The goddess of education, wisdom, and excellence, Goddess Saraswati is a Hindu goddess. Why? Here’s the answer Why Goddess Saraswati cursed Brahma. The number would be in lakhs or crores still there are only two temples of Lord Brahma. One such is a tale that has a reason what happened between Saraswati and Brahma that She cursed Him? Also, there are many temples in India. There are many unheard stories present in religion yet. May the Goddess Sarasvati, the remover of the entire darkness of ignorance, who is described thus, protect me.Hindu religion is full of rituals, traditions, and mythological tales. “…The fire of knowledge reduces all actions (results of actions) to ashes.” That is why Goddess of knowledge Sarasvati is described as being nissesha-jadyapaha.

Within samsara all other things may purify, but this jñana of the self purifies you from samsara itself which is an impurity, mala. This knowledge removes not only the present problems but also all the problems you had created before. That is why Lord Krsna says, “In this world, there is indeed no purifier equivalent to knowledge.”įire, water, and a variety of things purify, but there is nothing that can purify your heart except knowledge of the self that is already pure. Sesha means left over nissesha means without anything being left over, that is, totally. She removes all distorted perceptions with reference to the realities about oneself and about the world. She is the one who removes the dullness in the buddhi which denies the clarity of knowledge. What does she remove? Jadya, ignorance, tamas, dullness.

Sa Bhagavati, that isvara-sakti as Goddess of knowledge nisseshaa-jadyapaha: apaha is the one who destroys or removes. Subhra-vastrena-avrta, the one who wears garments that are white in colour ya vina-vara-danda-manditakara: one whose hands adorn the divine vina ya sveta-padmasana: one who is seated on the white lotus, sveta-padma ya brahma-acyuta-sankara-prabhrtibhih devaih sada pujita: ya, tho one who is, sada pujita, always worshipped, brahma-acyuta-sarkara-prabhrtibhih, by Gods like Brahma, Acyuta (Visnu) and Sankara, all these devatas revel in the knowledge that she represents, and the lesser Gods, seek that knowledge. Ya-one who is kunda-indu-tushara-hara-dhavala: of fair complexion (dhavala) like the necklace (hara) which is as white as the jasmine (kunda), moon (indu), and snow (tusara) ya subhra-vastravrta: subhra-vastra means white garments. Ya sarasvati sa mam patu: One who is the Goddess of knowledge, Sarasvati, sa mam patu, may she protect me! She is further described: Excerpt from the book ‘Prayer Guide’ by Swami Dayananda Saraswati
