Fellowship of Collective Consciousness.

Ba Humata presents a Dialogue with the eminent Respected Scholar Priest Ervad Dr. Ramiyar Karanjia (PhD) and his student Ervad Shehrazad Pavri recorded by Ashavan Yazdi Tantra. I express my profound gratitude to all of them for their effort and time. 

Ervad Karanjia teaches several important Precepts of Zarathushtra in this video including the concept putting prayers into action. His gentle manner of guidance is exemplary as is evidenced in this recording.

Ervad Dr. Ramiyar Parvez Karanjia, is a full fledged priest from the Dadar Athornan Institute. He has obtained his Masters and Doctorate in Avesta-Pahlavi from Bombay University.  He was a post doctoral research scholar at Universities of Uppsala (Sweden), Heidelberg (Germany) and Zurich.

Presently he is the Principal at the same Institute. He is an author of more than 15 books, He gives presentations and talks on Zoroastrian religion, spirituality, Iranian languages and history. He is a regular columnist with the Jame Jamshed Weekly .

On his website www.ramiyarkaranjia.com he offers information about Zoroastrian religion, Iranian history, languages and spirituality.

His student Ervad Sheherazad Pavri contributes beautifully.

Ervad Sheherazad Pavri is an alumnus of the Dadar Athornan Institute. An entrepreneur by profession, Sheherazad is also a practising priest involved in performing the higher liturgical ceremonies like the Yasna, Vendidad and Nirangdin. He loves helping people and is actively involved in community initiatives such as Empowering Mobeds and Zoroastrian Return to Roots. He has also participated in Zoroastrian congresses in the past and encourages youngsters to get more involved and give back to the community.

My Great grandfather Ervad Pestonji Noshirwanji Panthaki, Dasturji of the Sir J. J. Agiary Pune had taught the relevance of interpreting and acting upon Zarathushtra’s teachings for the good of all. He served the community as the Dasturji for over six decades, reaching the Agiary at 3 am and serving till late in the evening. He lived a very simple and pure life, spending most of his life in the Agiary. He brought up all his five sons to serve in different Agiaries in Udvada, Bombay and Pune, after they studied at the Cama Madrassa, Andheri under his wife’s brother Late Ervad Faramroze Patel who was the Principal there. 

My Grand Father Ervad Noshirwanji Pestonji Panthaki though a Priest, served the Bangalore Entee Parsi Dharamshala for over 30 years implementing the concept of Service and Prayer, along with his wife Piroja, giving up their very lucrative business in Panchagani. They provided people a home away from home in Bangalore. They served very sincerely so that the visiting Zarthushtis from all over the World were were looked after and fed home cooked sumptuous clean and healthy authentic Parsi food which was enjoyed thoroughly by one and all. This feeling of being at home they say, helped them to build their lives and to grow their Entrepreneural endeavours contributing to a thriving Zarthusti community.
