Sri Chinmaya Saraswati
Temple

On
Saturday January 24, 2015
Sri Chinmaya Saraswati Temple will celebrate “Vasanta
Panchami”, the birthday of Goddess Saraswati, on Saturday January 24, 2015. As Diwali is for
Lakshmi and Navaratri is
for Durga,
Vasant Panchami is for Saraswati, the
goddess of knowledge and arts. This festival is
celebrated every year on the 5th day or ‘Panchami’ of the month Magha
in
all Saraswati temples such as Saraswati
temple in Basara and
Sri Sharada Peetham in Sringeri. Chinmaya
Mission is excited to announce the celebration of Vasant
Panchami in our own Saraswati
temple in Connecticut for the first time. On this day Goddess Saraswati is
worshiped as the Goddess of Learning, the deity of Gayatri and the symbol of supreme vedantic
knowledge. Please contact priest Venkata Ramana Rampa for more information at 203‐553‐9593. All are welcome.
