But in the Jan.-Febr. 2005 issue of Quest magazine one can find in the
article "The History of Adyar day" by Ananya S. Rajan the following:

"The first unofficial Adyar Day was celebrated February 17, 1923, in the
United States, with members here raising money to send overseas. That date
was chosen because it was not only the day Olcott passed away, but also the
day Giordano Bruno, a student of Pythagoras was burned at the stake and the
day Charles W. Leadbeater was born."

As Quest magazine is published by the Adyar TS in USA one can assume that
they know about they speak on "Adyar day".

Who is right: The TSA or Daniel??
