When the sun is setting in the night sky, where daylight lives no more, but instead gives way to night
The splendour of this transition – everlasting
He will enter my Home, my great abode – and all of Time and Fate will stand witness to the Union of
Shiva and Parvati
As the Sun shines bright, He himself will walk up the grand steps of this too – his Home. And we will remake our vows once again – in front of all our family and friends.
ShivShakti – Hum Phirse Ho Gaya
And there will be drums and music as he comes in with dancing in the crowds – whether celestial beings dancing or physical with those who are present – it is hard to tell.
Our Guruji will welcome Him and Our Fathers will embrace.
We’ve made it.
Finally.
Our Mother will greet him along with our sister…
Clear the way for him to enter… with our son at his side… leading the way inside.
Ghar More Pardesiya…
Aao padharo piya…
Where he goes as he waits for me to arrive.
For He is Him too,
The one who is performing the wedding ceremony of Shiva and Shakti
Our Father.
I come out in yellow – the saree of Saraswati Maa.
As she has been granted from all her tapasya as She prays to Her Mother for the blessing of marrying
Shiva
And asking Lord Ganesh to clear the way – thanking him as he had always said…
Dulahin Ki Saat Aayay Ga
And it was him that played her way into the prayer hall…
Krishnaaa! I am at your door!
And as the prayers to the Goddess completes, She is played out of the hall with the same beautiful song
Calling… Oh Krishna!
Ghar More Pardesiya… Aao padharo piya…
As the tassa plays and the King
Enters the hall…
With his beloved family…
All the way he said
And they will always follow.
To the mandap he goes to be greeted and blessed and treated as the King he is…
Vishnu has arrived for his Lakshmi… his
Queen
And so she arrives with Her Brothers and Her Fathers guiding her all the way, they promised to bring Her Home…
This was the way –
All the way Home
As she looks at Her beautiful, handsome Shiva
And knows… She has made it once more.
All the way… just a few steps more until they are complete…
Until they are whole
The Queen has arrived
As promised, delivered by her brothers and her fathers… directly
to Her
King of the Light
Night reigns no longer…
Din Shagna …
And so, the steps of becoming One in all forms – body, mind and soul – are performed as she whispers in her vow she has kept every step of the way without fail,
I vow to love and cherish you for all of the rest of our days and even beyond that – till the end of time, in body mind and soul – for all of eternity, may we always Be as One.
Shiva and Shakti.
♾️
As he responds to her in turn.
Knots are tied and mangal sutras placed…
Most of all the sindoor upon her part
Malas exchanged and rings gifted…
Such is the marriage ceremony of ShivShakti
And by the end of the tears of joy, Aashirvaad by all the souls who helped them to finally – Become One in all ways and forms.
And to the tassa they leave the hall in complete and pure
Victory
As he drives her
Home
Where she is welcomed by the ones who cared for her all along…
With his family
She changes into her white dress
Now it is finally safe
With her husband in his new suit… Batman no more
But
Shiva
And they dance, and they celebrate, and they love …
With cake and first dances and games…
Out into the star lit night as we head to The Old Mill… with fireworks exploding in colour and celebration in the night…when Shiva and Shakti Become One.
Om Shanti
This family will be
The Happily Ever After…
And so, we shall Always Be One,
In Harmony and Peace…
For the Coming of The Devi,
Shakti.
