Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Dear Arjun, Thanks for understanding my words. Exactly as you say, any vedic process - may not be only rituals - were started for a great cause, which we really are unaware of. All we debate on is just on our perception of the 'existing form' of Vedic practice we see, hear, learn and understand. When we are at the stage of just anticipating 'what they were', it is incorrect to brand them as orthodox or 'just written in books' or useless. yours KAD , arjun pandit <panditarjun2004> wrote: > Dear KADji > from the post, one can understand that u r well-read of our puranas. emphasising the last sentence you wrote, since kali yuga is different from its previous three predecessors, and dharam is ruling on one pada instead of 4 in satya yuga, for this yuga, those who protect the dharma are protected and blessed by god. in recent posts, few members had observed their scepticism in rituals. arya samaj has shown with evidence how an entire family in bhopal was saved in the dreaded gasleak decades ago only because of their daily havan which did not allow killer gases to land onto them and their entire family was saved. even lord saibaba (a muslim) performed daily havan and his divine miracles need no explanation. so my only request to those who cannot follow rituals or believe in rituals is not to brand them as orthodox or useless. > with best wishes > arjun > > kadrudra <kadrudra> wrote: > Dear John, > > As I already wrote in my other post, IVF or fertilization external to > womb is not a > new concept to Vedic culture.
