Vanakkam everyone,
I would like to know your opinion on a particular subject: rituals in Sanatana Dharma.
This include everything that can be performed, at home or at the temple: Puja, Homa, Abhisekham....
As you are on the path of Sanatana Dharma, but all on different minds, it could be interesting to know if you find those rituals useful (for?) or not (why?)
- Do you think practicing rituals at home/Attending them at the temple is useful ?
- What is your opinion on those rituals: does one need them to go on the path of spiritual enlightment ?
- Do you believe it's a direct medium from the devotee to the deity, and vice versa ?
- Do you think rituals are only a tradition/mysticism and think that only by study and science one can attain Moksha ?
Please, no fight on this tread ! It is mostly destined to Sanatana Dharma practioners of course
As for my opinion:
I practice puja, rudrabhisekam and Maasa-Shivratri...As well as Devi Puja on Navratri. So, my perspective is clear: rituals are very importants for me, I think they are an essential part of Sanatana Dharma. By study of the books and knowledge alone I don't feel like I'm going to go much further. I believe it's by the Grace of Mahadev that everything happen, and that it's natural to turn toward Him to honour, thank Him and ask for Him. I do think it's a medium between the devotee and God...
So, what is your opinion on that ?
