The first (Introductionary) Ardaas
  • In this Ardaas (prayer) only the bride and groom
    and their parents stand and participate to seek
    Guru Jis blessings before proceeding with
    wedding ceremony.

kIqw loVIAY kMmu su hir pih AwKIAY Whenever
there is any work on hand, address Vaheguru about
it and invoke His blessings. (Ang 92, SGGS)

The First Hukamnama The Order (Hymn from Sri
Guru Granth Sahib Ji)
  • A Hukamnama is a random reading of the first
    shabad (hymn) on the ang (page) which Sri Guru
    Granth Sahib Ji opens on.
  • Through the Hukamnama, Guru Ji speaks and showers
    His blessings upon the couple, the parents and
    the holy congregation.

10
Tying the Wedding Knot
  • This ceremony is known as Palle Dee Rasam,
    where the brides relatives (usually the father)
    give her away to the groom.
  • Holding the boys sarf in her hand, the bride and
    groom physically join in communion, ready to
    accept and affirm their marriage vows in front of
    Guru Ji
  • During this ceremony the musicians (Raagis) sing
    a shabad (hymn).

I have seen that all relationships are false, and

The Advice to Couple
  • At this point the Granthi Singh (the person who
    reads and explains Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji)
    explains to the the couple the importance of
    married in relation to Gurmat (the Gurus
    teachings) and how through the Gurus teachings
    they can make their life peaceful and happier.
  • The couple are asked whether they have taken
    Amrit (baptism), and if not they are asked to
    agree that in the near future both husband and
    wife will take Amrit and commit themselves to the
    Guru, just as today they have committed
    themselves to one another.

15
The main marriage ceremony
  • Four hymns from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji are
    read to solemnise the Anand Kaaraj (Sikh
    marriage).
  • In these hymns, Guru Raam Daas Ji, the fourth
    Sikh Guru, has described the marriage of the
    individual soul with the Eternal Soul.
  • These four hymns mention four stages in the
    progression of love between spouses and also of
    human souls towards union with the Supreme Soul,
    Vaheguru.

16
  • Marriage is a spiritual journey of one soul in
    two bodies, which needs love, mutual respect,
    mutual trust, mutual adjustment and commitment to
    attain unity with Vaheguru.
  • The essence of the four hymns may be summed in
    the following words - Contemplation of
    Vahegurus Name - Fear of the Immaculate
    Vaheguru - Bairaag and longing of Divine Love -
    Harmony and attainment of Vaheguru
  • Guru Raam Daas Ji mentions that the married life
    should be moulded to the spiritual and ideal
    teachings contained in these hymns.

17
  • During the marriage ceremony, the Granthi recites
    the first Laav (vow).
  • Musicians (Raagis) then sing the same verse,
    while the bride and the groom walk clockwise
    around the Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
  • When the musicians (Raagis) finish singing the
    verse, the bride and the groom bow and sit down.

This protocol is repeated for each of the four
marriage verses.
