Goddess Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of knowledge and arts. She represents wisdom and consciousness. The goddess is the mother of the Vedas, and chants to her (called ‘Saraswati Vandana’) usually begin and end Vedic lessons. She is portrayed with four arms and attired in a spotless white saree. She sits on a white lotus. Her four arms symbolize the four aspects of the human personality in learning: mind, intellect, ego, and alertness. The four arms represent the four Vedas, too.

Here are 10 powerful Saraswati Mantras that can bless you with wisdom and knowledge if chanted regularly.
