| General note |
Marriage, by mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik, brings together stories from Vedic, Puranic, Tamil, and Sanskrit literature, from regional, classical, folk and tribal lore, from oral and textual traditions, across 3000 years of history and 3 million square kilometres of geography, to reveal the diversity and fluidity of Indian customs and beliefs around marriage. In Hindu temples, gods and goddesses get married. Marriage is as much a divine rite of passage as a human one. It marks the union of matter and spirit. Matter, because it brings in new wealth, status, pleasure, security, and ushers in the next generation, who can inherit the family name and estate. Spirit, because it forces the couple, the family and the community to accommodate new ideas, new emoticons, new problems and new solutions, Marriage is described as such, mangal, Kalyan, full of auspiciousness, goodness and torture, and not a mere contract,. One needs to be vigilant when it happens, as it makes a turning of life, and the world. |
