Saraswati Puja Mantra

  

या कुन्देन्दु तुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डित करा या श्वेत्पद्मासना ।
या ब्रह्माच्युतशंकरप्रभृतिभिर्देवै: सदा वन्दिता
सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती नि:शेषजाड्यापहा ॥

“Yaa Kundendu Tushaara Haaradhavalaa, Yaa Shubhravastraavritha
Yaa Veenavara Dandamanditakara, Yaa Shwetha Padmaasana
Yaa Brahmaachyutha Shankara Prabhritibhir Devaisadaa Vanditha
Saa Maam Paatu Saraswati Bhagavatee Nihshesha Jaadyaapaha”

Meaning: Goddess Saraswati is fair and beautiful like the jasmine-colored moon. Her white garland resembles the icy dew drops. She is decked in pure white attire. A white lotus serves as the throne of Maa Saraswati, on whose arm rests Veena. We pray Maha Saraswati, who is surrounded and respected by the Gods to bestow her blessings on us. May the goddess remove our lethargy and brighten our life with light of knowledge.
