Guest guest Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Question from Kalipadma: This is regarding "Om Sang Saraswatyai Namah" This one is new to me. I have always read that a simple mantric invocation of Saraswati was "Om Aing Saraswatyai Namah." This uses the Seed of Wisdom, "Aing," which is also used to invoke the Guru. "Sang" is an unfamiliar Bija to me. What is it called, and how does it differ from "Aing"? Swamiji's response: Sang or sam Sa akshara Saraswati akara shrishti arambha anusvara iti sampurnam Sam bijam iti jnanprakash The letter sa is Sarasvati, the Goddess of Knowledge and the embodiment of one's own ocean of experience. The letter a means the commencement of creation. The meaning of anusvara is full and complete and perfect. The bija sam means the illumination of wisdom.
