The Light of Knowledge in All of Us

The Light of Knowledge in All of Us

A simple mantra that reminds me the light of knowledge lives within all of us.

या देवी सर्वभूतेषु विद्यारूपेण संस्थिता ।

नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः ॥

Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu Vidya Rupena Samsthita ।

Namastasyai Namastasyai Namastasyai Namo Namah ॥

This shloka means: O Goddess, who lives in every being as knowledge, I bow to you again and again.

Saraswati

I came across this mantra long ago, but it keeps finding its way back into my life. For me, it is a gentle nudge to remember that wisdom is not only in books or lessons; it is already within us, quietly guiding the way.

Whenever I chant it, I feel calm and centered. It is like pressing a small reset button in my mind, reminding me to see the light of knowledge in myself and in others.

If you wish for a pause in the middle of a busy day, this mantra can be that pause.
