Our Guru & Inspiration
Pujya Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji
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, Vedic education, and service, open to all.

What Families Say
“
We moved to New Jersey and felt completely lost. The first Sunday we walked into Sanjeevani for Bhog, it felt like we were back home. The kids now refuse to miss Prajna class.

“
I grew up going to temples that felt formal and distant. Here, Pavan Swami knows every family by name. My daughter learned more Sanskrit in three months of Prajna than I learned in years.

“
The Bhog alone is worth the drive from Edison. But what keeps us coming back is the community — Diwali here feels like Diwali in India. Our kids finally understand why these festivals matter.
