Sorry I didn’t realize this if you can, can you ask them to hold their celebrations a little earlier next time? Thanks btw for the quick reply.

Very peaceful, all that matters here is devotion. very friendly. I moved to CA now and me & my family miss this temple and Deekshitulu gaaru.

Anytime, I love to visit this place and participate in the events as a volunteer. This place is providing a solace for so many families to re-connect with their culture, introduce Sanathana Dharma to their children, etc. Head Priest, Dixit garu have amazing knowledge and infinite patience to answer questions, explain things I don't know, talk with anyone (children to elders, he shows same love and compassion).

Iam from India this temple is very good

Jai Shree Krishna. Very well maintained temple and gurujis are knowledgeable, super polite and helpful. ????

It is an excellent temple with learned priests and excellent volunteer support. Easpecially there is no commercial element . If you visit 100 times, you will get Archana. But no ticket or receipt required. Festival days they do 100s of Archanas free. No compromise in temple rituals.

Lord of lords Sri venkateshwara swamy... Good temple... During Vaikunta ekadashi

Glad to have visited and participated in the serene, Devine, friendly atmosphere of this LV Temple during Sri Vinayaka Chaturthi earlier. LV Temple has excellent volunteers so lively. Temple preist conducting puja and all temple celebrations is a wonderful motivator, with such active gathering. Feel Devine presence in this calm meditative clean atmosphere. We 2 have this profound memory of being volenteers among temple volenteer friends participating during Beautifully decorated Dussehra and Kaarthika masam celebrations that is our fortune. Simply Exuberant. Big thanks to all volunteer friends and Guruji priests for treating us so well. May LV Lords bless us all ???? ramana rajani ??

Vyasji was very helpful/super nice. He was able to accommodate our Pooja in his busy schedule. He was well prepare for Pooja, brought lot of stuff with him for Pooja so we didn’t had to prepare much. I highly recommend him, we did Grih pravesh Pooja with him.

I got married in March 2024 at the Coral Springs Marriott (outside of Heron Bay) located in the greater Fort Lauderdale, FL area. I hired Mukesh for a Hindu/Gujarati Wedding Ceremony. Mukesh was referred to us by a friend, and we’re so glad we found him! He was an interactive pandit, and made the ceremony fun for us and the guests. He stuck to our required timeline of less than one hour. His Wedding Prep was excellent too. Mukesh provided us a list of items for the Mother of the Bride to purchase beforehand, and assured her that if we forget something, he will find a solution. As the Bride and Groom, we especially loved the joint-family conference call he did with us prior to the Wedding to discuss each ritual, and how we would like to perform them. It allowed us to customize based on our family sizes. Above all, we appreciated his responsiveness, punctuality, and his “modern” view on traditional rituals. We are eternally grateful for Mukesh Uncle's blessings for our marriage, and we recommend him to you for any rituals you may have!

I had the pleasure of working with Mukesh Vyas recently for my client's wedding, and he is extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and personable with everyone. He was available during the rehearsal to answer questions and quickly run through the ceremony details. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early and set up everything he needed. There was a wide variety of cultures in attendance, so he was very thorough in explaining the meaning behind certain aspects of the ceremony. It was incredible, and I highly recommend him!

I am very happy I was able to have Mukeshbhai Vyas do the Pooja for us. He was very helpful, practical and is a very knowledgeable priest. I highly recommend him.I am very happy to have met him. He is always more inclined to do the right thing for his clients than make a profit.

I did 5 stars for everything and I wrote : Vyasji did a wonderful puja for our new home. He explained every part of the puja to us both and with examples, which made us feel a lot more engaged in the rituals. He had a wonderful energy and would recommend him to all my friends and family

Vyasji was very helpful/super nice. He was able to accommodate our Pooja in his busy schedule. He was well prepare for Pooja, brought lot of stuff with him for Pooja so we didn’t had to prepare much. The pooja was also very nice, fun, peaceful. I highly recommend him, we did Satya Narayan Pooja with him.

Vyasji did great pooja. Throughout the ceremony he explained and gave us the examples for better understanding. He performed Vastu Pujan and grha pravesh Pooja. We are fortunate to have him at our place. Everything went so smooth. We are thankful to his service. And will definitely recommend him.

Mukeshbhai is an awesome priest. He performed my daughter’s Ganesh puja and wedding ceremony so beautifully. He kept the audience engaged and explained each steps of puja/ritual in English which everyone appreciated. He is very punctual and easy to work with. My sincere thanks to Mukeshbhai for this excellent work. Kudos to his daughter Khushbu who helped out in logistics.

Today I had Vyasji Maharaj do the Vastu Pujan and Gruha Pravash Pooja. I have had Pooja's done in the past, but this Pooja was magical and Vyasji is a very humble man. Througout the ceremony he explained and gave examples that you could understand. I also believe it is very big of him to give away the donation of the Pooja to a charity. His philosophy is to give and it comes back without asking. His energy and spirituality was amazing. I truly feel myself and my house blessed. Thank you.

Vyasji is great priest and very knowledgeable person . He did great pooja while engaging kids and adults by interacting regularly with them . We were mesmerized with his presence and will refer him to everyone . Thanks Vyasji, we are grateful to God that we got to know you and you blessed our home .

We are very fortunate to have Pandit Vjas ji for our vastu puja. We learnt a lot while doing the pooja.

Vyasji made our grih pravesh puja a very auspicious and pleasent experience. He was very knowledgeable and organized. All the rituals were explained to us and our 19 year old in both hindi and English languages. We would definitely recommend him for any puja ceremony

We blessed by Pooja done by panditji! Thank you so much for being kind, jovial and giving your blessings to us!

We were very fortunate to find Vyasji for the wedding ceremony of our son. He conducted the grahshanti pooja and the wedding ceremony very well. Prior to the wedding he was very helpful via chats and video calls to provide an understanding of the ceremonies and a list of items needed. He was very attentive to our needs and requirements. He was helpful in bringing all the things required for the wedding. He made the ceremony very interactive and interesting for everyone attending the wedding. He explained the rituals and also made everyone laugh. We had a mixed marriage but he ensured that everyone understood and enjoyed the ceremony. I am very thankful to Vyasji for conducting such a wonderful ceremony for us.

Today we had our graha pravesh pooja, vastu shanti and Ganesha Pooja. Guruji arrived 10 minutes before said time which was great. He got a big bag which had all the stuff that he needed for pooja. He also sends a list of items for you to get well in advance which is nice. He makes sure that he explains chants and what is the pooja for. He is very friendly and will also make jokes in between. He also was kind to offer to take our pictures and videos.

We recently had the pleasure of having Pandit Ji conduct our Griha Pravesh Pooja. From the moment we connected, his warm and accommodating nature made us feel at ease. He shared anecdotes to explain some rituals and his ability to create a joyful atmosphere, made our experience truly exceptional. He involved everyone in the audience and even involved our family members who joined us via video call. We are grateful for his efforts in making our ceremony inclusive, memorable, joyful and filled with blessings. Thank you, Pandit Ji!

Vyas ji conducted the Satyanarayan Pooja at our home with great warmth and sincerity. He performed all the customary rituals just as they are done in India. He provided explanations for each aspect, enlightening us with insightful information about the pooja, including the significance of the asan (seat) and the proper directions to follow. He was punctual and possessed extensive knowledge. We express our gratitude to him.

Vyas ji visited us for Satyanarayan Pooja. He brought all the necessary stuff for pooja and sent us a list of items needed beforehand. Everything was well planned and well executed. He also explained us the meaning of shlokas and logic behind the rituals. He was jovial throughout and everyone liked interacting with him.

We had an interfaith wedding for my daughter in last March in Miami. Vyasji Maharaj did an amazing job performing Hindu wedding rituals leading to Nikah ceremony. He had just returned from Australia two days prior to the wedding. He drove 3 hrs. each way for the wedding. He was alert and jovial in spite of being very jetlagged. He kept the audience engaged with proper explanations of rituals. The night before the wedding, at 12 am I realized that I had forgotten a very important clothing article required for the most important ritual. Since it was a destination wedding I had no one to call for help. So, I frantically called him. He calmly assured me that he would take care of the item. Even on the day of the wedding he repeatedly assured me to leave everything to him and try to relax :)) Our relatives and friends were very impressed with the way he conducted the ceremony. People commented that even though they themselves had married with religious ceremonies, they learnt the significance of rituals from hearing his explanations. I highly recommend him. He is professional, well versed and very adaptable. Thanks', Mukeshbhai.

House warming pooja- Pandit ji is very helpful and have lot of knowledge specially if you have kids then definitely invite him. It’s hard to find people like him in today’s world. I look forward to invite him again. My 7 years old daughter really liked him and want to hear all the stories from him about our culture and traditions. Thank you so much for blessing our house!

Pandit Vyasji conducted our Gruh Pravesh Pooja and he is very cooperative and very helpful. Good sense of humor. Will definitely have his service again.

Vyasji Maharaj conducted our wedding ceremony earlier this month. He was wonderful to work with, very cooperative, and helped us to understand the significance of the ceremony. He made sure to keep the audience engaged and has a good sense of humor. Additionally, he speaks very good English so our American guests could follow along with him.

Vyasji was wonderful! He was reliable, flexible, and adaptable. He performed the wedding ceremony very well and kept the audience engaged. He also had a good sense of humor.

He was punctual and accurate on everything. We hire him for our wedding ceremony and he did a great job. I would recommend him for your events too.

Pundit Mukesh Ji performed our wedding ceremony and did an amazing job. He explained all the steps very well, and was very engaging with the guests. Even the guests were saying it was one of the best Hindu ceremonies they had watched. Pundit Ji was easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. We are so happy he was the priest to marry us.

Pandit ji solemnize my wedding in Seattle. He was extremely cooperative and helped us understand everything that needs to happen for the ceremony. Me and my family didn't feel like we missed anything for not having the wedding in India. I would highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Mukheshbhai for his services. He recently did a grah pravesh and vastu Shanti puja for our new home and made the whole experience wonderful for us. From the very first time I spoke with him over the phone to his thoughtfulness in sharing the puja list before the puja he was kind and genuinely wanted us to enjoy the process. He involved everyone from my mother in law to my 3 year old in the ceremony and shared so many details of the significance of the rituals enriching the puja for our family. I am sure we will want to have him back for all our future puja needs.

Vyas Ji recently performed Grah Pravesh pooja for us, and he made the occasion even more delightful with his kind spirit and genuine devotion to his work. He is very thoughtful and accommodating with the things required for pooja, and wanted us to just enjoy this time without any kind of stress. He encouraged us to talk to our elders in the family to get their feedback on specific rituals that they'd want to perform as part of the pooja. He ensured that everybody was engaged in the pooja, by being very communicative, providing explanations, and asking questions and feedback, both in English and Hindi. I agree with all the reviews on this page, and like all of them- we had a great experience working with Vyas Ji and would highly recommend him for any kind of pooja.

I would recommend Vyasji Maharaj for any type of Pooja. He performed Grah parvesh pooja for us. He was very communicative throughout the process and explained the meaning and significance of each step. I would definitely use his services again in future.

Vyasji is one of the most polite, well versed and professional priest you can find in Greater Seattle area. I reached out to him looking the reviews on Sulekha, it was totally worth it. We did Grih Pravesh, Vastu Pooja and Satya Narayan pooja for new house. He was very communicative throughout the process. He sent us list of items needed earlier and explained what kind of pooja would be done on the day. He is very polite and punctual. He made whole ceremony fun and engaging, explaining us meaning of each step. He even involved our parents watching he ceremony live on video call from India. He was constantly communicating with everyone, even with people on video call. He is knowledgeable and explained us the Satynarayan katha very well. All of our friends were really impressed with his professionalism and his fun nature. I highly recommend Vyasji for any ritual. Thanks!

We had an excellent experience working with Vyasji for my father’s antyesti ceremony. He is a kind, professional, erudite, and enlightening presence. He is also resourceful and adaptable, providing excellent service on short notice. We highly recommend him!

I would recommend Vyasji Maharaj for everyone doing Pooja or Katha at home. He was very generous, and explained us everything in the Pooja. I would definitely want him to perform more poojas at our home

Vyasji is the most professional hindu priest you can find! We reached out to him to perform our wedding ceremony, he guided us so patiently through all the details. He kept in touch with us multiple times till the wedding day to make sure all our questions are answered. We didn't have a lot of the items needed for the ceremony, Vyasji was so kind to bring so many items with him. He drove all the way to Tallahassee to perform our wedding ceremony, arrived well in advanced, and translated the entire ceremony in English. He made the whole ceremony so much fun for us and our guests, he has a great sense of humor. We received so many compliments from our guests for his level of professionalism and knowledge. We will highly recommend Vyasji to anyone out there looking for a hindu priest, he's very knowledgeable, helpful and punctual.

Very nice devine place

very good programs . thankss

Simply super. I loved it. The live of the seva or abhìshekam or pooja telecast are super.

Pundit ji did my wedding and I really appreciate he took his time and broke it down for me to understand all the steps that will take place. I appreciated his humor, made the wedding more fun for everyone.

We had Mundan ceremony of our son by Vyasji Maharaj. It was the most satisfying Pooja experience that we have had. Panditji is very warm, helping, kind and have a very peaceful aura. He answered all our queries very patiently. On the day of the Pooja, he immediately became popular with everyone in the family from little kids to adults. We had a video chat with family back home in India during the ceremony and Panditji was very patient in making everyone understand the details of the Pooja and understand the essence of their blessings. He also made sure that while performing the Pooja, we also understand the details of the vidhi and actions performed. We and our friends will reach out to him for any ceremonies and recommend him to anyone who wants to perform a Peaceful, Vidhivat Pooja.

I was very lucky to find somebody like Vyasji to help me immensely. And I am very happy I had the puja done by him.

Very helpful and trustworthy Pandit Ji. I was in search of hindu Pandit Ji for performing surya pooja before my marriage and came across Pandit Vyasji. He guided me very patiently and rightly for all the rituals to be performed and also guided me on things to be used in pooja. Before pooja out of 7 things I wasn't able to find 5 things (coconut, flowers, havan samagari, camphor, mango wood). I contacted Pandit Ji and told I couldn't get these 4 things, he made all the efforts went to Indian store and purchased those things for me. This was really out of ordinary service for me. For performing pooja he came exactly on time and performed rituals with all the pooja samagari (things) with most comprehensive way I have seen. He is really very knowledgeable with all the chants and mantras and goes out of his way for you such that your pooja gets completed without any miss or delay. For his reliability, knowledge and his willingness to do things for you I would highly recommend Pandit Vyasji to anyone. Look no further if you are a searching for Pandit ji for the first time or an experienced searcher, he is perfect for any hindu pooja/rituals/havan etc. Thanks again Pandit Ji for everything, Anuj

We had ghre pravesh pooja by Vayas ji. It was our first Indian pooja here and We never expected that we will get such a beautiful pooja experience here in US. The way he did pooja and kept everyone involved even our family members who joined through zoom call was amazing. For every pooja he explained all the details so thoroughly. We would highly recommend him and will be really happy to get his services in future as well. Thank you.

We requested Vyasji Maharaj to perform Griha Pravesh and Vastu Pooja. We had an amazing and Spiritual experience . He explained the meaning of the rituals in details and performed the pooja with pure heart .He and his family does a lot of charity work in and around our community . World is beautiful when we have people like them here . We have a lot to learn from Vyasji. I say that in highest respect . Thank you again VyasJi .. Hope to see you soon in our next occasion or otherwise just to know you and your wonderful family .

Vyas Guruji is very knowledgeable. He performed vastu Pujan for our new home. He was very patient in answering all our questions, helped us choose the muhurta, shared a list of things needed and also brought ‘hom saamagri’. I highly recommend Vyas Guruji.

We had a Mundan ceremony of our kid by Vyasji maharaj. It was one of best experience we had. He and his family is very nice and welcoming. As we were coming Portland, they had made all arrangements before we reached. He explains everything in detail and keeps your interest in Pooja. We would highly recommend him and definitly looking forward for his services in future as well. Thank you.

Vyasji helped us with our wedding ceremonies and he did a wonderful job. He is very kind and knowledgeable and have detailed explanations about all the pujas.

Vyasji Maharaj performed our wedding ceremony and pre-ceremony events. He was by far the most complimented vendor to take part in our ceremony. Vyasji explained the significance of different parts of the ceremony in a brief and interesting way so that our guests actually paid attention. We have CONSTANTLY gotten praises from our friends on how much they enjoyed watching the ceremony because of him. He also worked with us to personalize the service in many ways. Our day was made so much more special because of him.

Vyasji was excellent performing funeral services for my grandfather. He is very spiritual, educated, and patient. He took the time to explain all services and helped us during this difficult time. Vyasji Mahraj is very punctual, showing up to all events early and prepared. I highly recommend his services and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Vyasji Maharaj is the best, flexible, on time and very helpful and not demanding like other. Explaining in detail with English and Gujarati Makes everyone happy. He brings most of puja stuff his own that makes so easy for us. I will always call him. He specially came to Orlando for me. Thanks so much to Vyasji maharaj . ????????????????????????????????????????

Vyasji is a honest, kind, spiritual and disciplined Hindu priest with a great human touch. He performed Lord Ganesh pooja, my wedding ceremony and home warming ritual. Recommend him highly. Great resource near Naples, Florida

I consulted panditji for asking about grih pravesh muhurt. He was very helpful and answered all my queries. He aIso provided knowledgeable information regarding moving to new house. I strongly recommend his consultation.
