About Venkitachalam Priest

My strong cultural and traditional foundation stems from the 10 years of education and nurture in the Gurukul environment. This experience allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the Vedic Shastras whilst providing groundwork for my journey into spirituality and becoming a Hindu Priest. Upon completion of my studies, I was presented with wonderful opportunities at the temple to strengthen my understanding of the Vedic Shastras and become increasingly aware of a system of rites which are important for different stages in a person’s life. I continue to learn the significance and benefits of spirituality and what it means to each of us. I perform a ‘silent’ Hindu wedding ceremony where I recite the verses in Sanskrit with an explanation in English, Gujarati & also in Hindi if required at various stages of the ceremony. This allows the couple and the guests to understand the reasons for each part of the ceremony and allows everyone to be a witness to the marriage and give the due respect the spiritual ceremony.
