Ashutosh Rana, Renuka Shahane exchange garlands on 25th anniversary
Fans love Ashutosh and Renuka for the love and affection they share and the respect they show for each other. The couple wrote a beautiful note to express their love for each other as they renewed their wedding vows. It said, "Full time flies fast with Aanand, we don't even realise when it passes, seems like it was yesterday. Today, as I look back, it has been 25 years since the marriage of my beloved Renuka.
Joyful time goes fast, One hardly knows when it goes. It feels like just yesterday I married my beloved Renuka ji and today it is 25 years.
The note continued: "Aadarniya Renuka ji ke saath beete 25 varshon ke anubhav ke aadhar par kehta hoon ki vivaah ek doosre ke vyaktitva ko badalne ka nahin balki ek doosre ke vyaktitva ko badhane, parishkrit karne ka karya karta hai. Sukhi vaivahik jeevan ke liye pati patni ka ek doosre ke liye maatr prem hi nahin apitu paraspar sammaan bhi aavashyak hota hai. Vivaah ek doosre ke nistaar aur vistaar mein sahaayak hone wali divya ghatna hai jo stree aur purush ko yeh samjhaane mein sahaayak hoti hai ki “Aadhi duniya aapki aur aadhi duniya aapki. Daanv lagaana seekh lo to saari duniya aapki.”
(From these 25 years with Renuka ji, I believe that marriage is not about changing our personalities but enriching and refining them. For happy married life love is essential but respect for each other is also necessary. Marriage is a sacred union that leads two souls to grow and raise each other, and teaches them that: “Half of the world is yours, and half is your partner’s. (If you learn to accept both, then the whole world is yours.)"
It could be further read: "Jis sthaan par do nadiyaan aapas mein milti hain jahaan unka sangam hota hai, vah sthaan pavitra teerth maana jaata hai. Vaise hi varnashram vyavastha mein grihasthaashram bhi teerth ki bhaanti hota hai. Kyonki vivaah ke pashchaat do bhinn chetnaayein agni ko saakshi maankar ek doosre se sada ke liye abhinn ho jaati hain, unka dvait bhaav samaapt hokar advait mein roopaantarit ho jaata hai.
(The point where two rivers meet is considered holy. Married life too is likewise a pilgrimage. After marriage two different souls become one forever in the presence of the sacred fire and their sense of duality turns into oneness."
"Parampoojya Gurudev Bhagwan Daddaji ki kripa, mata-pita, parijanon ke aashirvaad evam snehi mitron ki shubhkaamna-sadbhaavna hi hamare jeevan ka aadhey hai. Main us paramsatta ke prati anugrah ke bhaav se bhara hua hoon jisne mujhe aur parampriya Renuka ji ko apni jeevan yatra mein ek doosre ka sahgaami, anugaami aur agragaami banne ka avsar pradaan kiya. Kripa bani rahe. Saadar pranam.
(The blessings of Gurudev Bhagwan Daddaji, our parents, family members, and the goodwill of dear friends are the true foundation of our lives. I am filled with gratitude towards the supreme power that gave me and my beloved Renuka ji the opportunity to walk together in life as companions, supporters, and guides for one another. May this grace always remain upon us. Respectful regards)", it concluded. Take a look:
