"MARRIAGE IS A COMMITMENT TO SHARE AND CARE. SHARE ONE’S LIFE AND CARE FOR THE OTHER"
-SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR

Vivaha is one of the 16 samskaras stated in the Vaidic tradition and is celebrated with a number of significant Vaidic rituals and procedures. In order to understand the significance of the rituals of Vaidic wedding one need to be acquainted with life in accordance to Vaidic tradition.

Vivaha marks the beginning of Gruhastha Ashram, which is the second phase of life. After Vivaha one enjoys fulfilling the responsibilities. In Vedic tradition, Gruhastha ashram supports, nurtures and beholds the other three phases, viz., Brahmacharya, Vanaprastha and sanyasa. A married couple takes charge of their household, extends family by begetting children, and nurtures a cohesive family.

Our Uniqueness

Passionately committed to make your wedding into a grand celebration in the Vaidic Style

Our Pundits

The learned pundits (Vaidic priests) conduct the ceremonies in authentic way. They are proficient in Vedas and other sacred scriptures, equipped to perform all sixteen samskaras as prescribed in the scriptures. The Vaidic Yagnas (fire ceremony) performed during wedding ceremony invoke the Devatas (God).

Sapthapadi

One of the most important rituals that creates a loving bondage between the bride and the groom, is “Saptapadi” - Seven steps along with seven eternal oaths taken in the presence of their elders and beloved. The pandit chants and explains the seven oaths and the bridegroom accepts and that means - we have walked seven steps, become companions, and friends, and from now on we shall live virtuously together, inseparable. He takes an oath that the bride shall not be bypassed in terms of Dharma (Virtues), Artha (means of life), Kama (Desires) and Moksha (Liberation).

Significance

Vaidic wedding is based on love, absolute trust, mutual affection, the capacity to adjust and the sharing the responsibilities. At every stage of the wedding ceremony, the Mantras from the Vedas are recited and prayers are offered to insure a smooth and happy life. The duties are assigned to both bride and groom and both are also given certain liberties too. The union being sacred, wedding is irrevocable and everlasting.

Gruhastha Ashram

After wedding ceremony the couple enters into Gruhastha Ashram. Grahastha Ashram is the second stage of life – the householder stage – when newlyweds start their house hold. They enter into the relationship of a husband and wife by taking the vows of staying together in their pursuits of dharma, artha, kama and moksha. It is only after wedding the institution of family is nurtured and maintained.

Testimonials

What does our customer say about the various events that are organized by us

Feeling blessed to have my children celebrate my 60th Birthday (Shashtipoorti) celebrations at Art of Living International Center, Bengaluru. With years and years of vaidic chanting and meditators meditating, serenity and calmness was in the air. Sattvic food and beauty of the décor arranged by ashram team was mesmerising. Panditjis explaining significance of the homas added essence and meaningfulness. Usually when setting up such events we drain energy, but the arrangements done by the team here ensured, we had all things in place and actually we ended up gaining energy . Gurudev’s divine darshan and blessings is out of the world experience . Highly recommended place for multiple events they cater like wedding, vaidic samskaras, birthdays, anniversaries for all age groups

Life is about celebration. Birthdays, festivals, vacations are all there to add to uplift the spirit. In a similar vein, children out of love for parents like to make them happy in their sunset years. Shashtipoorthi and Bhimaratha Shanti at age 60 and 70 years are very old customs followed in the South Indian tradition where the parents go through a wedding ritual in the presence of the Guru, friends and family. I for one felt overwhelmed on both these occasions when my children had it organized for me. I had the pleasure of reaffirming my love not only for my life partner but also for the entire family and extended family. The pandit explained the significance of the chants and the three short Homas that purified the atmosphere. The abhishekam that followed was an awesome experience. The change to fresh clothes after that gave me a feeling of a new life begun! The sit down lunch on banana leaf with all the guests was indeed so traditional and special. All told, I would highly recommend this half a day function as a great celebration and binding factor for all families. Apart from the spiritual element there is an air of great bonhomie and fun!
