In our days, when a child started going to school, first we used to take him to temple. We made him write “Om” or “Hariḥ” with rice on a plate and prayed to Maa Saraswati before giving books. We believed that without her blessings, true learning was not possible.
But today, things have changed. Children are going to big schools, learning coding at age 6, joining coaching classes before Class 5 — but nobody is remembering Maa Saraswati. Even in many houses, no one lights a lamp in front of her photo. Parents are spending lakhs on tuition, but not even ₹11 on a simple prayer. Is this the reason why even brilliant students are struggling?
In this post, I want to share what I have learned through experience, through Vedic wisdom, and what our ancient Granthas and Rishis say about real success in education.
Education Today: Knowledge Without Devata?
Today’s education system has become a big race. Everyone wants marks, ranks, and degrees. But what about blessings? What about purity of mind? What about peace and focus? Children are full of anxiety. Many are depressed. Some even lose interest in studies after failures. Parents don’t know what to do. They change schools, hire counsellors, even give brain supplements. But still the root cause is not touched.
The root of Vidya (knowledge) is Maa Saraswati, the divine energy of clarity, wisdom, and speech. She is not just a figure in mythology. She is the living Shakti, as described in the Vedas and Puranas.
“Ya Kundendu Tusharahara Dhavala, Ya Shubhra Vastravritaa,
Ya Veena-Varadanda-Manditakara, Ya Shveta Padmasana…”
We all sang this shloka once. But now, our children don’t even know her name.
What Happens When Saraswati Devi Is Ignored?
When we ignore Devi Saraswati, we cut off the spiritual source of education. Children may still learn facts, but they will struggle with:
- Lack of focus and attention
- Weak memory and low retention
- Fear during exams
- Confusion while writing
- Feeling dull even after full sleep
- Not enjoying studies
I have seen this myself. A boy in our colony was a bright student. But from Class 9, his marks started falling. His mother used to say, “He studies all day, but forgets in the exam.” They went to doctors, did scans — nothing wrong in the brain. Then I told her, “Have you done any puja for Vidya Devi?” She said no.
They did Saraswati Homa after that, through JyotirGamaya platform. Slowly, that boy started improving. He passed Class 10 with 85%.
What Our Granthas Say About True Learning
Our Vedas, Upanishads, and Smritis never separated knowledge from divinity. The beginning of all learning was with prayer and humility.
In Manusmriti it is said:
“Vidyā dadyāt vinayam, vinayād yāti pātratām…”
Knowledge gives humility. From humility comes worthiness.
And in Bhagavatam, it is said that Hayagreeva Bhagwan, an avatar of Vishnu, restored the stolen Vedas. He is also worshipped for higher learning and concentration.
Even Rishi Valmiki, who wrote Ramayana, first did intense sadhana and devata aradhana before becoming a great poet.
So, why are we trying to separate knowledge and divinity today?
Vedic Remedies That Still Work Today
In earlier times, before exams, children were taken to temples. Special pujas were done. Even now, many top-ranking students do these quietly. Some of them perform Saraswati Puja or Hayagreeva Homa before competitive exams.
These are not superstitions. These are time-tested Vedic kriyas based on astrological and spiritual science.
JyotirGamaya’s Education Success Sevas
Thanks to technology, now these powerful sevas can be done even from home. JyotirGamaya is a platform which offers authentic, Veda-based pujas, done by learned purohits in sacred temples. They provide:
1. Saraswati Homa
For improving clarity, memory, and speech power. Very good for school students, and those who forget answers or feel nervous.
2. Hayagreeva Homa
For deeper knowledge, especially useful for students writing NEET, JEE, UPSC, CA, etc. Improves understanding and grasping.
3. Navagraha Shanti Homa
If child is facing unexplained blockages despite effort, there may be Grahadosha (planetary disturbance). This homa corrects it.
Each puja is done with your name and gotra, with proper Vedic mantras, and video is shared. You also get energised prasad and full puja photos. Most importantly, you are doing the right karma, in the right way, for your child.

Final Thoughts from This Old Man’s Heart
I may not have studied in English medium school, but I know one thing: When we forget our Devata, problems begin. Today, many students are suffering silently. Parents are running behind modern solutions, but sometimes, the answer is in our own ancient dharma.
Bring Maa Saraswati back into your home. Light a lamp daily. Chant her name. Do a Saraswati Homa with proper devotion. I have seen with my own eyes — it makes a difference. Not only in marks, but also in the child’s confidence, peace, and happiness.
Let us not raise just educated people. Let us raise wise, peaceful, and grounded human beings, who grow with blessings and bhakti.
🙏 Saraswati namastubhyam, varade kāmarūpiṇi…
Let her guide our children toward light and knowledge.
