Vidya is a Sanskrit word which means knowledge and Vidya Prapti Anushthan is a ritual where Maa Sarawati is worshipped in order to seek her blessings to excel in academics and to enhance grasping capacity. The anushthan is carried out to achieve good education, wisdom, and succeed at all levels of academics. In fact, vedic scriptures state that for better results, the anushthan must be performed on the first day of the child’s schooling.

Goddess Saraswati is the mother of Chatur vedas and is the consort of Lord Brahma who is the creator of this universe. Maa Saraswati is also revered as a deity of speech so devotees worshipping this divine form will be blessed with good communication skills, clarity in speech and thoughts. The Hindu religious texts explain that appeasing the Goddess by performing Vidya Prapti Saraswati Puja will not only enlighten us but also bestows us with true knowledge.

One can please Vidyadayini Saraswati by chanting the below given powerful Vidya Prapti Mantras

“ Ya Kundendu Tushar Haar Dhavala ya Shubhra Vastranvrita.

Ya Veena Varadanda manditakara ya shweta Padmasana.

Ya Brahmachayut Shankara: Prabhutribhi devai sada vandita.

Sa Maam Patu Saraswati Bhagwati Neeshesha Jadya Paha”.

“Ya Devi Sarvabhuteshu Buddhirupena Sansthita.

Namastasai Namastasai Namastasai Namo Namah”

“Sarawati Namasthubhayam Varade Kama Rupini

Vidyarambham Karishyami Siddhirbhavatu Me sada”.

The Vidya Prapti Anushthan vidhi begins with Saraswati puja using fresh white flowers, and reciting of mantras. Later, puja is performed of Vidya Prapti yantra and is then kept in the puja room or the study room of the kids.
