Vedas and upanishads- Principles and points
From the Bhakti List Archives
• August 14, 2001
Dear fellow Bhaktas: I have recently engrossed myself into the study of the primary source of inspiration to the human self, the Vedas. I would be extremely pleased if somebody could point me in the right direction to what the actual sacrifices mentioned in the Vedas mean , for example agnihotra, somayaga, sattra and isti...Also i was told that the Vedas details one on the rituals to be followed during a funeral. I would be grateful to know if an article exists that would explain these procedures and it significance in english as i find it beyond my ignorant mind to explain to myself the significance of the procedures followed during a funeral rite. The upanishads proclaim that all vedas point to one single truth. Is it justifiable of the upanishads to make a comment like this on something as exhaustive as the Vedas. If it is justifiable what is this single truth that the Vedas point out? I would be extremely appreciative of any replies and also extremely grateful for the same. Please pardon my ignorance.
