    Vasant Panchami

    Vannakam,

    I wasn't sure where to put this post. But as you know, Vasant Panchami is coming up and I have no idea how I should celebrate it. I have a special place in my heart for Saraswati so I want to express it but I can't think of a way to.

    If anybody has any suggestions for what I can do please post. I'm thinking of doing a fast and more japa of her mantra. But I don't know.

    Namaste

    Namaste.

    I'm glad you mentioned this, as I would also like to pay special homage to Maa Saraswati. It was She who brought me and Lord Krishna together. She is my patron of music (guitar and bass); as soon as I began keeping He image near my playing area, my playing and understanding of music theory improved a thousand-fold. I love to learn things, too, so She is there for me.

    Here are a few things I found:

    I believe it is tomorrow 1/28/2012. http://www.cuecalendar.com/holidays/HinduHolidays.htm I too would like to know of particular or special things to do. Other than going to temple, wearing yellow clothes, and paying homage to ancestors, I didn't see much more. I'll at the very least wear yellow, and do something in honor of my (deceased) parents. Perhaps I can put flowers and incense, and a candle by their photo, and offer same to Saraswati Maa.

    You can do puja to the devi or at least some flowers, light and prayer as suggested.

    Good to know that She had such a huge positive influence on you and your performance.

    A happy, blessed Vasant Panchami to all!
    May your knowledge increase a thousandfold and take you to higher consciousness.
    With all respects to Saraswati Maa.

    Pranam.
