Dear All,

I am just forwarding the message of HH Chinna Jeeyar on Saraswathi Pooja, Its so

crisp and clearing the basic doubts..

 

 

 

About Saraswathi Pooja

 

Priya Sriman govindarajan!

Jai Srimannaryana!

 

Vighna niva:raka Chathurdhi, Saraswathi Puja,

sakthipuja etc, functions are meant for people, not

for gods. Whomever you feel that way, you can worship

them. For instance, vighnaniva:raka is E:kadantha for

saivaites, but for Srivaishnavas, Vighnaniva:raka is

not E:kadantha, but vishvak se:na. so srivaishnavas

worship only Vishwakse:na on Bhadhra chathurthi. It is

on the same lines, on Saraswathi pujaday also, whoever

you feel as vidya-prada:tha, you can worship. For

Srivaishnavas there are two forms, 1. Hayagri:va and

2. Vidya Lakshmi. During Navarathri days, it is only

Mother receives all the pujas. So we can better

worship Goddess Vidya Lakshmi. The reference for this

is from Sristhavam. Here is the slo:kam:

 

"Lo:ke: vanaspathi bruhaspathi tha:rathamyam,

yasya:h kata:ksha parina:mam Uda:haranthi,

sa: bha:rathi: bhagavathi:thu yadi:ya da:si:,

tha:m de:va de:va mahishi:m sriyama:sraya:maha."

 

So Goddess Lakshmi is the one who blesses devotees

with good knowldege and education. We can worship her

too.
