Adi Shankaracharya Explains Gayatri Mantra

Thusya prachodayatu sabdanistasya atmanah
Swarupabhutam param brahma tat savitur ityati padayh nirdisyateh
Atra tat subdena prthyagbhutam swatah siddham param bramhma uccayathe)

Savitri is the Creation, Sustenance and dissolution,the differentiation of being two as Jivatman and Paramatman gets obliterated.

(srustistitilayam lakshnasya sarvaprpanjasya dwaitabhavasya adistanam lakshyate)

Varenyam stands for the Ananda Rupa of the Brahman.

("varenyamiti" sarvaraneyam niradhshayaandarupam)

By chanting Varenyam one the impurities of the Mind, and Chitta are removed and Knowledge shines forth.

Even here there is no mention of the Abhisheka in the Vedas.

However Hinduism treats God as one close to the individual and does not keep God in a remote portal to be feared.

Gods are taken to be a part of our family.

One loves to do things for the loved ones.

For a child, we bathe it, dress it up and enjoy.
