Nicely said shyam..but this ritual is made in accordance to the sciptures / sastras to ensure that you elivate to higher rituals rather than doing the same for years together. Many a times the priests have fallen to a very low mind set and forgotten the actual god realisation (Sadhana). If you see now the priest must be staying in a big bangalow and the estwhile king is staying in rented house..what a change in the lord's world...
