Reported by: Sri:ma:n Raghu Mudumbai, Illinois, US.

Priya Arangan Adiyars,

Pray the divine couple of Srirangam bless you & your family. The following is the report about Sampradaya Quiz held at thirumaaligai on the 27th of this month.

We conduct quiz competitions every month based on the Divyacharithrams of Azhwars and Acharyas born in that particular month. A grand quiz on Mudal azhwars, Pillailokacharyar, Erumbiappa, Manavalamamunigal, and Senaimudaliar (Sri Viswaksena) was conducted on the 27 th of this month. Children of SBK enthusiastically participated and received exciting rewards.

All our quiz contests have 5 to 7 rounds (based on questions pertaining to the syllabus of that month). During the Visual round, children identify pictures of Azhwars, Acharyas, Vidwans, Divyadesams etc. followed by Audio round, where children identify the divine voice of our great vidwans and they are also supposed to answer questions based on their Upanyasams.

Our Quiz generally ends with a Rapid fire round where each team is asked a set of questions rapidly. The time that the children take to answer each question cannot exceed 2 seconds. The team Named "Maaran" won first Prize during the quiz. Kindly view the attached photos.

We request you all to share valuable suggestions for improving our quiz.

Adiyongal,
Kainkaryasree
Srimaan Trust.
