Hi, To the question, "Where in vedas does the so called ganapati aka pilliAr being praised as supreme??" -- Ganapathy atharvashiras mentions that. The atharvanikas identify that as a valid upanishad apart from Narayanopanishad (re-appearing in Taittriya aranyakam book X), Nilarudropanishad, part of pippalada samhita and others. Note that even the swaram of Ganapthyatharvashiras survives (implying a living tradition - unlike, say kAThaka yajurveda, where swaram is lost for more 2/3rd of the shruthi vakyas). As for Skanda, he is a later deity and his worship appears in Atharva veda parishishTa as skanda yaaga. The atharvaniks regard this as a valid yaaga apart from other rites like vishasahi (to Agni-Vishnu) etc. Regards, Kasturi Rangan .K --- In ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "VenkatarAghavan K.S" <ksvenkat@xxxx> wrote: > SrI: > > Dear all > > This is really reaching a level of annoyance. > > Where in vedas does the so called ganapati aka pilliAr being praised > as supreme?? please quote.also quote about MurugAn being praised as > supreme.
