Forwarded From: vijirajans@xxxxxxxxxxx To: Ramanbil@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [SriRangaSri] About SVDD Activities Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2009 03:24:41 -0800 Respected swamin,Adiyen came to know about SVDD and its monthly quiz through Sri RangaSri. What started as a casual browsing has become an obsession now. It so happened that by Swami Desika's grace adiyen got selected for a prize in Sept 2007 in a quiz pertaining to Swami Desikan. The quiz master called me up in Delhi and asked several questions regarding the quiz and other related ones. Adiyen has learnt a lot thru SriRangaSri through Sadagopan mama's e-books and SriHari swami's monthly quiz.Though adiyen could not go personally to collect the prized treasures my husband and me met Sri Hari swami .He first showed us around the beautiful temple and it was great to see the veneration and devotion with which different temple activities are carried out. Swami Desikan's genius and greatness can never be celebrated enough by us ialways felt but SVDD has proved me wrong. Swami then took us to his tirumaligai and we met his parents and wife.Children were at school so missed seeing them. Totally traditional cooking is still done on coal stoves and in well-water. No coffee or tea in their house. We had butter milk in silver tumblers and had a look at their house. We had a look at thequestion bank on his computer from where he selects a good blend of simple, difficult and teasing ones. It felt good to meet someone who is such a good mixture of tradition, modernity capped by the greatest humility and acharyan bhakthi. Adiyen is grateful to Rangasri for providing this link. Adiyen Vyjayanthi Sundararajan-SriRangam
