Pandit Pradeep Madhyastha did a lovely Pooja. All guests were very Happy. We just called him after looking at his reviews. It went really great Highly recommended.

We are very thankful to Pradeep Ji for the wedding ceremony of our daughter he conducted yesterday! All the basics were covered in a short amount of time. We felt great afterward. ??

Pradeepji conducted the Hindu ceremony for our multicultural wedding. Throughout the period leading up to the wedding, he was very responsive and professional in his communication. During the ceremony, he did a wonderful job of explaining each ritual and rite to the audience while including appropriate and respectful humor, which made for an enjoyable experience for our guests.

Panditji performed griha parvesh pujan at our home in foster city. He was available even at a short notice of a day and provided all the samagri for pujan. It was seamless and holy! I would highly recommend him for our future rituals

We had Pradeep Madhyastha as the priest for our daughter’s wedding, and he did an excellent job. He followed all the South Indian Telugu wedding traditions with great care and precision. The ceremony was thorough, quick, and beautifully conducted. He also performed a detailed Satyanarayana Swami Puja, which was very elaborate and meaningful. He truly comes across as a knowledgeable and efficient Pujari. We’re very grateful for his presence during such an important occasion.

Panditji officiated our wedding last week in Napa Valley CA and helped us in every step. He was very clear about list of things to be arranged so there would not be any last minute issues. The ceremony went well and all guests were really amazed. I would strongly recommend him for all my family and friends.

Pandit Pradeep ji did an excellent Satyanarayana pooja for us. He explained the moral and essence of the Katha in unconventional way. (not by reading as in the book.) We really enjoyed.

Priest Pradeep was amazing to have at our wedding! We're from different parts of India but we communicated with him about what traditions we wanted to include and he made sure to include what we wanted and make each of the steps easy. He made the process easy for us and our family, and made it very enjoyable for our guests as well. All our guests said how much they loved our ceremony and our priest, and I find that to be a huge accomplishment for a ceremony that took about an hour! He also had very unique things for each process, and I loved how he had us do the seven steps and had our ring exchange at the front. We're so glad we had Priest Pradeep at our wedding, and it wouldn't have been the same without him.

We had a great experience with Panditji who performed grih pravesh puja for us. We had to change the timing almost three times but he always provided us with alternate date/time and made himself available. He clearly communicated us about puja procedure, things to buy etc. and also arrived on time. The puja was done with utmost perfection with full detail and no hurry. Our parents who attended the puja on video call were very satisfied with the puja.

Our Greh Pravesh was performed by guruji and it was a great experience. Guruji explained about importance of every step that is performed and what is really means. Overall a wonderful experience with pooja and feel blessed

We had the honour of having him perform the rituals for our Greh Pravesh and it was an unforgettable experience for us. He gave us all his time with 100% commitment to shloks and the process which goes which leaving us with only positive and holy vibes. Thank you Panditji for doing this for us.

Loved the way the Guruji did the Pooja setup. Gruha pravesh Pooja rituals were performed and explained so well, felt really pleasant, peaceful and satisfied.

Priest Pradeep Madhyasta is highly qualified in all aspects of Hindu religion. At such an young age he can perform anything including SAHSRACHANDRA DARSHANA HOMAM. We are blessed to have him for all our service. He speaks many language. I Give him 5 out 5 stars Uma Satyendra

Pandit ji did a very elaborate and peaceful Greh Pravesh Puja for us. He explained us every step in a very thoughtful and yet entertaining way. His words of wisdom and prayers will stay with us and this home. Highly recommended !

We had Priest Pradeepji perform Annaprasnna Puja for our baby girl. He is the best priest we have found and were very engaged in the manner he performed the Puja. He is a dedicated and sincere Priest and you immediately start to feel positivity going around as he chants the mantras and performs the Puja. We have never felt this way with any other Priest. He is very understanding of your situation and will do what works for you! We noticed him perform the Puja in an authentic Rigveda style! We would want to use his services for all our future events! Highly highly recommend him!

Nice Temple, Navaratri pooja's and celebration was great. Thanks Venkat mama for all your blessings.

Great Temple and Venkat mama is my Guru Namaskaram mama thank you so much

I visited this academy in Nov 2020 on a Pradosham day. I participated in Rudram - Namakam & Chamakam chanting. I felt very positive vibe. One can take part online chanting as well in this Covid time. Venkatesh teaches Rudra chanting free of cost. The academy premises is being kept very clean and tidy. I strongly recommend this place for anyone want to learn more about Vedic culture

We had the privilege of visiting this temple last week. It is such a divine place. Sri Venkat mama is great and patient teacher and I am blessed to be learning slokas from him A must visit place if you are in the Bay Area.

Lovely to have Dharshan of Sharadha Devi. Guruji Venkatesh Bhat is doing great service in teaching Slokams like Lalitha Sahasranamam, Soundaryalahari,Devi Mahathmyum everyday .We are all learning a lot from him and we are fortunate to have such a dedicated Guru.

A very divine and peaceful place to visit. Had a blissful dharshan of Shri Sharadamba devi couple of times. Feel very blessed to learn vedic chants from Sri Venkatesh Bhatt Guruji! He is a great teacher.

Venkatesh Bhat Guruji is an ocean of knowledge. He is capable of making even novice learners chant the Slokas comfortably which instills a great sense of confidence in individuals. Great experience ????

Wonderful temple with a great selfless service by Venkatesh Bhattji

We had a great darshan of Sharadambal a few months back. We could feel the great positive vibes and felt very peaceful. The temple priest, Sri Venkatesh Bhat is a great teacher. He is selfless, dedicated, patient, and is teaching us Lalitha Sahasranama, Soundarya Lahari, Shyamala Dhandakam, and Devi Mahatmyam. He is a great teacher. He analyses each and every student very easily and helps with utmost care explaining how each word must be pronounced. This has helped me a lot in improving my pronounciations. I can't find any words to describe how happy and peaceful I feel after each and every class. Without his lessons, I don't think I would have learned all these in a short period of time. This also helped combat stress during the stressful pandemic time. Guruji is a treasure of our culture and traditional values, and feel proud to learn from him. Once, all this COVID is over, I plan to learn more scriptures from our culture and to volunteer in the temple. We recited Soundarya Lahari and Lalitha Sahasranamam in the temple after learning ,and we could feel the divine atmosphere and bliss even today. I am very happy to go and get his blessings and Sharadambal's blessings as often as possible.

I am S Meenakshi and using google account of my husband K G Sankaran’s account to write this review, I am 78 and my friend Anu Arun told me to join this temple activities about 4 months ago. GuruJi Shri Venkatesa Byatt is excellent in teaching the slogans. He is very patient and bears with all our errors .and corrects them always. We are very fortunate in having him as our Guru and hope to learn more in the time ahead.

Thank you Guru ji for teaching us Devi mahatyam and soudarya lahari. Because of you we learnt. Venkatesh bhatt Guru ji was awesome and a great teacher.

My name is Yamini . I am residing in Singapore . I got introduced to our guruji Venkatesh bhatt through my Sister akila who lives in California . I joined his lessons on lalitha sahasranamam . After that we have learnt soundarya lahari , Syamala dandakam and currently we are learning Devi mahatmiyam . Guruji is so patient and dedicated . He teaches us to perfection . Feeling blessed to know him . Wishing to learn more from him with saradhambal’s grace .

I am looking forward to visit the temple sometime soon. we have been watching the Poojas virtually.And I got to know about the Sloga class through one of my friends and have been attending the classes from the beginning.Sri Venkatesh Mama is such a great Guru.Feeling very blessed this gives such a positive vibe .

Please visit and get the divine blessings of Sharadambe.

Blissed to have this temple in Fremont. Every Saturday Lalitha sahasranama chanting will be there.

Beautiful space with divine vibrations. Very peaceful and the temple priests are great. We had wonderful opportunity to do dance seva for the goddess!! Looking forward to more blessings and divinity. Thank you

Nice and calm place. The priest and the volunteers are very good.

Excellent place for performing hindu religious (specifically Smartha) functions.

Pandit Ji came to our house for ladoo gopal Pooja .He is very patient,knowledgeable and humble. He arrived on time and answer all of our curiosity.I will definitely hire him for next Pooja.

Absolutely loved purohit Pradeep's service. Even before the service he gave proper directions on all the things that is needed. He is very responsive if you have any questions ahead of the ceremony. He was punctual and did not miss a beat. He conducted our baby shower ceremony and did an absolutely fantastic job, he explained the process every step of the way and made the guests feel involved and included in the ceremony. He also has a good sense of humor. Overall, would highly recommend his services and would definitely be going back to him in the future.

Namasthe Pandit ji, the wedding went on really well! Panditji was very kind and understanding, we were very happy to have him lead the ceremony! Our parents were also very happy! :):) He was patient and understood some requests our parents had made sure everything went on smoothly. :D. I'll definitely recommend to all my friends and family who get married around the area. Thank you.

Panditji officiated our wedding a few weeks ago and helped us along the way with everything. He meticulously gave us a list of everything we needed so there would not be any last minute issues. The ceremony itself which he performed was very thorough and enjoyable. At every step he made sure the why of it in a very easy to grasp and entertaining way. He was also naturally interacting with our guests during the ceremony making it very enjoyable for them too. Would definitely recommend his services to our friends.

Excellent Service. Pradeep Garu is very patient and very thorough in the puja. I would definitely go back again for any other pujas and I will recommend others as well.

Pandit Pradeep is the best priest in the Bay Area. I have worked with several priests and none of them match his quality. He does not cut corners. In addition, he explains the rituals well and also directs the other vendors (e.g., Photography). This is my first experience with this priest and we plan to keep him as our permanent priest.

Panditji helped us in conducting a vaastu puja and deity installation. He is very well versed in the process. He was punctual, nice to deal with and practical. I would highly recommend his services.

This is a long overdue review for panditji Pradeep. We had a interracial wedding (Hindu/Mexican) back in May of 2021 during the middle of pandemic. Panditji came to our wedding site on time and performed all the rituals to our satisfaction. We were all extremely happy as panditji went into detail on what each of the ritual meant and had papers printed out for folks not familiar with Hindu rituals. If we have any other ritual to be performed in the near future, we will be more than happy to get panditji's help again. Thank again!

I found Pradeep ji via sulekha.com and called him to inquire about our new house warming pooja availability. He was super polite, very accommodating on phone, and scheduled the pooja at a time convenient to everyone along with the right mahurtha. He provided a detailed pooja items list a week before house warming day. Very punctual, knowledgeable, and such clear pronunciation of the shlokas/mantras. He explained the inner meaning of all the traditions, ceremonies including the homa event. Created a very positive aura in the entire home with his dedication, humor, and knowledge. All of our guests were impressed and taken away by his charm. My parents and family who attended the ceremony virtually were able to thoroughly enjoy the whole event and is a testimony to Pradeep ji's execution of the house warming pooja event. I would highly recommend Pradeep ji for any event.

We recently had Pradeep ji perform our housewarming pooja. I am from the north of India and my husband is from the south. Pradeep ji was very knowledgeable about both our traditions. He was very punctual, patient, and performed the ceremonies very well. His wit and humour created an atmosphere of joy in our new home. The last few weeks had been stressful and the pooja calmed us down. We were very happy with the experience! Our families from India joined virtually and enjoyed the pooja too.

Pandit Pradeep Madhyastha performed my son’s Ayushhomam in 2018 and we were very satisfied and happy with his service. When we bought a new house in June 2021, we could not think of anyone other than Pradeep ji for performing our Gruhapravesham. He agreed to do it even though it was 2hrs drive from where he lives. He keeps the environment very friendly, explains significance of each and every rituals in detail so that we don’t feel like blindly following instructions. Always with a welcoming smile which make us feel comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to him for any of our future pooja needs.

Pandit ji performed the grihpravesh pooja at our new home in San Jose, California. He is very knowledgeable and explained every mantras and poojas in detail. Our family back home was also impressed. He also provided a detailed list of items needed for the pooja and the entire setup was beautiful. We highly recommend him!

Pradeepji helped us with our griha pravesh puja in Fremont. It was a thoroughly enjoyable ceremony with a great mix of rituals (with explanations for alll of them) and light hearted humor. Our parents joining virtually also had a great time. Pradeepji was very methodical and organized with his list of items before the puja and we had no trouble procuring them at all. I would highly recommend him for all your puja needs.

Pradeep Ji is one of the best priest I found in the Bay Area. He does grih pravesh pooja for me. It was very satisfying experience.

Pandit Pradeepji performed our grahapravesh puja in Sunnyvale and we had an amazing experience. He was very easy to contact, gave us list of all items needed to help prepare for the puja and brought some items himself when we couldn't find them. He found a good mahurat for us and started right on time. The puja was setup beautifully and performed very authentically to the point that when our families back in India saw the videos they were so impressed and commented that it's was so much better other pujas they've seen. He was very friendly and we had the best experience. Highly recommend him.

We utilized Pradeep Ji for our wedding in NJ and his services were amazing and would always recommend him to anyone requiring his services. We had a fusion wedding and he did an amazing job incorporating both groom and bride side traditions!

Priest Pradeep performed SatyaNarayana Pooja at our house . He has very good knowledge of scriptures and he explained the meaning of Slokas very well . Very nice person !! Highly recommend him for any kind of pooja

I had house warming puja done at my home in Bay area by Pandit Ji. Puja done by him was excellent. He was on time and performed the puja very well. He has thorough knowledge of all the mantras. I would call him again for more puja ceremony and highly recommend him to everyone.

Pandit Pradeep Madyastha was very easy to work with, he was flexible with our needs. He performed housewarming ceremony for our new home, and it was a very positive experience, he helped us from preparation to the end of the pooja. We did not know much about rituals, so he explained everything thoroughly. My parents and In-laws joined us virtually from India, and they were very impressed with the ceremony. I would highly recommend him.

Pradeep garu recently performed Gruha pravesha ceremony for our new home. He was very helpful answering all our questions and he sent us the list of items that needs to be there. We forgot an important item and Pradeep garu was well prepared and he provided us the required item. The pooja itself was done very traditionally and we enjoyed our big day. We highly recommend Pradeep garu and will reach out to him again for future needs.

- Very flexible to our timing schedule and arrived on time - Has good knowledge and shared with us the details and reason of each pooja - Clearly gave a list of pooja items for us to bring. We forgot a couple of items, and luckily he had those items with him. - Very nice person. Would highly reccommend him

Venkatesh Bhat Guruji is an ocean of knowledge. He is capable of making even novice learners chant the Slokas comfortably which instills a great sense of confidence in individuals. Great experience

Pandit Pradeep Madhyastha recently performed our Gruhapravesha Pooja in Bay Area, California. He gave us a detailed list of items and instructed us very well about all the preparations to be made. He arrived timely on the day of the pooja and conducted the whole pooja in a very traditional and authentic manner. He is very knowledgeable and explained in detail the significance of each pooja that we performed. He is very friendly and we were very happy and pleased with the pooja. We look forward to inviting him over for all our future events.

I have seen Guru Pradeep ji performing multiple poojas and he is very professional. Very traditional and knowledgable. Explains each pooja ritual in detail if interested. He follows the authentic rituals and doesn't try to just finish up and accommodate multiple programs. Really appreciate his dedication and service to the community here in bay area. Will definitely go back to him for any future pooja needs as well.

Great Puja for Havan and Satya Narayana, with good explanations

Sri Pradeep did a fantastic job with the puja. He’s extremely patient, explains well, doesn’t rush. Very pleasant person. Would highly recommend him.

We recently bought a new house and chose Sri Pradeep to do our grihapravesh pooja because he was the most professional, accommodating and unassuming I spoke to. He was able to find the right muhurtam dates/times and also gave a clear list of pooja items to bring. Since we were still in-between homes, he was kind enough to accommodate our last minute request to bring all the required items himself. Sri Pradeep performed the poojas very diligently and patiently while keeping us feeling comfortable. He is very authentic and knowledgable and I definitely recommend Sri Pradeep for any pooja events.

We had Priest Pradeep Madhyasta for our house warming ceremony in Tracy. The pooja/ceremony was very timely and well done. We felt very good and want to have Priest Pradeep for all our future needs. He is one of the very best when it comes to procedures in the poojas - very thorough and very knowledgeable. We are very happy to have him visit and bless our new home.

Sri Pradeep recently performed our grhapravesha in the california bay area. We did not have many essential items needed for the puja as we were still in the moving process, but he came prepared with all the critical items, and communicated clearly to us as to what additional things were needed on our end. The puja itself was conducted in a very authentic manner -- many of our family (who attended virtually due to COVID19) noted that it was done in a more traditional manner than they have seen elsewhere. We would suggest that clients who engage with Sri Pradeep should come with some baseline knowledge and experience performing pujas as things do move very quickly. Sri Pradeep was very professional and friendly. Overall we were very pleased and will definitely engage him in future functions.

We recently had Satyanarayana Vratam performed at our home in Livermore. Our folks were with us who perform the ritual almost every month and were happy with his service, so you can measure the authenticity. His turn around time was quick, knowledge was on par and prices were reasonable while compared to other officiants in the Bay area. Definitely recommend!

Beautiful puja done by a priest at my place . Temple was very professional in handling the appointment. Best wishes.

I Like this Temple. The Priest is very Friendly and so is the Committee and all work very hard. There a very Spiritual, Devotional feeling when we see Dieties in this Temple. Best for Family Sathyanarana Pujas and all Pujas and Celebrations.

During last five to seven years, It developed from shed to at par with livermore temple. All festivals, religious services are celebrated with at most adherence to the customs and ways we used to do like back home in India. Priests are very good. Hope to see this grow to be the best temple in USA with lot of divine vibrations.

At this place culture meets tradition. All Priests are very friendly and knowledgeable. Share

Peaceful Temple to pray for. Feels very energetic after visiting the temple every time

Wonderful place for peaceful prayers and meditation. The priests are knowledgeable....well maintained place.

Very punya karyam

Nice clam place.

Nice place

Pt Pradeep did the Ganapathi, Navagraha, Mrutyunjaya homams and abhishekam for my mom's 70th birthday. Panditji was intensive, understanding and did all the homams according to convention. Profoundly suggest Pt Pradeep Archakam.

We were searching for good priest for house warming pooja and Pt Pradeep was alluded to us by a companion who had seen him performing pooja before. We were truly inspired with his truthfulness in ensuring every one of the ceremonies are performed to the best of our fulfillment. He was sufficiently quiet to connect with us in every one of the exercises he performed. We were truly content with our choice to pick him for our home warming and homa. We unquestionably would suggest him for any sort of Hindu customs.

Pradeep Archakam performed the Navarathri Devi Puja for our North Bay Hindu Center which is a non-benefit set up to construct a sanctuary in the North Bay. There were more than 150 individuals going to the capacity. He administered the kids' Saraswathi puja service and the Kumkum Archana for the women. Cleric Pradeep directed the kids' function pleasantly, clarifying the ceremonies unmistakably and calmly and every one of the participants eagerly took part all the while. He likewise directed the women Devi puja service pleasantly. With everything taken into account, Pradeep Archakam was reliable, directed the puja productively and well. We would profoundly prescribe Priest Pradeep for a religious administration - both individual and gathering.

Pradeep is an extremely dependable cleric. He's exceptionally learned and accommodating. He offered us some assistance with doing a house warming and Satyanarayana Vratham. His administrations are exceptionally thorough and his narrating is clear for everybody to get it.
