The Ceremony of Bliss
Anand Karaj
Ever wondered what are the key messages of the Anand Karaj – the Sikh Marriage Ceremony?
It is wedding season in India and many other countries. Thousands of couples will solemnise their wedding in front of the Guru Granth Sahib who is the central pivot in the lives of many.
Let us find out:
- What lays the foundation for a successful marriage?
- What is the key guiding message of each of the four parts of the journey (Laavaan) of marriage that Sikhism enjoins for married couples on their spiritual and worldly journey?
- What do the four levels of this new life journey represent and mean for the bride and groom, who as one body, undertake to merge spiritually with each other and with the Divine.
The fourth Guru, Guru Ram Das, through his hymns, shall be speaking to us in his own voice.
So stay tuned for the Guru’s message in our forthcoming issues to be published from 12th – 16th December 2016!
