To Girisai: Guru's teaching right from vedic times to this day is just took a inside travel to find the lord with in him, only the sishays interpretation was the cause todays rituals and other things. All time Guru's teaching is get initition and sit on meditation find the Lord with in him and merge with lord. To days Poojas,Homams are not going to give liberation to the soul, but it may add some good Karmas and again to born to wash this karmas also, so to avoid birth and death and from the rituals one shoud get a guru and do meditation is the only way. s.r.k.
