I am a community Pandit (priest), who performs Hindu weddings and pujas in Sanskrit with detailed English explanation – ergo, puja with subtitles. For more than 15 years, I have been offering these services to help Indians in the diaspora (especially children and young adults) understand the significance of the various ceremonial steps, the meaning of the beautiful Sanskrit mantras, and their relevance in this day and age.
Growing up in a Brahmin family in India, I was was introduced to various Hindu ceremonies at an early age while I was learning Sanskrit in school. From time to time my father, who was also a Sanskrit scholar, would offer additional insights on various ceremonies which fascinated me. After coming to USA, I continued my Sanskrit lessons and also started learning more about different rituals. This led to the creation of my own “puja templates” where I retain the essential Vedic steps and mantras for each ceremony and combine that with commentary in English.
I am blessed to have the opportunity to offer these services to the Indian community in North America. For further information, please contact me at: [pujawithsubtitles AT gmail.com].
Thank you for visiting my site. Shubham!
