SARASWATI PUJA-2012

Saraswati is the Goddess of Knowledge, Music, Arts and Science. She is the consort of Brahma, also revered as His Shakti. She is specially worshipped by students for their success in studies.

The name Saraswati came from "saras" meaning "flow" and "wati" meaning "she who has ...", i.e. "she who has flow" or can mean sara meaning "essence" and swa meaning "self". So, Saraswati is symbol of knowledge; its flow (or growth) is like a river and Knowledge is supremely alluring, like a beautiful woman.

Saraswati is depicted as beautiful fair Goddess with Four arms, wearing spotless white saree and seated on white lotus. She is also known as "Sharada"and,  "Vani" and "Vagdevi" meaning "speech".
Medha Suktam is also included in this video. Meaning of which is given below.
