KAUAI, HAWAII, October 8, 2003: In response to an earlier request for a Vedic Wedding Script, Mahamandeleshvara Swami Veda Bharati has send us the document at “source” above. The introduction reads: “An Abridged Version of the Vedic Wedding Ceremony translated by Swami Veda Bharati. The celebration of a full traditional ceremony make take between four hours and four days. Here only the most important aspects are included in the ceremony, which is expected to take approximately 55 minutes.



“The ceremony is performed in the Sanskrit language, the senior sister of Latin and ancient Greek, which is the most ancient surviving language of the Indo-European language family. As Latin is the sacred language of the Roman Catholic Church, and Greek is the sacred language of the Eastern Orthodox Churches, so Sanskrit is the sacred language of the ceremonies performed in India. The form of the ceremony was set approximately 35 centuries ago, and it continues to be followed to this day. The Mandala designs of the altar are symbolic of Divine forces which are invoked at this time. The offerings of incense and melted butter, or ghee, are made into a sacred fire which symbolizes the Divine Light.”
