My daughter Aarushi and son in law Sameer,both wanted their wedding ceremony to be performed by a female priest and initially the idea was not very welcomed by the family but when we first met Acharya Shruti ji to discuss about the wedding, we all felt confident and agreed that there could be no better person than her. And without her presence our special wouldn’t have been so special. Our whole family and the guests at the wedding also expressed how much they all enjoyed her presence and how beautifully the wedding ceremony was performed .Her expertise in Sanskrit Shlokas and the way she explained everything to the wedding couple while also keeping the guests involved throughout the ceremony was truly remarkable. The light hearted jokes cracked by her were appreciated by all and made the ceremony full of laughter and happy tears, just the way we all wanted it to be. Acharya Shruti ji is setting new trend in the Indian society by proving that females can achieve anything they desire and performing religious ceremonies is not about gender but what one learns about religion , spirituality and rituals. We look forward to many more happy celebrations with her.
