When his family stood against me

I loved him deeply, but his family didn’t accept me. The reasons were many—different community, different city, even small habits became arguments. They pushed him to choose: “Her or us.” For weeks, we fought. He felt torn, I felt unwanted. I was ready to walk away, believing love wasn’t strong enough against family pressure.

A friend whispered, “Before you give up, talk to Dayaram ji.” I hesitated—how could someone outside change such a personal fight? But on our first call, Daya Sir said something I’ll never forget: “Love doesn’t have to be rebellion; it can become inclusion.” That gave me hope.

He began a 7–11 day process for us, explaining that while he worked through the Yagya, we needed to hold certain disciplines at home. He guided us to stop confronting his parents every day and instead, show steadiness—respect without surrender. He even spoke to his father directly, not to argue, but to listen. For the first time, they felt heard instead of challenged.

Day by day, the sharp edges softened. His mother, who once refused to even see me, began asking about my work through him. His father started questioning less and listening more. By the end of the process, the pressure shifted from “end it” to “let’s talk calmly.” A miracle? Maybe. Or maybe it was the dignity and patience Pandit Ji infused into our approach.

We’re still on our journey, but the door that was once shut is now open. And when a door opens, you walk through with care, not haste. That’s what we are doing now—together.
