The note accompanying the post further translated into English, reads, "Time filled with joy passes so quickly that one does not even realise when it went by. It feels as though it was just yesterday, and now, while watching, 25 years of marriage with my beloved Renuka ji have been completed."
He further added, "Based on my experience of spending 25 years with respected Renuka ji, I can say that marriage does not change one another's personalities, rather it helps expand and refine them. For a happy married life, it is not just love between husband and wife that is important, but also mutual respect. Marriage is a divine bond that helps both individuals grow and evolve together."
He further wrote, "It teaches a man and a woman that âhalf the world is yours and the other half too can become yours if you learn how to embrace togetherness."
Ashutosh Rana further wrote, "Just like the place where two rivers meet is considered sacred, similarly, in our way of life, marriage too becomes a sacred union. After marriage, two different consciousnesses become companions forever and slowly transform from duality into oneness."
He added, "The blessings of revered Guru Dadaji, parents, family members and loving friends are the foundation of our lives. I am filled with gratitude towards the divine for giving me and my beloved Renuka ji the opportunity to become companions, followers and fellow travellers in each other's life journey."
