Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Dear All, Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji The purpose of all rituals and duties is to please the Lord. Nothing else pleases the Lord as much as the chanting of the Divine names. So, chanting the divine names of the Lord is sufficient. Source: http://www.madhuramurali.org/swamigal/essay/ji_bss00_lec4.html Though a great marga, in today's world, it is just impossible to follow the Karma marga as prescribed in our Vedas. Nowadays, we find many who speak on stage about the greatness of our Vedas and the need to protect them. None of these speakers is prepared to send his son for Veda Adhyayanam(to study the Vedas) nor will give his daughter in marriage to a Vedic scholar. However, our Sanatana dharma protects even these people who only talk about protecting it. " " Let us leave alone great yagnas such as Soma yagam or Vajapeyam. It is very rare to even find a person who does Sandhyavandanam, which forms part of one's Nithyakarma, regularly. Any ritual with fire requires boo-sparsham (fire should be in contact with earth). But, these days the 'Shradha ceremony' (rituals done for the dead parents) is done in multistorey apartments. In Karma marga, Achaara anushtanam(strict adherence to the rules laid down by the Vedas) is a must. Compromising on Achara anushtanam may even produce deleterious effects.
