Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 1. Which type does swayamvara belong to? GANDHARVA. THE FORMAL LOVE WITH SANCTION OF PARENTS. THE INTERESTED BOYS WILL FOLLOW AND STAND FOR THE GIRL TO SELECT. THE GIRL HAVE THE RIGHT TO TEST THE CAPABILITY OF THE BOY TOO. THIS IS WITNESSED BY MANY INVITEES. (THIS IS WHAT MOSTLY HAPPENING AS LOVE TODAY – WITH A DIFFERENCE THAT NO OTHERS ARE INVOLVED. SOME TIMES THE TEST GOES BEYOND LIMIT TOO. THESE DAYS THE WITNESS IS NOT PERMITTED.) 2.The current system among all Hindus is that the boy marries a girl and takes dowry from her. Is it allowed by any scriptures ? Please clarify. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN THE SYSTEM EARLIER TOO. NOT TOO LONG BACK. AS THE STANZA SAYS UTHTHAMAM SWARJITHAM VITHAM………….. STHREE VITHAM ADHAMADHAMAM (IF THERE IS NO SYSTEM WHY THE POET MSUT TELL THAT THE GIRL’S PROPERTY ATTAINED IS WRONG. ONLY IT HAD OPPOSITION THAT TIME TOO. BUT NOT THE EXTEND THAT WAS PREVAILED IN WEST. THE BOMBAY WAS A DOWRY FOR THE BRITISH MARRIAGE – READ HISTORY)3. The practise of comparing horoscope is also very common. Is it allowed by any scriptures ? We don't see any mention of such a practise in Hindu scriptures. HOROSCOPES ARE SEEN YEARS BACK AND IN MANY YUGA’S BACK TOO. BUT THE HORASASTHRA SAYS “MANONUKOOLAM PRADHAMAM PRASASTHAM……..” – THE MIND MATCH IS MOST AND FIRST PRIORITY. SHOWS THE WILLINGNESS AND THE CHOICE AND EVEN LOVE IS SANCTIONED Sell on Auctions - No fees. Bid on great items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
