The Bhajan is in essence a “definition” of “Vaishnav”.

  Vaishnav jan to tene kahiye je

   [One who is a vaishnav]
   PeeD paraayi jaaNe re
   [Knows the pain of others]
   Par-dukhkhe upkaar kare toye
   [Does good to others, esp. to those ones who       are in misery]
   Man abhimaan na aaNe re
   [Does not let pride enter his mind]
   Vaishnav…

   SakaL lok maan sahune vande

   [A Vaishnav, Tolerates and praises the entire         world]
   Nindaa na kare keni re
   [Does not say bad things about anyone]
   Vaach kaachh man nishchaL raakhe
   [Keeps his/her words, actions and thoughts           pure]
   Dhan-dhan janani teni re
   [O Vaishnav, your mother is blessed (dhanya-       dhanya)]
   Vaishnav…

   Sam-drishti ne trishna tyaagi
   [A Vaishnav sees everything equally, rejects           greed and avarice]
   Par-stree jene maat re
   [Considers someone else’s wife/daughter as         his mother]

Jivha thaki asatya na bole

[The tongue may get tired, but will never speak lies]
Par-dhan nav jhaalee haath re
[Does not even touch someone else’s property]
Vaishnav…

Moh-maaya vyaape nahi jene
[A Vaishnav does not succumb to worldly attachments]
DriDh vairaagya jena man maan re
[Who has devoted himself to staunch detachment to worldly pleasures]
Ram naam shoon taaLi laagi
[Who has been addicted to the elixir coming by the name of Ram]
SakaL tirath tena tan maan re
[For whom all the divya desams(the 108 centres of inspiration) are in the mind]
Vaishnav…

VaN-lobhi ne kapaT-rahit chhe
[Who has no greed and deceit]
Kaam-krodh nivaarya re
[Who has renounced lust of all types and anger]
BhaNe Narsaiyyo tenun darshan karta
[The poet Narsi will like to see such a person]
KuL ekoter taarya re
[By whose virtue, the entire family gets salvation]
Vaishnav…

 Ramanujacharya’s life history depicts this depth of a true Vaishnava that goes beyond what   this bhajan conveys. Every single incident in His life history is a clear mark of all such great virtues   and  more! We should be proud to have Statue of Equality being dedicated to such principled soul.   His wisdom is a gateway to liberation not from only pain of the physical body – but also from flaws in   intellect, ill health of mind, or bondage of the soul in a limited body!

 Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji’s strict adherence to all the principles of a true Vaishnava is laying out the   foundation for many generations! Every single person who comes to visit Swamiji says only one thing:   ‘Unforgettable pleasant vibrant experience!’

Out of the 106 centres of inspiration that are on this land, 11 of them have been raised above Foundation level. Chitravana, Upapeetam, Adhishtanam have beautifully shaped up mirroring the original centres!

39 of them have CRS walls being constructed. 16 of them are in the stage of excavation. 4 of them are at the Foundation level. 18 of them are in Grade slab level. 18 of them have yet to start!
