THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVI BEEJ / BIJA MANTRA.

Once Suutji in his discourse with King Janmajeya repeated the words of Vyasji regarding the pronounciation of the word ऐ. Vyasji had heard the importance of this word in a meeting of all important saints at Naimisharanya.

There this story was discussed.

In that gathering of such great sages, Rishi Jamdagni asked a question to all the eminent luminaries. He wanted to know which diety is the most revered and gets satisfied easily with our prayers. So Lomash rishi replied that Devi
Bhagwati was one such diety. She will be satisfied and is ready to grant you a boon even if you just say the first letter of her beej mantra. In this context he narrated the story of Satyavrat. The story is as follows.

There lived a Brahmin named Devdutt in Kosal.
He was childless. He arranged for an elaborate yagya for a intelligent son to be born. He invited all the eminent rishi's to conduct this Yagya. Rishi Suhotra, Pael, Brahaspati Yagyavalka were assigned different tasks. Rishi Gobhil was asked to sing the Saamved.
He sang the verses very well, but he had to take respite in order to breathe between two verses. This angered devdutt. He spoke his thoughts to Gobhil rishi.

The rishi got very angry as devdutt did not realise the practicalities of singing. He cursed devdutt that
instead of having a scholar son as he aspired, his son would be non scholarly.

A frightened devdutt knew the importance of having a scholarly son in contrast to a duffer. No one would like to associate with a dumb person. He begs the rishi to take back his words.
So the rishi relents but tells him that his son would acquire scholarly inclinations later as he would be a duffer in his early age.

A son is born to devdutt amidst all fanfare and rituals. The child is named Utathya. Devdutt tries to teach him shastras but in vain.
On reaching the age of twelve the child decides to leave home in search of knowledge. But he is clueless about scriptures. But he settles down on the shores of Ganga and leads a very virtuous life always speaking the truth. He leads such a life for fourteen years.
He now is known as Satyavrat and is now well known all around. He has become respectable although he is not well versed.

Once a hunter came in the forest and saw a wild boar. In order to kill it hunter ran behind it. The boar took shelter in Satyavrat's ashram.
The hunter knew the reputation of Satyavrat and asked him about the boar. The good natured man did not want the animal killed. He just repeated the word ऐ ऐ many times.

Devi Bhagwati was happy with Satyavrat's virtuous life. Satyavrat had chanted the first letter of
saraswat Beej mantra missing its nasal pronounciation. Then also the devi blessed him with intense knowledge immediately.

Satyavrat with his newly acquired knowledge pacified the hunter, who went away. A scholarly Satyavrat was welcomed everywhere.
Therefore the saraswat beej mantra of devi is of utmost importance.

Vedic Education System delivered outstanding results.  These were an outcome of the context in which it functioned.  Understanding them is critical in the revival of such a system in modern times. 
The Shanthi Mantra spells out the context of the Vedic Education System.


It says:

ॐ सह नाववतु ।
सह नौ भुनक्तु ।
सह वीर्यं करवावहै ।
तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु मा विद्विषावहै ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

“Aum. May we both (the guru and disciples) together be protected. May we both be nourished and enriched. May we both bring our hands together and work

with great energy, strength and enthusiasm from the space of powerfulness. May our study and learning together illuminate both with a sharp, absolute light of higher intelligence. So be it.”

The students started the recitation of the Vedic hymns in early hours of morning.


The chanting of Mantras had been evolved into the form of a fine art. Special attention was paid to the correct pronunciation of words, Pada or even letters. The Vedic knowledge was imparted by the Guru or the teacher to the pupil through regulated and prescribed pronunciation,
Assalam Alaiki dear Sister in Islam. I hope this meets you well. Hope you are keeping safe in this pandemic. May Allah preserve you and your beloved family. I would like to address the misconception and misinterpretation in your thread. Please peruse the THREAD below.


1. First off, a disclaimer. Should you feel hurt by my words in the course of the thread, then forgive me. It’s from me and not from Islam. And I probably have to improve on my delivery. And I may not quote you verbatim, but the intended meaning would be there. Thank You!

2. Standing on Imam Shafii’s quote: “And I never debated anyone but that I did not mind whether Allah clarified the truth on my tongue or his tongue” or “I never once debated anyone hoping to win the debate; rather I always wished that the truth would come from his side.”

3. Okay, into the meat (my love for meat is showing. Lol) of the thread. Even though you didn’t mention the verse that permitted polygamy, everyone knows the verse you were talking about (Q4:3).


4. Your reasons for the revelation of the verse are strange. The first time I came across such. I had to quickly consult the books on the exegeses or tafsir of the Quran written by renowned specialists!
