Shri Saraswati Ashtakam

Shri Saraswati Ashtakam

Shri Saraswati Ashtakam is in Sanskrit. It is from Padmapurana. It is a discussion between Shatanik (Name of the disciple) and Shounak (Guru). Shatanik is asking his Guru, O! Mahamate, MahaPradnya (One who is very intelligent and knowledgeable) which Japa at the time of death, is to be recited to be free from Karma Bandhana (Bondage of Death and Life)? So that Param Padam (Moksha) is experienced after death.

Shounak says this was earlier asked by Dharm putra Yudhishtir to Pitamaha Bhishmacharya. Pitamaha you know all the Shastras please tell me How God Brahma praised Goddess Saraswati? And how we have to praise Goddess Saraswati so that she will give her blessings to us?

Pleased by the praise, Goddess Saraswati asked God Brahma what was his desire?

Then God Brahma asked Goddess Saraswati to bless him by giving divine knowledge. Goddess Saraswati said those devotees who will recite this stotra with faith and concentration, will receive divine knowledge.

God Brahma said I received that divine knowledge; without goddess’s blessings it is very difficult to receive such knowledge.

Goddess said those devotees who will recite this stotra three times in a day; I will always be with them to guide them.

Here completes this Shri Saraswati Ashtakam which is from PadmaPurana.
