May you fully remove my lethargy, sluggishness, and ignorance."

What is a Saraswati Vidya Mandir?

A school. “Saraswati” is the Goddess of Learning. “Vidya Mandir” means “temple of learning”. Indians of all religions respect learning, and to consider a school to be a “temple of learning” is completely common and appropriate, except perhaps to the Marxist Communists.
