Theme: Five Virodhabasas or Contradictions associated with Lord Shiva
  1. If Shiva's neck has visha or poison, there's something over him that represents Amrita or immortal nectar. What's it?  #DharmaQuiz 1371. Ans: Moon or Soma, symbolic of Amrita. Yes, Ganga can also be life giving, but immortality was the key point here.

  3. Shiva is feared as the Lord of destruction. But also praised as Lord helping to win over death. What's that Sanskrit term?  #DharmaQuiz 1373. Ans: Mrityunjaya or Amarnath.
  4. Something that Shiva keeps with him, can't live with what his wife Durga keeps with her, on our earth. What's that? #DharmaQuiz 1374. Ans: His vehicle Nandi or the Bull.
  5. {Final, Open till 10 PM} What's on Shiva's upper body, that in real world, can't live with something you see with Ganesha.  #DharmaQuiz 1375. Ans: Snake (Ganesh's vehicle is Mouse)

  1. Hi Kiran,

    This is @ksmsundaram1975

    What about having a Dharma Quiz on Modern Scientific, Technological n Medical techniques which were prevalent in Ancient Bharat itself - e.g.
    1. Test tube babies - Kauravas,
    2. Aeroplanes - pushpaka vimana,
    3. Surrogate fathers - the five devatas who fathered the Pandavas,
    4. Plastic surgery - sushruta / charaka,
    5. Displacement of local popln for infrastructural projects - Displacement of the Nagas from Khandavaprastha Vana by Sri Krishna n Arjuna for building Indraprastha,
    6. Satellite Cities / Space Stations - the 3 cities of Tripura built by Maya Danava.
