If Vedas are the ultimate source of knowledge and the highest of all the ancient texts out there in the world, Why do we not pray to Indra, Varuna, Agni as much as we pray to Puranic Gods?

When old non brahmin cult was absorbed into medieval Brahmanism. Puranic Story associated with linga/phallus. Later the linga/siva worship was elevated into more abstract/transcendental cosmical power.

Whether Puranic Ganeha is same as Vedic Ganesha or not, it can be a topic of discussion but you cannot deny that Vedas have hymns dedicated to Him.

How essential is the Puranic literature to Vaishnavism and Shaivism?

From what I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong), the Puranas (typically) provide the foundation for the modern practice of Vaishnavism and Shaivism—Vaishnavites revere the Bhagavata Purana, and Shaivites revere the Shiva Purana. Is it uncommon for followers of these lineages to centralize other texts? For example, are there Vaishnavites who primarily look to the Bhagavad Gita, or the Mahabharata as a whole? Are there Shaivites who primarily look to the Shvetashvatara Upanishad, or some other selection?

Sir, you are right. This Shloka is not from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad at all. It is amazing how so many articles and books have cited a completely wrong source for it (BAU 1.4.14). I believe this Shloka is of Puranic origin. https://t.co/VsmhuGldVr twitter.com/tiinexile/sta…
