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.

Madhava Acharyulu garu has performed a family wedding ceremony here in Dallas and since then he has been the goto person for every ritual in our family. He is one of the best Purohit we have seen. His discipline, commitment and dedication to the ritual process is amazing and he makes sure that we understand the significance and importance of the ritual process and inspires us to involve into it. It has always been an amazing experience and we are looking forward for many more.

Madhava Charyulu garu has been the priest for our wedding and also for our gruha pravesam Puja in Dallas. we would definitely recommend him because he was punctual and on time for each of our events.

Thank you for the in depth information on my family from their Vedic Charts and all the required healings and blessings from the Gods/Godesses from the intense poojas and homas to clear the negative energies and past karma. The results have been amazing.

Two years after moving into our new home in Seattle, our lives turned upside down. We experienced an unexpected divorce, and our lives were in turmoil. In the summer of 2019, I asked Guruma to visit our home. She performed numerous pujas to remove negative energies that had apparently resided in the home since it was first built in the 60s. She also did a planetary life analysis of family members and coached us in daily prayers. It’s now been four years since her visit and we feel blessed to experience peace and joy that seemed unimaginable just a few years ago. I’m very thankful to Guruma and her daughter Darvika for spending several days with us and conducting the needed prayers to bring love and light into our lives!

• - 5/5

After seeing the positive results of Guruma’s prayers in the US, I asked her to visit my mother and younger sister in the UK. She performed numerous prayers for my younger sister who has learning difficulties. Over the last three years, we’ve seen a remarkable difference in her ability to manage almost all household work including cooking, cleaning, washing, and organizing. We are relieved and happy to see her make so much progress in such a short time. We are grateful for Guruma’s love and prayers!

Best decision ever! Our most important vendor for our wedding was the officiant because we needed someone that could beautifully illustrate our interfaith love story. Dr. Mike Ghouse did just that! He brought together our Islamic and Christian faiths in a way our wedding guests were completely blown away by. Both faiths were represented in his sermon and prayers beautifully. Dr. Mike Ghouse was extremely professional in everything he did and was attentive from start to finish. Above all, he was a joy to work and extremely pleasant and positive. We HIGHLY recommend him for any couple searching for an interfaith officiant. He will make your special day memorable for years to come.

Pandit Tirumala was very professional. We had to arrange a short wedding ceremony for our son in Austin while we lived in New York. We talked to Pandit over the phone and he agreed to perform the ceremony within allotted time. We asked him to come for a rehearsal with a short notice and he did show up. The first photo is Pandit being picked up by an ATV as the wedding was held outdoor in a large ranch. He was very pleasant. The actual ceremony happened 2 days later. He came on time to the venue, and conducted the ceremony when his time came. The wedding setup was fairly simple and was arranged to accommodate 4 different religious ceremonies. He guided the Western audience by clapping at the right moment, like the pinnacle moment of adorning the thaali (gold necklace). He managed the time by reducing the number of phases in a typical wedding event. He is young and has strong voice in case the audio system turned out to be weak. We were delighted to have him conduct the ceremony for our son, and will recommend him without hesitation to any one.

We requested the priest services of Sri Narasimha Chary Tirumala for performing the wedding of our daughter in Lubbock, Texas. We are very glad to inform you that Narasimha Chary garu performed the ceremony very authentically according to the customs of Telugu families. There were a large number of Americans (Caucasian White Americans, including our son-in-law) in the audience. They had a wonderful exposition to our culture and they appreciated our customs and culture. They made a lot of positive comments about the Priest. Our relatives in India watched ceremony on-line and they were thrilled to witness such an authentic ceremony performed in the United States. Some of them commented that our ceremony was more authentic than they experience locally. Narasimha Chary garu was very punctual and performed the wedding ceremony in a very professional way. We are very fortunate have a such a learned priest in our Austin Hindu Temple and we commend the Temple administration for having a such a talented person. We thank the Austin Hindu Temple for facilitating the services of priests. We are also grateful to Tirumala garu for his patience, accommodation of our requests, and timely performance of ceremony.

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.
