Best Hindu Priest in New Jersey

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.

Calm and quiet place. They also do havan here. It’s a Arya Samaj temple.

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.

He is good neater prist and good explain all deeply puja work.satyanarayan katha.i recognize contact prist for any puja work.

We had our son’s Namkaran ceremony in March 2024. He was excellent. We are looking forward to have the pujariji back for our son’s Mundan ceremony! He gave a list of materials we needed to provide in advance and we were able to get them from our local Indian store. He came into our home and was very careful with the havan. He explained what things meant for those in attendance who were not familiar with the ceremony. We would welcome him back for all our havan needs!

Panditji performed a puja for us recently. We were extremely happy with his puja ceremony. His energy was wonderful. He was calm,passionate and very informative. The rituals were performed as per the scriptures- not rushing anyone or any ritual. What I truly enjoyed is that he will bring all the puja supplies if needed. An amazing priest who I would recommend to anyone and look forward to doing pujas with again.

Review of Srinivasa Bhattar, Hindu Priest Srinivasa Bhattar performed the wedding of our daughter in May 2024. He is extremely nice, kind and easy to talk to. Right from the planning stage he was very clear as to what he would be doing. He is very accommodating. He was very prompt in replying to our text messages and in clarifying any of our questions. We all had couple of zoom calls and visited him at his home in NJ to go over the steps for the ceremony. He and his wife were very hospitable and welcoming. Srinivas Bhattar was very patient in explaining the significance of every step to our daughter and son in law and made it very easy for them to understand and follow. He adjusted the ceremony to our time constraint without omitting the essential steps. He sent us the description of different steps with detailed explanations. This was particularly useful for the bridegroom’s family who are from Brazil. He arrived right on time and the timeline given was adhered to. The ceremony was completed as planned. During the wedding he explained each step over the mike, so that everybody understood what was going on and why. Srinivas made sure he adhered to all the safety criteria of the venue. The ceremony was small enough, but still very meaningful. His charges are very reasonable. Overall, it was an awesome experience for all of us. We highly recommend him. Thank you!

Sri Srinivas Bhattar was amazing in terms of accessibility, responsiveness, professionalism and knowledge / guidance. He was wonderfully thorough in explaining the meaning of the mantras and following the acharas of the rituals. Was SO comforted by both pujas officiated by him. Thank you Sir. Hope to be able to do many more pujas with you.????

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!

A great experience because of Priest Umakant. Perfect purohit / priest for inter faith wedding . He married us in Atlantic City last summer and it was a beautiful ceremony. He would explain every ritual in plain English to us and in such great detail that it become so easy even for a non Hindu person to follow. My husband and his family are not Indian and they were incredibly impressed with the care and detail . The whole day was so blissful and fun! People still talk about how great the wedding was. We highly recommend priest Umakant , specially if you are a inter faith couple.

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.

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

Very knowledgeable and Practical Priest.

I was looking for priest for our wedding and found Umakant Thaker. I highly recommend him for pooja, He did every rituals of the wedding with patience and made us understand about our great rituals. He is very nice to work with.

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.

I called Mr Thakar one fine morning after seeing many names and many 5 star reviews. I saw Mr Thakar only had 2, but i went with my gut feeling and called him for Grah Pravesh. We couldnt hv found a better Priest. His vedic chants were clear, accurate and filled with positive energy. I would recommend him to everyone. He did exactly what we wanted with the ceremony. It was very spiritual and positive. Thank You!!!

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.

My husband and I are extremely happy with the Satyanarayan Katha and Nav grah poojan performed by Umakantji at our home. Umakantji is very knowledgeable, punctual and explained and did the katha-pooja keeping everyone engaged. Our friends and family who were with us for the pooja loved Umakantji's way of performing pooja and all looking forward to have their pooja and katha done by Umakantji. Thank you Umakantji for making our first pooja as a married couple a memorable one. Best, Shilpa

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

It is absolutely amazing to see how Srinivasa Bhattar bridges the gap between the new and the old- bringing traditions to life explaining their importance and significance. We have had him perform numerous poojas at our house and would highly recommend him for his in-depth knowledge and his dedication to what he does. 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. The services offered are equally honored with care and respect to keep up the need and divinity of human soul towards the lord. We are extremely happy that Sri Srinivas Bhattar is bringing his dream for us to reach our ultimate destination.. through the services offerings. He is the one we feel near to us guiding even in the most critical phases of life by his extreme knowledge on veda, mantra and purana. Nithyavibhuthi – One reliable stop for all the divine services, Sri Srinivas – The best, energetic, process oriented, non-compromising and highly reliable priest.

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

He's knowledgeable and will take time to explain the significance of the pujas in simple terms. We're extremely pleased with his service and highly recommend and refer him.

Srinivas garu is a very good person and he has abundance knowledge about Hindu culture and rituals. He has performed Satyanarayana and House warming pooja in our house. He is very knowledgeable and conducts all the rituals with complete devotion. We liked the way he tries to explain each and every thing while performing any pooja which you rarely see any priest doing. We highly recommend him if you are planning to perform any ritual/pooja at your house.
