Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva are probably most famous in Hindu stories, but I'd like to also know if there are any books like the upanishads that describe the leelas of mother Saraswati?

1There is a Tantric form of Goddess Saraswati known as Goddess Matangi. I think there should be some Tantra book on her. – TheLittleNaruto Dec 30 '19 at 17:21

Are you looking for any particular language version like English or Hindi? – TheLittleNaruto Dec 30 '19 at 18:04

@TheLittleNaruto , anything at all that tells the vedic or ancient stories of mother , i.e. one that is not based on human imagination – juztcode Dec 31 '19 at 03:33

There is no dedicated authentic book for Devi Saraswati. She appears in Devi-Bhagavata Purana, Rig Vida, and few other. As stated in answer there is this medieval text alone. Actually, Saraswati is a personal of veda themselves. So, it is more or else symbolic in nature. – Ubi.B Jan 05 '20 at 09:39

@UbiBhatt , what is the devi bhagwat purana? Is it different from bhagwat gita? – juztcode Jan 05 '20 at 13:08

Sorry for using wrong word in my previous comment. It is not "personal", but actually I mean to say " Personification". And yes, devi bhagwat puran and bhagwat gita are two different books. – Ubi.B Jan 05 '20 at 16:44

@UbiBhatt , what's the difference between the two books? If you have read them can you give me a slight hint? – juztcode Jan 05 '20 at 16:59

Devi bhagwat - talks about feminine power to be ultimate. Whereas, Gita (song) is ultimate knowledge or it is a ooze of all Upanishads & vedas. – Ubi.B Jan 05 '20 at 17:30

Yes, there is Sarasvati-rahasya Upanishad which means “the Secret Knowledge of the Wisdom Goddess” This is the medieval era text and one of the minor Upanishads of Hinduism. It is classified under the eight Shakta Upanishads and Krishna Yajurveda. It's text worships Sarasvati form of Shakti which is Hindu goddess of arts, music and learning.
These manuscripts are also entitled as Sarasvati Upanisad, Saraswati Rahasyopnisad, Sarasvatyupanishad and Sarasvatirahasyopanisad.

do you happen to know anything of the story where rishi Durvasha cursed mother saraswati .... I was also looking for that story of which I only remember little since I had seen it somewhere years ago ......... I wonder if the story belongs to some upanishads? – juztcode Dec 31 '19 at 11:02

Are you talking of Sage Durvasa’s curse to Goddess Saraswati to be born as a human being? – Twinkle Sheen Dec 31 '19 at 12:52
-
I just remember the part that he gave the curse, since I saw this many years ago I sort of have forgotten. But it seems you happen to know of it and there must have been a story that followed (maybe in a book perhaps?). Could you please include that in your answer? – juztcode Dec 31 '19 at 14:28

I find the blog confusing though , all sort of things mentioned by the author and not mentioned about the story of durvasa cursing mother. I also searched all around and not a single mention of it anywhere. – juztcode Jan 03 '20 at 04:40
