Vivaha Mantras , Vivaha rituals, their meanings and Significance ( Based on Yaajusha Mantra Prasna - Ekaagni Kaandam) in easy to understand Tamil, written by Sri Vaishnava Sri Krishnamachari. An Eye opener for those who are to be married according to Vedic rituals.The How and Why of each and every ritual performed in a Vedic wedding is explained in this book.Though all Sri Vaishnavas and Smarthas perform weddings for their children hardly 5% of them know the actual meaning and significance of a marriage ritual.Even the Vadhyar swamys ( except a small %age) themselves do not know why they utter a particular mantra.No doubt they perform the marriage rituals, but most of them do it as a routine like an automaton.Sri Vaishnava Sri Krishnamachari swamy opines that very many newly married couples marriages fail and end in Divorces because neither the parents nor the bride and groom understand the significane of the various marriage rituals and they just utter or mouth sync ( lip sync) the mantras ( which ought to be felt and uttered) just because the Vadhyar ( veda vadhyar, vadhiyar swamy, the priest performing the marriage ) says so without realising that the mantras and rituals ought to be uttered / performed for their own well being and divorce free happy married life.
