If anyone has qualms about any issue, Pl. provide exact slokam and the scripture where I can find it. I am not going to follow unless it is shown in the scriptures. Even there as in Vedas particularly in Rig there is an inner meaning that must be understood than going only be external meaning.
Best Regards,
Raja Krishnamurti
