Childhood of Shastriji: Blessed by birth in such a great family, Aditya Shastri has continued the legacy of bagging laurels and certificates from a very early age. With teachers like late grandfather Pujya Niranjan Shastriji and father Krushnadutt Shastriji; Aditya was able to chant around 150 shlokas when he was just 2 and a half years old. At this early age, his father and grandfather made sure that Aditya got a chance to sing pious praises of the Almighty whenever possible.According to his grandfather, “Aditya has been trained right from the early days so that he has no fear of the crowd.”

Brahma Sambandha Diksha : Champaranya Pithadhishwar Pujyapad Goswami 108 Shri Dwarkeshlalji Maharaj Shree (Champaranya – Kandivali – Mumbai) gave him the Brahma Sambandh Diksha Mantra.

Turning Point:

In 2000, Aditya received a certificate for his excellent chanting of Shlokas and verses from “Vallabh Nidhi Sanskrit Vidhyalaya” established by Pujya Dadaji – Golok Vasi Param Adarniya Krushnashankar Shastriji, Sola Vidyapeeth.
Aditya was appreciated for his clarity, confidence, and pronunciation in Sanskrit which is not a usual aspect in today’s era.

In 2001 – Another certificate from Vallabh Nidhi Sanskrit Vidhyalaya for the same reason of chanting verses.  A certificate was offered by Pujya Shree Dr. Hasmukhbhai Joshiji.
