Dear Ashok --

My calendar from the Hindu Temple says that today (Monday, January 29th)
is Vasantha Panchami, a great feast to Saraswati, Goddess of Learning.

It is appropriate on this day to bless one's tools, and set goals for
studies in the coming year. One might also annoint oneself with
sandalwood oil, and eat yellow or white foods.

Saraswati mahabhage
   (great-gifted Saraswati)
vidye kamala-lochane
   (wise one with lotus eyes)
vishva-rupa vishalakshi
   (taking many forms and seeing all things)
vidyam dehi namostute
   (give us knowledge, we bow to you)

It's interesting that this Hindu festival always falls near Imbolg, the
Celtic feast of the Wisdom Goddess.

Keep sending verses from the Panchastavi, please.
