Significance of Saraswati Puja
Saraswati Puja is an important Hindu festival dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom, arts, music, and learning. It is particularly significant for students, teachers, and scholars as they seek her divine grace for enlightenment and success in their educational pursuits. Observed on Vasant Panchami, this festival also marks the onset of spring, signifying renewal and positivity. Worshipping Goddess Saraswati is believed to remove ignorance and lead one towards intellectual and creative excellence.
At Shivam Yoga Centre, the celebration of Saraswati Puja is beautifully aligned with the centre’s core values of knowledge, spiritual growth, and holistic well-being, making the occasion truly memorable for all.
