Laavaan and Anand Sahib (English): Sikh Wedding (Anand Karaj): A Spritual Union (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246965962)

The marriage occasion, when our society is increasingly indulged in just dancing, intoxication, excessive eating and drinking, and other self-centered behaviors, the Anand Karaj becomes an opportunity for the bride and groom to sit before the Guru and, through the wisdom of the Laavan, make a resolve to bring those divine virtues into their lives. As a result, their married life can be lived in peace and bliss.
The word "Anand" (Bliss) in Gurbani is distinct from these temporary joys. Anand is that happiness which is eternal.
Since every external pleasure tied to the body does not last forever (as we now understand), Anand is completely separate from these external forms of happiness.

The Bani "Anand" by the third Nanak, Guru Amar Das Sahib Ji, in Raag Ramkali, is about that everlasting happiness.
What is Anand? How does one attain Anand? Where does it come from?
What things pull us away from Anand?
To understand all these questions, it's essential to understand this Bani - "Anand."
