§1
Panigrahan as a pledge of lifelong friendship; marriage not a donation
Book 5 · Women, men, marriage, family and parents Also: Religions, history, society and science, Scriptures, myths and their meaning
What are your thoughts on Pani Grahan Sanskar ? I have very good thoughts about it. I will share my thoughts with you all. Panigrahan - Hand is called Paani, Panigrahan means shaking hands. Okay and if we look at Hindu marriage then whatever is there in the entire process of marriage, That is nothing but a pledge of lifelong friendship. Whatever Vows are made, on behalf of the bride and groom, we will always support each other through thick and thin. Other than this, our scriptures say that if you take seven steps together after witnessing the fire, then your relationship of lifelong friendship is established.
So I wish so because I am a wishful person. If we Hindus understand that marriage is not a transaction or donation of a thing, Because we consider the girl as a commodity and donate her, that is not the case. This handshake is for lifelong friendship, so you are getting a friend for life, which is a very big blessing from God. Let me give a classical example here. Read Valmiki Ramayana. When Ramchandra and Sugriva met So Ramchandra ji and Sugriva took Agni as witness and Gave promise of friendship for life to each other. So if we look at it in that context then the Hindu Marriage is what you also call Panigrahan ceremony,
§2
Friendship as the soul of marriage; the Gwalior repairman couple; a wish for Bharat's couples
Book 5 · Women, men, marriage, family and parents Also: Guruji's life, the Darshan room and humour
it is a relationship of lifelong friendship. The relationship between husband and wife begins from that day and this is how I see it. I have seen hundreds of thousands of husbands and wives. Those husbands and wives who had great friendship with each other there is no marriage more successful than them So friendship, lifelong friendship, Open friendship, intimate friendship, sincere friendship is the soul of our PaniGrahan ceremony. We should think about this and also fulfill it. Only Friendship is fulfilled. So do it Any incident in your life that touched your heart ? We used to ride bicycles in Gwalior There was a puncture wala (repairman of bicycle)
He also used to do overhauling of bicycle. Used to take ₹12 and fix punctures too. Those husband and wife had such a great tuning that I have never been able to find anyone else, except only one or two cases. They were very fond of films. So they used to talk by singing songs. As we enjoyed their good conversation, we used to go there and sit near them, He used to wear striped underwear and sando vest and used to work. And we used to sit and listen to their talks, he used to sing songs. The guest of ours is dearer than life. ("Mehmaan jo hamaara hota hai. Woh jaan se pyaara hota hai") Hey Kallu's mother, just make two cups of tea. Well, or as we are sitting, she is going to buy vegetables with a bag, his wife He knew that she was going to buy vegetables but still he used to sing.
Stars wrapped around the body. Where is Kallu's mother going?("Badan pe sitare lapete hue, O Kallu ki amma kidhar ja rahi ho) So She also used to respond to him by singing, so it felt so good to go there. It was just fun to sit there and see I wish that all the husbands and wives of Bharat were like this. May romance remain in their lives, may a poetic touch come into their lives, A sense of humor comes into their lives and they become an example of strong friendship. I wish this only.
