"Prajna is the ability to translate good knowledge into action"

With the divine Mangalasasanams of H.H. Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji, the JET Pittsburgh chapter started classes in 2009. Vedic knowledge and culture so preciously preserved for millions of years is being lost in this modern era. What is the goal of the human life? What should one realize in this life? What should be

one's response in our daily chores? Due to the lack of answers to these questions there is confusion in the society, leading to unrest, lack of confidence and disrespect for the traditional way of living. In spite of our rich, valuable and true Vedic knowledge, we often tend to disown and distance from it due to ignorance and misinformation. Hence only a true A:cha:rya can dispel this darkness by lighting a lamp of right Vedic knowledge in our hearts. Sri: Swamiji has taken up this task of educating and reforming us so that we will be able to lead our lives in a fruitful way. Come, let us all join this movement. A person who gets benefited in this process, can lead others too in the proper direction thus empowering the entire society at large. Prajna is a series of classes conducted by trained teachers under the guidance of H.H. Sri Sri Sri Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji. Parents are welcome to sit in the class with their children, space permitting. Students will be learning about our ancient heritage and will thus develop to love the same. Children of age 4 years and above can participate in any of these classes. There are also numerous community functions organized to celebrate special occasions that involve all Prajna families.

TCA 50yrs Golden jubilee celebrations –Cultural competitions conducted by JET Houston Prajna*

The Competitions, held on Saturday, July 25, were a wonderful celebration of talent, culture, and our rich heritage. The event was conducted successfully from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM, with over 30 enthusiastic participants taking part in Sloka Recitation, Art, and Story Writing competitions.
The Art Competition gave children about 60 minutes to express their creativity through coloring, drawing, and artwork. It was inspiring to see young minds bring to life vibrant scenes from our culture, nature, and imagination using beautiful colors and creative ideas.
The Sloka Competition featured participants from multiple age groups, from toddlers to teenagers. One of the most heartwarming moments was watching children as young as 3 years old confidently recite simple slokas such as Hare Rama and Sukla:mbara dharam. Older students impressed everyone with their confident recitation of Haryashtakam, Krushnashtakam, Vishnu Sahasranamam, and many other devotional slokas, reflecting their dedication and practice.
The Story Writing Competition showcased the creativity and understanding of our young participants. Children beautifully narrated stories from our scriptures, including episodes from Sri Rama's life, Lakshmi Narasimha Swami, and several other divine incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Their stories reflected not only imagination and writing skills but also a deep appreciation for the values and lessons taught through our sacred traditions.
Families thoroughly enjoyed the event and shared many positive and encouraging feedback messages, appreciating the opportunity for children to learn, participate, and celebrate our heritage together.Awards will be presented during the TCA 50th Golden Jubilee Celebration on August 8 at the EPIC Center.
Our heartfelt gratitude to the Telugu Cultural Association (TCA) and its leadership for giving Prajna the opportunity to organize these competitions as part of the TCA 50th Golden Jubilee Celebrations.
Our heartfelt thanks to all our Prajna volunteers for their selfless service and teamwork: Vijay Jilledimudi ji, Latha Sangaraboina ji, Monika Chandupatla ji, Praveen Sirivolu ji, Masana Gopi ji, Sowjanya Loka ji, Bhavya Mattepally ji, Divya Vemu ji, Swetha Sirivolu ji.Special appreciation to our dedicated Youth Volunteers, Hamsavahini, Keshava, and Harsha
