Thursday, January 26, is the Panchami of Shukla Paksha of Magh month, it is called Basant Panchami. On this day we celebrate the manifestation of Goddess Saraswati. Saraswati ji is worshiped with the wish of happiness, peace and success in life. Things related to education should be donated on this day.

According to Ujjain’s Jyotishacharya Pt. Manish Sharma, Basant Panchami is the best day to start the works related to Vidya. Vidya like learning music, learning painting, learning any such art etc. Any special course can also be started from this day. Those unmarried people who want to get married can get married on Basant Panchami without seeing the Muhurta. Keep in mind that along with Goddess Saraswati, Veena should also be worshiped on this festival.

There are five forms of Goddess Adyashakti

Brahma ji had created the universe by the will of Shiva ji. At that time Goddess Adyashakti divided herself into five forms. These five forms are Durga, Saraswati, Savitri, Padma and Radha. In these, Goddess Saraswati is considered as the goddess of learning, she is also known by the names Vak, Vani, Gira, Bhasha, Sharda, Vacha, Dhishwari, Vagdevi etc.

Donate for the education of a poor child

Necessary things should be donated for the education of poor children on Basant Panchami. If possible, bear the cost of a child’s education. Donation of knowledge is considered the best. Educating someone brings welfare to that person and his entire family, that’s why Vidya Daan is considered the best.
