HH Sri Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji inaugurated  the school that is constructed by JET at  Kataripalem  near Chirala ,and classes were started for the children.  In the beginning, 95 Students from the fishermen families have joined the school and classes have begun. The inauguration function was celebrated grandly by the village people.  HH Sri Swamiji addressed the Children and the parents and blessed them for good progress and prosperity.  Education is being imparted free  to the children and also additional facilities are being provided like study material, uniform etc. HH Sri Swamiji offered special Mangalasasanams to Smt. Githaji of Houston who supported the school through IDRF group.   Many philanthropists are coming forward to support this noble cause.  Chicago temple has extended its part of support for this purpose. Once the school started, it needs lot of  support to sustain its commitment to the root purpose  and  thus grow in the path of progress, for which,  JET is doing its best  with the blessings of HH Sri Swamiji.  

 

HOUSES  CONSTRUCTION PROJECT  -  :  WORK  STILL GOING  ON AS ON TODAY ---- HEADING TO COMPLETION.


JEEYAR EDUCATIONAL TRUST   along with Vikasatarangini and like minded organisations, is conducting the Tsunami Relief Activities in Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh.  HH Sri Swamiji visited the Tsunami affected places and  also distributed fishing nets, repaired their damaged boat motors  and  distributed  household utensils lost in waters.  Clothes, medicines etc., were also provided to the victim villages by our volunteers.
                                A colony of 50 houses was under construction at Poompuhar in Tamilnadu, a village that was severely damaged by Tsunami.  Due to little co-operation from Government the project has been decelerated. But, HH Sri Swamiji pursued it and later, the project was started to the extent to meet the full contributions received for the purpose. About 50 good houses are being built. In the middle, due to heavy rains, the house construction work was delayed. The work resumed again under the supervision of Sriman Madhavan Swami along with JET / VT supporters. On and off the heavy rains are causing hindrance, however our service volunteers are persevering to finish the project at the earliest in its best form to the best value of the contributions received. On field it is observed that though many promised houses etc., to the victims, not many are utilising the contributions for the promise made. Project by JET is one among very few that commenced real work !

A   MATHSYA NARAYANA TEMPLE IN FISHERMEN VILLAGE

A Matsya Narayana Temple was constructed as per the request of the  fishermen in Nellore Dist. HH Sri Swamiji initiated and inaugurated the temple amidst the wonderful  warm welcome by  those fishermen.  HH asked those people to offer Abhishekam to Lord Matsya Narayana  on fullmoon and new moon days and also whenever they wish to do. People felt happy for the great spiritual support blessed by HH Sri Swamiji.

On the shore of the sea where the tsunami was hit, HH Sri Swamiji set up a Mathsya Narayana Temple (Narayana in the form of fish). The wonderful deity
of Mathsya Narayana and Matsya Valli Thayar was installed and consecrated by HH Sri Swamiji. HH advised all the fishermen to offer oblations to the Lord and worship him for
peace and prosperity. Fishermen families were elated to do that and bowed to Swamiji for his divine grace. HH planned to construct a big Mandapam (a
hall) also in front of the temple for many of their devotional and social activities. Fishermen invited HH Sri Swamiji with a thrilling kolatam dance
around him, singing the virtues of Sri Rama and glories to this Rama.
