I guess what I'm looking for is a straightforward account of the sources of
where these practices come from. If "the gods" in Vedic literature are
synonomous with "laws of nature," as Jon Shear (mid-1970's) and Bevan Morris
(8/88) indicated to me in conversation, then I feel a straighforward account is
in order, e.g what does it mean to "see" and/or "talk to" a "law of nature?"

performance. I try to explain.
Yagya is performance by a group of highly evolved spiritual people.
This is a vedic procedure based on the ancient vedic wisdom.
First A sankalpa is taken for a person. This is very much like oath
taking of a Judge or politician. The group of highly evolved people
take oath that they are performing yagya for a person by taking the
name of the person, his purpose for the yagya and other astrological
data to make the effects reach the person. The evolved group do
chanting of specific vedic sound, which creates powerful vibration
and it is life nourishing. It is comparable to the telecom
technology.
Hope it explains and you find it helpful.
