Happy Vasant Panchmi
VASANT PANCHAMI (वसन्त पञ्चमी) , or Basant Panchami Saraswati Puja VASAVNT PANCHAMI is an important festival celebrated every year in the month of Magh.
The significance of the day lies in the worship of GODDESS SARASWATI , symbol of wisdom and also the onset of spring season. According to the popular belief, the origins of this festival lie in Aryan period. Aryans came and settled in India through Khyber Pass, crossing the Saraswati River among many others. Being a primitive civilization, most of their development took place along the banks of the River Saraswati. Thus, River Saraswati began to be associated with fertility and knowledge. It is then that the day began to be celebrated.When u find a DREAM inside ur HEART ..…
Don’t ever let it go…Because dreams the tiny seeds
from which beautiful Tomorrow grows . 
Vasant Panchami is the first and more minor of two spring-themed
festivals in Hindu culture. Vasant Panchami initiates the spring festive
cycle and heralds its summation that occurs with Holi. The seasonal
aspects of the festival are more significant in Northern India due to
the sharper contrast between the winter and the spring, however the
festival's religious and cultural significance are emphasized across all
celebrating regions. In ancient Indian literature, Vasant Panchami is
associated with Shringara Rasam and the festival was celebrated in this
tradition. Celebrations today still honor Kamadeva, his wife Rati, and
his friend Vasant (the personification of Spring).
In modern times, however, Vasant Panchami day is more commonly associated with Maa Saraswati,
the goddess of learning, wisdom, knowledge, fine arts, refinement,
science and technology. Goddess Saraswati is worshipped and the day is
treated by celebrants as Saraswati's birthday. People worship Goddess
Saraswati to attain enlightenment through knowledge and to rid
themselves of lethargy, sluggishness and ignorance.
