The Hindu goddess Saraswati is the patron of the arts and sciences. She can be invoked using her mantra for help in studies, exams, memory retention, intellectual pursuits, insight, wisdom, writing, singing, dancing, choreography, and composing as well as in scientific studies and research. Wash or clean a statue, idol, or framed picture of Saraswati. When it is dry, adorn it with flowers and perfume. Light some incense and candles or a ghee lamp where possible. A ghee lamp is nontoxic and does not have black fumes. Offer fruits, sweets, honey, milk, sweet cakes, yogurt, and unsalted nuts. Sit in a comfortable position before commencing mantra chanting. The mantra for Saraswati is "Om Aim Saraswatiye Namaha." The mantra should be recited at least 9 times each day, but if you are able to chant up to 108 times per day in one sitting for thirty days, this is even better.
