Can someone give a convincing & authoritative justification for rituals?

[Guest guest]

dear ganesh,

 

you are right. Bhagavati Gita says " uddarEtAtmAnamAtmAnam " . One has

to uplift oneself with his own efforts and sadhana. Guru is a mArga

darshaka. It is the sishya who has to do the purascharana.

 

However, in srividya, the gurunatha during the initiation of

mahavedha to his disciple, does the anusandhana of kundalini and

pierces the lower 2 chakras through his sukshma sarira.

 

with regards,

sriram
