662: Ritual Precision vs Devotional Intention

What's more important, the precision of our ritual or our mood in performing it? In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha discuss recent reports of how the Catholic Church deemed invalid twenty years of Baptisms preformed by a priest who unintentionally changed one word in administering the sacrament. In some Vedic paths the precision of ritual and mantra chanting is emphasized. But as the paths rise to the level of Bhakti it’s the intention that is all important. The conversation spans important sources of wisdom including the Vedas, Bhagavad-gita, Srimad Bhagavatam and The Brady Bunch.
