Sri RAmajayam SrimathE GopAla DEsika MahA DEsikAya Namaha Dear Sri.Kumar, Our religion is leaning on JnAna, AnushtAna and VairAghya. In General : SamskAras that are mandatory by ShAstric injunction, are better to be followed, knowing the underlying meanings than reasoning out. For a Brahmin male, Upanayanam is the most important samskAra and for a Sthree it would be marriage. For becoming a Sri Vaishnavite, PanchasamskAram is mandatory. MantrOpatEsam, Bhagavad ArAdhanam as well as Rahasyas cannot be revealed without this initiation. Also AdiyEn am sure you would agree that you agree with other SamskAras like wedding, where we never reason out (ie. Like saying we are compatible we do not need a wedding ceremony etc).
