PUNJABI MARRIAGES – A DAY BEFORE CEREMONY

As soon as Vivaah (marriage) is confirmed, the first ritual which is celebrated is rokka. It is the ceremony which formally declares that the alliances (boy and girl) have chosen their life partners and thereby committed to marry each other. Rokka is celebrated at the bride’s house. The prospective groom and their family arrive to the bride’s house for this ceremony. The Punjabi bride family performs a small puja conducted by a purohit. Both the families exchange gifts after puja is accomplished. An auspicious day of wedding is fixed up after the rokka ceremony. Rokka ceremony is followed by sagan, sangeet and Chunni ceremony. In this ceremony, the bride and her family visit the groom house. The father of the bride applies tikka to the groom and offers him money and gifts. The beautifully dressed bride is presented red chunni by her prospective sister-in law. The bride also receives gifts and jewelry from her in-laws as a part of sagan. As a part of this ritual, the bride mother-in law feeds her kheer which is the prepared from boiled rice and milk. Finally, the bride and groom exchange the rings with each other. Next is the sangeet wherein the family and friends of both the punjabi groom and bride are invited. On this occasion, traditional songs are sung and both the families exchange gifts and sweets with each other. This event is to cherish the joyful moments with this new relationship between two families.

After sangeet, there is a significant churha ceremony or bangles ceremony. This ceremony is all about giving wedding dress and bangles to the bride by her maternal uncle. The maternal uncle of the bride adorns her wrist with red and white bangles. These are peculiar bangles which have light ornaments of beaten silver and gold known as kalira. After wearing kalira, the bride is unable to perform any task as they get in way doing it. After churha ceremony, next custom is applying Mehendi or henna to the bride. Normally, mehendi is sent by the groom’s family to the bride. Traditionally, mehendi is applied to the bride by her family members but now a day professional girls are called upon to apply it. The ladies of the family, relatives and friends sing and dance to mark the occasion and celebrate it very joyously.

Next is the Ghara Ghardoli and Vatna ritual. According to the ritual, the bride has to stay at home in her old clothes for couple of days before wedding. The sibling of the bride usually fills water in the pitcher from the nearby temple. The sibling of the bride and other family members sing and dance on the way to the temple. Vatna and uptan which is the paste prepared from powdered turmeric and mustard oil is applied on the bride by her family and relatives. After applying uptan, the bride takes a holy bath from the water which is brought by her sibling from the temple. The ritual of Ghara Ghardoli and Vatna is also celebrated by the groom’s family members. Here the water to take holy bath is brought by the bhabhi (brother’s wife) from the temple.

Just few days before the wedding day, ladies get together daily at night and sing to the accompaniment of the dholaki. They sing traditional suhag at the bride’s place while ghorian at the groom’ place.

Vivaah – Hindu Matrimony

Vivaah – Hindu Matrimony

Marriage, which is termed in Sanskrit as “Vivaah“, can certainly be defined as a sacred institution where two souls of a man and a woman come together and bind themselves in one single thread of commitment, love and togetherness for eternity. Though marriages its customs and rituals may be different in different cultures around the world but the basic meaning remains the same.

Hindu matrimony or vivaah in the context of Veda can certainly be defined as a holy union between a man and a woman so that they can come together and follow the path of Dharma meaning religion, Artha meaning material possessions, and in the end Kama meaning physical desire. According to Vedas, marriage is certainly not any kind of a contract bounded by legal formalities but it is viewed as Samsara’s meaning sacraments as Hindu families are patriarchal. Whereas an English marriage is certainly viewed as a legal contract or social acknowledgement of the union of a man and woman, which can create kinship and includes interpersonal relationship eventually described as intimate and sexual.

As it is described in Vedas, vivaah is certainly a gateway at once to earthly life of pleasure progress, prosperity and joy and viewed as an altar of elevation and a way to reach divine spirituality. It also involves social acknowledgement of the union as it results in future generations.

There are different types of Hindu matrimony, which can be found existed through ancient times and got forwarded into modern times. According to Manusmriti, or the laws of Manu eight different types of Hindu marriages or vivaah can be found though not all of them has social sanction or acknowledged by the society. They are briefly discussed below:

Brahma vivaah: In this particular type of Hindu matrimony, a boy right after his Brahmacharya gets eligible for marriage and the parents find a worthy bride and arrange the ceremony. There was no dowry system of any kind and the boy was chosen according to the qualities described in Vedas. This was so far the best form of marriage.

Daiva vivaah: In this type a girl is well groomed with ornaments and gets married to a priest during any sacrifice. Though it is considered an inferior form of marriage as it derogates womanhood.

Arsha vivaah: This type of marriages used to happen only when the bride’s parents couldn’t arrange for the expenses of marriage and the bride used to be on the verge of the time fixed for marriage. Then the groom after giving a pair of bull and a cow to the guardians of the brides used to marry the girl.

Gandharva vivaah: This can be viewed as a form of love marriages without the consent of the society and the family. When a boy and a girl gets married secretly without informing anyone that used to be termed as Gandharva Vivaah in Vedas.

Some other types of Hindu vivaahs include Prjapatya vivaah, Asura vivaah, Raksha vivaah and others like them.

Though in today’s modern world, the view of marriage is readily changing and it is, most of time is arranged by matrimonial agencies or many a time the boy and a girl chooses to do love marriage. No matter how much the ceremonies or customs may change, the basic value of Hindu matrimony will always be there considering it as a holy union.

TRADITIONAL PUNJABI MARRIAGE

People of Punjab are famous for their large-heartedness and cheerfulness. They believe to live in every moment of the life. Normally, they are known as the community who loves splendor and grandeur. The punjabi matrimony ceremony is one of the gaiety carnivals and event of jubilation.  They enjoy marriage ceremony whole-heartedly along with their popular marriage songs, dholaki, Goriyan and Suhag. They observe and celebrate several rituals and perform music and dance program on every evening till the wedding day.

SECRET TO LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE IS BEING IN RELATIONSHIP

SECRET TO LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE IS BEING IN RELATIONSHIP
For good health and well being, it is essential to be in a healthy relationship. Whether it is long-term committed relationship or marriage, statistics show that people in happy relationships live longer, are healthy and able to deal with stress better. On the other hand, health risks increase, when you are isolated and alone. Some of the advantages of being happily married or in strong committed relationships are:
#1- Long, healthy life:
Innumerable studies and researches have been done to see the effect of strong emotional ties and happy relationships on peoples` health. And the results of the surveys, showed that couples and others with strong relationships have higher chances of living to a ripe old age nearly adding 3 years to men’s life.
#2- Lower levels of stress:
Having someone by your side during difficult times can be reassuring. In another study done on over 100 people, the results proved that people under stressful jobs recovered faster than those who lived alone. The single individuals showed higher stress and enhanced levels of hypertension.
#3- Health and wellness:
Having social support and being in happy, committed relationships were half as likely to fall ill, as those who were single or in stressful short term relationships. The International Gallup poll (2012) found that people, who had friends, were satisfied and happy with their health than the ones who stayed in isolation.
#4- Boost to overall happiness:
National Bureau of Economic Research conducted a survey and found that when friends increased, the effect was as if the people had got a raise. Thus, happiness when you are with loving friends, family and in committed relationships helps you be healthy and happy.
Richard Schwartz and Jacqueline Olds, both psychiatrists observed that frantic pace of life and materialism lead to higher isolation, increasing chances of depression and poor health concerns. If you want to meet your kind-of-people and marry, check out the profiles at TrueRishte.

Men are More Romantic than Women, Says Study

They may forget anniversaries and buy last minute gifts, but men are more romantic than women. A survey found that while 48 per cent have fallen in love at first sight, a mere 28 per cent of women could claim the same. The research, published in a book – The Normal Bar, questioned 10,000 people worldwide about their attitude towards love and relationships. The Normal Bar is the brainchild of entrepreneur Chrisanna Northrupp.

Using data collected from their online survey, the book aims to dispel the myths surrounding relationships, shed light on what a real 21st century relationship entails and helps make your relationship more satisfying. The survey, contains 1,300 questions and touches on everything including, right from the most attractive physical features to personality traits a prospective partner looks for. Other interesting figures from the survey included the finding that only 74 per cent of people are happy in their relationship and 66 per cent of those questioned believe their partner is their soulmate.

While only 15 per cent of those asked admitted to having had an affair, the number confessing to being unfaithful shot up dramatically when the question was phrased as ‘sex outside your current relationship’. A third of men and 19 per cent of women said they had indulged in extra-marital relations. The book goes on to explain that for many, the secret to a happy relationship includes having regular date nights, using pet names, holding hands, passionate kissing, back rubs and frequently saying ‘I love you’. But the most important factor, that almost everyone surveyed agreed on, was communication.

4 Words to Avoid in Your Profile

You’re going to get noticed only by your online matrimonial profile, so you need to make sure you make use of the right words to get the right match. Avoid using cliched or very common terms that can make your profile appear super boring or uninteresting. The kind of words you use in your profile can make a big difference. So, here are 4 words you should avoid using in your profile and if you've already added any of these words please delete them…

Hot 

Some people want a good looking partner, we understand! But that doesn't mean you write that in your profile. Also, never write, “I’m quite hot and intelligent.” Instead of describing yourself as hot, you can write something about your nature, likes, dislikes and family. Let your photos speak for themselves. If you’re really that good looking, you’ll easily find an equally good looking match on truerishte.com

Prince Charming

Let us tell you that most men do not like women writing, “I’m here to find my Prince Charming.” This is not enough for a man to understand what are you actually looking for in a partner. Prince charming sounds like an unreal fairy tale romance. You’re on truerishte.com to find your match, so take that seriously and write about what qualities would you want your partner to possess, etc.

OMG!

This is your matrimonial profile and you’re not here to make friends, right? So, avoid your chat language here. Follow the thumb rule – No Shortcuts. We’re not saying you shouldn't be yourself but that doesn't mean you write things like, “OMG! I’m finally 25 and it’s time for me to start hunting for my match.” This is not how you write a profile. Do not write exactly the way you think. This will only show how immature you are. Your profile needs to be simple, easy to understand and to the point.

Chemistry 

Everyone wants a partner who shares similar values, thoughts, likes, dislikes, etc. Chemistry means nothing but a person you get along really well with and that the two of you have a lot in common. It means when the two of you meet spending time together is exciting. So, be a little more precise. “I want someone with whom I have great chemistry,” is found in a lot of profiles, which shouldn't be mentioned. The word ‘Chemistry’ adds no value to a profile, trust us!

LADIES LOOK FOR 6 KEY QUALITIES IN MEN

LADIES LOOK FOR 6 KEY QUALITIES IN MEN
If you have been looking for love or your soul mate, it is essential to find the right qualities in your man, to ensure that your relationship works out best. We have a list of key qualities that most women look for:
#1- Talk about finances early in the relationship:
Behaves like a chivalrous gentleman: Men need to be respectful, polite, attentive and considerate to the lady’s needs. They never cross the line of being inappropriate in any situation.
#2- Faithful and honest:
Most men believe if they brag about the women in their life and have affairs, they seem macho. However, no woman looking for long-term commitment would ever fall for such men.
#3- Direct and communicative:
Contrary to what most men believe, having a ‘whatever’ attitude doesn't really seem attractive to women. A guy should look into her eyes when talking, discuss and communicate properly instead of dodging questions.
#4- Integrity:
Men that can stay true to their words and stay committed can win any woman’s love as women look for integrity and faithfulness as necessary considerations for a committed relationship. Men with integrity are respected and give respect with equal measure while standing up for what they believe is right.
#5- Maturity:
Mature men approach problems with a calm disposition and value what they have, which tends to be attractive to women. Guys that act their age, behave chivalrously and have a stable job are some of the key considerations for women.
#6- Confident with positive attitude:
A man who is confident about himself and has a positive attitude will be fun to be with. He’ll not be pressured into doing things and can take his own decisions. Additionally, he’ll be more stable and mature in a relationship. (TrueRishte)

HOW TO STAY IN LOVE HAPPILY FOREVER

HOW TO STAY IN LOVE HAPPILY FOREVER
When you fall in love, the world is rosy and you feel on top of cloud nine. But staying in love isn’t as blissful as it seemed in the beginning. But you can stay in love happily forever by knowing in depth about your partner and understanding your relationship. Though most people do not voice it out or let your spouse or partner know about ebbing love in the relationship, taking steps to stay in love can make a difference. You need to work on these steps to always stay in love.
#1- Spend time together:
In a successful romantic relationship or marriage, sexual attraction and love are interconnected and are the basic requirements. But being in romantic relationship, love doesn't depend on passionate love, but to keep the spark alive, it is important to spend time together.
#2- Stay fit to look good:
Though it sounds shallow, it is true. When you first started dating, you always tried to look your best, not slacked off over a period. Getting back into shape can contribute to looking good and igniting the same level of intense sexual desires, as before.
#3- Give each other space:
Being over-possessive and spending all the time together doesn't benefit the relationship. It is important to give each other space to evolve as an individual, be yourself and create your own interests. Enjoy doing something that you like and when you have an interesting life, you have more to talk about with your partner.
Thus, keep your mind open, exchange thoughts, care and communicate with your partner. Be confident and enjoy being in love that can last a lifetime. (TrueRishte)

Friendship and Chemistry in Relationships

The never-ending debate about couples chemistry versus being friends never ends but the fact remain that even if you fall in love at first sight, you need to accept and love each other to have a lifelong commitment in a relationship. There are thousands of couples that became friends and then translated the bond into a committed relationship while there are a multitude of people that hit off instantly and had a great chemistry early on, but the spark died soon after.

Long-lasting marriages and relationships are not based on instant chemistry, but takes time to foster and thrive for a strong lifelong, commitment. Everyone needs security, acceptance and being themselves, without pretense and this is possible when you are friends with your spouse or partner before being in an intimate relationship. Building your future together needs a strong foundation that can weather the storms, tide over bad days and yet remain committed, working together towards a common goal- of a happy marriage and family life.

The reason that good friends make the best couple is because they have shared their honest views about family, life and know each others negative and positive points, yet choose to be together. When they transit to the next level, you already have an innate understanding about each others likes and dislikes, while the blossoming love sparks the chemistry, adding intimacy and spice to life. The fear of rejection is non-existent and you already know all about your old friend, and now lover or spouse.

If you are looking for loyalty, security, stability and everlasting love, be a friend and then a spouse. With numerous profiles on truerishte.com suiting your interests, it is time to make friends and see if the chemistry sparkles!

• We also have strict abuse-prevention and reporting systems for those that do get through our screening systems.

However, in ensuring your safety & privacy, we're limited to actions that are within our control. Therefore, it is necessary for you to exercise some simple precautions for your privacy & for a safe and secure experience.

Here are some simple guidelines YOU can follow to protect your privacy.

1.  Guard your anonymity

our system of anonymous contacting (expressing interest, accepting/declining), and private messaging (Communicate section) is to ensure that your identity is protected until YOU decide to reveal it.

Do

• Remember that you are in control of your online experience at all times. You can remain completely anonymous until YOU choose not to.

Don't

• Don't include your personal contact information like name, email address, home address, telephone numbers, place of work or any other identifying information in your initial messages.
• Don't send contact information until your instincts tell you that this is someone you can trust. It's okay to take your time.

2.  Start slow - Use emails initially

set up a separate email account for communicating. Trust your instincts and start by sharing only your email address and communicating solely via email.

Do

• Look for odd behaviour or inconsistencies. Serious people will respect your space and allow you to take your time.
• Ask a friend to read the emails you receive - an unbiased observer can spot warning signs you missed.
• Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal information or attempts in any way to trick you into revealing it.

Don't

• Don't use signature lines in your emails that include your phone numbers and addresses.
• Don't use your regular or official email id for communicating with a person you don't know well.

3.  Request for a photo

a photo will give you a good idea of the person's appearance, which may prove helpful in achieving a gut feeling.

Do

• You can view the Photo of user on TrueRishte.com. Since truerishte.com offers free scanning & upload services to its members, there's no reason someone shouldn't be able to provide you a photo.
• In fact, it's best to view several images of someone in various settings: profile photo, full & family photo. If all you hear are excuses about why you can't see a photo, consider that he or she has something to hide.

4.  Chat on the phone

A phone call can reveal much about a person's communication and social skills. Consider your security and do not reveal your personal phone number to a stranger.

Do

• Use a pre- paid mobile phone number or use local telephone blocking techniques to prevent your phone number from appearing in Caller ID. Only furnish your phone number when you feel completely comfortable and have some background information of the other person.
• If someone gives you a phone number with a strange area code, check it out to make sure it's not a charge number before you make the call.

5.  Meet when YOU are ready

The beauty of meeting online is that you can collect information gradually, later choosing whether to pursue the relationship in the offline world. You never are obligated to meet anyone. Go at your own pace!

Do

• Remember that you are in control when it comes to taking an online relationship offline.
• Even if you decide to arrange a meeting, you always have the right to change your mind. It's possible that your decision to keep the relationship at the anonymous level is based on a hunch that you can't logically explain. Trust yourself. Go with your instincts.

6.  Meet in a safe place

When you choose to meet offline it is a good idea to try and include either or both of your families. But if you trust the person enough to meet alone always tell a friend or your family where you are going and when you will return.

Do

• When you decide to meet face to face with someone for the first time, choose a public place (such as a restaurant / cafe) at a time when many people are around and ensure your own transportation to and fro.
• For the first meeting it is always good not to meet the other person alone. Take a friend or relative along and ask him/her to do the same.
• In case you do decide to meet him/her alone leave the name, address and telephone number of the person you are going to meet with your friend or family member. Take a cellular phone along with you.

Don't

• Never arrange for your prospective match to pick you up or drop you at home.
• Do not go to a secluded place or a movie alone at the first meeting.

7.  Watch for warning signs

Watching for warning signs and acting upon it is the surest way to avoid an uncomfortable situation.

Do

• Ask a lot of questions and watch for inconsistencies. This will help you detect liars & cons, and it will help you find out if you're compatible.
• Pay attention to displays of anger, intense frustration or attempts to pressure or control you. Acting in a resentful manner, making demeaning or disrespectful comments, or any physically inappropriate behaviour are all warning signs.
• Involve your family or your close friends in your search for a life partner and do not take a decision unilaterally.

Don't

• Don't ignore the following behaviour specially if it is without an acceptable explanation:
• Provides inconsistent information about age, interests, appearance, marital status, profession, employment, etc.
• Fails to provide direct answers to direct questions
• Appears significantly different in person from his or her online persona
• Never introduces you to friends, professional associates or family members

8.  Beware of money scams

Watch out for money scams. There are just too many con artists and scam artists around the world, and they are everywhere.

Do

• Be wary of those who try to ask money from you for whatever reason. But it would be safer to cut off the communication. Remember a genuine person will not ask you for money in any circumstance. If someone asks you for money, use common sense and never give in to such requests
• In case someone asks you for money report the situation to us.

Don't

• Take all the time you need to decide on a trustworthy person and pay careful attention along the way. Be responsible about romance, and don't fall for the oldest con tricks of people who shower love and affection at the first instance and disappear later. Don't become prematurely close to someone, even if that intimacy only occurs online.

Using your own good judgment is your best bet because ultimately you are responsible for your personal experience. Trust your instincts and then move ahead with the right person!

10 Important Indian Wedding Planning Tips

• 10 Important Indian Wedding Planning Tips: Indian weddings are not just a celebration of love between two people; it is a celebration of love among family and friends. You can expect your average Indian wedding to be filled with fun, family, friends and overall festivity. Planning an Indian wedding can take both time and thought. So if you are the one responsible for Indian wedding planning, start planning months before the wedding! Here are some helpful tips to get you started and organized: 
• 
  
• 1. Pick a Date: Congratulations on getting engaged! Even if you plan on being engaged for a year before getting married, it is never too early to start planning out your wedding date. Having a set date in mind will keep you on track and will help you plan out other aspects of your wedding.
• 2. Determine your Guest List: Decide how big or small you want to have your wedding. Indian weddings are a family oriented event, so the guest list can get steep. Regardless,keep track of a tentative guest list so you know how much food to order, how many seats to have and so forth.
• 3. Get Your Invitations Out: Once you have your guest list and your wedding date picked out, start shopping for your wedding invites. Send them out ASAP so people know to save the date.
• 4. Determine your Budget: Weddings can be pricey. If you know in advance that you are working on a budget, it’s advised to detail out a budget list so you can work with it for the rest of your wedding planning. Even if you are not on a tight budget, creating a tentative budget will help you narrow down your choices.
• 
  
• 5. Pick out and book a venue: The venue is one of the first and most important things to book. Venues typically are booked way in advance because there are always more people getting married than there are venues.To ensure that you have the venue that you want, it’s best to make that decision early on.
• 6. Hire an event decorator: Indian weddings are known to be extravagant, festive and mesmerizing. A venue, no matter how great, is just a space to work with. The real magic occurs when the venue is enhanced with flowers, lights, chairs, specialty table linens and so forth. 
• 7. Decide on catering: Great food is an important component of an Indian wedding. Some couples prefer having family members participate in cooking regional specific food. Some decide on having a combination of Western and Indian food. Also be sure to book your cake in advance!
• 8. Pick out what to wear: Whether you plan on wearing a wedding saris,wedding lehenga or a cross between traditional Indian garb and Western wedding attire, buy your dress a few months prior to the wedding.Remember, picking out the perfect dress takes time!
• 9. Hire quality photographer: Capturing one of the most important days of your life is a crucial component of any wedding. If you are trying to cut corners, never skimp out with an in experienced photographer. These wedding photos will be cherished for a lifetime—might as well make them great!
• 10. Plan out your reception: Weddings and receptions go hand in hand,however planning the reception can be as stressful as planning out your wedding. Once you have a broad picture of your wedding, shift gears to the reception. (TrueRishte)
