Best Indian Religious Services in New York, NY

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!

Best decision ever! Our most important vendor for our wedding was the officiant because we needed someone that could beautifully illustrate our interfaith love story. Dr. Mike Ghouse did just that! He brought together our Islamic and Christian faiths in a way our wedding guests were completely blown away by. Both faiths were represented in his sermon and prayers beautifully. Dr. Mike Ghouse was extremely professional in everything he did and was attentive from start to finish. Above all, he was a joy to work and extremely pleasant and positive. We HIGHLY recommend him for any couple searching for an interfaith officiant. He will make your special day memorable for years to come.

Dr. Ghouse made the ceremony cheerful, comforting and participatory. Promoting diversity and pluralism is his motivation

Dr Mike Ghouse has officiated several weddings that I have been a part of. His service, his values and the beauty he brings to any wedding is absolutely inspiring. Attending a wedding officiated by him truly reminds the beauty and the significance of marriage.

I hold him in highest regard and recommend him to everyone

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ratna felt that Very good!

Pandit Radha is really good!! What ever he does its with great devotion..!! Amazing person with a great knowledge of all the rituals.!! Highly recommend him..

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

He always brings and leaves tons of positive vibrations.

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.

Nithyavibhuthi.. the name itself energizes us to the peak on the divine eagerness to feel the presence of Vaikunta Narayana.
