Invoking Saraswathi devi in Homam

[Guest guest]

Sri Narasimha garu,

 

Namaskaram.

 

I intend to perform "Aksharabhyasam" ceremony to my Kid on Vijayadashimi day. Before the actual ritual i'm planning to seek the blessings of Saraswathi Devi by invoking her in the Homam.

Can you please guide me how can i invoke her and seek her blessings with any specific Mantra?

 

Can i pefrom this ritual on the the Day with "Moola" nakshatram instead of Vijaya Dashimi?

 

Thanks

KK

Narasimha has earlier helped me do this. Once I go home, I will try to search

for my notes and write.

 

In case, I fail to do so, feel free to call me (9840959887) if you are in India.

 

Best regards,

Vijay

Namaste KK,

 

Use aim, kleem and sauH as beeja, shakti and keelaka. Repeat the same 3 beejas

for anga and kara nyaasas.

 

For dhyaana, you can pick any verse of Saraswati. For example, here is one small

verse written by Kaalidaasa:

 

shaaradaa shaaradaambhoja vadanaa vadanaambuje

sarvadaa sarvadaasmaakam sannidhiH sannidhiH kriyaat

 

Each word is repeated twice with two different meanings above. Kaalidaasa is a

gifted poet. He was an illiterate ignoramus who turned into a great scholar when

the Mother appeared and blessed. There is something outworldly in his poetic

expressions.

 

Another popular dhyaana shloka for Saraswati is:

 

sarasvati namastubhyam varade kaamarUpiNi

vidyaaraMbhaM kariShyaami siddhirbhavatu me sadaa

 

There are many more. Pick the one you like.

 

After panchopachara pooja, do pradhaana homam with any Saraswati mantra you

like. I will give some options below. I am using iTrans notation below. You can

cut & paste it in ITranslator software to see mantras in Sanskrit with Vedic

intonation marked. First mantra is a simple naama mantra with beeja added.

Second mantra is a Gayatri mantra from Rigveda. Third one has beejas added.

 

(1) om aim sarasvatyai namaH svaahaa\''

(2) OM praNo\'' de\_vI sara\'svatI\_ vaaje\''bhirvaa\_jinI\''vatI.

dhI\_naama\'vi\_trya\'vatu.. svaahaa\''.

(3) OM aiM klIM sauH praNo\'' de\_vI sara\'svatI\_ vaaje\''bhirvaa\_jinI\''vatI.

dhI\_naama\'vi\_trya\'vatu sauH klIM aiM OM.. svaahaa\''.

 

Yes, Moola nakshatra during this month is considered auspicicous for praying to

Saraswati.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

Namaskaar,

 

Moola Nakshatra is ruled by mokshakaraka Ketu in the Vimshottari scheme

and its devata is Nrriti who is considered demonic; similar to

Alakshmi. Is there a connection between Saraswati and Moola Nakshatra ?

 

Regards

 

Veenu

You can invite Sarawathi, meDha devi, medhadakshinamurthi and hayagrIva into

fire.

(asunIte punarasmaasu directly)

Offer some ahutis and then perform the aksharabhyasam (oum nama: SiVaya siddham

nama:, oum nama: SivAya siddhISAya nama:, oum nama: SivAya siddhESAya nama:) and

then offer purnahuti.

 

This is the procedure I followed.

Namaste,

 

Yes, this is not a Saraswati mantra, but Hayagreeva mantra. Hayagreeva is a

horse-headed form of Vishnu who gives higher learning.

 

When Vijay was doing aksharabhyasam to his daughter, I had suggested making

offerings to five deities representing five aspects of learning corresponding to

five elements - Ganapathi, Saraswati, Medha Devi (deity of intelligence), Medha

Dakshinamurthy (teacher form of Shiva) and Hayagreeva. While there are various

mantras for each (e.g. Medha sooktam for Medha Devi), the following are simple

naama mantras.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

Hello, Thanks. When I was very young I found this shloka in Kalyan, and used to recite it a lot. I was able to pass my school exams. Then after few months I had to come to London and my life changed completely. And I lost the plot.Several years later I was living in a ashram in Vrajbhoomi and the next door Swamiji who was nearly 100 had a very powerful Lord Sri Hayagreavji in Shaligram. Swamiji wanted to make me his chela and give the ashram to me. But I refused both. Then certain things happened where I was living and I had to move with Swamiji. In a way with Lord. Then again I had to leave that place after some months and come back to LondonIn last few years I tried few times to start the worship of Lord Sri Hayagreavji for knowledge/vidya but each time I was

blocked. So I thought Mother knows best and so stopped.Although there was this question in my mind why Loving Lord is unhappy with me , what mistake I have made.Composing this letter I suddenly realised that each time I do the intense worship of Lord there is very big change in life and perhaps it is not a time to do it.Another problem solved.ThanksLaxmiNarayan--- On Sun, 27/9/09, Narasimha PVR Rao <pvr wrote:Narasimha PVR Rao <pvr Re: Invoking Saraswathi devi in Homam Cc: "Laxmi Narayan" <shrijishrihariSunday, 27 September, 2009, 3:11 AMNamaste, Yes, this is not a Saraswati mantra, but Hayagreeva mantra.
