A Hindu priest for twenty-five years, Shastri ji has led worship since 2000. He is now at the Hindu Temple in Burnaby, British Columbia, and has served at the Durga Mandir in Kapurthala, Punjab, and here with HSNA in Calgary. During the pandemic, the Hindu Temple Burnaby recognised him for his steady service to the community.
He holds a Master’s degree in Sanskrit from Guru Nanak Dev University and speaks Hindi, English, Punjabi, and Sanskrit. His grounding in the language and the shastras keeps the practice authentic, while his way of teaching makes the meaning of each ritual easy to follow.
