Jai Srimannarayana!
Om Asmad Gurubhyo: Namaha!
Srimathe: Ra:ma:nuja:ya Namaha!

Humble salutations to the lotus feet of Pujya Sri Swamiji!

Dear All,

With the Mangalasasanams of His Holiness Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji’s and JET USA Inc.’s invitation, His Holiness Sri Ahobila Jeeyar Swamiji visited 20 cities across the USA for three and a half months and graced thousands of devotees. 

Sri Ahobila Jeeyar Swamiji was initiated and given Sanyasa Deeksha by His Holiness Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji in the year 2005. From that moment onwards, Sri Ahobila Jeeyar Swamiji has been marching on the path laid by His Holiness Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji.  Sri Ahobila Jeeyar Swamiji has dedicated himself for the upliftment of the community by revealing the secrets of leading a blissful life by understanding and practicing the values as conveyed by our sastras.
 
This year (Vilambi) is very significant to all of us because it was the same year Sri Rama was born in Thretha yuga and Sri Venkateswara wed Padmavati in Kali yuga.  Because of this significance and for the welfare of the community Sri Ahobila Jeeyar Swamiji performed Sundara Kanda Parayanam in various cities and performed Kalasabhishekam and Kalayanam to Sri Venkateswara and His consorts Sridevi and Bhudevi. Devotees across the length and breadth of the USA were spellbound to witness these unique events.

Sri Ahobila Jeeyar Swamiji’s devotion towards our Priya Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji is just like Hanuman’s devotion to Sri Rama.   Sri Ahobila Jeeyar Swamiji and the parivaram (Chinna Swami, Ramu Swami, and Srikanth Swami) witnessed harsh winter weather while touring the Midwest region.   The bitter cold was not at all a hurdle because of His Holiness Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji’s warm blessings.  Sri Ahobila Jeeyar Swamiji and the parivaram drove through the bitter wintry weather and inspite of the flu, continued to shower compassion on the devotees. His Holiness Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji performed Sahasra Kalasabhishekam to Jagadacharya - Sri Ramanujacharya in Cary, North Carolina on July 7, 2018. Sri Ahobila Swamiji offered Kalasabhishekam to Perumal - Sri Venkateswara Swami on March 2, 2019 in Dallas, Texas.
Sri Ahobila Jeeyar Swamiji left for Bharath on March 6, 2019 to start Sri Rama Krathuvu upon taking blessings and guidance from Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji.  Vijaya Kiladri, Badrachalam, and Nadigeddapalam are the three places that have been chosen to perform Sri Rama Krathuvu.  Sri Ahobila Jeeyar Swamiji has given a clarion call to all the devotees across the world to come together and participate in this auspicious Sri Rama Krathuvu.  In the 35th Sarga of Sundara Kaanda in Sri Valimiki Ramayana, Hanuman describes the beauty and characteristics of Sri Rama upon Sitha’s request.  The noble intent of performing Sri Rama Krathuvu is to learn and transform each one of us into a great personality like Sri Rama.  In turn “Serve All Beings As Service to God” and make the world a beautiful place to live in by spreading love and equality.  For more information on Sri Rama Krathuvu, please visit https://www.jetusa.org/events/SriRamaKrathuvu.

Jai Srimannarayana!

Forever in Acharya Seva
