Smartha Sampradaya (Tradition)

Smartha, as it is termed in Sanskrit, is a liberal and non-sectarian denomination of Vedic Hinduism. It acknowledges all major Hindu deities as manifestations of the one Brahman. This sets it apart from the other major Hindu sects—Vaishnavism, Shaivism, and Shaktism—which revere Vishnu, Shiva, and Shakti, respectively, as the Supreme Being.

The core of Smartha practice includes Vedic rituals that are centered around Homa (fire sacrifices) with elaborate designs, complex methodologies, and recitations of Vedic mantras by qualified priests. These rituals honor various deities, including Demigods, and involve offerings of various ingredients, charitable gifts, blessings from elders, sacred herbs, and omens. Each significant life milestone is celebrated through specific Samskaras, which convey the spiritual significance of the event.
