Celebrations for Srila Guru Maharaj’s 64th Vyasa Puja was held at various places around the globe. One such place where many disciples of Srila Gurudev hosted the event was Fiji Islands. Fiji is the same country where Srila Prabhupada personally visited to lay down ISKCON’s first ever temple “to- be built” foundation. Most temples and centres at that time were either rented out or bought and later convereted to temples . On 13th of August, principally the date of Gurudevs Vyasa Puja tithi at 7pm some 200 devotess and well wishers of Gurudev gathered at Sri Radhagolokbihari temple which boasts to be one of the biggest temples outside India. Sri Sri Radhagolokbihari temple houses Gaura Nitai and Sri Sita Rama Laxmana and Hanumanji deities besides its presiding deities Sri Sri Radhgolokbihariji was full of hype and festivity since morning. Disciples of Srila Vedavyaspriya Swami Maharaj living in Suva and nearby areas decided to host this big festivity and celebrate the most blessed event amongst other vaishnavas at the temple. In fact Maharaj has been regularly visiting Fiji every year and thus has kept close knit amongst all devotees in Fiji.
The program saw number of disciples making oppulent preparations for offering, singing glorifications,bhajans and kirtans, glorification of Guru Maharaj by many speakers ( both direct disciples and well wishers) , Guru Puja and Puspanjali. At the end of the program there was sumputous feast for all attendees sponsored by disciples.The Guest speakers included : HG Bhagawati Mataji ( Godsister of Gurudev), HG Bhaja Govinda Prabhu ( TKG disciple , Australia) and HG Parsuram Prabhu ( Chairman ISKCON Fiji) and many other temple management senior leaders and many senior Vaishnavas from ISKCON Suva.
