Hi Can somebody please tell me where the “sugar mixes in milk” story has come from? It is attributed to Kisse Sanjan but I have not found it there. There is also another story of ‘mixing like gold ring in milk’., but again I have not found its origin. Thanks and God bless you.
9 April, 2008 at 2:15 pm
hi,zarin sethna,would you please explain the logic behind your questions are they related to psycology iam afraid not?dellttaa.seeveen@gmail.com
9 April, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Hi Amin.The questions I am refering to are actually about the famous migration story of the Parsees from Iran to India. Every Parsee child grows up hearing them. I am searching for the origin of these. Glad to know of your interest in Zoroastrianism .
9 April, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Hi Percy Jamshedwala. I think ‘Percy’ is short for Persepollis, our famous ancient and holy capital ccity in Iran. I may be wrong but it seems most likely. Parsees have been adopting the names of Iranian cities like ‘Shiraz’, ‘Yazd’, etc. Maybe to keep the connection alive. ‘Persis’ which is a girl’s name means ‘ a lady from Persia’.Hope I have been of some help.Bye and God bless you.
9 April, 2008 at 9:22 pm
respected zarin sethna,thanks for answering me,history and psychology are my subjects i have a small library of mine at home.it may sound strange to you iam by nature attached to history from my boyhood,once traveling on balochistan coast in 1983 my sixth sense told me that alexander the great may had passed from this route,when i asked my father he said yes alexander did passed this route returning from india.
10 April, 2008 at 12:08 am
In zartusht calender name of a day called[GOVAD]meaning wind.in balochi language wind is called [GOVAT] what i mean to say that acient pahlavi language and present balochi languages are sister languages like german and english.Balochs were driven out of kerman first by iranian king nausherwan and then by the invading seljuk turks.

Hi Kamal, Regards the meaning of the word ‘Zaraius’. The term ‘Zar’ definately means gold in Persian and also in Sanskrit. ‘Zarin’ means made of gold and ‘ Zari work’ is the embroidary with golden thread.Hence the Zar part of the name signifies something to do with gold. The suffix ‘ius’ is similar to Daraaius or Porous , If you could contact some Persain scholar, you can combine the two and get the meaning. Bye for now and God bless you.

hi,zarin sethna i will try to answer your question the origin of[where the sugar mixes with milk?]the tragedy with the history is that emotionalism attached with an historical event changes the reality of the event to legend,when the imegrants from persia or pars actually [fars]as the language is called farsi became to known as parsies believers of zartushtra[the prophet]came to india by sea by land it was not possible,landed on the shore of gujrat first they were not wellcomed by the gujrati raja he sent a bowl full of milk to the parsies indicating that they have no place for them in return the parsies put sugar in milk indicating friendship as it is friendship is the sweetist part of human nature,here we cant ignore the historical fact that persians were equally civilized to the romans,today everyone else knows the parsies had given more to india than they have taken,the other part of your question[every parsi child grows up asking about the famous migration]its an psychological reaction of their up bringing because parsies have the will and love for their blief thats why up to today they have saved their identy now parsies are a beautifull part of india.hope for your reply.thanks
14 April, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Hi Amin. Thanx so much for your help. Actually, the story you have given me has traditionally been attributed to a book - ‘Kisseh Sanjan’- written by Boman Kekobad in 16th century which describes the story of the migration to India. However, as part of my research , when I looked up the book, I could not find the reference there nor in any of the versions or translations. In fact another story says that it was a gold ring that was dipped in the milk and not sugar as sugar melts and looses its identity while gold not only retains its distinctiveness but also adds to the value of milk. The sources of these stories , even if they are folklore or legend loaded with emotional content, need to be located for the purpose of empirical research.Thanx for the lovely compliments to our community and good to know you have such high regards.Bye and God bless you.

If we understand history realistically it has a lot of wisdom to which takes us in depth of human nature,when the arabs invaded [fars]persia when we discover the propaganda of time infact the arabs were barbaric people they forced the occuppied nations to speak their language and their religon,only the jews saved their language and religion by escaping to europe in mass migration while the parsies who left persia were a small number of people belonged to noble status such as highly intelluactuals,rich families higher class belonging to the kings court,now today we can see the social efforts the parsi community is doing in bombay,karachi and else where.the parsi community is the most highly educated in pakistan.

I would like to congradulate you on your site. I would also add that it lacks any links on conversion to zoroastrianism. There is a growing interest among iranians to learn about their ancester’s faith.
Best regards

There are a lot of articles on the subject and you may read them at http://tenets.zoroastrianism.com/
