Respected Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

Here in Australia-Brisbane, Iskcon GBC Vaishnava calender shows that your vyas-pooja is on 23rd Dec.  jiva Goswami's Tirobhav mahotsav is on 24th, so your vyas-pooja should be on 25th Dec, as I remember listening from you that your divine birth day comes next day after Jiva Goswami's Tirobhav, Am I right, if yes then how to correct in GBC Calender, and if I am wrong, kindly advise me to celebrate it for Australia on 23rd, a lot of thanks in advance, HARE KRISHNA.

yours servant,

Raktak Das

HpS - ASA - Jaya! AgtSP.  Paoho.      Remember, this is our offering to Vyasa Deva.    That's how we see Hanumatpresaka Swami's VP. We then are quite greedy about doing it.

It normally is the day BEFORE Jiva-goswami's Disappearance. In Australia and other places it seems to be that way, but in Tennessee that day disappears so it is the same day, 24th. Since it is 23rd many places let's do it that day.

HpSwami will be celebrating Vyasa-puja on the 23rd of December.

He likes to offer Kitri of Split-pease, Oatmeal with little salt and ghee and celery/carrots to Lord Nrsmhadeva. Cookies etc. may be sent for offering to 2129 Stratford Road; Franklin, TN 37129; USA, but in moderate quantities.

We can be available on-line to join you. What time will you have the program in Australia? What time will that be here!
