Saraswati Chalisa

In Hindu culture, Saraswati has always been a goddess, from the time of the Vedas to the present day. In the Hindu epic Mahabharata, the Shanti Parva, Saraswati is called the mother of the Vedas and, later, the celestial creative symphony that came into being when Brahma made the world. She is called the mother of eloquent speech and melodious music in Book 2 of the Taittiriya Brahmana. Saraswati is Brahma's dynamic energy and strength. She is also mentioned in many small Sanskrit books, such as Sarada Tilaka, which was written in the eighth century CE.

May the goddess of speech enable us to attain all possible eloquence,

she who wears on her locks a young moon,

who shines with exquisite lustre,

who sits reclined on a white lotus,

and from the crimson cusp of whose hands pours,

radiance on the implements of writing, and books produced by her favour.

- On Saraswati, Sarada Tilaka

In the 1st century CE, Manjushri's wife, Saraswati, became one of the most famous Buddhist gods. In some places, like the Buddhist pantheon's Sadhanamala, she has been shown in a way that is similar to regional Hindu iconography but different from how Saraswati is usually shown.

O Mother, as soon as you chant your name, everything is fine, there's no doubt about it. That is, there's no doubt that even the biggest problems go away when you chant your name.

Also, if you give the Mother Goddess gifts like incense and other things, all your problems will go away. If a person worships the Mother, no bad things happen to him, or he doesn't feel any kind of sadness. Whoever says Bandi a hundred times is freed from his bonds. O Mata Bhavani, always think of me as your slave, have mercy on me, and free me from this ocean of existence.
