[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, books are to be treated with respect as manifestation of the goddess of learning.  The mom also said this one was blessed by the priest so maybe it was in a pooja.[/quote]

Goddess of Learning - Saraswati.  All students worship her and there is a special day called "Saraswati Puja" which falls on  Vasant Panchami. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasant_Panchami[/url]

I remember bringing all my textbooks, pens, geometry tools, musical instruments, chess set and any implements that I used for my education and keeping it in front of the deity during the puja so that it was blessed, when I was a student.  My children each have an idol of Saraswati in their rooms.

To this day, I do not put my books on the ground or touch it with my feet or shoes. If I sleep with the books on my bed they are kept near my head and not my feet. I am pretty superstitious about it.

What do you think of the show - though sitcom - do you think it is representative of Modern Indian-American families?[/quote]
