Dear saswathy,
You highlight the importance of firm understanding or grounding in vedāṅga, education; so as not to become to easily led.
These are the first axioms required upon ones path, the conjecture to find God, starts in self awareness, and ultimately leads to God conciousness.
Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras are of course fine instruction in how not to be misled, how to see for ones self; compatible with any school or path.
I think most relevant to the subject of this thread.
Kind regards.
