Who is Goddess Saraswati?

 Hmm, it's saddening to see not many writers glorify maa Saraswati on Quora. Although an impossible task to define her completely still I will try.

Goddess Saraswati symbolizes Vidya. She is the goddess of Vidya. In our Sanathan Dharm, no where without her worship studying is started. Daily her worship is compulsory. Every devotee started their writings with her worship only.

Mata Saraswati is a Supreme goddess and is form of Adi Parashakti i.e. the supreme divine female energy.

O maa Sarasvati, lead us to a better state. Do not spring away with your milk; do not come up short for us. 🥺

She is the treasurer of all the goodness and virtues, she is the ruler of the three worlds.

She is the giver of knowledge, blesses us with wisdom, learning and intellect.

Mounted on a white swan, with a Veena in her left hand and a mala in her right hand, her grace is incomparable.

She is suravandita , who is adored by the gods.

She is the one, who made manthara instigate Rani kaikeyi for the annihilation of Ravan ( every bit of praise is less for defining her greatness) 😍.

She is also the one who made kumbhakaran say nidrasan instead of indrasan when he was asking for a boon.

She is Shivanuja ( sister of lord Shiva).

She is Varaprada ( who is the giver of boons).

Yaa Kundendu tushaara haaradhavalaa, Yaa shubhravastraavritha

Yaa veenavara dandamanditakara, Yaa shwetha padmaasana

Yaa brahmaachyutha shankara prabhutibhir Devaisadaa Vanditha

Saa Maam Paatu Saraswatee Bhagavatee Nihshesha jaadyaapahaa.

May Goddess Saraswati, who is fair like the jasmine-colored moon, and whose pure white garland is like frosty dew drops; who is adorned in radiant white attire, on whose beautiful arm rests the veena, and whose throne is a white lotus; who is surrounded and respected by the Gods, protect me. May you fully remove my lethargy, sluggishness, and ignorance.
