His Holiness (HH) Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Chinna Srimannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamiji belongs to a highly esteemed lineage of acharyas (preceptors) starting from Bhagavad Ramanujacharya.
Swamiji was born on Deepavali (festival of lights), on swati nakshatra in the month of thula (3rd November 1956). HH was born in Arthamuru Village, in the East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh, Bharatham (India).
Having trained in Vedas and other Shastras at Srirangam, HH took the oath of a sanyasa (ascetic) at the age of 23. Swamiji set out to continue the work of HH Sri Pedda Jeeyar Swamiji from Ubaya Vedanta Pitam, spreading spirituality and improving the life of the impoverished.
HH founded JET World in 1992, an organisation that inspires millions of people into the art of service. The organisation is founded on the principles of unconditional devotion to Srimannarayana and service to humanity, irrespective of creed.
In addition to leading an ascetic life, HH devotes his time towards providing free education, healthcare, food security, disaster relief, animal welfare and environmental protection. This includes awareness campaigns on organ donation, women’s health, cultural heritage, green initiatives, among other domains. JET World is currently active in India, Australia, Canada, Germany, Nepal, UK, USA and other countries.
In addition to the above, HH advocates for the preservation of sanathana dharma and the propagation of dharmic culture to the younger generation through Prajna. HH has also been invited to address the United Nations on sustainable development goals.
Early this year, Swamiji commemorated the life and teachings of Bhagavad Ramanujacharya in the form of the Statue of Equality in Hyderabad, India.
