed in white, Saraswati holds a mala and a palmleaf scroll, indicating knowledge. Students worship Saraswati to perform well in exams. This mantra of Sarawasti can be recited daily to improve memory, power, and concentration in studies: 

Saraswati Namasthubhyam

Varade Kamarupini

Vidhyarambam Karishyami

Siddhir Bavathume Sadha 

Please note that this is only one depiction of Goddess Saraswati, and that HSA is not forcing any kind of opinions. Hinduism is  broad religion, and we are open to new information from everyone :)
