Om Ashram was recently honored with the sacred ritual of a Vedic Wedding.

Jump To Section
According to the Vedas, wedding emphasizes a spiritual connection, mutual respect, and devotion.

The Vedic wedding includes three important rituals:
- Kanyadana (giving away the bride),
- Panigrahana (the union) and
- Saptapadi (the seven steps).

Kanyadanam is a sacred ritual in which the bride’s father gives away his daughter, symbolically sending her from her parental home to become a member of the groom’s family.

Panigrahana is a ritual in which the bride and groom sit around the sacred fire and hold hands, symbolizing their union and commitment to each other.

Saptapadi, or the Seven Steps, is a ritual in which the couple walks around the sacred fire seven times in honor of Agni, the fire deity.

Wedding rings symbolize eternal love, unity, and commitment in a relationship.

Vedic marriage is not merely a ritual, but a sacred commitment between two souls to journey together as a couple—both in worldly life and in their spiritual growth.

Our beloved Gurudev, Vishwaguru Ji, blessed the newly married couple, wishing them a joyful journey through life and unwavering progress on their spiritual path. May God bless the bride and groom abundantly with love and divine grace. Hari OM
