Dhyanam
Srimad chandana charcithojjwala vapu, Shuklambara mallika-
Malaa laalitha , kunthalaa pravilasad mukthavali shobhitha,
Sarva Jnana nidhana pusthaka dara, Rudraksha malangitha,
Vagdevi vadanambhuje vasathu may , trilokya mathaa shubhaa.
Meditative prayer
She who is the mother of the three worlds, with a shining body coated with sandal paste,
Wearing white silk , wearing the garland of jasmine , wearing a shining head gear ,
Shining in a nose ring , holding a book containing all knowledge ,
Wearing a garland of Rudraksha is the Goddess of speech and I live in her lotus like face,

Let my feet be protected by her whose devotees are devas,
And let all my limbs be always protected by her,
Who is the always worshipped Goddess Saraswathi.
