lyrics

Ya kundendu tushara hara dhavala ya shubhra vastravirta
Ya viñavara danda mandita kara ya shveta padmasana
Ya Brahmachyuta Shankara prabhirtibhir devaih sada vandita Sa mam patu Sarasvati bhagavati nihshesha jadyapaha
Saraswati Ma
Mahadevi Namo Namah Saraswati Mahadevi Bhagavati

Praise Goddess Saraswati, white as the lotus flower, like the moon glistening on the snow in the Himalayas. From her the music of the universe streams forth. May she grant me her abundance and assistance, may she take away my laziness!

The name Saraswati means "one who flows", a quality that applies equally to breathing, thoughts, words, or the movement of a river. According to Vedanta, Saraswati represents creativity, fertility, intelligence, consciousness, communication, education, enlightenment, music, and the arts. Mahadevi means “great goddess”
