THE VEDIC WEDDING SERVICE FOR YOGA PEOPLE

The elements of water, fire and flower offering come together with Sanskrit prayer, in the ancient art of authentic Vedic Brahman water temple blessing and rite of marriage ceremony.

For your wedding day by way of service, Swami Hamsa brings a complete and authentic quality of the divine to your wedding ceremony. She offers a contemporary Vedic style and a soft Devi energy to your 45-min -1hr western yogic wedding service.

Including Vedic flower water blessing, the ceremony is for yoga couples who would prefer to be married by an experienced Swami, rather than someone from the Christian tradition, which is more available in the West.

Swami Hamsa brings an element of enchantment to the aspect of sacred union within matrimonial rites. She has a touching and inspirational way, with a supportive, clear speaking voice and attention to detail.

The use of water is by way of a sacred blessing bowl, or wild water, if your marriage ceremony is to be held outside. Flower offerings or petals, Sanskrit prayer and a small sacred flame, known as an Artii lamp, will all be traditionally used, as part of the service Swami Hamsa offers.

This is a beautifully rounded and compassionate bespoke service,

held with grace and power.

The happy couple are invited to design the finer details of their wedding ceremony, including any integration with other traditions, and if they wish, to write their own wedding vows; Swami Hamsa is happy to advise on this.

Swami Hamsa is available April ~ October yearly
