I always remember when I was a child starting my first day back at school on the table mum would have curds, ghee and sugar to wish us luck for the new term ahead. We would seek blessings from our parents touching their feet and do Jai Jai to Goddess Saraswati. Goddess Saraswati the goddess of learning, art, music, speech, wisdom and knowledge, but who is Goddess Saraswati? Let’s find out more… The Jai Jais Way.
Saraswati's name means 'elegant', 'flowing', and 'watery'. She is also known as Bharati-eloquence, Shatarupa-existence, Vedamata mother of the Vedas, Brahmi, Sarada, Vagisvari, and Putkari. As Vac, she is the goddess of speech. Saraswati first appears in the Rigveda and, in later religious texts.
