Acharya Vinod Kumar Ojha Shares Essential Basant Panchami Rituals for Success.

Basant Panchami, the vibrant festival of spring, is fast approaching. Spiritual healer Acharya Vinod Kumar Ojha explains key rituals and practices to follow for success in education, career, and creativity.

Saraswati Puja for Knowledge and Wisdom

Acharya Ojha stresses the importance of Saraswati Puja on Basant Panchami. “Worship Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, to invite blessings for intellectual and professional growth,” he advises.

Set up an altar with an idol or image of Goddess Saraswati on a clean yellow cloth. Decorate with yellow flowers, light a diya, and incense sticks. Chant the mantra, “Om Aim Saraswatyai Namah,” for divine blessings.

Dedicate Time to Study and Creativity

Basant Panchami is the perfect time to focus on studies, career planning, or artistic pursuits. “Devote time to learning or creative practice. Starting a new project on this day is particularly fruitful,” Ojha suggests.

Also, donate books or study materials to underprivileged children. This act pleases the goddess and removes obstacles to success.

For children, Basant Panchami is ideal for beginning their education. “Encourage young ones to write their first letters or draw on this day to set a strong academic foundation,” says Ojha.

Artists, musicians, and writers can also benefit from invoking Saraswati’s blessings for creativity and inspiration.

Wear Yellow and Offer Seasonal Delights

Yellow symbolizes energy and prosperity. “Wear yellow and use yellow flowers in your puja to align with the festival’s vibrancy,” advises Ojha.

Offer sweets like kesar halwa, boondi laddoo, or besan barfi to Goddess Saraswati. Mangoes and other yellow fruits are also great offerings. Include study materials or musical instruments near the goddess for blessings.

Start New Ventures: A Favorable Day for Success

Basant Panchami is an auspicious day to begin new ventures in education, arts, or creativity. “The whole day is shubh (favorable), so there’s no need to check a muhurat for starting projects,” Ojha confirms.

Whether you’re a student, professional, or artist, starting on Basant Panchami ensures success and fulfillment.
