Listen to Saraswati Arati

Jai Sarasvati mata, jai jai he Sarasvati mata

Sadgun vaibhav shalini, tribhuvan vikhyata, 

Jai Sarasvati....

Glory, glory, all glory to you, O Mother Saraswati ; you are renowned throughout the three spheres as the treasure house of all great noble virtues. Let all sing to the glory of your name !

Chandravadani padmasini dyuti mangalakare,

Sohe shub hansa savare, atul tejdhari, 

Jai Sarasvati....

O infinitely radiant Goddess, you are beautiful and bright as the moon and are seated in lotus posture; you are lustrous in appearance and source of all blessings ; your vehicle, the auspicious swan, looks elegant .

Baen kar men vina, daen kar mala,

Shish mukut mani sohe, gal motiyan mala, 

Jai Sarasvati....

In your left hand, O Mother Saraswati, is the lute and in the right a wreath ; on your head lies a splendid coronet of gems and around your neck a string of pearls .

Devi sharan jo ae, unka uddhar kiya,

Paithi Manthra dasi, Ravan sanhar kiya, 

Jai Sarasvati....

O Goddess, whosoever sought refuge in you was released 

from the cycle of birth and death. By perverting the mind of Keikeyi’s dull-witted, handmaid, Manthara, you became 

instrumental in the destruction of Ravana.

Vidya gyan pradayini, jag men gyan prakash bharo,

Moh aur agyan timir ka jag se nash karo, 

Jai Sarasvati....

O bestower of learning and skill, illumine the world with light of knowledge and dispel the darkness of ignorance and infatuation .

Dhup dip phal meva, man svikar karo,

Gyanchakshu de mata, jag nistar karo, 

Jai Sarasvati..,.

O Mother, pray accept my gift of incense, light, both green and dry fruits, endowing the world with eyes of knowledge ferry it across the ocean of this phenomenal world.

Man Sarasvati ki arti jo koi jan gave,

Hitkari sukhkari, gyan bhakti pave, 

Jai Sarasvati....

Whosoever sings this hymn to Mother Saraswati, becomes a recipient of knowledge and devotion, both of which are beneficial and yield great happiness
