Please add yourself and your family members to the directory. Glance at the listings of fellow Zoroastrians throughout the world.
Please Bookmark This Website, visit it often, and tell other Zoroastrians, Parsis and Iranis about it.
Our idea behind ZoroastrianDirectory.com is simple “keep a worldwide listing of Zoroastrians”.
Commendable indeed, appreciate the efforts put in by you will also inform my friends and others about the same.
It is great to see all these Zoroastrian Resources combined into one place. Congratulations, Yazdi! It is really heartwarming to see. How can we help disseminate this better?

You are part of the elite parsis who have divided our community along with the others working behind the scenes in your private emails. this is a propaganda website…its solely for and by the parsis and few yazdi persian zoroastrians who are orthodox religious like yourself. This has been planned for decades to bully and ostracize persian zoroastrians particularly those who are not from Yazd starting with control of the Darbeh Mehr/Mabed’s/Temples and most prominently at conferences. How many speakers who were persian were pushed aside or left with time slots where no one was in attendance or tired to attend (end of day, end of week)…all rituals/practices /traditions have been parsi and forced down our throats. This is not the majority! The persians are majority. Shame on you being educated and behaving in this way!
Dear Yazdi,
Thanks to you and your team, for all your hard work and effort, this so called ‘Truthteller’ is talking nonsense.
TruthTeller is telling the Truth. There are so many Persian Zoroastrians who are fed up with divisive acts of Parsis. Just take a look at some Zoroastrian centers, some of our Congresses, etc. etc. including Zoroastrian Olympics, the one in Vancouver was just a biased program against our Zoroastrian Youth of Iran, it was racist and prejudice. Just ask Fariborz Rahnamoon. Read email exchanges that he did with a clown by the name of Meher Amalsad who ruined the spirit of our Zoroastrian Youth of Iran by abandoning them at the airport and providing no support at all while (as always) making bogus exaggerated statements & claims on his “Network of Worldwide” emails. Shame on those who are Zoroastrians by name and are so prejudice against Persian Zoroastrians.
This is another wonderful effort. Congrats to Yazdi and team for the initiative and providing useful links on all aspects of the community.
wonderful web site we need to collect funds for Zorastrian and other community children of S P Jain Sadhana School for developmentally challenged , wil appreciate all the Help we need sponsors who can donate funds , adopt a child , and help us to Pay the tuttition fees of poor students , help with day to day payment of fees and salaries for speech Thearapist , O T teachers etc , we have no funds no money to pay for the teachers Please help us

Dear Yazdi and associates,
You gave me a big fright
When you said you had a new website,
But when at your site I took sight,
I gained a lot of insight!
I have studied everything with great delight.
On the Parseess you’ve shed a lot of light,
And made them appear so bright.
To your future ideas more might!

Mr Behli Rustomjee my father today would be so proud that he is still remembered by all and yes he has always been everyone mentor and principal even after leaving us .
Is he the Behli Rustomji who composed the “Our Heritage” song?
I could never expect more than what I have seen, read and observed on this site. I am an old virbaijeeite having graduated in 1954.
I came to know about the sad demise in 2002 of my principal and mentor Mr Behli Rustomjee through Ardeshir Cowasjee, my senior in the School. A loss which can never be filled.
I would welcome any of my schoolmates to a long association reminiscing the days passed at the School.

SIMPLY SUPERB.. SHOWS OUR UNITY… CAN’T WE B LIKE THIS ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS……WHY THE INFIGHTING… WHAT ARE WE GOING TO ACHIEVE…????
Very brilliant effort, truly deserves a pat on your back, Keep it up.
News channel “India TV” on 2/10/2008 telecast a report at 11 pm about the palace of Narsinh ( An avtaar of Vishnu ) wherein they show the ruins of Parsipolis and depict it as King Narsinh’s palace. It also said that it is situated in North Iraq. Such false report they telecast and that too on a national Channel is deplorable. Earlier they had telecast the Parsipolis, Tomb of Cyrus with a commentary that this is YAMLOK. Can not somebody write India TV to stop such absurd reports completely ignoring great Zoroastrian history and its legacy.

Thank You 😀
I would love to hear from any of my old Parsi school friends from St. Mary’s — particularly Pilsum Master, Mehernosh Dah, Pervez Dastur, Jimmy Shroff, Nozer Dadachanji, Jimmy D.F.D.Lam, Rusi Meherhomji, Percy Darookhanawalla, and many others whose names I do not recall but whose memories are still fresh in my mind 51 years after I left school. THOSE WERE THE DAYS !
Bomi:
My God I just saw your E-mail request while I was googling my name. I have thought of you often, and it pains me that after I left St. Marys I lost touch with almost every body except Mehdi Padamsee (who was with me in St.Xaviers College for a while) and Phiroze Amroliwalla. I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. I moved to Canada after getting my M.Sc in Geology in the US and worked in the mining industry for 32 years.. I then retired but went back to work in IT. I am married to Ruby for 39 years and have two sons and a daughter. I am a grand father — my daughter has a 1 yr old son and another packet on the way. I remember your mother who used to come to school. Please let me know about your self any any body else you have kept in touch with from our group.
Regards
Pilsum
My dear Pilsum,
I was delighted to hear from you after all these years. We were so close during our school days and then we just lost touch — almost as if we had disappeared from the face of the earth ! It is good to re-establish contact now even though we may be at the fag end of our lives — thanks to modern technology which gave us the Net. Please do keep in touch regularly from now on without fail. My email i.d. is “chinoybomi@hotmail.com”
Do write to me. We have a lot to discuss and catch up on.
As I read your communication I noticed several similarities in our lives.My wife Jaloo and I have also been married for 39 years. We too had two sons and a daughter (unfortunately the daughter and one son were cases of premature birth and passed away before we could enjoy them).The surviving son(our eldest) whose name is Fredy completed his ISC from St. Mary’s and went on to do his Masters in Electronics & Communications from Rutgers Univ. U.S.A. He is now settled in Virginia USA with his wife and one year old daughter (another similarity) .So both of us are grandfathers of one year old kids.
Jaloo and I both love to travel. We have seen several cities in Europe, U.S.A., Iran, Egypt, and China. In the year 2004 we took a cruise to Alaska and covered the Canadian Rockies. In fact on our way back we passed through Calgary before eventually going to Fredy’s place. If I had known you were in Calgary I would have come knocking at your door and surprised you !
Do send me an email and we will continue this conversation. In the meantime Jaloo and I wish Ruby and you along with your family all the very best for the New Year 2010.
Regards,
Bomi.

My late aunt Gool Screwalla passionately believed in the imminent arrival of Shah Behramshah Verzavand but I was sceptical about it and even teased her frequently by asking her if she had heard anything from him lately. She passed away quite some time ago (soon after I visited Iran) and I now find myself regretting my earlier attitude. In fact after observing the recent turmoil in Iran I now fervently wish that saviour Shah Behramshah Verzavand would really appear and rid our dear Iran from the tyranny of the mullahs. Can anyone enlighten me further on this matter ?
Dear Bomi,
I am from sec’bad and have settled in Mumbai Powai. Now for a year in doha qatar. When were you in Iran? Selfish motive in communicating with you is to find out the must see places in Iran. I am planning to visit in mid Oct. Shiraz, Persipolis are my current targedfor 6 day visit. what other nearby city would you reccommend.
Bomi +974-6458464 / beepjai@yahoo.com
Dear Bomi,
Iran is an exceedingly beautiful country. I firmly believe every Zoroastrian MUST make at least one visit to our Madrevatan in his/her lifetime (just as every Muslim makes a visit to Mecca). I visited Iran in May 2004 and found all the places (Tehran, Caspian, Hamadan, Isfahan, Shiraz, Persepolis, Yazd) beautiful and unforgettable. it is difficult to pin-point any one place as being better thn the others. I have visited many countries in the world but none has affected me as much as Iran –you will know what I mean when you visit it.
Dear Bomi, you underrate your power to do good. After all we are children of God

Our community is in dire need of a radical reformation …the most prominent being a strong beacon to lead our disjointed and disillusioned community back on its glorious path. We need to shake up our youth and adults alike to stop their petty squabbles,irresponsible behaviours, mud-slinging, prevaricating the message of Asho Spitaman ZARATHUSHTRA …to suit certain individuals and above all we should start to see ‘the bigger picture’ of a forward looking and a united Zarathushti Qoum.
Let us work together and bring back the well-deserved glory back to our Zarathushti Qoum. In case young and adult Parsee/ Irani entrepreneurs wish to be guided and helped they may feel free to contact meon my office/mobile numbers 022-32968175 and 9819022254.Best regards
Aspi:
You said: “Our community is in dire need of a radical reformation ”
I absolutely agree with you.
If I may suggest, in order to prevent potential extinction of the Zorastrian community, probably the most pressing need that you may want to propagate is allowing inter-marriage with other communities.
To start with, Parsis may allow into their fold at least those who are willing to lead their lives the Parsi way. While many world religions (most notably Islam and Christianity) are agog with conversion programs, and many others are kind of neutral in that quest, the only religion that actively disallows any outsider into their fold is Zorastrianism.
Unless that changes there is a real danger of the rapidly dwindling Parsi community into extinction in the foreseeable future.

Bahrot Caves should be preserved.
I would like to see the cave restored.
The caves should be saved for sure.
*Khshnaothra Ahurahe Mazdao*
Do we mean the Bahrot Caves, 1500 ft. AMSL, with about 3 hrs. difficult climb from near Sanjan where our Holy PAK IRANSHAH was preserved for 12 long years after a bloody battle against overwhelming muslim army from where it was later shifted to the Hill Top of Vansda forest from there to Navsari in 1419. The first group visit was in 1884, the last in 04 Apr 1985 by volunteers from Free Food Service Charitable Trust who all had done a creditable work.
I would like to invite dedicated professional volunteers to study the earlier work, carry out a proper survey, record the same on video and digital media, carryout a Holy Jashan ceremony and see what can be done further to bring it on The our Zarthosti Heritage.
As new comer to this interesting website and have a very keen interest in the Parsi, I think this is a monumental and a relic that needs to be saved for future generations to come ! what an epic find !

The caves must be saved for posterity.I’am not Parsi , but was born in Navsari and have always had great admiration for Parsis and all they have done for the country.
i am a pakistani, reading about this on Dawn newspaper made me ponder of my early childhood days.I have utmost respect for the Parsi faith. they are the educated and contributionary people of the city of like Karachi. a few of my school teachers belonged to the zorastarian faith. Especially my tutor was a wonderful parsi lady by the name of Pillo and she was a prime example of hard work and sheer dedication, and her discipling all those who were taught by her. i can recall her account on the partition history of the subcontinent, and feel that parsi coomunity wherever they have settled contributed to their land of residence,
Farooq:
While I admire your fascination of the Parsis, I must say that Parsis are the ONE & ONLY minority religion that is probably TOLERATED in Pakistan.
While there are some eminent patriotic Pakistani Parsis like ARDESHIR COWASJEE of Dawn, there are also a handful of Jews in Pakistan who for fear of persecution call themselves Parsi.
Murali-Atlanta-USA
I am a Hindu, and in the true Hindu tradition have the highest regard for all world religions (with the exception of Islam!), and more so for one of the oldest religions in the world Zorastrianism. Parsis came to India not to conquer (the way the Mughal tyrants came) but for protection, and an opportunity to practice their faith without fear. They have been amongst the most patriotic of Indians and have been truly instrumental in laying the foundations for an Industrial India.
It’s a pity that India (which I am proud to say was my former home, and NOT my current home!) which surpasses even most Islamic countries in pandering to the largely ungrateful Muslims (ofcourse with some notable exceptions like Abdul Kalaam, Azim Premji and NOT SRK, Pataudi, Dilip Kumar!), turns a blind eye to the paltry demands of our other truly patriotic minorities such as the Parsis, Anglo-Indians, Sikhs, and also Christians.
It’s high time educated Indians put their foot down to force the Indian govt to allocate necessary resources for genuine upliftment of these communities, and most notably the Parsi community which is in imminent danger of extinction.
To start with, I urge the GOI to show resolve by aiding in the restoration of all Parsi sites to their former glory.
Murali-Atlanta-USA
Parsi’s are basically indians, they are an offshoot of Hinduism. They are indian citizens and are slowly being reabsorbed back into hinduism and the indian blood line. They are not the same as Zarastrianism but are basically hindus who got influenced by it and made their own version of it and are now called ”Parsi”.
WHOEVER SAID PARSIS ARE AN OFF SHOOT OF HINDUISM. THE PERSON WHO MADE THAT COMMENT NEEDS TO READ UP ON THE HISTORY OF ZOROASTRIANISM.
IT BEGAN IT’S EXISTENCE 800 BC. THE ZOROASTRIANS FLED PERSIA IN 1351 TO AVOID BEING CONVERTED TO ISLAM.
FOR THIS IGNORANT PERSON TO SAY THAT PARSIS ARE AN OFF SHOOT OF HINDUISM IS LAUGHABLE. GET REAL KNUCKLEHEAD.
This guy Abhi has no idea of History and a quite a few Indians are like him. He is equating Indian citizenship with Hinduism.
I agree 100% with Sri & Koshik about keeping one’s IGNORANT theories to themselves. They are INDEED more enlightened about the Zoroastrian religion than that Abhi person who prolly likes the sound of his IGNORANCE.
Since 2002, I have been a volunteer Massage Therapist at the Zoroastrian games which are held in the U. S. A. or Canada every 2 years. Before the start of the games, there is a prayer ceremony performed. The prayers are very similar to the once said in india; the only difference is that they have more Persian & Farsi in them. Often I felt that the Irani Zoroastrian were more into the religion than we were in India. Their homes are filled with pictures of our Lord Zarathushtra or the Farovar: sometimes 2 &3 to a room.
The prayers in india has a lot of Sanskrit. So for the knucklehead to say Parsis are an off shoot of Hinduism is the stupidiest comment i’ve heard in a while. IT MUST BE NOTED: the Parsis assimilated so very well into the social structure of the culture of India, that I doubt very much if any other religion has been able to blend in so well & YET MAINTAIN their religious beliefs.
So thank you to all non-Parsis who have supported this website & urge the Government of India to preserve the caves.
To the Parsi community: keep up the good work & work towards the preservation & promotion of our religion. Look at it this way: we are probably about 50,000 IN THE WHOLE WORLD. Don’t let this great religion go into oblivion.
Abhi:
Please kep your theories to yourself and do not make a fool of yourself.
Save the Cave. It is a world heritage. It is our heritage.
It’s good to see and learn about new culture and religion.Proud to be a Hindu which always accepted all people from all religion,races without any intention to gain political or economic benefit.Alas Muslims and Christians portray us as bad guys who exploit the minorities.Proud to be an Indian,and a request to the parsis,don’t give up hope.Hindus can take all pain but will never let hurt anybody.If we had such a great history,I don’t believe at all that we are the bad boys now.

Can someone let me know if there is an Zorastrian Anjumn in Dhaka Bangla Desh? A friend of mine will soon be lecturing at the Dhakka university.
Dear Zoroastrian ,
I now your existence is from the start and always interested to know about your religion . I am student of IU university in Pakistan and i have a group for research on your religion I had a really humble request from you if you can share some knowledge with us as I am interested to know the names of your temples , your food dishes and a concept of your religion .
Thank You.

As new comer to this interesting website and have a very keen interest in the Parsi, I think this is a monumental and a relic that needs to be saved for future generations to come ! what an epic find!
Hi. I am Jal 23 from Iran. I study in India, and as a Parsi i always get interested in our dear Parsi people. But what i see is not satisfactory.Because Parsis came to India to save the religion, not to kill it after 14 centuries. Parsis should stop arguing so much, and try to find solution to the existing problem. Which is our path to self-destruction. This is enough of being idle. Muslims have looted this country and as a reward they have got Pakistan. But what about peaceful Parsis? How much have great Parsis have contributed to this country and got nothing in return. How many times we have to see Parsis being idle. Big personas in political, economical arena of India who are Parsis, are being careless to our own community. Building some apartments, hiring some Parsi people in companies are not enough for Parsi community. We are destined to be great. We should demand small autonomy from India. We should start growing on our own, and stop our young generation leaving the community. We are Parsis, we are great. We can achieve great thingS. Please dear brothers unite and stop the conflicts with and see the truth. See our potential to growth. Please dont refuse Iranians, Persians to this community. Persia is the land where prophet Zarathusht was born, where Great book of Avesta was written. Lets keep this in mind.
Please forgive my intrusion. I am not of your faith. However, I have devoted much study to it along with Persian history & geography. I am at least somewhat familiar with your scripture of the Avesta including the Gathas, Yasna, Visparad, Videvdat, Yashts, Bundahishn, Shayest ne-Shayest, Shkand Gumanig Wizar, Denkard & the book of Arda Viraf. I have also written on the subject ( not for publication) of Zoroastrian history, teachings, observances & influences on Judaism & Christianity & lectured on it to members of my faith. And I have previously been in correspondence with a Parsi Zoroastrian for several months. In short, I feel a debt of gratitude to your people.
My heart grieves over the Macedonian & Muslim onslaughts of your land, your scripture & your people. Iran was once the greatest nation on earth! The very heart of the Persian Empire. The land of Cyrus the Great & the land of the true Aryans. From the grandeur & glory of Persepolis under Zoroastrian rule to the slums of Shiraz under Muslim rule.
I can’t imagine a tougher internal discussion & debate than the very survival of your ancient faith. Is it best to remain a proud people true to your proud heritage & bloodline & become extinct off the face of the earth? Or should all your pride & purety as a people of Airyane Vaejahi be forever sacraficed so as to keep your faith alive & growing?
It is with humata, hukhta, huvarshta that I wish you all the very best outcome in this ongoing debate, whatever that may be. Sincerely, Michael ( A Jewish Ashavant)
You are wrong in some points. Iran was one of the greatest nation you can say but not greatest. Ancient India was greatest. Also India can be called as the land of true aryans if there is any such race as aryan lol which i highly doubt. This is because aryan is an sanskrit word and not a persian word.
Dear Jal,
Having read your citation above you seem to be making a few interesting point however i’m somewhat bemused by your comments vis-a-vis namely; “This is enough of being idle”; “How much have great Parsis have contributed to this country and got nothing in return.” “Building some apartments, hiring some Parsi people in companies are not enough for Parsi community.”: “We should demand small autonomy from India.” Look your comments are quite naive and as thought your proposing a bloody revolution in India which is abit richcoming from a 23 year old, on my reckoing i think you have much to learn about The Parsi Community in Mumbai seriously.

Greetings Parsis,
I am an American from Atlanta, GA. Against much opposition from friends, I chose to fly to Mumbai in November, 2010 for dental work for many reasons. It resulted in being one of the best decisions that I have ever made in my entire life because my doctors are all Parsis. Not only are they extroadinary dentists, surgeons, lecturers and researchers, they are warm, kind, fun-loving and so very honest and wise. They took care of my every need, always concerned about my comfort and happiness. They invited me to a Parsi wedding which started my quest of Parsi facination. I am honored to return Jan. 2012 to sing for their children’s Navjote. Please contact me via this e-mail post or call me @ 404-644-0111 if you live around Atlanta or would be interested in the beautiful, over-the-top dental services these doctors provide!!

Hello,
I’m a Zoroastrian convert! And I wrote this:
Yet I see not Ahura Mazda-Lord Wisdom, that is,
I do not suppose that I see him not because he existeth not,
But because my eyes are not prepared to see the unseen as they should be prepared,
As the eyes that see nothing in the dark for in the darkness they’re not used to see,
Nor to be.
I know that He existeth, beyond all human knowledge He existeth,
And He is Asha, Truth, that is in the everlasting fire of Truth,
And He is Afarefah, Vaspar and Khorehomand,
I shall always obey as He shall command.
O Ahura Mazda bringst thou me a stone;
So that I could engrave thy name on it,
Sure the Followers of the Lie followed
The wrongfulness and I am not fit,
For such a bone.

Hi Friends,
I hope you all have are fine and doing well in your day to day lives. I THANK YOU all for coming forward in the last year and helping us out with your generous donations towards the maintenance of the URAN PARSI AGIARY.
We also had a good Salgiri Celebrations.The function also helped us with good donations flowing in. I SAY GOOD AS ALL THE DONATIONS COME TOGETHER WERE JUST ENOUGH FOR US TO REBUILD THE ALL IMPORTANT KATHI ROOMS,for Kathi and holy vessels and utensils storage of the Agiary.However much needs to be done.
I am attaching two photos of the New KATHI ROOMS for all of you to see,especially the ones who were not able to make it personally for the Salgiri function.
We now propose to stand up on our own and generate our own income. In order to do that we want to give a complete face lift and total roof repair[which is leaking now]of the Sanatorium in the Agiary Complex. As once this building is in shape and the rooms have all fitings and electricals along with beds and matresses; we will be able to advertise full fledged and INVITE more and more PARSI AND IRANI Zoroastrians to come and spend cool week ends and peaceful holidays amongst the greens of the Agiary compaound and the Arabian Sea facing in front. All in all its a splendid holiday place,once it gets its total facelift.
I hereby request you to please kindly come forward in huge numbers to donate the maxiumum you all can, to help us in our second step towards the noble cause of SAVING THE HOLY AND AUSPICIOUS NHALO AATASH, who has blessed us all and fulfilled many wishes of the people who have tremendous faith in HIM.Amen!!!
As before, please forward your kind donations to MR. KERSI B SUI by an account payee cheque and courier it to the following address:

this is in reference to Jal comments regarding the parsi’s community. Jal has crticised the Muslims that they had looted the India and as a result they got their own independent country. i think jal is not aware of the facts that compelled Muslims to struggle for an independent nation. in the united India the Muslims persecuted, maltreated, manhandled,their properties were confiscated,they were deprived of the top ranking jobs, which these Hindus were frequently enjoying. i am not criticizing the Hindus, they are our brothers.i would request you to please go through the history first and than comment.

i have been doing research on this religion and i just had a few questions for a Zoroastrian and their personal experiances and views on the religion?
I’m not a Zoroastrian, but am interested in it also. What have you discovered and what are you wanting to know?
The Lewis Elton Gallery at the University of Surrey are currently showing an exhibition ‘Like Sugar in Milk: Stories of Zoroastrian Migration to the South East of England’. The Heritage Lottery Funded exhibition was organised by Brighton based theatre group, BandBazi. It marks the culmination of an 18 month project involving over twenty volunteers. Volunteer ‘memory collectors’ from Sussex and Surrey have captured the migration stories of twelve Zoroastrian Elders from the wider South East region. The project has been guided by a Steering Group made up of members and leaders of Zoroastrian organisations.
Exhibition dates Tuesday 5 – Thu 21 Feb 2013. Further information at http://www.surrey.ac.uk/arts/visualarts.
I am a transplanted Iranian, now a US citizen. I was brought up in a mix of Jewish and Christian religious backgrounds, while growing up in the rich context of Shiite Islam in Iran. I firmly believe that the historical influence and rich history of Iran goes even deeper than religious influences in those of us who grew up in Iran. I fought any association with Iran as I grew up in the US, but now understand that I cannot , nor do I want to ignore my heritage. Although I was never brought up as a Zoroastrian in any formal way, I feel a deep connection to this religion and philosophy. It encompasses all the good and pure ideals of any religion, or philosophy. I would love to learn more about also. Interestingly, as a college student I studied feminism and especially environmental feminism. Now I realize that these thoughts and ideas of respect for nature and each other, and respect for other beliefs was the basis of Zoroastrianism 3500 years ago. Children should be taught in schools, and Zoroastrian ideas and philosophic arguments should be debated in houses of worship in the US and all over the world — as a way of introducing everyone to Zoroastrianism as well as to open debate and thought among other people.
Are there any centers in the US? Which Cities?

Dear Zoroastrian Community
My name is Charlie a researcher at the University of Oxford (UK), my great grandfather was a Parsi born in Bombay (Mumbai). I am trying to track my family history and was wondering if there are any archives of Parsi family history in or around Bombay. Any recommendations on any where I could look for my family history would be fantastic.
Best
Charlie
Check out reddit.com/r/zoroastrianism.
Archives do exist in Mumbai, have you also looked at any shipping records?
