Sharada Stava

Sharada Stava Sarasvati is creative and she functions in the conceptual space of freedom. She is the one who thought through all thoughts, and even the negation of her being only affirms herself. She is the foundational being and dualism or non-dualism, materialism or spiritualism are merely the modes of expressing herself. It is Sharada the absolute truth that we discover no matter what rational path we follow. नासद्वा सद्यदपि परमं वेद वा तन्न वेद। यत्सत्यं तन्न खलु कुशलैश्छिद्यते तर्कबाणैः॥ द्वैताद्वैताद्यखिलमतिभिर्यत्पदं सेव्यते तत्। वन्दे चेतोविलयनिलयं शारदापादपद्मम्॥1|| Whether the absolute is in the form of being or non-being, whether that is even known to the absolute or not, that absolute truth cannot ever be destroyed by the arrows of logic. Whatever is the absolute worshipped in terms of duality or nonduality, the residence for the dissolution of the mind, we surrender to that, the lotus feet of Sharada. सांख्यं योगं पशुपतिमतं वैष्णवं वा यथेच्छम्। चार्वाकं वा भवतु हृदयाह्लादकं सज्जनानाम्॥ यत्सत्यं तत्प्रमितिपथगं स्वप्रकाशं वरेण्यम्। दद्याच्छौख्यं जगति सकलं दर्शनं शारदाया॥2|| Whatever exhilarates the heart of the virtuous ones, bet it Samkhya, Yoga, Pashupata doctrine, the Vaishnava doctrine, or the Carvaka doctrine, the truth as it is is to be known by means of knowledge, that is self-revealing, and that is desirable. May that gaze of Sharada grant all forms of happiness to the entire world.
