May we never quarrel with each other.

Namaste Saraswati! O effulgent Sarada, worshipped in the city of Kashmir (substitute your
city's name here). I pray to you everyday. Please give the pure knowledge. 1
You are faith, memory, intelligence, the divinity of speech, the spouse of Creator Brahmaa. You
grace the devotees' speech, you are the bestower of inner peace, and all other excellences. 2
I prostrate Yamini, one who is forbearance herself, who has her ears decorated with streaks of
sparkling knowledge; who is Bhavaani, who is a river of nectar that extinguishes
the torments of worldly life. 3.
Constant salutations to you, O Mother Beneficient! You are the one who exists everywhere as a
flow of knowledge originating from the Veda, the auxiliary branches of Veda, Upanishads,
and all other forms of Learning. Salutations to you again. 4
Prostrations to that Vani who is the supreme spirit, who is the divine light, who is The Eternal
Being, and who is the presiding deity of all learning. 5
Prostrations to Sarasvati, Without who, the whole world would appear dead (even though
living). And who is the presiding deity of knowledge. A person is as good as dead without the
learning, Sarasvati. That is the import. 6
Prostrations to Vani, without whom the whole world would appear dumb and demented;
who is the presiding deity of speech. 7.

In order to remove all obstacles, one should meditate
on Lord Vishnu as wearing a white garment, having the
complexion like the moon, and having four arms and
a pleasant countenance.
Salutations to Lord Vishnu, the one with peaceful disposition, one who is reclining over the soft coil-bed of the
Serpent God, the one with a lotus growing in his navel, the leader of the gods, the support of the universe, allpervasive like the ether, cloud-colored one, ausipicious-bodied one, the Spouse of Laxmi, lotus eyed one,
visible to the yogis in their meditations, remover of the fear of the rounds of rebirth,
the unique Lord of all the worlds, salutations !

Om. That (supreme Brahman) is infinite, complete,
and this (conditioned Brahman) is infinite.
The infinite proceeds from the infinite, supreme
Brahman. Through knowledge, taking the infinite
from the infinite, conditioned Brahman, it remains
as the infinite unconditioned Brahman alone.
Om Peace, Peace, Peace!
