Best Indian Religious Services in Philadelphia, PA

Pundit Girija Shankar Pathak ji performed navagrah pooja and hawan for griha pravesh ceremony at my house. This was our best experience in last 25 years, he is simple, patient and so knowledgeable. He performs every ritual with such obvious honesty, it makes you feel blessed.

Thank you Pundit ji. Aapne bahut hi man se aur vidhi ke anusar pooja karai. Your simple conversations with kids and quick explanations had them involved. Thank you so much for your patience, even though you had a long drive back. Aap se milkar bahut achcha laga

Pandit Girija Shankar Pathak ji performed Mundan havan and Pooja in our home for our little daughter. He was very patient in explaining all the rituals in the Pooja and we are very happy with his service. He was patient in answering all our questions, especially the ones asked by my 6 year old. Highly appreciate that he travelled from NJ to PA. Highly recommend!

We recently had the privilege of having Pandit Ji Girija Shankar Pathak to perform both our Bhoomi Poojan and Griha Pravesh ceremonies. His deep knowledge of Vedic rituals, calm demeanor, and detailed explanations made the entire experience truly spiritual and fulfilling. He arrived on time, brought all the necessary samagri, and guided us step by step with patience and devotion. The mantras were chanted with such clarity and energy that we felt a divine presence in our home. He also made sure our family understood the significance of each ritual, which made the ceremonies even more meaningful. Thank you, Pandit Ji, for your blessings and for helping us begin this new chapter with such positive energy and spiritual grace. We feel truly grateful and highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and kind priest.

We really appreciated your time and blessings. Everyone like pooja so much. Thank you once again.

It was a great experience getting our Bhoomi Pooja ritual done by Pandit Girija Shankar Pathak ji. He religiously worked on every ritual dedicating time and effort. In an era where every Hindu Pooja is completed within 30 minutes in the US, Pandit jee took time explaining the importance of each ritual and completed each of those with his full attention and detail. We learned a lot about our culture. We look forward to having him for another Pooja soon!

Thank you very much for performing the pooja with such devotion and precision on the occassion of my newborn baby’s chola ceremony. Your guidance, mantras, and presence brought a lot of positivity and spiritual energy to our home. We are truly grateful for your time and blessings.

Pandit Yogesh Joshi and his wife Preeti did the most soul satisfying Shaanti puja in my house last weekend. He also did cleansing and Vastu remedies. Ever since the puja and the simple remedies he suggested to align the energies, we notice a big difference. He and his wife are very knowledgeable in astrology as well… highly recommend to meet them to uplift and correct your life , relationships and home.

Pandit Joshi did our house vastu puja and he was very thoroughly and didn’t rush. He suggested few things related to vastu as well. I would highly recommend him for any religious work.

Priest Yogesh has been doing poojas for my family for over 10 years, and all I can say is that he’s wonderful!! The Pooja is done with good blessings and a good heart, all the while teaching the lessons involved. What more can you ask for!

He has been coming to our house to perform home poojas and vastu services for 10 yrs . I recommend him without any hesitation.

Yoguesh Joshi was at my place to do Vastu Pooja at my place. He did any excellent job. We were very happy.

We had Pandit Yogesh to our home for puja and I can definitely say he was one of the best Maharaj's we had in our home. My daughter, born in the US, also appreciated him. The Maharaj was very professional and explained in both Gujarati and English, which was very much appreciated. We'll be sure to use him next time we need religious services.

Excellent services, priest arrive on time and conduct all the pooja rituals very professionally. Very satisfied with pooja ceremony. Highly recommend!

Panditji Yoguesh joshi did excellent Vastu Shanti puja. His wife Preeti also accompanied him. He was very informative and his puja was detailed oriented and we were very impressed and happy the way he performed our puja. We are very thankful and highly recommend him.

Very organized. Puja was completed on time and we were very satisfied.

He performed the new home pooja for us, and we were very pleased with his approach. He explained everything in English so our kids could also understand the meaning behind each ritual. He was calm, patient, and didn’t rush through the pooja, making the experience truly meaningful for our family.

Amazing service. It was a personalized affair for my wife and me. My wife is American, Joshiji broke down all mantras for her in English so she felt included. He even brought all stuff for pooja and helped clean after. We are truly happy we hired him. Highly recommend

Excellent Pooja by Pandit Ji! Performed Grih Parvesh pooja. Very thorough and detailed.

Priest Joshi did very good puja and explained all process. We highly recommend him for any puja you need it.

We were so incredibly happy with trusting Hindu Preist Services for our Hindu wedding ceremony. Preist Yogesh Ji created a beautiful environment that we will cherish forever. Going in we didn’t know much, Yogesh Ji made us, our family, and our guests feel comfortable throughout the whole ceremony. Everyone has given us so many compliments on how beautiful it was. We are so happy we went with Hindu Preist Services for our wedding and cannot wait to work with them again in the future!

We were so grateful to have Pandit Yogesh ji perform the naming ceremony of our daughter. He is highly knowledgeable, incredibly communicative—taking the time to walk us through the meaning behind each step of the ceremony.

It was great experience. He had done good GRAHPRAVESH Puja, With proper explanation. I do recommend him and will call him again In future .

Pundit Joshi was honestly the best. My family was worried we wouldn’t be able to find someone reliable. Not only was he extremely responsive, but he did exactly what we asked for the ceremony as it was a mixed wedding. Our guests had a great time, he added life and humor making this a joyous union— my grandparents who flew in from India were very pleased with everything. Very grateful!

Mr. Yogeshji did excellent rituals / puja during my daughter Engement ceremony. It was very beautiful and blessings full. My daughter requested his rituals services after six months during two days wedding ceremonies. Mr Joshi wins hearts for 200+ guests. We are fortunate that his all sincere pujas blessed to newly weds couples. God bless NJ, USA based Mr. Yogesh Joshi ji. He deserved all five stars for his great services.

Best Priest in the area. He is able to help you understand what the rituals are and why we do them. He is also Jolly and understands the needs of the younger generation. He is our family Pundit for all occasions including my wedding and Vastu Sastra and Satya Narayan Katha and more

He performed the rituals with devotion and explained everything clearly. We’re very happy with his service and highly recommend him.

My name is Pradeep K. Pandey, and I’ve lived in the United States for 30 years. Over the years, we’ve conducted many religious ceremonies like Griha Pravesh, Satyanarayan Vrat Katha, Rudrabhishekh, and a 24-hour Sampoorn Ramayan Path. Most priests we hired seemed more focused on rushing through rituals than performing them properly. In November 2025, we organized a Sampoorn Ramayan Path where Mr. G.S. Pathak led both the opening and concluding ceremonies. I was truly impressed by his detailed, Vedic approach—especially the Navagraha Pooja and the beautifully done Hawan with a properly built 27-brick Vedi. After 28 years, I finally found a priest who performs rituals with devotion, not for money. I highly recommend Mr. G.S. Pathak for any Hindu ceremony.

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!

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.

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.

Thank you so much for arranging and managing everything :). We had a great experience with your team and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

We really enjoyed the entire experience of videopuja conducted by your Gujarathi Panditji and will recommend to our friends.

Very well done pooja. We were completely satisfied.

Ramaswamy garu organized our Diwali puja exceptionally well; The priest performed the service via zoom and was well versed in the rituals. We appreciated his patience as he walked us through the Puja. Friends and family members were able to zoom in and watch the puja too. We were impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and dedication and we hope to be able to avail of their services soon

Hi, Everything was done really great. We absolutely loved this experience. Vidhate Ji made it really easy for us even though it was a virtual pooja. And it made us feel like it was an in person pooja. Also, we really enjoyed it as our family and friends were able to join as well. Even though it was our first time doing this pooja's, Vidhate Ji made it really easy for us and was very patient with us.

This is our second virtual puja with Priest4u; we are repeat customers and would highly recommend this service. Pandit Vidhateji conducted our Puja, he was very thorough and explained every aspect of the ceremony. Instructions on how to prepare for the actual puja were shared in advance and the team is always available to answer questions. Our friends and family were able to join via Zoom as well. All in all - 5 stars!

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

Very knowledgeable and Practical Priest.

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 ??

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.

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!
