Thank you Vedanta society New York for sharing this 🌹

Right Maharaj.
Same rituals can be done with different perspective.
One for worldly gains
Another for purification of dirts in mind.
The later ones preferred for eternal happiness .
So, one should choose accordingly.

Rightly it be termed as lower religion, although you politely say, conventional religion.
Unfortunately, most of us go for the lower one only.
But higher, rather highest religion should have been the goal for eternal happiness
