Brian storming question: Why is it so necessary that to be a Moyebdar onus on the children of Mobeds. It should be available to all.
Secondly: the prayers recited should be in a language ‘understood-comprehensible’ by the listeners.
Thirdly: show how the listening of the prayers be put into practice in our day-to-day living.
Fourthly: have more ‘inter faith’ discussions with other religions so as to achive the moto: ‘religion should unite(mankind) and not divide.
Disclaimer: personal obervation of mine, your followup in the next Seminar be looked into, thank you
How about following the true tenets of Zarathushtra: Equality of the sexes and open the Mobedi to the women
who want to do it. I am a Mobedyar in the US and I cannot emphasize the joy and transcendent experience when i
pray at the jashans and Muktad. It’s time to wake up and break the patriarchy that sometimes is suffocating
Well spoken Jimmy
