Dear Bhaagavatas

 

Sri Vedanta Desikar Devasthanam, Mylapore needs no introduction to most of our members.

For others who are not fully conversant, I wish to bring to notice the unique and unprecedented nature of the activities of the Devasthanam in spreading Sri Vaishnavam in general and Desika Sampradayam in particular. The activities are designed to create an orientation to the uninitiated while kindling interest in research for the scholar for a better understanding of the nuances pertaining to the glory of our Satsampradayam   Articles bearing on these authored by erudite scholars are also featured for information and these are sure to provide a veritable smorgasbord for the education and edification of the readers.

 

Two online quiz programs are being featured every month in their official website – namely, www.svdd.com. The seniors' quiz entitled 'Trail Our Glorious Sampradaya', is in its 23rd episode, and is open to all. A children's quiz by the same name followed by 'Junior' has been started a few months ago in order to inculcate the great values of our tradition in the inquisitive minds of children and the adolescents (7 to 17 years of age). 

 
Though the organizers claim that these are only their humble efforts in sustaining the awareness and interest levels in the legacies of our Glorious Sampradayam, people who have actually participated can and do vouch how their efforts are far reaching in their effects. Indeed the venture makes more and more people think about and learn our tradition while providing an opportunity to express what one already knows or has learned.

Every month, there are three prizes (chosen amongst the top performers) for the seniors quiz as a token of appreciation and encouragement, in addition to publishing the list of top performers in the site.

 

The enthusiasm of the participants is spontaneous and mind boggling and speaks volumes of the popularity and usefulness of the programs as a learning experience at once for the novice as for the learned

 

We strongly recommend that members of all Srivaishnava groups must join in the Quiz and other programs in their own enlightened self-interest in enriching their knowledge about the glory of our Siddhaanta (philosophy) and Anushtaana (practices) as revealed by our Azhvars and Acharyas. We would appreciate if you could spread the word to all your contacts.

Dasoham
