pandit ji
In traditional Indian weddings, the vows taken by the couple vary depending on the culture, region, and religion. However, in Hindu marriages, the vows are commonly associated with the "Saptapadi" (सप्तपदी), or the seven steps. These seven vows are considered sacred and are taken around the fire (Agni), symbolizing the binding of the marriage. Here's a breakdown of the seven vows (Saptapadi) typically taken in a Hindu wedding:
1. First Step (Prathama Phera):
The couple prays for nourishment and food to be plentiful in their life, symbolizing that they will work together to ensure the well-being of the household.
Vow: "We will provide for and support each other with food and other necessities of life."
2. Second Step (Dvitiya Phera):
They ask for strength, both physical and mental, to lead a healthy and strong life, with the hope that they will stand by each other during good times and bad.
Vow: "Together, we will develop physical, mental, and spiritual strength."
3. Third Step (Tritiya Phera):
The couple vows to grow wealth and prosperity in their lives and to manage their resources together to fulfill their family's material and spiritual needs.
Vow: "We will earn and increase our wealth through righteous means and share our prosperity."
4. Fourth Step (Chaturthi Phera):
They pledge to support and care for each other’s family, sharing love, respect, and harmony within the family unit.
Vow: "We will support and care for our families with mutual love, respect, and understanding."
5. Fifth Step (Panchami Phera):
The couple prays for the well-being and prosperity of their future children and pledges to be responsible parents.
Vow: "We will raise our children with love, wisdom, and righteousness."
6. Sixth Step (Shashti Phera):
They promise to be with each other through all stages of life, facing joys and challenges as one.
Vow: "We will remain faithful companions, sharing happiness and sorrow."
7. Seventh Step (Saptami Phera):
Finally, the couple takes a vow to remain lifelong companions, committed to each other in love, friendship, and loyalty.
Vow: "We will remain true to each other, loyal, and united in companionship for life."
Other Vows:
In addition to the Saptapadi, couples in India may also exchange personal vows or promises during the ceremony, depending on their customs and preferences. These could include promises to support, respect, and love one another unconditionally.
In other Indian religious and cultural traditions (such as Sikh, Christian, or Muslim weddings), the vows may vary but revolve around similar themes of love, companionship, respect, and responsibility.
