Best Indian Religious Services in Paupack, PA

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.

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.

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.

Shashtriji did great baby shower pooja/vidhi for us in our home and explained whole process in simple words.highly recommend him and very professional.thank you Shashtriji for your blessings and pooja vidhi in our home.

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.

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.
