Globalization is the current mantra on everybody's lips. As a result Bengalis are coming in contact with all nationalities of this world. A Bengali boy or girl meets a girl or a boy from another cultural background, they fall in love and want to get married. The first thought that goes through their mind is a magnificent wedding with all the fanfare and rituals that they have grown up with in a typical Bengali Hindu family. They want this type of wedding but in a shorter version with translations and explanation of all the mantras and vows that are written in Sanskrit. This book attempts just that. All the sequences of a Hindu wedding are followed with the principal mantras and vows included but followed with explanation of the Sanskrit text in clear lucid English for the benefit of both the bride and the groom and all the invited guests. In a typical Indian wedding the wedding takes place in a remote corner in front of a priest and the parents and all the guests are blissfully unconcerned about the proceedings because the whole process is never explained. The purpose of this book is to involve the guests and have their full attention and participation in the proceeding as normally happens in the West.
