Dear BhakthAs:

Although there are many matrimonial related information
sites , I have taken the liberty of creating yet another 
by name : kanya  Daanam/

The description of the new group is: A Meeting place for
the parents and relatives of VaishNavite boys and girls 
to exchange information on prospective brides and 
bridegrooms . A site, where forward minded VaishNavites 
come together to build families without the unwelcome /recent
cruel tradition of Dowries and similar monetary considerations 
that humiliate the vivAham/kanyA daanam processes these days.

You can post messages to this group by sending mail to:
 
sadagopan10510@yahoogroups.com

I will serve as the Moderator/owner of this group.

In the good old days, the prospective bridegrooms 
had to beg for a suitable kanyA's hand for marriage
frorm the father of the girl after completing his VedAdhyayanam. 

The following article on the Veda manthrams relating
to the nobility of the marriage ceremony was written by 
adiyEn during December 1995.That would provide the context
for Vedic wedding :

Alternatively , You can access the same article under another URL:

http://www.geocities.com/vinodsrivatsanparthasarathy/marriageritual.htm

Please refer to SrImathi KalyANi KrishNamAchAri's posting on ANDAL"s
VaaraNamAyiram Paasurams for the Tamil renditions of our ThAyAr
about these Veda Manthrams connected with VivAham.

Please use this site as a meeting place for the bachelors
and kanyAs through their parents and relatives for the auspicious
purpose of  entering grahasthAsramam with every respect
accorded to the kanyA and her parents without being 
side tracked by other considerations.
