Hinduism Today: Modern Method Match-Making
Our Hinduism Today, October/November/December 2010 edition, Educational Insight this time explores a new trend in matchmaking. The two models that once clashed--arranged marriage and do-as-you-please dating--are merging into something that can be called “arranged dating.” Parents meet and approve a daughter’s suitor, and then the couple embarks on the Western dating path, with all its implications and hazards. Plus we take a look at online resources for finding a life partner.

Commentary on Merging with Siva, The Master Course, Lesson 21.
