Dear Frank and Gregory
Ananya Rajan is the niece of Rhada Burnier, and is working as an assistant
editor of The Quest Magazine in Wheaton, Illinois.
Your query should be sent to her, and you would most likely get your answer.
At least I think so. I am unsure of the e-mail address though, perhaps Bart
knows more.

"Daniel writes: (2) Leadbeater's own birth record indicates that he was born
on February 16, 1854. 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"."
Let me put this challenge to the TS in the USA: I will donate $500US to the
TS
in the USA if they can provide documentary evidence that Leadbeater was born
on February 16, 1854 (other than his own assertion of the fact or statements
by others depending on his assertions).
Either the TS in the USA is prepared to publish a lie, or they can provide
the
evidence.
I'm waiting..... Should seven (7) days be sufficient?
