Weddings


As we are a cloistered monastery for monastics, we do not participate in or have weddings on the property. However, many couples do come here for blessings in Kadavul Hindu Temple after they are married elsewhere. In the State of Hawaii there are no priests specializing in Hindu weddings. A number of couples have brought a priest of their tradition who conducts the wedding ceremony at another location on the island. And then the wedding party will come to the temple for an archana and to get blessings from Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami

Priests Who Can Do Weddings

These priests are willing to come to Hawaii (you sponsor their travel) to perform a wedding.
