We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Pandit Manuj Ji for our wedding. Right from our first phone call nearly a year out, he walked us through every step and had no problem tailoring the ceremony to work with our timeline. He was also kind enough to fit in a Grah Shanti pooja just a few days before the wedding, even though we asked only a couple months before. We are so grateful for his blessings and for making our big day so special. If you're looking for a pandit who is knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about what he does, we can't recommend Pandit Ji enough! read more

I recently had Shani and Rahu Grah Shanti Puja at home and it was beyond amazing. Pandit Ji is very well educated to lead such Puja. He is different when compared to others primarily because his ability to explain each mantra and it's significant. This allows us to sunder well to the mantras with proper understanding. He and his wife both are extremely warm, respectful And knowledgeable in what they do. I will recommend him to all my friends as a blessing. read more

Pandit ji is truly excellent. He conducted our Saraswati Puja for our academy's annual celebration dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. Although this was the first time he performed the puja for us, the experience was wonderful and very meaningful. What made it special was the way he explained each mantra carefully and clearly. He took the time to help everyone understand the significance of the rituals. All the students and their families really appreciated this, as it made the puja more engaging and spiritually fulfilling. The aarti was performed beautifully, and the entire ceremony was conducted with great devotion and patience. Thank you so much for your service. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a pandit to perform your puja. read more

Pundit Dutt was amazing at our home cleansing ceremony. He came on time, helped me with the samagri I couldn't get and also explained everything in English including the logic behind what we were doing- it was very helpful for our kids who have grown up outside of India. read more

I am happy that I went with Pandit Manuj ji to perform puja at my home. He not only performed the rituals with devotion but also explained the significance in English.

Grateful to have known Pandit Manuj Dutt Ji for the past 4 years. His gentle, calm, and ever-smiling nature radiates warmth and positivity. The way he chants mantras is truly magical - it connects you with the divine energy in a way that words cannot describe. Recently, we were blessed to have him perform a Pooja at our home, and the experience was nothing short of uplifting. Our home now feels spiritually enriched, and we couldn't be more thankful for this divine blessing. He coordinated every step of our event from the list of items to perfect mahurat. He also got most of the items so that you need not worry about it. Thank you Pandit Ji. read more

What isn't there to say about Pandit Manuj? He's been our family Pandit now for a few years, and most recently married my husband and I. He was so adaptable and able to provide us with a ceremony outline that included traditional Hindu elements, as well as Western/Catholic traditions. He was instrumental in helping make sure everyone involved knew what was going on, and was flexible to meet with us virtually beforehand to make the wedding schedule. He's so fun and kind and we love having Pandit Manuj in our life! read more

I contacted Pandit Manuj to perform a shortened version of a Hindu wedding ceremony that focuses on the spiritual aspects of the ceremony and explain everything in English and he delivered beyond our expectations! Panditji is so knowledgeable and explains things in a way that's engaging and memorable. He kept it to the time limit that we requested, so that we would have time to go over our own personal vows at the end. He did the shlokas in Sanskrit, but explained everything else in English and it was so informative for us and also our English speaking family members. Not only is Pandit Manuj a great Pandit who is willing to customize the ceremony to you, he is also such a warm and kind person. It was so nice to have his presence on our wedding day, amid what's usually a stressful day he provided a wonderful sense of peace and calm. He is a cheery person and we were so blessed to have him perform a beautiful, spiritual, and memorable wedding ceremony for us. I will definitely use him in the future for any other poojas and even astrology readings. We highly recommend Pandit Manuj, you'll be happy you chose him :) read more

Great experience.Panditji was absolutely perfect. Our wedding was a.mixture of 2 cultures. Indian and American. This makes it more difficult for the American side to understand our traditions and custome. Panditji explained each vidhi so that everyone understood the meaning, reason and why it is important. Panditji will 100% be my goto panditji for the weddings if and when my daughters get married. Thank you Panditji for a wonderful job done by you read more

We're glad that he is priest in our local simi valley temple. We called him yesterday for Satya Narayan puja and he was on time with all preparations and started the puja on time at 6:30. We had called our close family friend to attend the puja and get the blessings of diety, everyone praised how Panditji conducted the puja and explained in English for people who don't understand Hindi very well. My both kids attended the puja and they learned a lot about our culture and why puja is done. I was surprised how interested they were in-spite of being born and brought here. Panditji is very calm and was never in rush to finish the puja unlike other pundits. I highly recommend his service. The best part is he never asked for a fixed price for his service, whatever we gave he accepted willingly and I was so pleased as I don't like haggling. Way to go Panditji, we're glad that you conducted the puja and hopefully almighty has his blessings on all of us and give us strength and prosperity. We will call him for every occasion going forward. Jai Sai Ram. Thanks read more

Pandit Manuj Dutt conducted our ceremony at a small hotel in Los Angeles. We met once on Zoom before the ceremony to give a brief overview. On the big day, he arrived early, he and his assistant walked us through every part of the ceremony. I knew next-to-nothing about Hindu ceremonies going into this, and he was helpful in not just explaining the ritual but also the mindset Hindus bring into prayer and ceremony. The ceremony ran for around an hour and fifteen minutes, he and his assistant run a tight ship. Highly recommended for a moving ceremony in which everyone can participate. read more

Panditji conducted our wedding and Ganesh puja in a small town in Mexico. The ceremony was conducted perfectly with everything explained in English with Sanskrit verses and most importantly, he was able to keep the ceremony short but meaningful as requested. He and his spouse/assistant, Shweta, were a positive presence and they made sure to bring everything so we were not scrambling for items before the wedding. Panditji has a vibrant voice and a smiling face and he finds ways to involve everyone, leading to an engaging and meaningful ceremony. We highly recommend his service. read more

Pandit Manuj performed my wedding and he was amazing. I am Hindu but was marrying someone who is not Indian. We talked to Pandit about having a traditional ceremony focused on the spiritual aspects of Hindu weddings and in an abbreviated version. He completely understood the type of ceremony we wanted and fulfilled that. I loved our ceremony so much, so did my husband and both our families. I had multiple people (Hindu and not) come up to me and say that it was one of the best ceremonies they had ever witnessed. Pandit explained everything to my guests in english. He kept the ceremony light hearted, even with jokes at times and the guests and we loved it. I am so happy with our ceremony and could not recommend him more. read more

Pandit Manuj performed a puja at my home with the utmost professionalism. All the parts of the puja held to the Hindu standards of religion. One of the highlights was how he included all of the guests. This way each person in attendance felt the blessings of the day.

I look forward to my next occasion when I can have him over to bless us with his presence. read more

Pandit Manuj performed my son's annaprashan pooja and it was truly glorious. He was so professional, and explained the mantras and elements of the function. He engaged everyone watching and my son. It was done during a difficult time for me as my husband had passed away earlier this year after my son was born. Panditji was very empathic to this circumstance and facilitated a divine energy that was felt by those in attendance. He created a spirtual atmosphere that was both moving and meaningful. I highly recommend Pandit Manuj for religious functions. read more

Mr. Dutt was incredibly easy to work with. Great pundit who performed exceptionally during our wedding ceremony.

We recently got our Grah Pravesh pooja done by Pandit Manuj Dutt ji & it was perfect. When I called him first to inquire about pooja, he answered all my questions patiently & explained the process of pooja properly. He gave us the list of stuff (samagri) needed for pooja, which was helpful. He gave proper instructions about the stuff to buy & even brought the stuff I couldn't find at store. He was right on time according to the mahurat. He did a very nice pooja & hawan for the house, & explained the mantras in hindi as well as in english for everyone to understand. It was a great experience & we felt very positive vibes during & after the pooja. He gave us lots of blessings & good wishes for our new journey. We were highly satisfied with the pooja. It was a very positive & pious experience Thank you Pandit Manuj Dutt ji to fill our house with so much positive energy & blessings. read more

Panditji is so kind and so nice to work with. I'm a Desi fusion specialist wedding planner and had the pleasure of Panditji performing the marriage rituals for my recent clients. He was very engaging, made the ceremony simple to understand for the non-Indian family and helped everyone feel comfortable and included.

He truly personifies my personal mission of creating synergy for couples and families so they see the beauty in their differences and build bridges to a wonderful future. read more

A Big Dhanyawad (Thank you) to Maharaj-ji (Pundit Manuj Dutt-ji) who recently came to our place to performed SHUDDI HAWAN (Purification Prayer) and POOJA. He did all the rituals to the very details of what you typically expect to happen only in homes or Temples in India. Good Part was, we didn't have to run around to get Pooja and Hawan Samagri (Prayer Necessities) that are a pain to find nearby our homes or in most places within USA. His knowledge about Vedas and Mantras is unmatched and use to recite and explain each MANTRA/SHLOKA during the prayer process. Amazing part was to explain the same in ENGLISH that my kids were able to easily understand and relate to. (like Ganesha Prayer and Aarti) He also explains the reasons of why such Hawans are performed and how it helps each one of us. Many Thanks once again to Punditji for gracing our place by performing the Hawan. read more

We were blessed to have Panditji perform a shaanti havan at our home recently when we lost our beloved father. Panditji and his team made it so easy for us to organize details and what was needed for the puja. He very kindly also rearranged his busy schedule to fit in our needs of a very early morning havan as we wanted to zoom include family in India also. Panditji's explaining the mantras to the children in the family and the bigger meaning behind why we do a shanti havan made it an inclusive and meaningful event for even our new all-american generation. The elders well versed in sanskrit and riti were also very pleased with his clear enunciation of the shlokas and ahutiyan as per our Arya samaji customs. Would highly recommend panditji for all occasions and events and know that we will also continue to have him grace our home for future puja and prayers. read more
