The question asked was, if one should do rituals, yagya etc as stated in the Vedas.
Om Swami says that rituals are not mentioned in any of the vedas. This was introduced much later by the society. Vedas have aradhana (worship), sthuti (songs of praise), sadhana( method used to evoke divinity) and gyan (knowledge). Yagya are of many types. One type of yagya mentioned by Bhagavan is -tamsi yagya, rajsi yagya and sattvik yagya. In these three types of yagyas going forward there are other types of yagya too and they are jap yagya, gyan yagya, athithi yagya and agnihotra. Agnihotra is what has been called as havan or yagya. In very ancient times, special messengers used to carry the sacrifices meant for Indra( lord of gods)personally. Later, times became different and the sacrifices were poured into the fire and it was believed that Swaha (Indra’s wife) carried it to him. This then became a way of being connected to Indra and the gods and so yagya has always been a part of our culture. Om Swami says, that this does not mean that one has to perform yagyas to advance spiritually. It is a matter of sentiments and if one feels happy doing it then they can. One can spiritually advance only when they do good for the society. When one carries out introspection, does good deeds, hears good, speaks good and does good, they advance spiritually very fast and soon they rise above yagya, penance and knowledge. This is the crux of spirituality.
Rituals were connected with religion and were conducted at each and every important phase in one’s life. From the time of conceiving to one’s death. It was a system put into place to remember and being connected to God at various important phases in one’s life. By rituals a person is connected with their religion and it was a way of instilling discipline. But, it’s important to separate religion from spirituality. Most of the time religion and the rituals are believed to be spirituality and many people come to believe that by being ritualistic they are being very spiritual. He says, there comes a time when a person rises above yagya, penance and knowledge. Chanting, yagya and rituals do give benefits but only when done with a proper understanding and with a love for it. If done properly there will be growth otherwise there will be no progress.

प्रणाम स्वामीजी, I feel many people may feel after listening to this discourse as following Sanakar/samaskar (8-22 depending upon various communities and sages they follow for same karma kanda) are not required. For an enlightened person they may not be required, but for people who don't get even time to pray everyday or even weekends, atleast these 8-22 sanskara bring a way of connecting them to Hinduism and their family culture. Many people today don't much about duties in this world as a child, as a student, as a parent, as a rative or as society member, these Samaskars once understood help to know what we are doing actually not feeling emotionaly connected, these samaskars tell them their responsibilities. For a person who is clear by conscience and responsible enough for their duties, Karma Kand may not mean much as they will one way or another perform their duties but people who are no way connected to their duties living a world life these Samaskars are like check points. I personally love doing havan and it makes me feel very happy. I also read Sanskrit text alongwith it so as to know what I am doing in that Havan. One issue I find with Samaskars or karam kand is lot of societal pressures who can do and who can't specially women not always getting equal say..also many people who are poor or don't want to spend much on dakshina, pooja samgrihi, feasts and lodging for guests there we need some reform. People shouldn't be forced to do or not to do and also money associated with same.... Thanku for this discourse 🙏
