For example, Saraswati, The Goddess of knowledge, music, arts and science, is very pleased to hear Her name and She will grant you a boon if you are worthy. However, as Sri Ramana Maharshi says "Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world."
All you have to do is sit comfortably and be aware of the bija mantra. This 'just sitting and thinking' is Yoga, the best path on the planet for to get enlightened. This is just being aware of being aware; that's it, that's all you have to do! Pure awareness. It has already been established that the Indo-Europeans brought Mantra Yoga to South Asia. http://tinyurl.com/924qda5 And, the Vedas reveal the mantras, with the Upanishads their explanation. Note: So, we have MMY giving us the bija of Saraswati, a bija that he recieved from Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, who in turn got the bija from Swami Krishanand Saraswati of the Sringeri Matha. So, we have the Saraswati bija mantra going back to Adi Shankaracharya who founded the Sringeri, and put there the Sri Yantra with the bijas inscribed on it. Then, the Shankarachara wrote out the Soundarylahari and the Ananda Lahari, which explained and enumerated all thirteen Sri Vidya bija mantras. So much for the facts.
