Shatpadi Stotra/षट्पदी स्तोत्र

Shatpadi Stotra (षट्पदी स्तोत्र): One of the 16 sacraments is a ritual marriage, Marriage in Hinduism is considered as the most prominent among the 16 rituals. Many traditions are played in marriage. During marriage, the bride and groom have to adhere to many traditions, seven of them are in the seventh and seven are prominent. During marriage, the bride asks 7 verses from her groom. Only after that marriage is considered complete Marriage only after seven verses.

Hindu marriage act takes Shatpadi as the basis of Hindu marriage; any marriage though performed with Hindu system among Hindus may not be termed as a Hindu marriage legally if Shatpadi was not performed. If you go through the text and meaning you will find that it is  fully relevant even in today’s date,100% applicable Vedic wisdom. What exactly is Shatpadi: Shatpadi is a concise set of seven promises by husband and wife at the time of marriage. It defines the roles, duties and rights as husband and wife.

If you go through the meaning of each promise you will realize the intelligence of Vedic people, it’s sad that in these so called modern age we lack such intelligence. My idea to put up all these things here is to highlight a very basic fault which has stepped into social mindset- duties of husband and wife towards sustenance of marriage, in absence of clear guidelines from society and parents, in a society which treats any reference to our age old traditions as being old fashioned 18th century human, we are becoming less aware of human values, this trend is more prevalent in Hindus.

Marriage transforms one’s entire life-style and creates a whole new realm of duties, obligations, privileges and joys. Firstly it is important to bear in mind that a Hindu marriage is not merely a particular contractile arrangement between two consenting adults. It is the union of two entire families and many of the rites in the wedding ceremony stress this important fact. This publication is intended to give the reader a complete background to all the major events and considerations in an orthodox Hindu Marriage. Like everything to do with India it’s terribly complex! I shall endeavour to make it as simple as possible.
