Sri:

When discussing something about sanAthana dharma we get questions like “Where it is written?”

The question in itself may have some validity but we have multiple authentic sources including our grandma’s advice which takes precedence over any standard ritual because we give importance to family practices as well.

For people like us devoted our life to listening to upanyasams predominantly , we can refer to upanyasam or kalakshepam

My question is, the entire Veda was spread by word of mouth (listening) & remembrance (shruthi & smrithi) . Do we really need to show “Where it is written?” like Chandhogya upanishad Sath vidhya prakaranam?

Is it correct to say “I accept only if it’s written somewhere?”

Devarir mentioned, ” Is it correct to say “I accept only if it’s written somewhere?”.

For this Adiyen think, if one would accept something, would do so when an Aaptan says referring to Shastras, as heard from upanayasams. One who isn’t ready to accept something and asks for written proof, what is the assurance that the person would act and follow. It is all because of Kalmasham in mind. Not to bother of such distractions.swami
