All Saampradayika Hindus perform a MangalaacharaNa before starting any stotra pathana. The most standard Mangalaacharana, popular in Maharashtra, is
॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः॥, ॥श्री सरस्वत्यै नमः ॥,॥श्री गुरुभ्यो नमः ॥
Do you know that we have a pictorial representation for this as shown below. You would have seen it a lot of times already:)
Vyasa Maharishi is the Guru, don't we celebrate Guru Pournima on his Janma Tithi?
Saraswati Mata is flowing in the form of a river in the backdrop.
Such an amazing way of embedding simple concepts in our minds isn't it? But not very apparent:)
