Perhaps I should have mentioned that I always experience huge purifications and lightness whenever listening to vedic rituals, such as the installation of the Rajas awhile back. In fact I was able to capture the chanting as mp3 files and burn them on CDs. However, rather than seeking the vedic rituals out, I am a pretty curious fellow (in both senses of the phrase I suppose...) in that I find myself led to all sorts of interesting situations, including vedic chanting when appropriate.

I agree that Tom's post prompted my reply, though I wouldn't characterise my not feeling a need to do a yagya as a rejection of them. To use a possibly convoluted analogy, if I am already wearing a hat and someone offers me a cap, I can decline on the basis of my needs already being met, without feeling that I am rejecting the offer of the cap. it just isn't necessary. Not to suggest either that I haven't faced a great many trials in my life. We all have. And that is why yagyas are appropriate for some. Yahoo!

MONTHLY MEMBERS are all included in this Yagna Thanks for this Tom. Just a reminder that given Mother Divine as the Universal Supreme Being, all of these things are available to us at any time. Not to make light of your apparent 'boost' through these techniques, but just to recognize that these good fortunes, all of them, are always present, should we choose to receive them. I know this from personal experience becuase I don't participate in such ceremonies yet live a life of total support from Mother Divine. Thanks. Yahoo!
