Vedas and upanishads- Principles and points

[Guest guest]

Dear fellow Bhaktas:

 

I have recently engrossed myself into the study of the primary source of

inspiration to the human self, the Vedas. I would be extremely pleased if

somebody could point me in the right direction to what the actual sacrifices

mentioned in the Vedas mean , for example agnihotra, somayaga, sattra and

isti...Also i was told that the Vedas details one on the rituals to be

followed during a funeral. I would be grateful to know if an article exists

that would explain these procedures and it significance in english as i find

it beyond my ignorant mind to explain to myself the significance of the

procedures followed during a funeral rite.

 

The upanishads proclaim that all vedas point to one single truth. Is it

justifiable of the upanishads to make a comment like this on something as

exhaustive as the Vedas. If it is justifiable what is this single truth that

the Vedas point out? I would be extremely appreciative of any replies and

also extremely grateful for the same. Please pardon my ignorance.
