Namasthe- Saraswat Vishnu stothra

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

This story is from Vaman purana.

 

Once there lived a Kshatriya who hated all Brahmins. With the hate in

his mind he died and was reborn as a rakshasa or demon. He was

extremely hungry and was wandering near the hermitage of a sage. The

sage was chanting Vishnu Panjara sthothram and the demon moved forward

to attack and devour him. Becasue of the power of the Vishun panjara

sthothra, the demon could not advance forward enough to grab him. The

sthotra was acting as an armour and he could not touch the sage. Demon

waited for several months and when the sage opened his eyes, he saw

the weak and hungry demon waiting for him.

 

He asked why he was waiting and who he was. Then the demon said that

he actually came there to kill and devour him, but he was very

impressed by the power of the manthra the sage was chanting. He

expressed his respect for the sage and asked him how he could

transform into a good man and what act of atonement he could perform

to erase the sins he had committed as a demon. But the sage told him

that he did not want to teach the powerful manthras to a demon and he

should approach somebody else for that.

 

So this demon went in search of a brahmin and finally saw a brahmin

doing penance and caught hold of him. Brahmin was frightened and made

some excuse to escape. But the demon would not allow him to go. So the

brahmin prayed Agni Bhagavan or Fire God that was burning in front of

him and asked for help. Immediately Saraswathi devi emerged from the

fire and told him: " you are my devotee.With my blessings, you will be

able to teach him a stothra and that will help the demon to change his

bad thoughts and actions into noble thoughts and actions. This is

called Saraswat Vishnu sthotra and this stothra will give him wisdom

and intelligence. Please meditate on me and Mantra will flow from your

mouth. "

 

Saraswathi Devi's blessings came to his mind like the waves in an

ocean and he narrated the Saaraswat sthothra in an uninterrupted flow

to the demon. Brahmin told him to chant this stotra three times a day

to free him from the sins he committed. He released the brahmin and

went to a place called Shaalagraamam and started chanting this stotra

with utmost devotion and attained moksham or Vishnu padam

Regards and prayers
