Creation of another for facilitating kanya Daanam & VivAham

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs:

 

Although there are many matrimonial related information

sites , I have taken the liberty of creating yet another

by name : kanya Daanam/

 

The description of the new group is: A Meeting place for

the parents and relatives of VaishNavite boys and girls

to exchange information on prospective brides and

bridegrooms . A site, where forward minded VaishNavites

come together to build families without the unwelcome /recent

cruel tradition of Dowries and similar monetary considerations

that humiliate the vivAham/kanyA daanam processes these days.

I will serve as the Moderator/owner of this group.

 

In the good old days, the prospective bridegrooms

had to beg for a suitable kanyA's hand for marriage

frorm the father of the girl after completing his VedAdhyayanam.

 

The following article on the Veda manthrams relating

to the nobility of the marriage ceremony was written by

adiyEn during December 1995.That would provide the context

for Vedic wedding :

Alternatively , You can access the same article under another URL:

Please refer to SrImathi KalyANi KrishNamAchAri's posting on ANDAL " s

VaaraNamAyiram Paasurams for the Tamil renditions of our ThAyAr

about these Veda Manthrams connected with VivAham.

 

Please use this site as a meeting place for the bachelors

and kanyAs through their parents and relatives for the auspicious

purpose of entering grahasthAsramam with every respect

accorded to the kanyA and her parents without being

side tracked by other considerations.
