I was there at Sri Ananthapadmanabhaswamy Temple, Adyar, Chennai yesterday, 10th Aug'08 where there was a inter school competition for Bhajans conducted by TAMBRAS Mandavali unit for the 17th year. I was there by 4pm and listening to the children perform bhajans was indeed a great experience. Each school team was excelling the other and I am sure the judges would have had a difficult time in arriving at the top 10 rankings from among 25 or more school teams which participated. Sri Sankara School, Adyar was the winner.
Chennai residents were lucky with lots of musical activity around for the past one week, thanks to 100 hour non-stop Marathon concerts, Svanubhava and then this bhajan competition. We look forward to many such happenings.
To top it all Today Abinav Bindra with his GOLD medal in Olympics has proved that any thing can be achieved by working hard with devotion, dedication and determination. Three cheers to him on behalf of all our members in this esteemed forum!
