Скачать или смотреть Why is Saraswati Puja Celebrated on Basant Panchami? | Harsh Gandhi

Basant Panchmi is celebrated in 2025 on 2nd February. It is a day when the beginning of Spring Season is celebrated.
However, do you know why do we celebrate Saraswati Puja on this day?

In this video I have explained why we do so.

Two other reasons are :
1. A reason to Celebrate Saraswati Puja - According to Hinduism, Lord Krishna is said to have worshipped Goddess Saraswati on this day to attain knowledge and wisdom. Furthermore, the festival follows with the blooming of mustard flowers, adding to the yellow splendour of the occasion and symbolising prosperity and fertility.

2. A Reason to Celebrate Vasant Panchami - It is remembered as the day when the Seers (Rishis) approached Kama to wake up Shiva from his Yogic meditation. They support Parvati who is doing a penance to get Shiva as husband and seek Kama's help to bring Shiva back from his meditation to worldly desires. Kama agrees and shoots arrows, made of flowers and bees, at Shiva from his heavenly bow of sugarcane in order to arouse him to pay attention to Parvati. Lord Shiva awakens from his meditation. When his third eye opens, a fireball is directed to Kama. Kama the Lord of desires is burnt to ashes. This initiative is celebrated by Hindus as Vasant Panchami.
