Saraswoti

A grand Saraswati puja is organized in every school on this day and if there’s no temple in that school the students are taken to take audience of the Goddess some where out side’s Saraswati temple. After the puja the prasads are distributed there in the school. So this day reminds the students about the true value of the education. Saraswati mother’s picture remains fixed to worship on the wall of every school’s office in Nepal; since she is the Goddess of knowledge; and without her honour the good education can’t be achieved.

A huge fair takes place at swambhunath’s Swambhunath’s Saraswati temple in kathmandu on this day where thousands of devotees gather there to worship the Goddess; and the fair looks very much picturesque there at this time. In the same manner the fair takes place at the most reputed Saraswati temples of Nepal. Saraswati mata had got this power of knowledge by the grace of lord shiva. The Holy Swasthani scripture describes that once while Lord Shiva was wandering on the earth by taking the dead corpse of sati Devi (parvati) on his shoulder; he different parts of the body fell down one by one on the earth; and different kinds of Mahadevs(Shiva) having their different powers appeared there automatically. Sati Devi’s ovary fell down at Hiranyapur; then the Hiranyapur pith Naradeshowri Devi Tripurendri Yogini Naradeshower Mahadev originated there; and sarasati Devi recited there with many scripts; then the pleased Mahadev asked her to get some blessings; then she asked for the subjugation of all kinds of knowledge; and she was offered the blessing. So since that time of the Golden age she became the magistrate of all kinds of education of this cosmos.

An uneducated man is equal to a blind man; the way the blind can not envisage this word the uneducated man also can’t envision the real world in the same manner though he has the eyes. So education is the most important thing in our life; an uneducated man can never become the Doctors, Pilots Engineers and so on. Without good education no nation can be developed; so every nation invests a lot of money on education for the development of their nation.

Another specialty of this day is the inception of the spring season. The climate seems celestial day by day with the sunny environment. New enthusiasm and vivacity showers in people’s heart. President of Nepal attends to listen the Basanta Srawan at Hanumandhoka palace in Basantapur Durbar square by the Mulpurohit (chief priest) amidst a special function there on this day. Nepal Government High-level officials, foreign diplomat are also invited to attend the ceremony. After the ceremony President graces some kind of donations to the Mulpurohit. This is a kind of very pious auspicious day; any kind of special functions like puja, Bratabanda, marriages and so on can be arranged on this day without the suggestion of any priest; because without prophesizing the auspicious day no religious ceremony are arranged by the Hindus; but this is the pious auspicious day to do any kind of auspicious functions. Nepal Government offers one day government holiday to this festival.

Ya Kundendu Tushaara Haara Dhavalaa
Ya Shubhra Vastraavrita
Ya Veena Vara Danda Manditakara
Ya Shveta Padmaasana
Ya Brahma Achyutaha Shankara Prabrithibhih
Devai Sadaa Poojitha
Saa Maam Paatu Sarasvathi Bhagavati
Nishyesha Jyaadyaapaha

( Oh Goddess Sarasvathi, who is fair as a jasmine flower, the moon or a snow flake, who is dressed in white and whose hands are adorned by veena, who is seated in a white lotus, to whom Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara pray, please protect us )

... : Rojina Nepal Saraswoti mata ki jay! Saraswoti mata ki jay! January 31, 2009 ... : Nepali Puret Some of the many mythological stories connected with Saraswati have interesting sociological interpretations. The gods and the demons by mutual agreement decided to churn the ocean for the Arnrit or the elixir of life. Mainak mountain was used as the churning rod and Basuki as the churning rope. when Lakshmi appeared with the Arnrit kunbha both wanted the elixir. Saraswati with her exquisite beauty lured away the asuras. As the Gods were drinking the Arnrit, Rahu and Ketu, two asuras saw them and slipped in with the Gods. As they drank the Arnrit which would make them immortal like the gods, Vishnu detected them. He immediately cut off their heads. The two enraged asuras, swallowed the sun and moon but could not retain them as their throats were cut. This led to the origin of the solar and lunar eclipse. Saraswati, who was instrumental in helping the Gods to be immortal, was established in the heavens as the Goddess Saraswati February 12, 2009
