Question 1

I want to apply for marriage. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

• First of all please verify the local process (including any locally required documentation) with your local/country/marriage coordinator.
 • In order to apply, you will need to register on the marriage portal.
 • Your coordinator will have to request access for you by providing your details.
 • After access request is approved, you will receive an email which will guide you with steps to setup your profile and account registration (SY-ID).
 • After your profile is created you will be able to sumbit a marriage application through the platform by logging in, and clicking on the link "Marriage Application" in the home page.

Question 2

Should I register on the website if I'm unsure to apply?

Accepted Answer

We advise yogis and yoginis to register on the platform and create their profile (SY-ID), even though they are unsure whether to apply, so that, when a decision is taken, the process will be quicker.
 
In any case by creating a profile you are not bound in any way to apply, and will eventually be able to apply for future ceremonies if you so desire.

Question 3

I have no local coordinator, what should I do?"

Accepted Answer

Please reach out to your state or country coordinator or both for requesting access to the portal and for requesting approval of your submitted form.

Question 4

What is a SY-ID? Why do we need it?

Accepted Answer

The SY-ID is the identifier that represents your profile on the marriage portal. The SY-ID is used throughout the portal records (by IMC team) and identifies you uniquely as a yogi/yogini wishing to apply to Sahaja marriages.
 
You have to create your profile and get your SY-ID only once, and apply to different marriage ceremonies with the same ID. 
 
The SY-ID is also used to ensure your privacy in email communications.
