Hence students, teachers, musician always prays to the goddess. Goddess Saraswati bestows the blessings to her devotees with divinity, if anyone worships her with devotion, Goddess Saraswati resides on the tip of the tongue, Vedas explains this. Goddess of knowledge is also the Goddess of proper diction and speech. I am sharing a stotram of mother goddess Saraswati which is very powerful in getting her blessings.
