Our Guru & Inspiration
Pujya Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swa:mi:ji
HH Sri Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji is a globally revered spiritual leader in the Sri Ramanuja Sri Vaishnava tradition — a tireless servant of dharma, education, and humanity. He is the visionary behind the 216-foot Statue of Equality honoring Bhagavad Sri Ra:ma:nuja:cha:rya, and the founder of the Jeeyar Educational Trust (JET) — a worldwide mission uniting worship, learning, and selfless seva.
Sanjeevani Jeeyar A:sramam in New Jersey carries that mission forward in our community — a living center of temple worship, Ve:dic education, and service, open to all.
