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 !

children. The school construction project is being supported by devotees and by
IDRF USA through Githa Devina from Houston. Smt. Githa also came to
visit the school work and take the blessings of HH Sri Swamiji. HH addressed the
children and parents of the village and said that the school
construction will be finished soon and is likely to start from the next academic
year. HH offered Mangalasasanams to all those involved in supporting the
school project.
Now the construction of the school was finished and looking forward to open the

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.
