No one in this world can attain knowledge without the grace of Mother Goddess Saraswati. It is a myth that only children who are studying should worship Goddess Saraswati. We all need the knowledge to perform our day-to-day activities properly and thus all of us need the blessings of Mother Goddess Saraswati in life.
Presented below is Saraswati Strora which was composed by none other than Sage Agastya. Chanting this Strota daily can transform even the dumbest human being into a great scholar.
Who can deny the power of knowledge in the current era? In ancient days, a man with great strength might be considered a great person in the world. However, the current era is all about the brain and intelligence. Even in ancient days, there are several examples where an intelligent man did wonders. One such great example is Guru Chanakya who with his brilliance was able to demolish the mighty Nanda dynasty. The current time values mental strength, expression of one’s ideas and intelligence far more than at any other time in the human history. Several cutting-edge gadgets and technologies invented in the current era prove the above point.
Also, one can’t deny the necessity of oratory skills nowadays. If you can’t explain your it is worthless ideas, no matter how brilliant your idea is. In today’s world, multiple people work on an idea and if a person is unable to express the idea to the team in a crystal clear way, there is a very low probability that the idea will get accepted and eventually this dejection will lead to an utter distraction in life. It is Goddess Saraswati who provides the oratory skills too and worshiping Her can make a person a great orator. Every musician, pray to Goddess Saraswati to hone their oratory and artistic skills. So, any person, who wishes to create a career in this field must get the blessings of Mother Goddess.
Provided below is a very special Saraswati Strota which was composed by the great sage Agastya. A person who daily chants this Strota in the morning and evening is blessed with several boons by the Goddess. If one can’t chant the Strota twice, even chanting the Strota once in the morning can bring a lot of positivity in the life of the Sadhak.
Procedure:
One just needs Saraswati Yantra and Saraswati picture for this procedure. Best day to start this procedure is Basant Panchami however if you can’t start this procedure on this day, one can start this procedure from any Monday. The Sadhak should get up early in the morning and take a bath. Get into fresh white clothes and sit on a white mat facing north.
Take a wooden plank and cover it with fresh white cloth. Place a picture of revered Gurudev and worship Him with vermillion, rice grains, flowers etc. Light a ghee lamp and an incense stick. Then chant one round of Guru Mantra and pray to Gurudev for success in Sadhana. Next place the picture of Goddess Saraswati and make a mark with saffron on Her.
Now take a copper plate and place it in front of Gurudev’s picture. Now draw an eight-petal lotus flower with saffron on it. Worship Goddess Saraswati and the Yantra with white flowers, rice grains etc.
Now, pray to the Goddess to bestow Her blessings upon you and provide intelligence, sharp mind and oratory skills. Now chant the below strota with full devotion. If you find it difficult to speak out the hymns in Sanskrit, one can even read the translation and still get the same benefit.
