Maa Saraswati Bhajans
Saraswati maa is the Godess of lore & knowledge.We all should offer prayer to her daily as we all need the knowledge to live life at its fullest. It is the knowledge that differentiates the human being from the animals. There is a saying in Sanskrit like
"Esham na vidyam na tapo na daanam
gyanam na sheelam na guno na dharmam
te mrityulokena bhumi bhar bhuta
manushyaroopena mrigascharanti"
meaning -
Those who possess neither lore, meditation, liberalism nor knowledge, politeness, virtues or righteousness those humans are burden of earth in this world. They are like the animals wandering over the earth in the form of human.
One of the sayings is like that
"विद्या ददाति विनयम"
"विद्या ददाति विनयम"
"Vidya dadati vinayam"
Means the Lore and knowledge generate politeness
and you can see what politeness really is by going through this beautiful line in Sanskrit where a humble man has been compared with the following
"Bhavantunamrastarvah phalodgamairnavambubhih door vilambano ghana"
A virtuous and talented person is always humble (bent) like a tree laden with fruits and a cloud laden with water.Those who have no qualities remain arrogant (up still) like those trees that do not produce fruits or like that cloud that does not consist of water. So "Humbleness" is a property of meritorious people .So be humble .
By the ways I have forgotten the second line of this phrase. If any one knows please comment .It was said by my master saheb when I used to be in nineth stansard .:)
So lets start with the most enchanted Sarswati Vandana which I use to pray daily
या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना।
या ब्रह्माच्युत शंकरप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता
सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा
या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना।
या ब्रह्माच्युत शंकरप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता
सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा
"Ya kundendu tushar haar dhawla ya shubhra wastravita
ya veena var dand mandit kara ya shweta padmasana
ya bhrhmachyut shankar prabhitibhirdevayi sada vandita
Samampatu saraswati bhagwati nihshesh zadgyapaha"
Meaning -
"May Goddess Saraswati protect me- She who is immaculately white like the jasmine blossom, the moon, and the wreath of the snow, who wears a white sari, and holds an exquisite Vina in Her hand, who is seated on a white lotus, who is ever adored by all the Gods, including Brahma, Chyut (Vishnu), and Shankar (Shiva) and who quickly and skillfully removes all types of ignorance from her devotees.(from youtube )
And other one is ->
शुक्लां ब्रह्मविचार सार परमामाद्यां जगद्व्यापिनीं
वीणा-पुस्तक-धारिणीमभयदां जाड्यान्धकारापहाम्।
हस्ते स्फटिकमालिकां विदधतीं पद्मासने संस्थिताम्
वन्दे तां परमेश्वरीं भगवतीं बुद्धिप्रदां शारदाम्

Lyrics -
Jai Jagadeeshwari mata Saraswati, sharnagat pratipaalanhari.
Chand bimb sam vadan viraje, sheesh mukut mala gale dhari.
Veena vaam ang mein jhoole, saamgeet dwani madhur piyari.
Shwet basan kamalaasan sundar, sang ati hi subh hans sawari.
Brahmanand main das tumharo, ki darshan parbrahma dulari.
Sharde Jai Hans Vahini
