Marriage : An entry into the dignified family life.VIVAH Sanskar has
the greatest significance among the sixteen sanskaras of Vedic
origin.
The main purpose of marriage is to pay Pitri Rin from among the three
Rin we are born with. They are Dev Rin which is paid by doing Yagya,
Brahm Rin which is paid by studying Ved, and Pitri Rin which is paid by
producing children to extend our family. Raising a family also opens up
our KARMA Kshetra
by taking responsibility of the family and perform our duties. Each
member of the family has his own duties and actions to perform and they
cannot be performed unless he is in a familial relationship.
GOD has created this institution to keep His creation to continue for
ever and for the success of this institution, HE has created very
strong forces which drive even the strangers of opposite sex to accept
this relationship leaving their own families, come very close to each
other and raise a family of their own.
This relationship is durable and strong to have a
family and children. Interpersonal relationships are intimate and
mutually accepted.
People are supposed to follow the
code of
conduct towards the family and the society of which they are the
members. This code of conduct was designed by our ancestors keeping in
view
the aspects of religion and spirituality and four Ashrams,
especially of Grahasth Ashram (normally during the age 25-50 years).
Most
people marry except a few to keep the creation going on. Marriages are
performed with certain rituals according to the faith (Hindu, Muslim,
Christian etc) of individuals. Through this Sanskar, we accept the principles of religion and authority of GOD.
