Chinna Jeeyar (born 3 November 1956) is an Indian Scholar known for his spiritual discourses on Sri Vaishnavism. He subscribes to Thenkalai tradition of Sri Vaishanvism. A biographical profile in India Today magazine described Chinna Jeeyar as a former atheist who was influenced by Marxist ideas, and it gave details of his personal characteristics and business and political connections. According to the article, Jeeyar operates science and technology colleges, and has several centers in the US. The article quotes Jeeyar as saying:
Earthquakes and tsunamis are symptomatic of the pain that we are causing to the Mother Earth
Jeeyar was trained in the Vaishnava Tradition. At the age of 23 he took the oath to become an ascetic. He has been visiting the United States since 1994, where he taught a large amount of people. He has also visited London, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Canada, where he performed Yagnas for the benefit of the people.
In December 2013, Jeeyar endorsed the Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) student organisation for instilling patriotism in students and encouraging them to learn about Indian culture. He claimed Indian culture would remain unchanged if students are acquainted with a comprehensive understanding of the country's history.
