Talk:Saraswati Vandana Mantra

I wonder, who wrote this article. Because anyone familiar with the demography and ground reality in India will never say "Everybody from musicians to scientists in India pray to her...". Firstly, about a fifth (officially) of India's population is non-Hindu, which means they do not pray to any Hindu God or Goddess. Secondly all Indian Hindus are not necessarily active practitioners of their religion. As a result not all "Indians" recite this hymn every morning.

Another comment that I noticed, which reflects how little the context of this mantra is understood is, "Vandana Mantra is recited by her devotees every morning for good luck". It is very amusing and irritating at the same time to see, that all the mantras dedicated to Hindu Gods and Goddesses are invariably linked to attainment of "Good Luck". This hymn, in particular expresses no desire to receive "luck" at all. It only expresses the desire for knowledge (Jnyan) and enlightenment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.226.158.15 (talk) 12:12, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
