We say ‘Thanks’ to someone who has given us a glass of water when we are thirsty. We say, ‘May everything you wish for come true”; ‘thank you’ to someone who has offered you delicious food when you are super hungry. We hug a friend and express gratitude for being with us in hard times. We say thanks to the trees by doing our bit in protecting the environment. We say thanks to the Sun by offering a prayer every morning. We are thankful to everyone and everything around us for keeping us the way we are now.

How about being thankful to Acharya who shared with us the ultimate knowledge of eternal truths? To that Acharya who gave us the knowledge which supports us in leading a happier life here while paving the path to the ultimate goal of the soul?

Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamijji’s dream is to express our gratitude to Bhagavad Ramanujacharya through this wonderful ‘Statue of Equality’ project that spread the message of Ramanujacharya to the entire world for many generations. Lakhs of people who are benefited by the knowledge of Ramanujacharya are participating in the making of this great structure.

Today, as Swami reached the site and looked at the progress of work – His eyes were filled with joy. While HH was mesmerised looking at the Acharyas 216 foot statue, everyone around there got lost into Swamiji’s eyes that were filled with loads of happiness, gratitude and a sense of fullness.

Latest on Swarna Murthi, Bhadravedi, Dynamic Fountain and more..!

  • Tridandam(the flag pole) and Thirumukham(the face) polishing is complete
  • Dynamic Fountain erection process has begun
  • Bhadravedi (the stage on which 216 feet Ramanuja is seated in honour)
  • 192 people are on the job
  • You can choose to donate for the steps that take you to Bhadravedi, or any other work that is in progress.
  • Swarna Murthi, 120 Kg Gold Deity of Ramanuja – While the 216 feet high Ramanuja statue is set to invite the entire world to explore eternal truths, the 120 Kg Gold Deity will instil a deep sense of conscious connection with the Supreme power. The Gold Deity is being placed for letting us offer daily worship to thank HIM for elaborating on eternal truths in clarity!

The order for the Murthi needs to be placed in the next couple of weeks. If you would like your gold to the murthi, please donate now. Take pride for contributing to a cause that marks true knowledge on eternal truths!

Dignitaries Kathy Sheehan Hon Mayor of Albany City, Jeff Quain, Capital Region Representative and Phil Barrett, Town Supervisor- Albany and other community leaders not only embraced Swamiji’s message of equality, but also encouraged the society at large to take part in the same. Many children and youth were inspired by the greatness of Ramanuja, and went out of their way to donate for equality!

Guru asked Yudhishtar to go around the kingdom and get the list of bad people. Guru asked Dhuryodhan also to go around the kingdom and get the list of good people.

Guess what? Both returned with empty lists. Neither Yudhishtar found a single bad person nor Dhuryodhan found a single good person in the same kingdom.

It is the eye with which you see a fellow being that makes you identify him as good and bad.

A good heart increases your ability to see the pains and agonies in the people around you. Bhagavad Ramanujacharya was blessed with such a good heart that he could not take the pain of anyone around him. He understood the feelings of a person without having to be explicitly stated. He gave away the greatest secrets and the best of the knowledge as soon as he discovered that it will help people alleviate from miseries. He came forward to help everyone’s socio-economic status by enriching their knowledge levels and worked towards giving opportunities to grow.

Several leaders such as Martin Luther King, Nelson Madela, Abhrahim Lincoln had good hearts that enabled them to see pains of their communities and lifted them up.

Bhagavad Ramanujacharya looked upon everyone as equal in the Eyes of Lord and therefore everyone deserved the best.

Gurus such as Ramanujacharya maintain their purity while still living in this egotistic world. They bless us with good virtues and uplift us to greater extents. They act as magnets. If an iron piece is connected to the magnet, it will begin to possess the abilities of the magnet. Similarly as long we are connected to such Gurus, our abilities to do good work, to serve the world will increase.

Let us rise to the occasion of remembering such an inspiring Guru and take part in completing our project, Statue of Equality as a token of gratitude for HIS benevolence!

– From the discourse of Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami in Houston, USA on 26th Nov’2018

HH Swamiji is travelling over many places in the USA such as New Jersey, Florida, South Carolina, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas and many others to spread the wisdom as given by the greatest spiritual leader and social reformer – Bhagavad Ramanujacharya!

Polishing of the Statue underway and Dynamic Fountain work picks up pace!

Highlights of the recent work at the SRS (Sri Ramanujaj Sahasrabdi) site:

  • Installation of copper plates for the Tridandam is complete
  • Polishing of the Tridandam is in progress
  • The secondary polish of the 10th to 12th level of the body, thirumeni is complete
  • Additional workforce reaching the site to pick up on Dynamic Fountain job
  • Provider gave 8 options with pros and cons for the Dynamic Mountain
  • More than 7,500 sq. metres of construction complete for Bhadravedi Complex, area under the Statue
  • 108 Divya Desams – Few aspirants have come forward to take up 4 Divya Desams construction
  • Lighting in Bhadravedi – Electrical work is in progress; about 65% complete

This extremely humongous effort initiated by Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami is unimaginable for many saints, scholars, leaders, and professionals in all areas. Many of them say, ‘It is becoming a reality because of the pure intent of Sri Swamiji and the resulting selfless benefits of the endeavour.’ However, Swamiji always says, ‘The project belongs to everyone and it is a result of the contribution of everyone.’

For a non-profit organisation which runs from the funds of donors, it is quite a challenging task to even dream about such an amazing project. But, for Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami – the goal is clear and uncompromising primarily because He understands the immeasurable value of wisdom and the path laid out by Bhagavad Ramanujacharya. His Holiness aims to pass on the same wisdom to future generations and thereby preserving our true identity and the vision of Vedam. This project will stand unique and become an icon of Pride to the nation, mankind and to the entire existence.

Don’t you agree that it is our duty to take part in this effort as we all are reaping the benefits of the great wisdom shared by Bhagavad Ramanujacharya?

We thank all the existing donors and would like them all to share this opportunity with friends and family. Let’s not wait and continue to contribute more!

‘ధనం ఉన్న వారు కాదు పెద్ద మనుషులు, పెద్ద మనసు ఉన్న వారు నిజమయిన పెద్ద మనుషులు’, said Sri Ahobila Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami.

On a mission to invite everyone and spread the word of Ramanujacharya, Sri Ahobila Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami went to Pedha Shahpur thanda near by the JIVA campus in Sri Ram Nagar. They heard from Swami about the 1048 Kunda Yagna as part of Ramanuja Sahasrabdi celebrations in the months of March and April 2018. This Yagna requires 1,60,000 Kgs of pure ghee. They announced their contribution of 30,000 rupees worth of pure ghee to be used in the Yagna. More than 100 youngsters happily and willingly registered to volunteer during those days in the asram for any kind of service. These people are all lambadis and primarily low income families. But, They are the ones with ‘Rich hearts’! Don’t you think so?

It is believed that a squirrel began to do its part in order to quickly build the bridge so that Sri Rama and Sitha Devi are back together. It was the love-filled thought behind the act which made the squirrel an inspiration for anyone who can do at least a small bit for a huge great endeavour such as this! An endeavour that is selfless and is aimed at enriching lives of everyone who wants to achieve the prime purpose of life through Ramanujacharya’s teachings.

According to sastras, it is through Agni that we offer our thankfulness to Lord for giving us every opportunity to live well, serve well and be the right instruments in the hands of Lord. And thus, such Yagna will convey millions of people’s gratitude for giving us the Acharya, Ramanuja who has taught us the way to lead the current life while uncompromising on the essence of Vedic truths.

On the 24th of November, first steps were taken in planning and marking a ride in Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi site at JIVA campus, Sri Ram Nagar. This ride is being designed to take the visitors into the key incidents in Ramanuja’s life making them feel like they are part of those times!

There are several events in the life journey of Ramanuja which reveal his intense understanding of the entire existence and deep concern for everyone. The events are a ‘must to watch’ for anyone in question about the ‘purpose of life’ or ‘what next in life’ or ‘what is right and what is wrong’ or ‘why should I do this and not that’ and such conflicts in mind.

Sriman Sanjay ji, Sriman Rajeev ji, Sriman Ramesh Mantha, Sriman Prasad and few other key people discussed the first drawings on an exhibition or a ride that will walk the people through the life history of Ramanujacharya. Entry and Exit areas, Key show areas, and pathways were all talked through keeping in mind the objective of giving an experience of taking part in the actual event from the history! What an amazing opportunity for everyone to not only learn from but actually live in the event!

A short description of one such incident that you see in the image is:

Vittadeva of the Hoysala dynasty, was the King, with Thondanur Nambi as one of the prime ministers. Vittadeva’s daughter was suffering from a serious ailment. The king approached many of Jain monks but their efforts could not help the daughter. Thondanur Nambi proposed to the King that they meet Ramanujacharya who had recently come to towards the area. King agreed.

In the meantime, Thondanur Nambi met Ramanuja and told him about:

  • severe droughts in the area
  • the Princess being ill
  • recently discovered deity of Narayana

Ramanujacharya agreed to see the King’s daughter. The daughter spoke out saying that the ‘theertham’ obtained from washing Ramanujacharya’s feet, and the touch of his feet on her head will heal her. King asked her how he would know if the ailment is completely gone. She responded saying that a tree’s branch seen from her window will fall down as soon as the sickness is gone. Everything happened according to what was planned and the daughter recovered from the illness. King was extremely happy and was began to be devoted to Ramanujacharya. That caused anger in the Jain monks and they challenged  with Ramanujacharya for a debate. Whoever loses the challenge will follow the winner’s school of thought.

Ramanujacharya suggested that a cloth be tied as a separator between the Jain monks and himself. About 10,000 monks gathered and questioned Ramanujacharya. His answers suited all of them even though all their questions were different. It was an amazing incident and people were thrilled to watch the debate on philosophy and eternal truths. Ramanujacharya won the challenge and several Jain monks became his disciples.

This is what you see in the picture/image. This will be an incident that we can observe and be part of in the Statue of Equality project!

After winning the challenge, Ramanujacharya went through the kingdom and observed the reasons for the severe drought condition. He suggested the King to build a bridge and advised technical ways to improve the condition of farmers. The King was surprised to see Ramanujacharya’s knowledge on aspects that relate to social development. His keen eye into details and technical aspects of implementing a solution for the problem were both very inspiring to the King. The King also named the bridge and the water reservoir as ‘Thirumalaraya Sagaram’ as per the recommendation of Ramanujacharya.

Later, Ramanujacharya suggested that the king can also now build a temple for the recently discovered deity of Narayana to help people satisfy their thirst for the journey of soul towards eternal bliss.

Thus, Ramanujacharya’s extreme wisdom in all aspects tells us how it is possible to attain spiritual enlightenment while paying great attention to all social causes. Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji is no less in this endeavour. As Swamiji always says, a True Vaishnava is one whose heart bleeds and his acts to relieve another soul from suffering!

How great it is that we all have an opportunity to live through these wonderful incidents of Ramanujacharya under the aegis of Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami. Come, PARTICIPATE in the making of Statue of Equality!

*Hundreds of aspirants and devotees poured in to receive Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji with so much admiration in New Jersey, USA. The pilot being inspired by a simple conversation he had in the flight continued along with Swamiji to stay in the asram at New Jersey!

Swamiji talked about ‘Statue of Equality’ and awed the audience with the power of Ramanujacharya’s message. HH explained how Bhagavad Ramanujacharya unveiled the unseen relationship between us and the God. Vedic lore, be it Upanishads, Smrithis, Ithihasa, Agama have all established the relationship between the Soul and the Supreme to be eternal. This relationship bonds us all together beautifully. It says that we are all equal in the eyes of that one Supreme!

In remembering this great personality throughout His Millennium birth year, Swamiji has been spreading the message throughout the world. HH talked about Statue of Equality project and announced a few details on the upcoming inauguration in April’2018.

HH invited everyone to volunteer, sponsor, and participate actively as it is a great opportunity to be involved in this magnificent project that will serve as a centre of educating values of life on the basis of Vedas, the source of all knowledge!

  120 KG Gold Deity for daily worship begins on April 1stContribute in the making of the Murthi!
  Lakshmi Narayana Havan with 1000 Kundas from the April 2nd to April 14th with about 5000 priests – Sponsor for a Kundam!
  Vadyanjali, Raganjali, Nrityanjali, and more with 1000s of participants
  About 250 Crore spent on the project, 150 Crore required to complete Phase 1 (by March’2018)

It may be a question to everyone, does Ramanujacharya expect a gold deity or a project costing crores? Swamiji said, ‘This is a project that will support and inspire the current generation with his valuable teachings. It is for the benefit of future generations who will need a direction as set by Vedic principles for a chaos-free mind, balanced life style, a clear path to bliss, an experience of a beautiful bond with Acharya, living in harmony and more’.

Trina loshta asma kanchana ha – For Bhagavad Ramanucharya, gold or grass value the same! But for all of us, we see the difference between the two. And hence, we choose what we feel is the most valuable to offer as a mark of reverence. It is the least that we can do to offer gratitude for Bhagavad Ramanujacharya whose teachings are so critical for our enrichment!

Today at 11:15am, ‘Jala Pavitram’ was raised high at the top edge of the ‘Tridandam’ signifying the purity of each act done through the hands of a Yathi / Sannyasi. ‘Jala Pavitram’ is a square shaped white coloured cloth. The ‘Statue of Equality’, Bhagavad Ramanujacharya – holds a Tridandam of weight 56 tonnes and a Jala Pavitram of weight 6 tonnes!

A few references of ‘Jala Pavitram’ from Vedic scriptures exclusively for our readers. Please note that the English text is not the meaning of the sloka entirely, but they are only stating facts of the Jala Pavitram.

మానసం వాచికం వాపి కాయికం చ విచక్షణః అగ్నిర్దేవతా గాయత్రీఛందః
ఇతి మంత్రేణాలాబు (దారు) పాత్రం గ్నహ్ణీయాత్ ఖిక్షుకోత్తమః జల పవిత్రం గ్నహ్ణీయాత్ !!

Jala Pavitram is one of the three key essentials for a sannyasi (sath + nyasamu = one who has given up everything at the feet of Supreme). The remaining two essentials are Tridandamu (a flag pole representing the essence of Vedic wisdom) and Kasayamu (a saffron coloured cotton cloth to wear representing selfless and sacrificial attitude)

మంత్రేచమనాది సంధ్యోపాసనం పూర్వవత్!
ఆచమనాదిషు పంచసు జలపవిత్రస్య సంబంధః!

During every prayer to the source of the power to Sun, (Sandhya vandanam) – ‘Jala Pavitram’ will be used to perform the offering of water as a token of gratitude. It is to be used during ‘Pranayama’ after bath.

స తేన ఆచమనం కుర్యాత్ మార్జనం తర్పణం తథా!
ఉపస్థానం సహస్రాంశోః కుండికాయాశ్శపూరణమ్!!

The top thread of the Jala Pavitram is to be hooked to the edge of the Tridandam while chanting Pranavam (the O:M)

సదా జలపవిత్రేణ మార్జనా చామ తర్పణమ్!
ఉపస్తానం రవేశ్చాపి యో యతిః కురుతే న చ!!

The bottom thread of Jala Pavitram is to be tied to the edge of the Tridandam while meditating upon the meaning of the Pranavam.

On the 23rd of October, Bhagavad Ramanujacharya statue appeared in full, as the final part was aligned and fixed. It was a proud moment for millions of people across the world who are enjoying the gift of an extremely rich knowledge and matchless compassion through the teachings of the great practitioner of Vedic science.

As we all know, Sri Ramanujacharya not only revealed the right essence of Vedic science as theory but also spread, practiced and applied all the learnt knowledge in uplifting social stature of many downtrodden and under-privileged sects of people.

The 162 Feet Tridandam Erection Process Begins –An Event of Great Significance!

Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami visited the site of Sri Ramanuja Sahasrabdi today to pay his respects to the ‘Tridandam’ that is ready to be erected. Sri Ahobila Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami, Sri Devanatha Ramanuja Jeeyar Swami, esteemed scholar Sri Krishnamacharya Swami, the Chief Architect Sriman Prasad Garu, Engineers from My Home Group and AEROSUN, many other dignitaries, craftsmen and construction workers were all present to grace this occasion.

Key elements of the ‘Tridandam’ include:

  • The ‘Tridandam’ is constructed in 8 parts, each weighing about 7 tonnes
  • The length of the ‘Tridandam’ is 162 feet
  • It will be positioned from the feet of the statue hanging onto the shoulder and raising above the head by 27 feet
  • The ‘jalapavithram’ will be installed on the top edge of the ‘Tridandam’ and weighs around 6 tonnes

This great event – ‘Erecting the Tridandam’ is aimed to be complete by the first week of Nov’2017.

After offering a prayer before beginning the erection process, yummy sweets (Laddu) were distributed as a mark of happiness in getting this dream come true for lakhs of promoters of Equality, for millions of followers of Ramanuja Acharya!

What does it signify?

From the discourses of Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami, the Tridandam shows what its owner understands and practices as the essence of Vedic scriptures. The ‘Tridandam’ carried by Ramanuja Acharya indicates that there are ‘Three’ entities named ‘Supreme Power(God)’, ‘The Souls(we)’ and ‘The Nature(prakruthi)’. The power of the Supreme entity exists within the souls and nature. It governs and binds the existence. This Supreme Power is the one that is common to all that exists. And hence,Ramanuja Acharya saw everyone as ‘Equals’.

Thus, the Statue of Equality site at Sri Ram Nagar is being shaped up to guide everyone to be treated with respect, equal and with a connection of the strong binding force – the Supreme Power.

We welcome everyone to visit our site, take part and make your contribution to this iconic structure spreading great philosophical value.
