Anand Karaj is a Sikh wedding ceremony, also known as the "Blissful Union." It is a sacred and joyous occasion where two individuals come together to be united in matrimony according to Sikh traditions and customs. The ceremony takes place in the presence of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism. During Anand Karaj, the couple takes four vows, and the ceremony emphasizes equality, love, and commitment in a spiritual context.
We had a wonderful and memorable experience at Shilpy's cousin daughter's wedding in San Jose Gurdwara Sahib. The reading of ‘Four Lawan’ from Sri Guru Granth Sahib followed by recitation of the same by Bhai Sahib in melodious voice added to the beauty of the Anand Karaj ceremony.
It was heartwarming to note that everyone was neatly dressed in ornamental and traditional clothes and that the ceremony was conducted with discipline and utmost respect. The 'Ardaas' at the end, expressing gratitude to Waheguru ji for the successful completion of the wedding, is a significant and sacred tradition in Sikhism. Such occasions bring people together to celebrate love and unity in the presence of the divine.
I hereby extend congratulations to Herman & Avneet, their parents, and their entire families on this auspicious occasion. May their journey together be filled with harmony, love, and understanding, as they follow the true traditions of the Sikh faith. May Waheguru bless them with a lifetime of happiness and togetherness as they embark on this new chapter in their lives.
