Famous Indian Mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik Asks a Relevant Question on Lakshmi
Famous Indian mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik seems to wonder why people seem to neglect Goddess Saraswati and only favor Lakshmi. In his Twitter post, the author of many books based on mythology wrote, "Why does an unlearned rich and powerful man see himself as superior to a poor and powerless learned man? ....why has post-industrial society made wealth/power the measure of "success" and rejected "learning" ?.... why is Saraswati so rejected unless she enables Lakshmi/Durga?"
