A Sacred Journey of Two Souls
In the heart of Bangalore’s serene landscape, where ancient wisdom meets modern celebration, Vaidic Wedding stands as a beacon of India’s timeless matrimonial traditions. Founded on the vision of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at the Art of Living International Center, we are dedicated to preserving and celebrating the authentic Vaidic way of marriage – where unions are not just social contracts, but sacred bonds blessed by cosmic laws .
What is Vaidic Wedding?
Vaidic Wedding represents the purest form of Hindu matrimonial ceremonies, rooted in the Rig Veda – the most sacred text of Sanatan Dharma . The word ‘Vivaha’ originates from the Sanskrit roots meaning “to support” and “to carry,” signifying how two individuals come together to support each other through life’s journey Vaidic Wedding, we conduct marriages as one of the 16 sacred samskaras (life ceremonies) prescribed in Vedic traditions. Each ritual, from the sacred fire ceremony to the Saptapadi (seven vows), is performed with authentic mantras by our Gurukul-trained pundits who are proficient in Vedas and sacred scriptures .
The Vision of Our Founder
“Marriage is a commitment to share and care. Share one’s life and care for the other”
— Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Under the divine guidance of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Vaidic Wedding was established to revive the true essence of Vedic marriages. His vision transforms weddings from mere social events into spiritual celebrations where families gain energy rather than drain it .
Why Choose the Vaidic Way?
Sacred Foundation
Vaidic marriages are built on four pillars Love – The foundation of mutual affection
- Absolute Trust – Complete faith in each other
- Capacity to Adjust – Flexibility and understanding
- Sharing Responsibilities – Equal partnership in life
Spiritual Significance
Unlike modern ceremonies, Vaidic weddings invoke the Devatas (cosmic forces) through sacred Yagnas. The couple takes seven eternal oaths in the presence of Agni (sacred fire), creating an irrevocable and everlasting bond .
Beginning of Gruhastha Ashram
Marriage marks the entry into Gruhastha Ashram – the householder stage of life. This phase supports and nurtures the other three life stages: Brahmacharya (student), Vanaprastha (retirement), and Sanyasa (renunciation). Through marriage, couples fulfill three essential goals :
- Dharma – Righteous living and duties
- Prajana – Continuing the lineage
- Shraddha – Maintaining spiritual traditions
