— Our Story
Founded in 1994.
Anchored in eternity.
Jeeyar Educational Trust USA (JET USA), Inc. was incorporated in 1994 in the State of Illinois as a non-profit organization, organized and operated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Our mission is to foster learning in the ancient Vedic Scriptures, the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Sanathana Dharma, under the guidance of our founder and acharya, His Holiness Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Chinna Srimannarayana Ramanuja Jeeyar Swamiji.
Our parent organization, Jeeyar Educational Trust (JET), was founded by HH Swamiji and registered in 1983 in Sitanagaram, India. JET is a global non-profit committed to improving human lives through education, service, and ancient wisdom, now active in seven countries.
This mission carries forward 1,000 years of Sri Vaishnava tradition, from Sri Ramanujacharya's revolutionary declaration of human equality in 1017 CE, through HH Swamiji's lifetime of selfless service, recognized by the Government of India with the Padma Bhushan in 2024.
