Hare Krishna.
I have had the rare opportunity to serve alongside Pt. Ravi Sharma (Rupa Goswami Prabhu) on numerous and varied occasions, from Deity installations and initiation ceremonies to entering new premises and baby showers.
Pt. Ravi Sharma (Rupa Goswami Prabhu) conducts all the ceremonies in a manner that is true to the scripture. His pronunciation is also very accurate.
There is a fond remembrance of the ceremonies affectionately conducted by him that results in an intimate atmosphere.
I always look forward to having another chance to serve with him.

As the Head Priest at our temple in Central London I am often asked to perform religious ceremonies but mostly have to refuse as I do not have the time.
I always recommend that they contact Pt. Ravi Sharma (Rupa Goswami) who is not only very expert and competent but also very friendly, leaving everyone very satisfied and happy.

Knowledgeable, personal, engaging and accessible are just 4 of the words I use to describe Pt. Ravi Sharma (Rupa Goswami Das). As a priest and person he is excellent and authentic and timely. I have had the honour to know him for many years. He has moved houses for us, named babies, blessed pregnancies all in a proper and complete way. He is friendly, engages the audience, explains what is going on and more importantly, why we perform a particular ceremony. I have no hesitation in recommending him for any puja that is required.

I have known Pt. Ravi Sharma (Rupa Goswami Das) for many years.
I have worked closely with him in doing many pujas.
I saw him do safe delivery ceremonies for pregnant ladies, name-giving ceremonies for babies, hair-cutting rituals and first grain-feeding as well as alphabet learning samskaras.
I saw him do very elaborate wedding ceremonies, funeral ceremonies and very elaborate deity installations, he is very meticulous in everything that he does, his policy is punctuality and cleanliness.
I have so much confidence in what Pt. Ravi Sharma does that I already told my family members when I give up my body Pt. Ravi Sharma should do my last rites.
He is the best.

It was our privilege to have our ceremony conducted by the highly esteemed, Pt. Ravi Sharma. He has been trained from a young age in line with the Vedic scriptures and this is visible in his authentic ceremonies, Brahminical character and expertise.
When I saw him conduct a friend’s wedding, I was very impressed with the Vedic standard and the attention to the divine couple, Radha and Krishna, during the ceremony. I knew I wanted a similar focus in my own wedding ceremony. I am grateful to Pt. Ravi Sharma for being available to conduct our ceremony. Our guests were also well engaged from his explanations and his humour.
We continue to recommend him to friends for their weddings and other ceremonies.

Pt. Ravi Sharma (Rupa Goswami Das) very kindly performed a special home puja for us. From the outset he inspired confidence by providing consultation, clear guidance and simple instructions. He is very well spoken and highly educated in Shastra and astrology.
Ravi Sharma explained everything in detail as the puja progressed. We all felt uplifted with his presence and Vedic knowledge. As a second-generation British Indian I can be very demanding of who performs pujas and how they come across in person.
His demeanour puts everyone at ease in a friendly atmosphere and he strikes me as an excellent master of ceremonies who would be able to engage audiences small and large. This is exactly what one would want of a learned Brahmin for rites of passage.
As an addition he provided some very accurate astrology readings which gave me greater conviction in his abilities. Overall, I was very impressed and would thoroughly recommend Pt. Ravi Sharma as your Hindu priest for all occasions.

I’ve know Pt. Ravi Sharma (Rupa Goswami prabhu) for many years, and developed a relationship with him over time.
He’s always made time for me and has provided me with valuable insight into my astrological chart, or with samskaras or Yajnas.
I’d thoroughly recommend him to friends and family

Pt. Ravi Sharma and His Dharam Patni both are a joy to have personal pujas or ceremonies done.
Over the years our family and relatives have had the honour of Prabhu ji performing special pujas and yagyas for us from weddings to births and has been a part of our important spiritual milestones in life. Prabhu ji is very well versed in the scriptures, conducts all pujas to the highest degree not leaving any stone unturned! His noble character, attention to detail and dedication to performing the best pujas and yagyas comes across leaving the best impression of traditional Brahmin in the modern age. I would recommend that anyone reading this, experience spirituality at its best offered by prabhuji and his dharampatni and involve them to invoke blessing in the most important occasions in life!
Your humble servant,
Anuragi devi dasi
Pandit Ravi Sharma has been our family priest for the good part of almost a decade conducting engagement & marriage ceremonies, Narasimhadev Yajnas, Simantanoyanam ceremonies (protection for mother and child within the womb) amongst other pujas and astrological readings.
Right from the outset Pandit Ravi and his good wife Shyama Vallabha devi offer a package of support which encompass a variety of aspects that were important for us and our family.
Pandit Ravi has mastered the difficult art of keeping the audience focused on the ceremony and keeping them engaged by his clear explanations and commentary of his worship whilst maintaining silence over long periods of time.
Whether the occasion is big or small Pandit Ravi has a very unique style for conducting the ceremony with his charismatic persona, attention to detail and integrity of keeping within Vedic scripture and injunction.
