Dear God-brothers / God-sisters,

Hare Krishna ! Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada ! All glories to Guru Maharaj and All glories to the Vaishnava Samuha !

First, let me thank all those who took time out to write their Vyasa Puja homages and especially to those who sent it in time (before 15th March 2012). This year we are publishing the homages in two different formats - a pdf version of the book that you could download and enjoy reading offline and the regular web-version.

Many of you may not be able to attend the Vyasa Puja celebration at Sridham Mayapur, India on the 3rd April 2012 and hence we will try to keep you all posted with videos / pictures and news here at victoryflag.org. You can follow the celebrations on http://www.mayapur.tv

Also, Guru Maharaja wants to see the worldwide celebrations that you are offering to Srila Vyasadeva and the Guru Parampara. So kindly send the video clips of the celebration at your yatra.

Detailed instructions on how to send your audio / video reports are given below:
