About Me

My name is Shanmukam Kurrukkal and I am a qualified Hindu priest based in Zurich. I have been conducting rituals and practices for over 30 years in Switzerland.

I am a seventh-generation Hindu priest. I grew up next to my village's Shiva temple. There I gained invaluable knowledge from various gurus, respected in the community.

I then became a student at the Veda Patashala in Kanchipuaram, where I gained a deep understanding of Hindu scriptures such as the Vedas and other sacred texts. I also received formal training in Sanskrit.

I conduct pujas in all the cantons of Switzerland and all over Europe. I speak English, German and Tamil. 

Shanmukam Kurukkal is an experienced Hindu priest in Switzerland. He conducts pujas and rituals all over Europe.
