For the Bramins Agni and worship of Agni is special.

The Aupasna Fire(Ritual Fire0 )hat is kept at Home is carried for generations, being transferred from Father to Son and the Agnis is not to be put off.

Though there are many Gods are praised in the Vedas, Agni has priority.

But worship of other Gods, though mentioned in the Vedas and Suktas are in the Vedas n praise of them they take a second place.

But the term Sanatana Dharma is not to be confused with Vaidika.

Vaidika refers to the worship of a particular entity(Agni), Sanatana Dharma refers to the whole systems of Indian Thoughts which includes Fire worship.

When one reads the Vedas , he will find that the Vedas have Samhitas, Hymns for worship for Gods.

And from whom?

It is believed that the practices are from Smrtis,(Recollections) for Individual Discipline and Agamas, for Collective worship.
