Om Aim Sarasvatyai Namaha (Saraswati Mantra) - Boris Grebenshikov & Krishna Das (live)
Om Aim Sarasvatyai Namaha
Om Aim Saraswatyai Namaha translates to “Salutations to Saraswati”, the goddess of speech, communication, poetry and music.
In Sanskrit, the individual words of the mantra can be translated as:
Om — the sacred sound, representing the whole universe
Shri — a title of reverence, used before the name of an honored person or being
Saraswataya — derived from Saraswati's name
Namaha — literally meaning “not me,” which is used to point to a higher power and indicate that the yogi surrenders to something greater than him/herself
