Chandigarh,29th
Jan, 2020:- A colourful Mass Wedding Function was
organized by the SantNirankari Mission here today, where 73 couples tied their
nuptial knot in the Holy presence of Satguru Mata SudikshaJiMaharaj.
The venue was the ThakkarGround in Borgad, Nashik where the 3-day 53rdAnnual
NirankariSantSamagam of Maharashtra concluded in the evening, yesterday.
The simple ceremony began with
traditional ‘Jaimala’ followed by a common garland for each couple – a special
feature of Nirankari wedding. Thereafter, ‘Nirankari Lavan’, the four
sacred hymns were sung with music, each followed by showering of flowers by Her
Holiness and devotees attending the ceremony.
The ceremony concluded with divine
blessings from Satguru Mata SudikshaJiMaharaj. Her Holiness
congratulated all the families coming from not only Maharashtra but several
other parts of the country for participating in this simple ceremony. As
a matter of fact they are already spiritually one while today a new dimension
has been added by this social relationship. It’s not only a bond between
husband and wife instead; it’s a relation between two families which needs to
be respected by both. They have to perform their duties devotedly, invoking
Nirankar thus making their married life beautiful.
Her Holiness exhorted the couples to
fulfill their responsibilities of the material life but they should give
priority to their duties as compare to rights. Satguru Mata Ji prayed to
Nirankar for their welfare along with Sewa, Satsang and Sumiran.

2 MBAs among brides. 2 brides were Pharmacists. In 8 couples girls were better
qualified than boys and the same was true in the case of another 9 couples
where the boys happened to have higher educational qualifications than the
girls.
Interestingly, 10 bridegrooms and 14
brides came from outside the Mission. It means 24 families preferred the simple
Nirankari Marriage ceremony. The significant feature of Nirankari Mass
Marriages is that caste or religion is no consideration for deciding the
relation. All the couples, their parents and relatives attended the ceremony.
They were served Langar on behalf of the Mission which gave a feeling of
equality and unity to all concerned.
