AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What is the symbolism of Indian marriage?

To walk together hand in hand with the fire of aspiration in the centre. Fire is in centre not the ego or anybody else.

The fire in Indian system represents the energy of progress, the Godward aspiration and at the highest level the Divine Will. The seven rounds together around the central fire represents the joining together on the seven planes of existence, that is to say, physical, sensuous, emotional, intellectual, psychic, spiritual and the Eternal.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
