Basant Panchami 2025: Basant Panchami has special significance in Hinduism. Mother Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, is worshiped on the day of Basant Panchami. In the scriptures, Basant Panchami is also known as Rishi Panchami. According to the Hindu calendar, the festival of Basant Panchami is celebrated every year on the Panchami Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Magh month. At the same time, there are many interesting stories related to Mata Saraswati, one of which is why Lord Vishnu and Mother Saraswati had a war. So let’s know from Satyarth Nayak’s book ‘Mahagatha’, the amazing story behind it.

Once Mata Saraswati asked Brahma ji who, mother Lakshmi and Mata Parvati, who are the most powerful and special. To which Brahma ji replied, ‘Why should we compare, Saraswati. Bhrigu also tried to assess Tridev but his end was not good. All three of you are different dimensions of power. The mother and creation of nature needs knowledge, due to which you are my wife. There is a need for means for protection, so Maa Lakshmi is the wife of Srihari and needs power for destruction, who is the wife of Goddess Parvati Mahadev. All three of you are holy women, due to which we have attained divinity. You are maternal components that nourish life. There is no competition here.

Mother Saraswati further says, ‘I can know the answer stopped on your tongue. Because as soon as I asked, a name had come in your mind. Therefore, tell me your choice, Lord. On which Brahma ji replied, “If I have to choose, then he is Goddess Lakshmi.”

Mother Saraswati became silent after hearing this. The next day, no one got it. Brahma ji searched everywhere up and down but nothing was found. The goddess abandoned the deity. After several days, all the gods appeared on the land. Brahma ji was performing a yajna and the gods attended to participate in that yagna. Yajna-vedi was built as the Saptakoni star, at which one Saptarishi was seated at each angle. Water was brought from the Ganges and flowers from Indra’s garden. Agnidev was igniting the altar and Vayu Dev was nurturing the flames of the fire. Vishnu was playing his conch and Shiva Damru. Narada ji started chanting the mantra that he became collapsed.

Mother Saraswati appeared in anger

Then the voice of a veena started echoing in which all other voices were suppressed. Mata Saraswati appeared as no one had seen before. Veena was groaning with pain and anger. Saraswati’s fingers were bleeding. His eyes were burning. All three folk trembled with Veena’s pulses. He had turned his instrument into weapon. Music was heard like bad omen. Suddenly, the universe started to gather as if someone had broken his spine. A wire of Mata Saraswati’s Veena was broken.

Then, Brahma ji requested Mata Saraswati to stay. Then Mata Saraswati says, ‘I listen to you and you keep humiliating me? First privately and then publicly? I see that Shri Hari is sitting here with mother Lakshmi, along with Mahadev, Mata Parvati, Indra and Indrani have also come together. There is fire with Swaha. But there is no one with you. You do not want to accept your wife.

Further, Brahma ji replies to Mother Saraswati and says, ‘I searched you everywhere but you did not find anywhere. I hoped that you will definitely come back today and you have really come. Stay with me Hold my hand so that we can start the yajna. On which Mata Saraswati angrily replied and said, ‘I have come to destroy this yagna.’ All the gods got nervous. Brahma offered eyebrows. ‘To destroy?’ ‘Yes. I am not Sati who jumped into the fire of Yajna because she was not invited. I am Saraswati and I will destroy this yajna.

Then Brahma ji replied, ‘We are performing a yajna for the good of the universe. I know that you also wanted the same. Do not let the anger in your mind towards me be on the compassion prevailing towards others. Mother Saraswati pointed to Maa Lakshmi and says, ‘You had chosen them rather than knowledge, ie wealth. To prosperity than creativity. Physicality than spirituality. I want to see if all these can protect your yagya together.

‘As long as I am present, they will not be required,’ one voice echoed. The gods started seeing and Mother Saraswati also saw. It was the voice of Vishnu. Then Vishnu ji says, ‘You gave a place to chaos in the veena, which made your raga impure. It has contaminated the melody of the universe. The ocean of knowledge within you is dirty. You are going to put the welfare sacrifice in crisis and I will not allow you. You have to destroy me before demolishing this yagna.

Mata Saraswati gets anger

Seeing this, Mother Saraswati erupted like a volcano. His clothes were black. His lotus was also turning black. The swan was starting to turn black. She was reversing her own form. When Saraswati and Vishnu came in front of each other, the universe started praying to them. The deity challenged the goddess, the man challenged nature. Two parts of the universe were going to fight mutual. Saraswati immediately revealed Maya-Shakti as a huge hellish fire. But Vishnu ji immediately extinguished him. Then Saraswati expressed Kapalika Shakti, but Vishnu also failed him.

After this, the goddess, calling on many terrible powers, generated Kalika Shakti, but that power also failed in front of Vishnu. The goddess was burning with anger and her eyes were red like blood. His hair was open, Hans was screaming, Kamal was withering. Seeing everyone, the form of Mother Saraswati started changing. She was getting liquid and her body-like body was melting. Mata Saraswati took the form of a huge vortex which made a huge pool in the earth and the goddess was filled with water.

Mata Saraswati changed in river

Then Parvati asked, ‘What are you doing?’ Then Brahma ji replied that, ‘Saraswati is turning into river because she could not destroy the yajna, so she wants to sink it now.’ There was no goddess there now. There was only one stream that was cruelly moving towards Yajna-Vedi. She was peeling to the skin of Bhoolok. Was mixing stones in dust. He had taken an angry form as if the blood was burning in the veins of the earth. The flow of that stream was so fierce that it felt as if she would take the yajna to the abyss. Vishnu started moving towards Mata Saraswati.

Then mother Lakshmi asked, ‘Will Mr. Hari be able to calm her?’ Yes, Shiva nodded, ‘As I had pacified the Ganges and like Kali was pacified.’

Vishnu ji lay on the route of the river. He took the posture of infinite sleep but he did not sleep. They were seeing that the water flow is getting faster. Saraswati was moving forward with anger in her liquid form. Slowly came and came closer. Mata Saraswati took the form of flood and she had come near. He started thundering like a wave. She started spilling over the banks. She was already close. He ripped the earth as he ripped. Mother Lakshmi got nervous after seeing this scene closely. The gods blushed. Then after coming a little distance from Vishnu, the river suddenly turned and started flowing to the right. Due to her flow, there was a pit in the earth, due to which she went to the Hades. She disappeared into the intestines of the universe. The gods breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone was watching with surprise and Saraswati was emptying herself. Goddess had surrendered to Lord Vishnu.

‘The deity again took control of the goddess,’ Parvati looked at Shiva and said. Shiva offered flowers to Goddess Parvati and said, ‘Devi also curbed Mahishasura. The Goddess also controlled the bloodbies. One deity also controlled another deity when I pacified Narsingh as Sharabh. And Srihari had pacified my Rudra Tandava. It is not a matter of deity or goddess, but it is a matter of retaliation of poison that has become a crisis for the world. And there is no penis of poison! ‘
