A Question?

The world is a dangerous place,not because of those who do “evil”but because of those who look on and do nothing? Albert Einstein
Our southern neighbours
Will soon go to
The polls to caste
Their votes
To elect a new President
Please,chill,pause & think
What Asho Zarathushtra did
Sacrificing His whole life
To spread the
Pristine Message to Humanity
Of No DOs & Donts.

To us, does
Zoroastrianism even matter?
Does it have to be treated
Like an old or piece of furniture
If Zoroastrianism becomes extinct
Who cares, Right?
Sit back & do nothing
Let’s leave it to the Egoistic
High Priests as their
(With due respect to a few)
Attitude is “Laissez Faire”
Would you rather be
forced to convert to
A different Religion?
With Laws controlling
Every aspect of one’s life
Or savour the
Pristine Message
Of Asho Zarathushtra
“Hear with your ears
Ponder with a Good Mind”
What a Pristine & Simple
Message to humankind.

While the Stupid Ones (with due respect to most of our learned priests & Scholars) are full of confidence Charles Bukowski

  • dear farida , please quit telling about our religion getting extinct, teach and tell others that we will survive. Its not 600bc but 7000bc. Have u asked people from other countries who have and following ZOROASTRIANISM what their hopes and dreams are. IT’S FOURTEEN CENTURIES IN INDIA out of 9000 years. how do you think we are up, …….ends here

  • Let ego’s and demands of modern women come down..
    Let them learn how to compromise with situations, learn how to live and respect their in-laws..
    Let parents not decide whether their child should marry a lawyer, doctor or a professional who has settled abroad.
    They are your children, but grown-up adults.. STOP dominating them and let them take control of their lives..

    • Dear Zoroastrian

      How come our community is lamenting that the numbers are dwindling?
      Our Religion has No Dos or any Don’ts It’s Freedom of Thought Word & Deed!!

      As regarding your 2nd comment:

      We Women Want To Break Free from the shackles that bind us
      So unchain these shackels
      ‘Cause we want to breathe & live free

      By closing the blinds as well as the drapes (Male domination)
      Is not doing us any good
      To survive as a whole
      We Want Break Free

      We may be of
      Any colour caste or creed
      We need a little undersanding
      Love as well treated with
      Respect & Dignity
      ‘Cause
      We wish To Break Free from Male Domination

  • Hello

    My main concern is that Zoroastrianism is on it’s Death Bed! There is groaning around
    If I may quote: Why are our numbers decreasing instead of increasing? We need to all take stock & Bring Down the Wall. & preach Equality Acceptance Tolerance Respect. By banning Zoroastrian women who are married to non Zoroastrians Is Not Doing Anyone Any GOOD.
    In the eyes of the Ahura Mazda we are all equal. Nobody gets a Special Treatment. whether one be an Emperor King Queen Prince Pauper or a mere robber!

  • DEAR FARIDA, ZOROASTRIANISM IS NOT DYING . JUST BECAUSE PARSIS ARE NOT OK WITH THEIR WAY OF LIFE AND SEE OTHERS POCKETS MORE FILLED THEN THEIRS , THEN THINGS TAKE A TWIST.
    INDIA IS DOING SOMETHING FOR THE ZOROASTRIANS, THEY KNOW THE AURA AND HONESTY WE PRESENT. EVEN PRESIDENT PUTIN CLAIMS ZARATHUSTRA WAS BORN IN RUSSIAN TERRITORY. I AM ‘CYRUS’ CLAIMED PRES. TRUMAN OF USA . NOBODY IS TALKING OF PARSIS .

    MAZISTACHA, VAHISTACHA, SRAESHTACHA.

  • The reason why technology advanced is because People dared to try. Democracy has come to so many countries because people got tired of tyranny as well autocracy & rebelled against it. They wanted to live & breath free!!!

    Why can’t we have a Spine & stand up to these Egoistic Priests who are bent on destroying a religion which Asho Zarathushtra sacrificed his whole life trying to spread the Message

    Believe me I am not against anyone or hate anybody & will never say anything negative but when knowingly & willfully trying shove twisted messages down people’s throats as though they were anointed by Ahura Mazda to spread His Message. All they are doing is ‘causing Hatred & creating divisions within the community by practicing Racism Discrimination & Bigotry. If we would have stood up against them we would not be moaning or groaning about Zoroastrianism being is a Vanishing Religion & it’s followers the Vanishing Breed!!
    I
    I do not think I am wrong am I? Hoping more feed back (faridabam@gmail.com)

  • Ushta all

    We have come a long way with lots of innovations & new ideas> why? because people dare to try. Democracy has come to so many countries because people were tired of tyranny Despotism Autocratic dictatorship & wanted to live & breath free!

    Well Zoroastrianism too must break free from the shackles of Egoistic Priests who want to divide the community by preaching Racism Discrimination & Bigotry.

    We too should have a Spine & stand up against these White Robes who shoves twisted messages in the name of our Religion

    Don’t moan & groan when we become a Vanishing Breed!!

    The only one’s who will suffer is the future Generation.

    So Stand UP & BE counted
