The need of the marriage
Wife and husband are the two wheels of
the life chariot. No one is superior to each other.
Once they are married, they are not just two individuals, they
are couple. Modern age life style brought personal egos
and complexes into the lives. As long as there were no
external influences, our traditions cherished.
According to Hindu mythology everybody
carries three debts right from his birth. They are 1)
Rishi Runam, 2) Deva Runam and 3) Pithrunam.
Rishi Runam :
Person has to learn Vedas (the sacred texts) means the knowledge which
one has to acquire . To clear this owe, one has to pass on
the knowledge he acquired from his gurus to his next generations.
Deva
Runam : We are indebted to Panchabhutas; the Sun for
giving us the light, the Agni for giving us the fire, the Vayu for wind,
the Varun for giving us water through rains, the Earth for giving us
food we need. We need to clear this owe, by performing
yajnas.
Pithrunam
: We are indebted to our beloved parents who given us
the opportunity to come to this world by giving us the birth. We
have the responsibility of continuing their vamsa (generation). To
clear this owe one has to get married and continue the
generations.
The
sanctity of marriage is being lost. The culture is
polluted by the adopted cultures.
The society tries to follow the iconic
figures. For most of the common folk, cinema heroes and
heroines are the iconic figures. These iconic figures have
the responsibility of remaining as the role models to the society.
Ironically, they are not able to shoulder such responsibilities.
Male and female living together without any bond/marriage is one such
adopted culture. One can’t totally deny the prevalence of such
tendencies in our society earlier. Even if they are, they can be
considered as sporadic. But when an iconic figure resorts
to such acts, it definitely has its impact on the society.
The courts too becoming parties in
polluting our cultures with the recent pronouncements legitimizing the
practice of living together, marriage between homos/lesbians etc.
There are hundreds and thousands of cases piled in different
courts desperately looking for their turn to get justice, the courts are
becoming very passionate these days to pronounce judgements on silly
issues of this kind ignoring the cases which deserve their full
attention.
The
process of marriage largely packed with vedic mantras (chanted by
purohits on behalf of bride and groom) is more of promises and faiths
reposed on each other in the holy presence of Agni (fire).
