Welcome to Jeeyar Educational Trust, Seattle Chapter site. 

Jai Srimannarayana! His Holiness Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji envisioned the Statue of Union - 90ft. Abhaya Hanuman will arrive in Houston, Sri Ashtalakshmi temple, in 2024. This will be the tallest panchaloha statue based on Vedic culture and 4th tallest statue in the USA. 

To raise funds for this project,  the Seattle team offers the following three opportunities to host pa:ra:yanams in devotees' residences.
