Saraswati Puja in Bardhaman: Bengali Mantras Replace Sanskrit for Pushpanjali

• Students in Purba Bardhaman offered Pushpanjali with Saraswati Puja mantras recited entirely in Bengali, a unique initiative.
• The Sarada Mission Shikshan Mandir in Mashagram organized the puja, making mantras more accessible and understandable.
• Educationists advocate for mother tongue education, and this initiative aligns with the sentiment that 'mother tongue is like mother's milk'.
• The Pranam Mantra and other puja rituals were conducted in Bengali, allowing students to connect better with the worship.
• This is the second year for this initiative, with a Bengali mantra book for Saraswati Puja published last year.
