Born on Diwali Day in 1956, HH Sri: Chinna Jeeyar Swa:mi:ji has spent seven decades embodying one instruction — serve all beings as service to God. From the 216-foot Statue of Equality to free schools for visually impaired children, from Ve:dic universities to disaster relief across continents, the A:cha:rya's Thirunakshathram is not merely a birthday — it is a global thanksgiving for a life given entirely to others.

As an offering of devotion and gratitude, devotees across the country unite each evening in the collective chanting of the Sri: Vishnu Sahasrana:ma Stho:thram. Join by phone from anywhere — no experience needed; chant along at your own pace.

For 33 years, the Eko:tthara Sahasra Kalasa:bhishe:kam — 1,001 sanctified kalasams — has been offered without interruption to Lord Sri: Ko:danda Ra:ma, Pujya Swa:mi:ji's beloved deity. The mantra-sanctified kalasam revered as Sri: Ra:ma Hrudayam — the Heart of Lord Sri: Ra:ma — now travels to every JET USA chapter, having begun its ya:thra right here at Sanjeevani A:sramam. Devotees offer grains of rice while chanting the divine name of Sri: Ra:ma; the offerings become prasa:dam, and the kalasam — filled with the devotion of families across the nation — will be offered by Pujya Swa:mi:ji at the grand 33rd Sahasra Kalasa:bhishe:kam at Sri: Ra:mnagar, Muchintal on November 13, 2026.
Offer rice & chant “Sri: Ra:ma” when the kalasam is at the A:sramam — every visit adds your family's devotion to the offering.
Plan Your VisitJuly 29 – November 8 · JET USA × VT Seva, across the country
In Swa:mi:ji's own words — 'Serve all beings as service to God.' To honor the A:cha:rya's legacy through compassionate action, volunteers nationwide are conducting food drives, serving at soup kitchens, and packing and distributing approximately 70,000 pounds of food and meals to those in need. VT Seva New Jersey has already packed 6,000 meals — a wonderful beginning to this historic seva movement.
Every hour you serve and every pound of food you help pack counts toward the nationwide offering.
