Namaste,
Thank you for taking the time to educate me with the actual ancient text. I really appreciate it.
But the God Himself is above any categories. If His marriage does not fit into any of the neatly compartmentalized boxes, perhaps it should be left alone; at least not dragged down to a rakshas level because of the burning desire of the interpreters to cage Him into one of the eight categories. None of our ancient seers would have thought that one day, we mortals would be having a serious discourse about confining the marriage of God Himself into an airtight box. Divine marriages exemplify Respect, Love and Devotion; and they are not about dependence, lust or sexual pleasure. So, I would learn what I can from the Divine unions and stay away from using my puny intellect to push them into one of the defined categories.
I think I have said enough on this topic and I am going to move on with it.
Pranam.
