Description

Arjak Vivah Geet Mala by Ramswaroop Verma

“Arjak Vivah Geet Mala” is a culturally transformative and ideologically rooted compilation by Ramswaroop Verma, designed as a rationalist alternative to traditional, caste-based Hindu wedding rituals. This unique book is not just a collection of wedding songs—it is a political and social statement, an assertion of humanist values over Brahminical superstition.

In a society where wedding ceremonies are tightly controlled by caste hierarchy, religious dogma, and priestly dominance, this book presents a radical departure. It arms Bahujan society with dignified, non-ritualistic, and rational alternatives to celebrate marriage without Brahmin, without mantras, without idol worship—and yet with grace, music, emotion, and philosophy.

🎵 What Is “Arjak Vivah Geet Mala”?

It is a curated collection of wedding songs (geet) that reflect the Arjak ideology—a movement founded by Ramswaroop Verma that promotes atheism, equality, and scientific temper. These songs are meant to be sung during Arjak weddings, which are performed without rituals, dowry, or pandits, strictly based on equality and mutual consent.

📖 Contents & Themes

Each song is loaded with meaning—crafted to reject superstition and celebrate rational love and companionship. Major themes include:

Equality of partners (no kanya daan, no giving away the bride)

Mutual respect, not religious obligation

Condemnation of dowry and caste-based barriers

Emphasis on labor, humanity, and ethics

Celebration of natural, human bonds

💥 Why Is It Revolutionary?

Most Indian marriages, even today, are dominated by Brahminical customs, where the bride is “given away,” and priests conduct the marriage invoking gods, planets, and karmic debts. These rituals often:

Reinforce caste

Promote patriarchy

Enslave logic to superstition

Arjak Vivah Geet Mala smashes this structure and proposes a new aesthetic of marriage—rooted in humanism, reason, and dignity. These songs are sung not to please gods, but to express emotions, ethics, and collective joy.

🎤 Language and Tone

The songs are written in simple Hindi-Awadhi—accessible to common people. They are emotional, lyrical, but never mystic. There is no Sanskritized jargon, no religious coding, no astrological nonsense. The tone is celebratory yet grounded, warm yet subversive.

🧠 Ideological Foundation
The Geet Mala is based entirely on Manavvaad (Humanism). There is no concept of paap (sin), punya (virtue), or karma-based hierarchy. Verma believes that weddings should celebrate human love, not divine contracts or ritualistic debts.

📌 Why You Should Read It

If you:

Oppose casteism

Believe in love and equality

Want a wedding free from religious domination

Wish to create new traditions rooted in reason

Then Arjak Vivah Geet Mala is not just a book—it’s your cultural toolkit. It empowers marginalized communities to reclaim the right to celebrate without shame or submission.
