Religious Organizations in Trenton, NJ

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.

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.

Srinivas Garu is really dedicated and does it with devotion, very patient and cheering personality.

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.
