What's right

Jonas Masetti was a mechanical engineer by education and has been described as a former army officer [6].
He worked in the stock market and ran a consultancy firm [2][3][4].
He felt unhappy and unfulfilled despite having material success [2][3].
He went to India in search of meaning and studied Vedanta, Sanskrit, and Bhagavad Gita [2][3].
He studied at Swami Dayananda Saraswati's Arsha Vidya Gurukulam in Coimbatore for 4.5 years [2].
He received the title of Acharya and the name Vishvanatha [2][3][5].
He returned to Brazil and opened an institute called Vishva Vidya in the hills near Rio de Janeiro [2][3].
The institute aims to impart spiritual teachings [1].

What's wrong

The claim states Jonas Masetti studied for 3.5 years, but one source indicates he stayed for 4.5 years [2].

What's debatable

The claim states that over 1.5 lakh students have been taught Vedanta and Bhagavad Gita at Vishva Vidya.
While the institute offers courses and has a social project for children, the exact number of students taught Vedanta and Bhagavad Gita is not explicitly confirmed by the provided sources, though one source mentions over 1.5 lakh students were taught [Video Extraction].

Breakdown

The provided sources largely corroborate the primary claim about Jonas Masetti's life and work. Background and Quest for Meaning: Multiple sources confirm that Jonas Masetti was an engineer, worked in the stock market, and felt unhappy despite his success, which led him to seek meaning in India [2][3][4][6].

He is described as a mechanical engineer and a former army officer [6]. Studies in India: Sources confirm his studies in Vedanta, Sanskrit, and Bhagavad Gita in India, specifically at Swami Dayananda Saraswati's ashram in Coimbatore [2][3].
