Mother Saraswati

Intro [Gentle, devotional music begins softly] "Namaste and welcome. Today, we bow before the divine presence of Mata Saraswati - the embodiment of knowledge, wisdom, music, and all learning.Known as Vidya Devi, the Goddess of Knowledge, Mother Saraswati illuminates the path of education and enlightenment for millions of devotees. Her very name means 'the flowing one' - like the sacred river that flows with pure wisdom and creativity.Adorned in pristine white, symbolizing purity and truth, she sits gracefully upon a white lotus, representing the blossoming of knowledge. Her four divine hands hold the veena - the source of all music and arts, sacred scriptures representing learning, a lotus symbolizing wisdom, and prayer beads for spiritual discipline.Her faithful companion, the white swan, represents the ability to separate truth from falsehood - a quality every seeker of knowledge must possess.Students, teachers, artists, and scholars invoke her blessings before beginning their pursuits. She is the divine mother who transforms ignorance into understanding, silence into melody, and darkness into the light of wisdom.Whether you call her Saraswati, Bharati, or Vani - she remains the eternal source of all knowledge and creativity in the universe.May Mother Saraswati bless us all with true wisdom and understanding." "Om Saraswati Namaha"
