Another dream of mine ..🎻💙🎻

After I got selected in the University of the visual and perfoming arts , I  thought  conduct a Saraswati Pooja.I saw  my teacher is conducting saraswathi pooja in these days, on his whatsapp states . I have a desire to conduct a Saraswati Pooja in my home as well.

💓 Saraswati Puja is celebrated across the globe by the Hindus. This festival is also known by the name of Sripanchami festival and is observed on the fifth day of the spring festival on a full moon day in the month of January to February.

💓 The word panchami means five. The Saraswati Puja festival is related to the Kaumudi utsav and the Basant utsav. Saraswati Puja marks the beginning of the Vasant Utsav and is celebrated for a period of fifteen days by the people of Uttar Pradesh till Dolepurnima or full moon dayGoddess Saraswati is the embodiment of knowledge, wisdom and learning.

💓 The word Saraswati has been derived from the two words, knowledge  and self .She is draped in a white saree or mustard coloured or basanti saree. White signifies purity and her demeanour reflects the same.

💓 In her two rear hands she holds akshmala or prayer beads in her right hand and pustaka or book in her left hand. With her two fore hands she plays the musical instrument veena that symbolizes harmony.

💓 Playing the veena signifies the tuning of the intellect with the mind and knowledge, so that the devotee can blend harmoniously with the universe.

💓 The prayer beads signify spiritual knowledge and bring across the message that spiritual knowledge is more powerful than the secular knowledge contained in books. The deity sits on an inverted lotus that symbolizes knowledge and her vehicle is a white swan.

💓 One day I will make a Saraswati Mandapam with my own money and make my dream come true.

Ridmi Bandara.
