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.

We are so happy we went with Hindu Preist Services for our wedding and cannot wait to work with them again in the future!

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.

Thank you Guruma, I have been with them for few years. I have always seek help from them. They have a divine blessing to help out people. Their pooja and havan was well in detailed. I thank again to Guruma and their team for helping us. Namaste..

Madhava Acharyulu garu has performed a family wedding ceremony here in Dallas and since then he has been the goto person for every ritual in our family. He is one of the best Purohit we have seen. His discipline, commitment and dedication to the ritual process is amazing and he makes sure that we understand the significance and importance of the ritual process and inspires us to involve into it. It has always been an amazing experience and we are looking forward for many more.

Madhava Charyulu garu has been the priest for our wedding and also for our gruha pravesam Puja in Dallas. we would definitely recommend him because he was punctual and on time for each of our events. He recently did the Puja for my sister's housewarming in Dallas as well. He does Puja in a traditional Hindu way and we are really impressed with his service. highly recommend!

Thank you for the in depth information on my family from their Vedic Charts and all the required healings and blessings from the Gods/Godesses from the intense poojas and homas to clear the negative energies and past karma. The results have been amazing.

Two years after moving into our new home in Seattle, our lives turned upside down. We experienced an unexpected divorce, and our lives were in turmoil. In the summer of 2019, I asked Guruma to visit our home. She performed numerous pujas to remove negative energies that had apparently resided in the home since it was first built in the 60s. She also did a planetary life analysis of family members and coached us in daily prayers. It’s now been four years since her visit and we feel blessed to experience peace and joy that seemed unimaginable just a few years ago. I’m very thankful to Guruma and her daughter Darvika for spending several days with us and conducting the needed prayers to bring love and light into our lives!

After seeing the positive results of Guruma’s prayers in the US, I asked her to visit my mother and younger sister in the UK. She performed numerous prayers for my younger sister who has learning difficulties. Over the last three years, we’ve seen a remarkable difference in her ability to manage almost all household work including cooking, cleaning, washing, and organizing. We are relieved and happy to see her make so much progress in such a short time. We are grateful for Guruma’s love and prayers!

Thank you for your help, insight, and knowledges I am glad that we talked!

Pandit Tirumala was very professional. We had to arrange a short wedding ceremony for our son in Austin while we lived in New York. We talked to Pandit over the phone and he agreed to perform the ceremony within allotted time. We asked him to come for a rehearsal with a short notice and he did show up. The first photo is Pandit being picked up by an ATV as the wedding was held outdoor in a large ranch. He was very pleasant. The actual ceremony happened 2 days later. He came on time to the venue, and conducted the ceremony when his time came. The wedding setup was fairly simple and was arranged to accommodate 4 different religious ceremonies. He guided the Western audience by clapping at the right moment, like the pinnacle moment of adorning the thaali (gold necklace). He managed the time by reducing the number of phases in a typical wedding event. He is young and has strong voice in case the audio system turned out to be weak. We were delighted to have him conduct the ceremony for our son, and will recommend him without hesitation to any one.

Hi sorry, been a busy day at work. I want to let you know the puja performed was very well appreciated by all members of our family. Thanks for your prompt response and a devoted duty. We look forward to more opportunities in the future. Thanks, Sreedhar

We requested the priest services of Sri Narasimha Chary Tirumala for performing the wedding of our daughter in Lubbock, Texas. We are very glad to inform you that Narasimha Chary garu performed the ceremony very authentically according to the customs of Telugu families. There were a large number of Americans (Caucasian White Americans, including our son-in-law) in the audience. They had a wonderful exposition to our culture and they appreciated our customs and culture. They made a lot of positive comments about the Priest. Our relatives in India watched ceremony on-line and they were thrilled to witness such an authentic ceremony performed in the United States. Some of them commented that our ceremony was more authentic than they experience locally. Narasimha Chary garu was very punctual and performed the wedding ceremony in a very professional way. We are very fortunate have a such a learned priest in our Austin Hindu Temple and we commend the Temple administration for having a such a talented person. We thank the Austin Hindu Temple for facilitating the services of priests. We are also grateful to Tirumala garu for his patience, accommodation of our requests, and timely performance of ceremony.

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.
