ॐ ऐं सरस्वत्यै नमः

In Transliteration:

Om Aiṃ Sarasvatyai Namaḥ

Saraswati is also the name of a sacred river (now underground). Knowledge, like water, flows and nourishes.

Key Saraswati Mantras

1. Saraswati Beej Mantra

ॐ ऐं

Om Aiṃ

The seed sound of wisdom—most concentrated form.

2. Ya Kundendu

या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता।

या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना॥

या ब्रह्माच्युतशङ्करप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता।

सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा॥

Meaning: "May Goddess Saraswati protect me—she who is white as jasmine, moon, and snow; who wears white garments; whose hands hold the veena; who sits on a white lotus; who is always worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, and other gods; and who removes all ignorance."

3. Saraswati Gayatri

ॐ सरस्वत्यै च विद्महे ब्रह्मपुत्र्यै च धीमहि।

तन्नो देवी प्रचोदयात्॥

Pronunciation Guide

Aiṃ (ऐं)

The beej mantra for Saraswati:

"Ai" - like "eye" but longer

"ṃ" - anusvara resonance

Common Mistake: Pronouncing as "aim" with hard "m." Let the nasal sound resonate.

Sarasvatyai (सरस्वत्यै)

"Sa-ras-va-tyai"

The "v" is soft (between v and w)

"Tyai" flows as one syllable
