All preparations have been completed for the wedding, which will take place in a marriage hall in Shivpuri. Martin from Switzerland and Ulrike from Germany will marry according to Indian customs. The couple was inspired by a spiritual saint, Guruji Dr. Raghuveer Singh Gaur, and came to Shivpuri with great enthusiasm for their wedding.

All necessary preparations for their Indian-style wedding have been completed. Currently, Martin and Ulrike are staying in Shivpuri with Gaur. Martin Amvaston, a 45-year-old compliance officer in legal audit from Zurich, Switzerland, said he connected with Guruji five years ago through social media.

Initially, he sought online guidance on meditation from Guruji. He then immersed himself in spirituality under Guruji's guidance and started visiting India for mental peace.
