PRAYER OF GODDESS SARASWATI
Prayer of Goddess Saraswati (Knowledge)
श्री श्रुतदेवी सरस्वती भगवती, हमको वर देना, जीवनकी बांसुरीमें देवी, श्रध्धा स्वर भर देना. सम्यग् ज्ञानका दीप जलाकर, मनका तिमिर हटाना, भूले न भटके माता, ऐसी राह बताना.
Shri Shrutadevi Saraswati, Bhagawati, Humko Var Denä, Jivan Ki Bänsuri-Mai Devi, Shraddha Swara Bhar Denä. Samyag-Jnän-Kä Dip Jaläkar Manakä Timir Hatänä, Nä Bhule Nä Bhatake Mätä, Aisi Räha Batänä.
O Goddess Saraswati! Bestow upon us your blessings. May you fill the flute of our life with the song of faith. May you kindle the light of true knowledge and thereby remove ignorance from our minds. O mother! Show us the right path of life, so we may never wander aimlessly; we may never lose sight of our righteous goal.
