About: Pandit Neall
“Teaching and promoting the timeless wisdom and beauty of Sanatan Dharma is my primary objective” -Pandit Neall
Namaste!
Pandit Neall reverently serves as a teacher and storyteller of Vedic Sanātan Dharma, devoted to helping people rediscover its living essence in a modern world that often feels disconnected from it. His calling is not just to perform rituals, but to revive meaning — to show that ancient does not mean outdated, and that the wisdom of our ancestors still has the power to heal our hearts, shape our minds, and guide our actions today.
He believes Dharma must be understood and felt — not as a rigid set of traditions, but as a living practice that uplifts, heals, and connects us to the eternal. Rooted in the Vedas and inspired by Maharishi Swami Dayanand Saraswati, his Aja Pandit Bhairo Prashad, and his Guruji Pandit Moniram Persaud, his approach seeks to bridge the depth of Sanskrit with the clarity of modern understanding.
“The goal of every soul is to remember who we are, to return to where we come from, and to find our way back home”
Every yajña, wedding, or sanskar he performs is recited in traditional Sanskrit and translated in simple, relatable English — so that everyone present, young or old, can follow along and feel the meaning behind every word. He believes Dharma must be experienced, not merely observed; therefore, his ceremonies and teachings are immersive, educational, and deeply personal.
A Holistic Vision of Dharma

For Pandit Neall, Dharma extends far beyond ritual. It is a way of living that nurtures both the inner world and the outer world. His ongoing work — including promoting spirituality, mental-health awareness, and animal rights — reflects a holistic vision of Dharma that honors both the ancient and the evolving.
His love for animals and commitment to Ahimsā (non-violence) form a central part of his spiritual path. Through his “Plant-Based Pandit” platform, he advocates for compassionate living — teaching that true spirituality includes how we treat all sentient beings.
In his words, “The fire of the yajña burns brighter when our hearts burn with compassion.” He believes that being Dharmic in today’s world means standing up for the voiceless, living consciously, and extending our prayers beyond the temple — into the way we eat, speak, and coexist
Bringing Dharma to a New Generation
Pandit Neall is especially passionate about connecting youth to Dharma. He sees the next generation not as passive inheritors of tradition but as active builders of a new spiritual future — one where questioning, creativity, and compassion coexist. By integrating storytelling, reflection, and digital outreach, he helps young people see that the Vedas are not relics of the past but blueprints for conscious living.
His vision is clear: to make Dharma accessible, applicable, and alive — a source of light for those navigating the challenges of today and the uncertainties of tomorrow.
As the Spiritual Leader of the Vedic Cultural Samaj of Central Florida, located at 6083 North Lane, Orlando, he continues to bring people together through Sandhyā and Havan Yajña every Sunday from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, cultivating a spiritual community grounded in reflection, growth, and service.
Since his journey as a Vedic Pandit officially began at the age of 15, for 22+ years Pandit Neall has provided countless ceremonies, teachings, and community programs aimed at preserving the heart of Dharma while speaking to the realities of modern life. He attended the University of Florida — Go Gators! — where he studied Sanskrit and Religion, deepening his understanding of India’s ancient spiritual heritage and its relevance in the world today. He later received his MBA from Rollins College, blending his passion for spirituality with a strong foundation in leadership, ethics, and service.
Pandit Neall currently resides in Orlando, Florida, with his wife Karishma and their beloved dog Bentley. Outside of his spiritual and community work, he enjoys baseball, music, cooking, and traveling — finding inspiration in the beauty of new cultures, the rhythm of melody, and the quiet lessons of the open road.
“The flame of Dharma doesn’t age — it simply needs new hands to hold it.”
