In the previous issue we discussed the matching of the Anahat charka which is the seat of selfless love and very rare these days. Though, it’s a rarity to find connections based on the basis of love today, even rarer are the connections established on the basis of creativity i.e. at the level of vishudhi chakra. This is the higher form of creativity, where people unite together when they have risen over their own selfish needs and now can think beyond themselves.
Vedic philosophy is so huge and vast that it covers every aspect of nature, all levels of Creation. Based on the nature of the beings of various dimensions, marriages are categorised in five kinds. ‘Manav Vivah’ or the kinds of marriages we see today are the ones, which require a ceremony and are intended to last a lifetime. The concept of love marriage is not a modern concept; it used to happen earlier also and was called the ‘Gandharva Vivah’. Implying that if two people wish to get married without a ceremony, it is possible and permissible. You can merely exchange garlands and be married. You don’t need a ceremony to announce to the world that you are married. If the connection is from the heart and you are prepared to bear complete responsibility of the person you love, you are married.
Whereas in relationships, which fail to fulfill even the basic requirements of the spouse, cannot be termed a marriage, even if it is performed with rituals. Even a demonic marriage is not devoid of responsibility. The third type, the demonic or ‘Asuric Vivah’ is when you forcibly marry the other person, against his or her wishes (can be a case of forcible sexual assault), however, this person has to look after all the physical and material needs of the person till his/her lifetime. This was a norm with the raksha clans, definitely not meant for the human race. Here, also complete love and respect is given to the person and there is no getting out of it after your carnal desires are fulfilled.
The fourth kind is ‘Yaksha Vivah’. Yakshas are the guardians of the Gods. This marriage is a ceremony with rituals and lasts longer than the ‘Manav Vivah’ but not as long as the fifth one, the ‘Deva Vivah’. Deva means God. Blessed by the higher forces of nature, this ceremony takes 13 months to be completed and lasts for seven lifetimes. In these seven lifetimes the couples carry out specific higher responsibilities and then move towards joining the Deva Lok.
Matching of the horoscopes was nothing else but a match of the chakras, the science was perfected by the Vedic rishis and given to mankind as a blessing. Clairvoyance is a science of seeing chakras and then matching them for two people. It does away with the imperfections of the horoscope matching due to error of the reader.
why marriage is considered as a dying institute these days? Simple reason is that the connection with the partner is of the very basic nature..selfless love is hard to find and more importantly hard to give...With so much negative emotions piled up inside it gets difficult to look beyond & the process of introspection gets halted...It's a challenge indeed... and only a Guru an helps us overcoming it!..Thanks Tullika for sharing this article :)
ReplyDeleteEvery time i read such articles i am left completely in awe! Simply because as mentioned in the article "Vedic philosophy is so huge and vast that it covers every aspect of nature, all levels of Creation." This goes to show how evolved these people must have been to give such detailed and precise information on everything and how with time we have lost this precious knowledge... the consequence (with reference to marriages) of which we see now... higher divorce rates!
ReplyDelete(and Tamanna,i should be the one thanking you and we both should be thanking Artiji) :)
Marriage, considered a sacred institution in our ancient culture, has become a mockery in today's times due to the increasing rate of divorce cases and above all the trivial & materialistic reasons stated as the basis of these divorces.The reason is surely beyond physical, I hope in the forthcoming generation the existence of these facts is realised & they choose their life partners carefully & respect the institution of marriage throughout their life.
