सरस्वती वंदना
या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना। या ब्रह्माच्युत शंकरप्रभृतिभि र्देवैः सदावन्दिता सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा॥1॥ शुक्लां ब्रह्मविचार सार परमामाद्यांजगद्व्यापिनीं वीणा-पुस्तक-धारिणीमभयदां जाड्यान्धकारापहाम्। हस्ते स्फटिकमालिकां विदधतीं पद्मासने संस्थिताम् वन्दे तां परमेश्वरीं भगवतीं बुद्धिप्रदां शारदाम्॥2॥
We pray to you, Oh Lord Almighty, We pray for your blessings and prosperity, We pray for good health, peace and tranquility, Endow us with strength and courage to face any adversity. We seek your guiding light to success, Awaken us from inscience and ignorance, Free our mind from abyss of darkness, Help us walk the path of truth and righteousness. Grant us the will to win against all grief, Never to lose faith and belief, Make us kind in our action and words, For us to grow in the knowledge of truth, wisdom and love;
