A Match Made In Heaven

Can a human being marry a god? There are a few gods who are brahmachari, bachelors—why is that? Devis are called kumaris—are they brahmachari? Why are most of our gods married? How many wives does Vishnu really have? And our gods are polygamous but our society is not . . . why? Vivaah is meant to be a metaphysical union of the body and the soul, but our gods also love and marry as we do. With compelling love stories and thoughtful interpretations of the societal movements from polygamy to monogamy, we find here a rare insight into the personal lives of the gods themselves and the concept of marriage through the ages. Join Devdutt on a lovely romp through the deeper meaning of sanskaari romance in India through the ages with this short, sweet read from Devlok.
