Before you begin. Your answers here stay in your browser — this website has no database and stores nothing about you. One step asks for your name and a phone number so Gurukkal can call you back; like every other answer, those stay in your browser and travel only inside the message you choose to send. When you reach the last step and pick a time, everything above — your occasion, the poojas, the place and city, your contact details and anything you write in your own words — is attached to your request so Gurukkal can see it without you retyping. The time itself is picked in Cal.com, our scheduling service. Nothing is sold, shared or used for advertising. Privacy · Your choices

Your request

Tell Gurukkal about your sacred occasion.

A few quick choices, then you’ll pick a provisional time in Cal.com. Your name and a phone number are asked for here so Gurukkal can call you back; they stay in your browser and travel only in the message you choose to send. Nothing here confirms a booking.

Requested

Your requested time has been recorded.

Before you ask

How the offering is decided

There are no prices anywhere on this site, and there is no payment page. The offering — the dakṣiṇā — is discussed personally with Sri Kumar Gurukkal, as it traditionally is, and it is settled before the day so that nobody is working it out afterwards.

What shapes it is straightforward, and worth knowing before you write:

Which ceremony, and its scope. A naming ceremony and a full wedding are different undertakings. So are a pooja and a homam, and so is a ceremony with several rites included.
How long it runs, and how much preparation it takes. Some ceremonies need materials prepared and a sequence planned well in advance.
Where it is held, and how far it is. A ceremony in Pleasanton and one in Sacramento are not the same day’s travel.
What you are providing and what he is. The samagri list settles this, item by item.
Your family’s own custom. Some families have a practice about this and it is respected.

Asking costs nothing, and a request is an enquiry, not a booking. If cost is a real constraint for your family, say so plainly when you write. It is a normal thing to say to a priest and it has never been a reason not to ask.
