		The shrauta rite was particularly attentive to what were the necessary objects and how they have to be used within the sacrificial arena.
		The shrauta rite was a personal affair between the sacrificer and the unseen Divine forces that could give to the sacrificer his objects of desires.
		The shrauta kind of ritual was very much elaborated and relied of the Vedic priests to perform the ceremony on behalf of the sacrificer.

	Welcome to Agni !
		The mythological explanation set forth by the post-vedic literature is that Agni receives the oblations poured into him, and carries them to the celestials for whom the oblations are intended.
		Yajnas may be broadly classified into domestic [grhya] and public [shrauta ie "of the shruti (veda)"].
		The shrauta sacrifices may themselves be classified into Soma sacrifices [soma yajna] and non-Soma sacrifices [haviryajna].

	Domestic Ritual Codes
		Although it is often supposed that the Vedic multi-fire “high (shrauta) cult” was an elaboration of the simpler household rites of earlier time, this should not lead us to suppose that the domestic ritual codes (grhya sutras) are simple transcriptions of that ancient tradition.
		These codes were compiled (often explicitly) on the model of the shrauta codes, which provide the model for both textual and ritual formats for this less prestigious sphere of religious life.
		In this regard, I wish to examine the rhetorical postures adopted to assert the “unity of Vedic ritual” and its historical impact.

	Sanskaras (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Sanskara has come to refer to a ceremony, which is performed as a purification rite for an individual or family.
		According to Hindu belief, ceremonies are performed at two levels: shrauta and grihya.
		Shrauta ceremonies are performed on a grand scale, with more than one priest and a large number of people in attendance.

	Śrauta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since Shrauta focuses on conservative Vedic rituals, the pantheon corresponds to the Rigvedic deities more to that of mainstream (Puranic) Hinduism, among the most prominent deities being Agni and Indra, Soma, Savitar, and with goddesses such as Vac or Sarasvati (c.f.
		The word Śrauta is derived from the word Śruti meaning that which is heard.
		The Smarta and Shrauta traditions are not mutually exclusive; some Smartas continue to practise the Vedic rituals.

	Vedic Sacrifice
		As sacrifice could be an offering to brahma, deva, pitri, manushya or bhuta, the aims of the sacrifice itself has to be compatible with what was in their power.
		With the completion of yajna ritual, its fruits were expected to materialize after a certain period of time, the power of the sacrifice being seen as transitory.
		The internalization of the sacrifice into the microcosmic world of the human body becomes predominant during the Classical period of Hinduism dominated by Jnana Kanda.

		shrauta ritual yes, grhya ritual no. The grhya ritual is in no way inferior from the Mimamsaka point of view.
		I am pointing out they were one strand of "orthodox Brahminism" and other strands were equally active and important.
		> > Because as I said earlier, the Shrauta rites are the archetype and whatever is said about them can be applied to the Puranas.

	Traditia vedica a ofrandei (Yajna)
		Dintre aceste două tipuri de ritualuri, Shrauta era mult mai elaborat, scopurile sale extinzându-se mult peste cele ale unei case de familişti.
		Ritualul de bază de tip Shrauta cere participarea celor patru preoţi Vedici, fiecare dintre ei având atribuţii diferite.
		Ritualul de tip Shrauta atrage participarea a mii de persoane, care fiecare îşi poate pune o dorinţă (Sankalpa) care este trimisă zeilor prin ritualul trimiterii ofrandele respective.

	4.2. TEXTUAL EVIDENCE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Among more recent attempts, motivated explicitly by the desire to counter the increasing skepticism regarding the Aryan invasion theory, the most precise endeavour to show up an explicit mention of the invasion turns out to be based on mistranslation.
		This is rendered by Witzel as: “Ayu went eastwards.
		The fact that a world-class specialist has to content himself with a late text like the Baudhayana Shrauta Sutra, and that he has to twist its meaning this much in order to get an invasionist story out of it, suggests that harvesting invasionist information in the oldest literature is very difficult indeed.

	[No title]
		Certain royal sacrifices--such as the rajasuya, or consecration ritual, and the horse sacrifice (ashvamedha)--remained popular with Hindu kings until very recently.
		Other large-scale Vedic sacrifices (shrauta) have been regularly maintained from ancient times to the present by certain families and groups of Brahmans.
		By and large, however, the surviving rituals from the Vedic period tend to be most clearly observed at the level of the domestic (grhya) ritual.

		Then, there is the following direct statement contained in (the admittedly much later) BSS (=Baudhayana Shrauta Sutra) 18.44:397.9 sqq which has once again been overlooked, not having been translated yet: “Ayu went eastwards.
		The diversity of the numerous mutually incompatible explanations given by Witzel to account for his (mis-)translation (and ‘interpretation’) of the passage from the Baudhayana Shrauta Sutra leaves one wondering- which is the correct explanation?
		The edition of the Baudhayana Shrauta Sutra referenced by Witzel is the one by W. Caland [Ref. 30]

		All that remains of the Shrauta or high ritual tradition is found in fragments of these few Brahmanas scattered throughout the handbooks.
		This exegesis involves narrations on the mythologies of the Vedic gods as well as the implications of various phraseologies and actions undertaken during the Shrauta or high rituals.
		Typically, these Brahmanas do not pertain to the Grihya or householder rituals connected to the rites of passage known as Samskaras.

	Muktabodha on-line Library Index
		The Muktabodha Digital Library and Archiving Project was begun in 1995 as a manuscript microfilming project focusing mainly on photographing at-risk and rare palm-leaf Vedic Shrauta Ritual manuscripts from both private collections and from libraries.
		Since that time the technology used and the focus have evolved into digitally capturing both Vedic Shrauta Ritual and medieval Shaivite manuscripts.
		Muktabodha will also be continuing to add Tantric texts including texts of the Trika-Kaula edited by Dr. Mark Dyzckowski.

	The Aryan Migration Theory: Fabricating Literary Evidence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Taking a look at the data relating to the immigration of the Indo-Aryans into South Asia, one is stuck by the number of vague reminiscences of foreign localities and tribes in the Rgveda, in spite repeated assertions to the contrary in the secondary literature.
		· Interestingly, while the article in Erdosy’s volume says that the Baudhayana Shrauta Sutra is admittedly a late text, the revised version of Witzel contains a different (albeit correct) emphasis by specifying that it is a passage from the Brahmana period.
		The Baudhayana Shrauta Sutra is considered very close to the Brahmana texts in time by scholarly consensus and the relevant sections are of the form of an Anvakhyana Brahmana.

		Agni has always placed a central part in all of our samskaras.
		In general, we may divide our samskaras into two: grihya samskaras, and shrauta samskaras.
		The former are performed in the household fire, and the mantras used therein are found in the mantrapatha, also known as the ekagni kanda.

		Next comes Mantra language, that of the AV, SV, and YV; followed by SaMhitaa-prose that is distinct from the prose of the previous category, distinguished in its content as expository, BraahamaNa-style discussions, in the MS, KS, KpS, and TS.
		BraahamaNa-prose includes two divisions of earlier and later: the older UpaniSads--BAAU, ChU, JUB, late BraahmaNa's, (GB), and the earliest of the Shrauta Suutras form this group.
		Finally in "Suura Language," the balance of the ShS and the GRhya Suutras, as well as UpaniSads of later origin like KaTha, Maitri, and Prashna UpaniSads are found.
