What is the best way to worship Maa Saraswati?

 


The best way to worship Maa Saraswati is the way that you experience to most enliven and expand your devotion. That is my real answer; the rest are just suggestions.

The Vedas contain many mantras to Saraswati Devi or Vak Devi. If you are initiated in these mantras, they are wonderful ways to worship Her, given directly by Vak Devi Herself to the Vedic Rishis and Rishikas. I especially enjoy chanting the Medha Suktam.

Saraswati is the Goddess of Learning and Knowledge. One of the best possible ways to worship Her is to learn. Learn anything you wish, and consciously dedicate your process of learning to Her, recognizing that She is the learning process itself, as well as the knowledge that you gain. By learning, you commune with and honor Her.

Likewise she is the Goddess of Art. Express yourself artistically in some way - sing, play music, draw, paint, dance, write, carve, sculpt, or whatever it may be. Honor Maa Saraswati through your artistic expression. Doing so even in the smallest way is better than none.

There are of course many more ways - perform Puja to Her, especially on Her holy days; go on Yatra to Her temples and rivers, etc. All of these are very good ways to worship Maa Saraswati, as long as you are in tune with your natural devotion to Her. - Devala Rees
