Paragbhai Dave officiated the wedding for my son and daughter-in-law at San Miguel de Allende in April 2022. We were very pleased with his easy-going approach, adaptability ( we wanted to incorporate some jain ceremony steps and he did those so well along with the traditional Hindu ceremony) his patience in explaining to the bride and groom - all the steps in detail and his pleasing personality. It was wonderful to work with him through the entire process. I would highly recommend him.

Paragbhai did our wedding ceremony this past year and we could not be happier with how it turned out. We wanted to keep our ceremony short and sweet as we were on a tight schedule and Parag made that happen. It helped that he was fluent in Gujarati and English. Paragbhai explained very nicely that our guests knew what was going on throughout the whole ceremony and they enjoyed that it was not painfully long. Thank you very much Paragbhai for your great service!

We had an opportunity to work with Paragbhai for our daughter’s wedding! We had an excellent experience with him. He was very accommodating to our needs and wishes and performed the Pooja and Ceremony within the time we had requested, without compromising any aspect of the rituals. And was on time for every event. His knowledge of our Hindu rituals and command over Sanskrit was more than adequate. He also had a great rapport with our children’s generation and was able to explain things in English where necessary. Another aspect we appreciated was that he did not go into any unnecessary details in his explanations. His demeanor was very friendly and easy going and his presence felt very reassuring! He was also available for meetings beforehand to make sure that everything went seamlessly on the days of the events. We will be definitely using his services for future events and highly recommend him!

Hi Navin! Thank you again for officiating our wedding ceremony. We thought the overall ceremony was fantastic. We thought you balanced the humor, the religious aspects, and numerous activities expertly. People thought you made a really great effort in getting to know Megan and me and really felt it was so special engaging with our respective families. We are so appreciative of you helping get our ceremony targeted to the important activities and keeping within our timeline. Megan's parents were extremely appreciative of all you did and making our day so special. We can't thank you enough for stepping in after our former priest was unresponsive and frankly, we're glad it happened this way. Should anyone be looking for a priest, you will be at the top of our list. Please let us know if there are any additional details you'd like us to provide or if there's any additional reviews you'd like us to fill out. Thank you again!

Excellent Vastu pooja experience! Being the first pooja in US I was skeptical in looking for a panditji on Sulekha but came across Naveen ji and from the very beginning there was a positive vibe in his voice and communicating. The way he conducted pooja was very well received by me and my family. He explained all the verses in Hindi and English beforehand. We felt very positive after the pooja and Navin ji's expertise is worth it all.

Navinbhai in a true sense is a Sanatani Hindu Priest who followed Sanatan Hindu religion in his life. Beauty of his services and himself are great. He is very knowledgeable and works according to the situation but still follows all important parts of the ceremony. We are really blessed to have him as a Priest. His blessings made me feel like blessings from God. I have not come across any such pious Brahmin family in a true sense in my entire life. whose entire family and home is following Hhindu religion in True sense. We are lucky to find. He made the ceremony so enjoyable with short descriptions of most steps. He has wonderful sense of humor and knowledge. The audience was much excited during the ceremony and he was highly appreciated by the audience. He could hold the audience performing ceremony in Fluent English in timely manner. I would highly recommend him and you’ll be lucky to have him.

SATYANARAYANJI katha and Pooja you performed was great. The kids said that you did a great job explaining the meaning behind things and answering any questions they had. Also it was great that you were patient and were not trying to speed through just to finish. Overall it was fantastic.

An enlightening experience with Navinbhai when he reads the horoscope. It’s pure science, facts and in depth analysis that revealed information that was only known to me which helps us to plan for the future knowing the strengths and weakness due to planetary effects. I recommend it for anyone who is looking to enhance their life and has an open mind to receive the insights and willing to take necessary action.

Navin Uncle, I had so many problems with my personal life. My daughter had quit the study from medical college, she didn’t want to go back to the college. She was totally frustrated. we are very happy now and everything got on track after we did the pujas and started wearing stones. I get very good sleep because of mental peace. My personal problems are over, my daughter is back to study. I truly appreciate your help from bottom of my heart.

Uncle ji’s guidance has helped me tremendously and is very effective. He listens carefully to the situation or question and responds by carefully looking at the horoscope to suggest mantras and remedies. He suggests getting mantras yearly as way to keep negativity down. As the mantras are being completed. You can sense a change in the room. It brings an understanding and calmness.

He explained the significance of each ritual. He even looked at our horoscopes and palmistry and advised us accordingly. We are very greatful to Navin pandit ji for his deep knowledge and excellent advise!

We would recommend Pundit Navin Ji to anyone looking to do a fusion wedding! He took the time (twice!) to walk through things with us and discuss what is needed and what is okay with us for our day. We felt it was very personalized. Our crowd was mixed between Indian and American groups- both groups enjoyed the time and were able to follow along. We thank him for his time and help making our day special.

Navin Panditji is a very knowledgeable priest. He is very flexible and helped us select the exact rituals we wanted for our wedding after explaining the various options available from North to South of India including the special wedding rituals for our state, Telugu rituals. We enjoyed ourselves while performing the rituals since Pandit ji explained the significance of each ritual. He also took the time to look at our horoscopes and advised us on how we can strengthen our bond. We are very happy to have had such a learned priest’s blessings and help in starting our life’s journey together.

• - 5/5

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to choose Navin Ji as our priest. We were very keen on what kind of rituals we wanted and he was very accommodating to that. I went and met him and his family at his house. Navin Ji and I sat down and went over all rituals that are part of a Telugu wedding and he let me choose which ones I wanted and exactly how I wanted him to perform them. I honestly have never come across a priest that is so respectful and sincere. He told me that “I’m the boss of my wedding” and that I should have it the way I want it to be! Coming to the wedding, the audience loved him! He is very knowledgeable and explained the reasons behind every ritual. He kept them engaged through out the ceremony, and he was able to keep the audience on their feet with his amazing sense of humor. He can do a ceremony pretty much however you want it - you really see the boss! He’s simply the best.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Panditji Parag Davé as our Hindu priest our my wedding. He met with the both of us and the groom's mother and took a considerable amount of time to explain all of the steps for the wedding, both in English and Gujarati. He made himself available for a Grah Shanti a few days before the wedding with a very short notice and also made sure that the wedding day went very smoothly. We would highly recommend him! - Pratik and Susan

Hi Paragbhai, We couldn't be more happier to have had you as our priest in the wedding ceremony. You presented all the Sanskrit verses very clearly (in English where necessary) to all the guests, and they all enjoyed the ceremony. Also, you took the time to understand the meaning of each ritual and took it step by step with patience, for which we will be forever grateful. In all, the ceremony narration was simple, clear, fun, and energetic. We will definitely keep you in mind for future pujas at our place, and also heavily recommend them to others.

Mr. Dave did an amazing job at our vastu puja. He was so patient and explained everything every step of the way so that my children could understand the rituals. He even built in breaks to give my 7 year old time to stretch and take 5 minute breaks since it was a longer puja. Highly recommend, let him know exactly what you are looking for and he will accommodate your needs.

Navin is a sincere person, he has a genuine eagerness to help those who are in need. His accurate readings and interpretation of horoscopes have helped during the matchmaking phase. He was able to provide sufficient information that was accurate and he is a genuine person who did not use any type of trickery to manipulate the stated facts. If you can handle brutal truth and honesty, I would say he is the go-to-person because he is an accurate astrologer, and he is very straight-forward.

Pandit Navinji did our Virtual Grih Pravesh for my new home. He explained pooja so well that we all understood what we did.

We participated in a Lakshmi Narayan ?? Puja Organized by Paragbhai. He did a great job in ensuring everyone had a heads up on the Pooja items needed by sending a detailed list well in advance. Also, during the Pooja, he explained the rationale behind performing each and every step. The best part that I liked was when he quoted references from our Shastras like Purans, etc and sharing stories of wisdom in the Shastras along the way. Another icing on the cake was when he tried to tie the rituals to the practical aspects of day to day life and how we can benefit from the same by applying them in our lives. Last but not the least he was kind of enough in investing time to answer questions and clarify doubts. I will highly recommend him if you are looking for someone who can help understand the essence of the rituals and benefits from practical application in our lives. Jai Shree krishna ??

we were lucky to have him officiate our daughter’s wedding with Gujarati traditions. He is incredibly knowledgeable about numerous traditions and cultures and kept our barati/guest engaged the entire time. We had many guests tell us that they really enjoyed entire ceremony because of his ease of explaining the Hindu steps and his elaborate/detailed explanation. He is very jovial was easy to work during our actual ceremony and made us and the audience laugh numerous times. On a personal note, he was also extremely flexible with incorporating specific wedding rituals and appeased both our families. He was very easy, honest, reasonable to work with. If you are looking for a priest who is up to date with modern times and still understands traditions look no further. We are extremely lucky to have found Paragbhai Dave and he made our daughter’s wedding ceremony so enjoyable and event to remember forever…THANK YOU PARAGBHAI!

First I was reluctant to book an Online Puja. After communicating several times with Priest Dave ji, I felt comfortable. Priest Dave ji did an excellent Virtual Grih Pravesh Puja. Not only us, but our other friends that were watching our Grih Pravesh Puja online were astonished by his Virtual Puja service. Till Puja is over, we didn't realize that he is physically not with us. Thanks for your service. Looking forward to you see more often in our circle for Pujas.
