Another Poem
O Ye Zoroastrians of LIttle Faith
Zoroastrians are not a superior race
As it is thought out to be
Have you read the newspaper lately
Our ancient civilization is in
Utter ruins completely
We excommunicate Zoroastrian
Women married outside the Din
Yet expect other places of worship
As well as religions
To welcome & admit you in
When our pleas go answered
Taking refuge in other religions
AS well as prayers is not answer
As it is a direct slap
To our dear prophet Asho Zarathushtra
As one’s soul trembling dreading
Shivering ascends to hear its
Final fate
There are no watch towers
Sentries or guard dogs to
Guard the gate
Patiently the soul
Has to wait its turn
Alas! to turn back
It’s rather too late

It is a diktat from a ultra modern feminist and not a poem.
Let me ask u one question,
You must be having non Zoroastrian friends Do they have a photo of Asho Zarathushtra & how many Zoroastrians in their prayer corner have photos of prophets of other religions?
Then tell me if I am a ultra modern Feminist!
People of professing other religions believe that their religion is the one and only true path. They never pray to other religions or have any respect for other religions. Only one foolish microscopic community prays to other prophets and does all sorts of foolish things mentioned by you. Also, they impose their food preferences on others (please read the newspapers). Most of them are strongly of the opinion that we should forsake Zoroastrianism and follow their religion.
to hushang, how many are there who wants to forsake their religion–the one who craves material wealth. we are BLESSED see the wealth of the ZOARASTRIANS AND THE PERCENT AGE. The natives wants the parsees and we want to rid of the burden of religion-shame.
That’s where we come in. Educate the laity regarding the beauty of
our religion Zoroastrianism.
EDUCATE THE LAITY.farida u r right. everything wirtten is by scholars and to understand them is difficult. one picks up a topic the other something else.Even the names of 30 ROJ are are not spelled uniformly. NIRANGS are plenty but one must understand them properly. even the gah prayers in KHORDEH ADVESTA book do not mention different times to pray and avoid. All i do is pray what i pray is my pronouciation.and what i think is right and finally asking AHURA MAZDA forgivness and thank you. tehemton

Educating the laity I meant point out bigotry Racism Discrimination in our society. Not to follow blindly, Reason it out
All I ask is do the right thing by getting rid of bigoted laws. I truly understand your point of view ~
I too pray but that does not assure my a place in Garo Demana!
