Vyasa-puja is an annual celebration by the devotees of Lord Krishna to offer homage to their guru, or spiritual master. Vyasa-puja means "worship of Vyasa," Vyasa being the compiler of the Vedic scriptures and thus the original spiritual master. The ceremony takes place on the spiritual master's appearance day (a respectful term for "birthday"). Disciples honor their guru because he authentically transmits the teachings of Vyasa.
