Is it true that the success of a Vedic Homa is dependent on accuracy more than faith? My understanding is this. If there are three people, one believes that the different devas mentioned in the Vedas are different deities. Another person believes that the different devas mentioned are different names of the same supreme entity. And the third person has no opinion about this topic. The success of the homa will depend on if they follow the process accurately, and not whether they believe in one God or many. The success of the homa is fully dependent on the accuracy of the process, and not faith.... 5 0 replies

Hindus love rituals more than Gods As a Hindu this is something I have often observed. Its not that the love for gods is not present in our religion, its just that overall I have seen an obsession towards rituals and much less towards the actual LOVE for gods.

Opinions on Varna and Jati I will most probably be banned after this post. Varna by karma is an opinion of some, not everyone. Egalitarians believe in transgression of orthodoxy but since this is a free religion, such opinions are free to exist too. Despite some people nitpicking verses and showing "proof" that varna is by karma, no orthodox acharya will ever accept that varna is by karma and not by birth when accepting varna by karma opinion can actually result in attaining a large number of followers and huge donations for their personal... 3 2 replies
