Maa Saraswati Vandana
माँ सरस्वती वंदना 

Ya kundendu tusharahara dhavala, Ya shubravastravrita

Ya veena varadanda mandita kara, Ya shvetapadmasana

Ya-Brahma-chyuta-shankar-prabhritibhir, Devayeh-sada-vandita,

Sa-mam-patu-saraswati-bhagwati,Nihshesha-jadyapaha

Meaning:

Fair as a jasmine flower, the moon or a flake of snow, dressed in white,

Her hands adorned by the graceful veena staff, seated on a white lotus,

Adored by Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, and the other deities,

Protect me, Oh Goddess Saraswati, remover of ignorance inert.

Shuklam Brahmavichar sar, parmamadyam jagadvyapineem

Veena pustaka Dharaneem bhayadam jadyandhakarapham

haste sphatikmalikaam viddhateem padmasane sansthitaam

vande taam parmeshvareem bhagwateem budhiprada sharadaam

Meaning:

One who is white in complexion, who is the essence of Brahman, one who pervades the

universe, with Veena in one hand and the Vedas in the other, bestower of fearlessness,

and remover of ignorance, with a Mala in her hand, seated on a Lotus, the source of all

intellect, to that Mother Saraswati I bow down

Early Morning Prayers

Karaagre Vasate Lakshmeeh, Karmadhye Saraswatee.

Karamoole tu Govindah, Prabhaate kara darshanam.

Meaning: The front of hands (i.e. finger tips) 

is ascribed to Laxmi (Goddess of wealth), 

the middle of the hands to Saraswati, and the root 

(i.e. part of hands near to the wrist) to Govinda. 

Therefore, every morning one should

respectfully have a look at one’s hands (which symbolizes honest labor).

Samudra vasane Devi, parvata stana mandale

Vishnupatni namastubhyam, Paada sparsha kshamasvame.

Meaning: O! Mother Earth, who has the ocean as clothes and mountains

and forests on her body, who is the wife of Lord Vishnu, I bow to

you. Please forgive me for touching you with my feet.

Guru Mantra

Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu Gurur Devo Maheshvara

Gurur Shashaath Para-Brahma Tasmai Shri Guruve Namah

Maheshvara, and who is verily the Supreme Absolute itself.
