Dear Sri mani,

I guess, I should have qualified the term "ritual" as per
my understanding.

The correct usage would be "limited ritual as required by
one's acharya". Is it not true that the one's birth status
requiers certain rituals, for example, Bhramins are
required to perform more rituals then the non-bhramins,
seeking refuge?

Best regards.

Venkatesh
