Vasanta Panchami & Vishnu Priya Devi's Appearance - January 20,2010

[Guest guest]

Namaste all.

Best Wishes to all our Readers on the Occasion of

Vasant Panchami (Sri Panchami), 20th January, 2010.

 

..... " Since ancient times and all across medieval days, on

Vasantotsava - Spring festival, which is celebrated on

Vasanta-panchami - the fifth day of Phalguna, the last of the

twelve months of Indian calendar, Goddess Saraswati is worshipped.

 

Vasanta-panchami marks the beginning of man's pursuit of learning

and Saraswati, who represents it, presides over the occasion. As

the tradition has it, with Vasanta-panchami is begun a new

educational session and a child writes on the day his ever first

alphabet. Educational institutions and private persons hold

special rites to hail and worship the goddess and believing minds

place their books and pens around her image so that they reveal

to them more learning and greater wisdom.'

 

Jaya Sri Radhe!
