About

Acharya Ved Prakash Joshi, fondly known as Joshiji, hails from Uttarakhand in India. He has been an active Hindu priest in the USA for more than 20 years, and has over 25 years of experience in Vastu, Karmkaand, and Astrological Services. Currently, he serves at the Sadhana Mandir, Norcross, GA (metro Atlanta area). Born in a Brahmin family, he developed a passion for learning Sanskrit as a youth and acquired the prestigious degree of “Shastri” from the National Sanskrit Institute in Delhi (www.sanskrit.nic.in). Inspired by his parents, Joshiji then pursued further education and was conferred the title of “Acharya” by the Varanasi based Sampoornanand Sanskrit Vidyalaya (http://www.ssvv.ac.in/).

He carries the “Sahitya Ratna” title from Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Prayag. Joshiji also has a Post Graduate Masters Degree – MA in Hindi Journalism – from Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar, Uttarakhand (http://gkv.ac.in/).

Joshiji currently shares his knowledge of Hindu traditions, interprets ancient text with proper perspective and engages in delightful thought arousing discourses with devotees in the USA that visit his Sadhana Mandir where you can find him 7 days a week.

A “Sangeet Visharad”, Joshiji leverages various instruments such as harmonium and dholak to add to his vocals during renditions of Hanuman Chalisa, musical recitals during festivals and other regular planned events at the Sadhana Mandir (www.SadhanaMandir.com).
