I could not perform my late husbands Shraddha as there were no male members in our family and was looking for a solution.When I contacted Punyashram and spoke to them, I was v pleased and happy to know that there was a solution to what I was seeking.I performed the online Narayana bali puja ,the Tripindi Puja and the Til Homa qhich they did with the utmost sincerity , complete Vedic way and to my full satisfaction.It is a boon and great help to people to have this kind of Seva. We sincerely thank Rajagopal Guruji and for the wonderful way in which he has organised Punyashram.I highly reccomend them for any Pujas that one may need to do for their Pitras.

Narayana Bali pitru dosha parihara Pooja was done extremely well here at Ashram by Purohit followed by Tila homa chanting by Brahmin Purohits.

Gokarna Puja Services, is undoubtedly the best place to get your pujas done. We absolutely loved the way the pujas were conducted. Your pundits young and old, were very thorough and knowledgeable and conducted the puja proceedings with such sincerity and professionalism. We were absolutely impressed with one and all of them.The satvik food offered is the best tasting food that I and my wife have had on our trip to India. Their chef is also a good human being.We remain extremely grateful to Mr Vidyadhar for treating us so well and for being so sincere and honest in his dealings with us. We will never ever forget him and will keep coming back in the years to come. Our bond with Gokarna Puja Services is now life long.We recommend everyone try out their genuinely fantastic puja services.Our sincerest regards and pranam to Raj GOPAL Guruji.

We performed Narayan nag bali pooja for pitr dosha in presence of family member and online together. The experience was really wonderful which will transcend you into the ancient vedic world. From initial contact, it was as if you are getting guidance from gurus. Guruji explained every issue in detail and gave ample time to clarify all the doubts. Brahmins who conducted the pooja were extremely knowledgeable and patient, explaining every small step and its importance. It will be heavenly to visit there in person and get first hand experience of traditional yagna and havan.

I thought it’s all commercial, hence I was very apprehensive initially to book the service but they proved me wrong. The rooms & bathrooms are excellent & very clean. Narayana Bali was performed with so much patience to help & comfort my 80 yr old father-in-law. At times we couldn’t get an auto or taxi to commute from ashram, Raj Gopal Guruji sent his personal car considering the elderly with us, that was a very kind gesture. I strongly recommend this place for Narayana Bali. Guruji thank you for all the guidance & kindness.

Pandit Shastri ji, the most knowledgeable and humble person, who knows every detail of every mantra. He explained each and every mantra we pronounced.Tila Homa was performed meticulously.Guruji suggested more pujas based on our birth chart. We got those done there also. It was done with solid perfection. I am really happy and got inner peace.We stayed in Punnya Ashram.

Its a very great experience. We could not personally present for Tripind Sraddh for our Grand parents. So I opted for the ceremony without presence. Today I received the videos of the same and we felt very happy. Thank you so much to the organizers.

We were there to perform the shraadha of my grand other. We were 12 of us and we stayed in gokarna for 2 days. The accommodation facilities were very good. The rooms were very clean and the staff(two guys) were very friendly. There was a cook who prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner for us on both days. food was very tasty as well. The rituals performed was also satisfactory . Overall a good experience. Sincere thanks to Rajgopal Guruji for taking care of us so well.

We performed Tripindi Shraddha one day and Maha Mrutyunjaya Homa along with Gana Homa and Navagraha Homa on the next day.The 6 priests were excellent in their chanting of mantras. The main priests explained logically the purpose and usefulness of the rituals. Gokarna is certainly the DAKSHINA KASHI.We are fortunate we have such a place in our Karnataka state which gives people a blissful experience.Rajgopal Adi Guruji has made very good arrangements for stay and food for the visitors in his place, which is SERENE.The charges are very reasonable and includes boarding and staying costs. The cook prepared satvik yet delicious food.We were fully satisfied overall. Deserves 100 % rating. ----- A retired banker.

Before reaching Gokarna,we were in contact with Rajgopal Guruji who guided us very well and fixed the date for performing Narayanbali pooja on the 4th July 2017.On reaching Gokarna,we stayed in the air conditioned hotel recommended by him which was the right choice and served us dinner and discussed step by step as to what to be done next day,the pooja day.We reached the ashram at 6.00am and was served breakfast and took us to the place where the pooja was performed.The arrangements were superb and the pooja was performed very eminent pandits.Various poojas was performed by different pandits to our fullest satisfaction.I strongly recommend persons visiting Gokarna for the first time to contact Rajgopal Guruji who is so reliable and a nice person to converse.The whole package is well affordable.We are beginning to see the benefits of performing Naryanbali pooja already within a weeks time.Thanks to Guruji.The food served on dinner,breakfast and lunch was excellent,can't get in ant hotel.

We were very well looked after by Sri Guru and their team,puja was successfully conducted bcoz has we believe,2 crow's sat on the coconut which was used and was to be smashed into the sea.Hospitality was very good,priests clearly made the Karma puja understandable.

Most experienced people with wide knowledge of shatra's and Vidhi's. They are very professional and treated us as family members. They performed Narayabali, Pind daan, tripati pind daan, Shraadh, Nag bali etc. They have shared why these pooja's are performed and what are the benefits of doing it. We are very happy and highly recommend to others. Om Gan Ganpatey Namah:
