And, it does not matter if the boy asks the girl or the girl asks the boy first. In fact, and especially in the current situation, if the girl asks the boy first, it is an advantage, a big plus for the relationship to grow up well and healthy and nicely. Shilpi's friend noted happily that "and it was an Indian girl who asked Him". Yes, Okay. And, there is a lesson here, I think for everyone, for all of us, the girl, the boy, the parents, everyone. Jai Ho. Jayavaagali. JayahE. Best Wishes. Aummm...

Thanks for the audio call here yesterday. It was a pleasure to talk to you. And, as I mentioned, although it is not easy, I need to keep going forward, asking for people all over the world, to help, as I have been doing for some years now, like 8 to 10 years or so perhaps. And my younger son Shilpi's wedding was enabled because of such efforts. And as one of Shilpi's friends told me on the occasion of his wedding last year in Portland OR, it happened, it was "enabled", it was made possible because it was the girl who asked the boy if he would marry her, whereas typically in the American or Western society, the boy is expected to ask the girl such question and the marriage happens if she says Yes. Even among Indian youth here, the boys feel or want to be able to find their own brides in such fashion, like it is a question of their abilities and manliness. We all have to recognize that today's youngsters are growing up in a very different type of environment compared to previous generations. And all that matters in that the both the boy and the girl have to agree, have to talk to each other, must like each other, be willing to support each other, and if they are happy and wish to go ahead, we and parents like us are happy, since we like them to have a happy family life, and we bless, we try to provide any needed help if possible etc. And, it does not matter if the boy asks the girl or the girl asks the boy first. In fact, and especially in the current situation, if the girl asks the boy first, it is an advantage, a big plus for the relationship to grow up well and healthy and nicely. Shilpi's friend noted happily that "and it was an Indian girl who asked Him". Yes, Okay. And, there is a lesson here, I think for everyone, for all of us, the girl, the boy, the parents, everyone. Jai Ho. Jayavaagali. JayahE. Best Wishes. Aummm...
