Nice of u Pritish to respond and encourage me in my pursuit of truth and knowledge. I would refer u to slokas nos.42-44 of Chapter 2 of the Bhagvad Gita. There Lord Krishna tells humanity to Beware of those who use flowery speech, quoting the Vedas all the time and asking u to do this ritual and that ritual and saying that u will attain heavens.
Such verses open up the mind like anything.
Read any books on economics-It will tell u that India's rural poor consisting of farmers spend a lot on religious ceremonies-beyond their financial capacity even borrowing at hefty rates from moneylenders. Just see what kind of possibilities do these vereses open up to solve the rural indebtedness problems of our farmers.
