Articulate priest. Shri Srinivas Bhattar explains the process and performs the rituals as designed. He is knowledgeable and connects with all age groups. We have requested his services for 2 occasions and will continue going forward.

We were very happy with the service. Explained everything very nicely.

We are working with Mr. Srinivas to help officiate a Hindu-Jewish fusion wedding. He has been great to work with. He is very communicative and knowledgeable and has worked with us to put together a ceremony that we are happy and comfortable with. I would highly recommend his services!

He performed our Gujarati wedding ceremony, he has very good and deep knowledge of hindu rituals. He explained all the Sanskrit shaloka and vidhi in Gujarati in very concise manner. He is very punctual and had carried all the things which needed for the ceremony. very clear and good communication.

Shastriji has deep knowledge and insight of Hindu teachings and systems. Unlike most other priests,he explains thoroughly the significance of each ritual and prayer with complete context and big picture, practical advise. He is extremely professional and with his chants and Pooja our home truly felt raised with positive vibrations and divine energy. We are fortunate to have found him.

Recently Shastri ji performed a grih pravesh puja for us. He was very knowledgeable, came on time and brought most of the puja items. Will inviting pandit Shastriji for next puja

Namaste! Shaastriji is in a class of his own. We never had a specific need for a Hindu priest before and were lucky enough to need one for the happy blessed occasion of a new home Vastu Shanti Havan. We now consider him our family priest, a family well-wisher, and a friend. Clearly, Shaastriji is very qualified in terms of training, knowledge, etc. But what really sets him apart for us is who he is as a person. Throughout the process, from preparation to follow-up, Shaastriji has been approachable, kind, thorough, and a joy to have bless our home. He explained every aspect in ways anyone could understand, no matter the level of understanding of Hindu traditions, and he did so with ease, compassion, and in a loving manner...like you were in the presence of a family elder who wanted the best for you and understood the responsibility of using his knowledge as guidance to teach and involve you. Shaastriji was also very non-judgemental and patient, especially with our dog, who we adore to no end. He wasn't offended by her barking and made sure to bless her as well; she loved the atmosphere created so much that she kept returning to the puja room and sitting where she was during the Havan! The puja is one of our family's best memories; we are happy and blessed that he is part of our new foundation. Long story short, RECOMMEND WITHOUT ANY RESERVATION/HESITATION. May Shaastriji be blessed with a long healthy life continuing to do this work he so clearly loves. God bless! Namaste.

We had two Poojas: Ganapathy Homam and Sathya narayana pooja. Mr Srinivas did a fantastic job not only performing all the rites efficiently but also explaining what each action meant. This was an extremely positive experience. At end of the Pooja the vibes were so positive everyone felt happy and left our homes. Would certainly recommend the services and reach out again for any future occasions.

The best pandit g I ever seen in USA. On time, explain everything abt the puja and mantra. Did a complete set of puja as u saw in india. Never demand or ask extra dakshina or money. Everyone was asking abt him he was tht good. I m going to call him only for any puja at my home. He is d best.

I requested Pandit ji to perform Yagnopavita for me. Pandit ji explained meaning and significance of each Shloka before chanting it. My family joined the pooja from India and they loved the whole procession. They especially like Pandit ji's explanation and clear chanting of mantras. Pandit ji also took care of all the material required for the pooja.

Shastri Ankleshbhai is really Vedic knowledgeable priest, which I was looking for, for my daughter’s wedding and he did an amazing job.

Karthik priest is a very reliable and knowledgeable person. He is very good at what he is doing. I know him for the past 4 years and all pooja in my house is done only by him. You get a great satisfaction when he does the pooja. His pricing for all poojas are very nominal. Always on time.

I have known Manikandan Gurukkal for many years. He provides satisfying religious service.

Very knowledgeable and Practical Priest.

Shaastriji's provided fantastic hindu sanskar for me and my husband doing vow renewal ceremony. He did very good translation in english and brought all supplies. He listened to what we wanted and we felt very blessed. Would highly recommend, especially for mixed audiences.

We are so grateful to work with Shaastriji for performing land warming pooja this week, the site was 100 miles away from DC Shaastriji was on time and set up the initial works and started the pooja in time. Listening to his mantra in Sanskrit, Hindi, and explaining in English was a great experience it gives us peace of mind and comfort. Shaastriji also explained what all the next steps and when it needs to be done. Very experienced and knowledgeable person.

I am very grateful for Shaastriji’s help yesterday for performing Gruhapravesh puja. He is clear in his communication and appreciate that he is very understanding and helpful. It’s been such a hassle free experience. He explained the puja before starting as well as guided me all through the ceremony. Shaastriji is well traveled and practical of the situation of homes in the US and provided alternatives wrt Vaastu. Overall, Shaastriji is easy going, knowledgeable, simple, efficient, flexible and very understanding. I appreciated his guidance and felt good vibes from the blessing and ceremony performed. I recommend Shaastriji any day!! I will continue to reach out to him in the future as well. I wish Shaastriji the very best in all his future pujas.

Pandit Ji performed Puja for me in Manhattan. It was great, and highly recommend him

Excellent & elaborated explaination ind hind & english language. Best ritual services. All guest were amazed with his rituals & loved it . Infact he is coming again to perform a funeral service & pooja for my brother in law who just passed away. Bedt thing is he drives on his own, so convinient for customer who busy with their preparaa as tions.

Shastri ji responded to my text message promptly when I reached out to him for a housewarming pooja in July 2021. Our local Hindu temple priests aren’t yet visiting residential homes due to the COVID protocol but someone recommended to look online. I was so glad I found pandit ji who arrived on time even though it was a 3 hr drive one way and did an elaborate pooja. He didn’t rush anything and spread positive vibes and blessings through his pitch perfect recitation of Sanskrit shlokas. He is knowledgeable about the auspicious dates and timings which was important to my parents and in laws. We talked in Hindi and English and he explained everything about the pooja ceremony to my husband and I clearly. He even graciously clicked pictures for us and recorded a video for us!. It was a pleasure learning about his father and his family lineage as well as his educational background at the Banaras Hindu University. He is one of the most sincere people I have ever met. I won’t hesitate to request his services/blessings for any pooja ceremonies. Highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable. Panditji performed Satyanarayan Pooja for us. Communication was very clear and easy. Panditji accessed our requirement and gave us a list of items required for the pooja. Panditji explained the entire Pooja along with the background. Didn't rush to wrap up but ensured that every step is completed.

Shaastriji's fantastic hindu religious services in English with unique explanations of each and every vidhi. Highly qualified haastriji is very Devine too and we can feel divinity of his services during vidhi. Moreover he bring all material with self driving so zero worry and he give satisfaction guarantee too. I'm sure once his client become his fan fir ever.

Great experience. Pandit ji is awesome, has lot of knowledge and conducted very detailed pooja.

Shaastriji is amazing! We had to cancel our July 4th wedding due to the India travel ban since our parents could not come to US. I told Shaastriji that we are now just going to do a court marriage and not going to re-plan the event again. Shaastriji refunded our deposit without hesitation within a few hours of our phone call. We were impressed since most people would not have done that. Now coming back to the core part. He is extremely methodical and patient. He jumped on to 3 long phone/video calls (first with me, then with my parents and then one more time since my fiance had questions) even before we decided to go with him. Explained the ceremonies in detail. He even had knowledge of the minor differences in customs/ceremonies that different regions of Gujarat have and that made our parents feel very comfortable and confident that everything will happen by the book. He also written docs in English and Gujarati explaining all the ceremonies and for all the items needed for them. I strongly recommend Shaastriji! He truly touched us with his generosity and ethics and we are grateful to him.

We highly recommend Shaastriji Ankleshbhai for any religious wedding, puja, havan, greh pravesh activity! Even before doing our wedding ceremony and grah shanti, he explained every prayer/ mantra and vows in ways we would want to remember He took the time to do everything right and shared the correct vidhi for the puja. He explained the meaning for everything patiently to all of us and made everything very interesting and an enjoyable experience. Thank you so much Shaastriji

Jai Shree Krishna panditji. Thank you so much for making our wedding happen. It was wonderful, timely, descriptive and to the point. I will make sure I hire you again for all the other ceremonies that we need to get done. Thank you panditji again for all your blessings and we hope to see you again soon !!! 10 stars !!

Shastriji performed Rudri puja at our place and it was done very well. He drove 2 hours and still arrived on time in the morning. We're happy and blessed with his presence. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and you all. Thanks!

Shastriji performed my mother in law's funeral in Gujarati. He also explained the process to everyone in English. We were particularly impressed with the resonance in his voice when he said 'Ohm' at the start of the funeral. We asked him to perform the 10th, 11th 12th and 13th day puja as well. He provided us a detailed list of all the items that would be needed and was very courteous in answering all our questions. We were very satisfied with the puja which took 8 to 9 hours in all to perform. He arrived on time and completed the ritual on time as well. He was very thorough, detailed, professional and highly knowledgeable.about our Hindu traditions and rituals. We were very satisfied with his services and wiould highly recommend him.

Srinivas Bhattar performed our wedding ceremony in Dec 2020. He is highly professional, punctual and performed all the rituals in a traditional manner explaining each rituals significance in simple way and making the ceremony interesting, engaging and enjoyable for everyone.

Shaastriji Ankleshbhai was very professional and responsive, responded immediately. Performed pooja in both Gujarati and English and even took time to explained meaning. Great experience I highly recommend.

I was introduced to Shaastriji Ankleshbhai by my fiancé, who has known him for several years. Shaastriji Ankleshbhai is performing our wedding later this year and has spent countless patient hours with us early in the planning process to help us understand the ceremony and to make it most meaningful to us. He has very clear expertise and attention to detail. Though he is very busy, he has shown us that be genuinely cares about us and our marriage union. I am honored for him to be performing the wedding ceremony for my fiancé and me.

Shastriji performed my mother in law's post funeral rituals in Gujarati and English. The list of pooja items are provided way in advance and he was flexible on getting some items for us. His depth of knowledge of Hindu rituals is exceptional. We consulted him on phone many times and he was graciously answering our questions and guided us through the whole ceremonies. The pooja started at the time given to us and concluded on time. We thank you Shastriji for coming to our house and blessing us. I highly recommend Shastriji to anyone who want to perform any type of indian rituals.

My husband and I are so grateful to Shaastriji Anklesh uncle for driving to Long Island, NY to perform a Narayanabali pooja to remove all the evils from our family. He arrived on time and was extremely thorough with the pooja and really took the time to explain the importance of what we were doing. Will definitely use him again for all our religious pooja needs.

Sri Nataraja Srowthigal is our family priest for the last 7 years. From our grihapravesham to ayushomam to many other ceremonies, he has always been ia wonderful priest who helped me with completing every ceremony or puja correctly. Most recently, he helped us complete first year ceremonies (varsha abdigam) for my dad who passed away last year in the proper manner. He is extremely knowledgeable of the Sama and Yajur vedas and he can handle any puja well for you.

Natajan Shrowthigal is our guruji. His knowledge on Vedas is very vast and exceptional. He is extremely proficient in all Vedic rituals and Poojas. He has performed numerous Ekadasha Rudra Poojas and other poojas with shraddha and great devotion. His dedication has inspired many students like me to start learning the vedic chanting including Samavedam, Mahanyasam, Rudram, Chamakam, and Navagraha Sooktham, and much more. Given his knowledge and service to the Vedic community, he has been honored with many awards.  We are really blessed to have Vedic experts like him to guide us in the proper spiritual direction.

Natarajan pandit ji has been doing pooja for us for 5 years now. He tells you the list of things needed for the pooja well in advance so that you can arrange it accordingly. His devotion and proficiency is unmatchable. He has done grih pravesh, sradh, mundan, child naming ceremony, maha mrityunjay jaap for us. All elders in our family truly respect him and are very satisfied with how he does pooja. Highly recommend him.

Natarajan Srowthigal has been our family priest for a long time now. He is eminently qualified and provides excellent, personalized service. He performed our son's Upanayanam, and countless poojas. He was also a pillar of support to guide us through all the rituals when I lost my mother-in-law and father-in-law. I highly recommend him for all the priestly needs. He also provides tutoring services for anyone looking to start/continue their vedic studies.

Brahmasri Natarajanji is a well renowned scholar and aligned with the Vedic tradition. He has performed Ekadasa Rudram at our house and many other friends’ houses. It’s so peaceful. Namaskarams ??

Srinivas Garu is really dedicated and does it with devotion, very patient and cheering personality.

I have known Priest Natarajan (Brahmasri Nataraja Srowthigal) for over 3 years and he is our guruji here in NJ for all religious events and ceremonies, from Avaniavittam to Rudrabhishekam and Graha Shanti. Natarajan mama is extremely proficient in all vedic hymns, chants, rituals and pujas., He comes from an illustrious and long vedic tradition of over 40 years, in both India and US. He is well acquainted with both North and South Indian customs and can easily transcend regional boundaries (Tamil/Telugu/Kannada etc) owing to his linguistic capabilities. We had requested his services recently for Ekadasha Rudha Yagnam, which is an extremely powerful set of vedic mantras invoking Lord Shiva. The entire event, was conducted with utmost pious dedication and devotion, thanks to Natarajan Mama. He had clearly advised us what all pooja items were needed and what he will be bringing. I really appreciated the clarity of communication and upfront estimate of the time that will be taken for the event. We had also invited several guests to participate in this homam and they were all mesmerized by the power of the mantras and the fluency with which Guruji chanted them. We also had arranged for sanskrit/tamil/english version of the texts so that all interested people could follow it as he chanted. It was a memorable event, especially since my parents were visiting from India. I would definitely recommend Priest Natarajan for any event in your house or community anywhere in NJ.

Sri Natarajan priest is very proficient in performing various Hindu Poojas, Rituals, and ceremonies. He has been providing his services in different language for many years with dedication. We feel blessed to have people like him around us to accompany in the most important ceremonies of our life.

I have been using natarajan mama’s services for 15 years for our pooja needs. His shraddha is unmatched.

Best priest and pooja service. Great experience. Highly recommended for all... Genuine astrologer in Virginia... Best Indian destination panditji for wedding services in the USA.

He told me Astrology. It was exact 100%. I did not expect someone to tell me everything by kundali. He did puja regarding dosha for my kundali. He says everything straightforward regarding Astrology, doesn't at all butter about it. I really like the puja and astrology. Prefer him for Astrology.

Pandit Radha felt that Amazing! Highly recommend it!

Srinivasa Bhattar has performed Ramar Pattabhishekam pooja/Homam at our home two years in a row. The knowledge, concentration and shradha he brings to the ceremonies inspired my family and all our friends to a pony where the emails of praise for his poojas - keep coming! Last year was a troubled year where we were worried about several people's health. The Navarathri pooja conducted by Bhattarji brought peace of mind and hope to all of us. Mystically and miraculously, everything improved . This year, we invited our friends to participate in the pooja. Starting with sankalpam, then abhishekam and honoring of Sri Rama, progressing to the recitation of the suktams and the Taiyreyam, the Pattabhishekam of the divine couple - the entire ceremony was just wonderful! My humblest Pranams to Bhattarswamy!

Hi, We had the opportunity to have Srinivas bhatter as our family priest and a very good friend for few years now. He has blessed our family through many occasions right from house warming, satyanaran pooja to baby's naming ceremony and ayushya homam. He has made every such occasion feel divine and blessed. We wish to continue being blessed with great divinity for many more years... Regards Prithi & Vijay

Our experience with Sri Srinivas Garu has been an absolute delight. He is a very warm and kind person with extremely good knowledge about all the religious practices and procedures. The services provided by him are highly divine. Even a discussion with him about any questions or concerns we might have regarding the religious texts are extremely spell binding and enlightening. We have had several pujas performed by him in the past and we would not ever think of anyone else for our religious needs. We highly recommend him and can confidently say it's truly an enriching experience to be associated with him.
