Vasant Panchami

Program:
Vasant Panchami – Aksharabhyasa and Saraswati Puja

Vasant Panchami is described as highly significant by Sages in our scriptures. According to the scriptures, Mother Saraswati incarnated on Vasant Panchami day from Lord Brahma’s mind. Hence, it is considered the best day for students to worship Mata Saraswati – the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, arts and music.  Vasant Panchami is an excellent day for auspicious activities.  Students can bring their laptops/books/school supplies and place by the altar to be blessed during the puja.
