Dear Shankar Babu,
There is only one Truth; so all seekers seek the same Truth and speak about the same Truth, may be in different ways!
As for offerings to temples, please understand that you can not please God with any thing other than surrendering your mind.
Only genuine Bhakthi uplifts your mind and unites you with the Lord.
Offerings or Vazhipadu are for the temples’ existence. If you strongly believe in them, you get a solace when you do that; it is a psychological relief.
When you KNOW that the Chaithanyam in your Self and the Deity are the same, what is the relevance for any offerings?
