Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive and unique guide on how to write one's own wedding vows. In the U.S. alone, there are over 2.4 million weddings every year -- and no two will be exactly alike. Yet whatever the differences, the exchanging of vows is often the most anticipated and memorable moment in the ceremony. Personalizing one's wedding vows is a growing trend in America, but it can be a very stressful experience. This book will help couples by answering some essential questions in preparing for their ceremony: How much of your religion's traditional vows should you include? Is your favorite poem appropriate for the setting you are in, or should you just memorize a couple of lines? Are you stuck on what to say after "I knew you were the one the moment we met?" Are your favorite Led Zeppelin song lyrics an appropriate expression of how you feel about your fiance? Should you share your vows at the rehearsal?

Download or read book 7 Vows of Hindu Marriage written by Dr Timothy Kessington and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is a combination of different views, beliefs, faiths, and customs. Here, the energetic residents follow similarly abundant rituals and their nuptials are rather lavish full of pomp and splendour. Without any question, Hindu nuptials would top the mentioned list of flamboyants. But, the seven vows of Hindu marriage performed before 'Agni' or fire are regarded as the most holy and unbreakable in Hindu Books of law and traditions. As indicated before, a Hindu marriage is a solemn and extensive process containing many essential ceremonies and rites which may last over many days. But, the holy seven vows which are fulfilled on the day of the marriage itself, are important to the Hindu weddings. A Hindu wedding is incomplete without the saptapadi vows. Let's acquire a deeper knowledge of these Hindu Wedding vows. The Hindu marriage vows are not much different from the marriage oath/vows made by brides and grooms before the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit at Christian weddings. The would-be husbands and wives are supposed to repeat the seven vows while taking seven circles phrases around the Holy Fire or Agni. The priest explains the importance of each commitment to the young couple and urges them to implement these marriage vows in their lives after they merge as a pair. These seven vows of a Hindu marriage are also known as Saptha Padhi and they encompass all the components and customs of marriage. They consist of pledges which the bride and the groom make to each other in the presence of a priest while revolving around a holy flame in honour of the fire deity 'Agni'. These customary Hindu vows are nothing but marital commitments made by the couple to one another. Such vows or pledges build an invisible tie between the couple as they recite the promising words for a happy and fruitful life together. The seven vows of Hindu marriage embody marriage as a symbol of purity and the uniting of two different persons as well as their society and culture. In this rite, the couple exchange vows of love, responsibility, respect, fidelity, and a fruitful marriage where they commit to remain partners forever. These vows are spoken in Sanskrit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the driving forces behind your marriage and your interpersonal relationships? Would you like to connect with your partner on a deeper level and further enrich your marriage? If so, When Heaven Meets Earth is a great starting point. Inspired by her 35 years of experience in counseling, her several presentations in India and the U.S. on marriage and interpersonal relationships, and her extensive research on marriage and family, Dr. Singhal describes the skills and practices necessary to create a well-functioning and lasting partnership through the lens of the seven Hindu marriage vows. Though these promises were crucial rituals in her own wedding, it wasn’t until decades later that she realized their inherent wisdom. Singhal has expounded on these vows in this book, enriching them with stories from her own marriage and the partnerships of her clients, family and friends. She makes the case that the value of these vows is relevant even in the 21st century and all over the world, arguing that a meaningful marriage is founded on the universal ideals of mutual respect, commitment, trust and the union of two souls. “Swarna’s curiosity for the original meanings of vows takes us on a journey to ancient India and back. She applies traditional beliefs and wisdom to today’s real worlds. Seeking that clarity heightens our appreciation of life, love and self-worth. It’s a recipe for all that seek to be loved deep into our core. A nurturing must-read for all!” - Darshi Shah, CNT/Author, RIGHT Diet for Autoimmunity

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering book, in turns poetic and philosophical, Nagapriya shows how the insights into the existential condition offered by Shinran can transform our understanding of what Buddhist practice consists in, and what it means to awaken to our ultimate concern. Shinran (1173 – 1263) is one of the most important thinkers of Japanese Buddhist history, and founder of the Jōdo Shinshū Pure Land school. Nagapriya explores Shinran’s spirituality and teachings through close readings, confessional narrative, and thoughtful interpretation. This book is an invitation to reimagine Shinran’s religious universe, not for the sake of historical curiosity, but as an exercise that has the potential to remake us in the light of our ultimate concerns.

Download or read book Strip Cultures written by The Project on Vegas The Project on Vegas and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Las Vegas Strip, blockbuster casinos burst out of the desert, billboards promise "hot babes," actual hot babes proffer complimentary drinks, and a million happy slot machines ring day and night. It’s loud and excessive, but, as the Project on Vegas demonstrates, the Strip is not a world apart. Combining written critique with more than one hundred photographs by Karen Klugman, Strip Cultures examines the politics of food and water, art and spectacle, entertainment and branding, body and sensory experience. In confronting the ordinary on America’s most famous four-mile stretch of pavement, the authors reveal how the Strip concentrates and magnifies the basic truths and practices of American culture where consumerism is the stuff of life, digital surveillance annuls the right to privacy, and nature—all but destroyed—is refashioned as an element of decor.
