KHAREGHAT SHOOTOUT
The Edi tor,
Parsi Ti mes,
Thi s refers to a l etter
appeari ng i n your papers
i ssue of the 15th October
authored by Khojeste Mi stree.
Normal l y, I do not read l etter
from thi s i ndi vi dual i n mi nute
detai l but si nce the same
pertai ned to i ssue rai sed by
Hi gh Pri est of Udvada and
si nce the matter was about
the wel fare of resi dents of a
Parsee Col ony vi z Khareghat
Col ony, I read Mi strees Vi ew
Poi nt careful l y to be fai r to
hi m.
Mi stree has sai d that on
the rel evant date he was ti red
and had gone to sl eep. Fi ne, a
person does need rest. Usi ng
Mi strees own chronol ogy
of events, he returned home
at 10.30, was asl eep at 11.00
p.m. when Gustad Irani rang
doorbel l of hi s house. So far
so good but how di d he wake
up to attend to Mehel i Col ahs
phone as wel l as Ji mmy
Mi strys phone cal l l ater on?
That i s qui te i ntri gui ng.
Mi stree has made a
gri evance about the Parsee
press gangi ng up agai nst
hi m. The same i f true i s
ieeclive of his popuIaiily
i ndex. Mi stree cannot expect
every Parsee to forget hi s
pol l promi se to decl are assets
upon bei ng el ected, whi ch
he has not adhered to after
passage of three years.
Mi stree has al so added
that Those who want the
col l apse the Dokhmashi ni
system are al ready busy wi th
thei r nonsense.
In thi s context my
questi ons are:
1) The enti re communi ty
knows that the system as i t
exi sted say thi rty years ago
has al ready col l apsed and
there i s nothi ng anybody
can do further to add to i ts
col l apse. The reason why
Parsees opt for thi s defunct
system i s due to deni al of
sacraments by the Pri estl y
cl ass. If there was a al ternati ve
avai l abl e, there woul d be
hardl y two Ruvans a month
,deci di ng to al l ow thei r mortal
remai ns to rot.
2) Mi stree has been a
Trustee of B.P.P. for now
three years and i n what way
he has been abl e to revi ve thi s
dead system? If the system
were worki ng then there
woul d be no need for Sol ar
Concentrators whi ch because
of cl i mati c constrai nts can
operate onl y duri ng seven
nonlhs in a yeai since foi hve
months Khurshed Yezad i s
covered by cl ouds whi ch fact
wi l l be vouched even by a
school goi ng ki d.
3) Does any tenet of our fai th
permi t Sol ar Concentrators?
Where does the system al l ows
the bodi es to be sprayed wi th
browni e uri ne? Where does
the system al l ows use of ozone
gas / exhaust? Just to refresh
the memory i t was Hi gh
Pri ests Dr. Fi roze Kotwal
& others objected to sol ar
concentrators stati ng that
even a nai l cannot be nai l ed
i n Dokhma si nce they are
rel i gi ousl y consecrated. No
doubt he took summersaul t
wi thi n no ti me under your hi s
pressure. I woul d l i ke to add
that I too am a tradi ti onal i st
and bhunnar gunnar but
that does mean that I shoul d
cover my vi si on wi th mask
and bi d good bye to common
sense and reasoni ng. The
mi schi evous di storti on that al l
those who bel i eve i n practi ci ng
the col l apsed system al one are
tradi ti onal i sts and those who
di sagree are l esser Parsees
i s l aughabl e consi deri ng
the doubl e standards of
those weari ng the l abel of
Tradi ti onal i sts.
Instead of admi tti ng
hi s l i mi tati on, Mi stree has
chosen lo deecl lhe lIane
for defunct funerary system.
He was vocal for Avi ary
si nce over a decade and hi s
scorecard on thi s front after
becomi ng Trustee of B.P.P.
does not add to hi s C.V. or
Performance Apprai sal and
so he pl ays the game every
pol i ti ci an pl ays vi z. bl ame
game.
Madam Edi tor, pl ease

our Weekl y,
Lastl y I appreci ate the
efforts of Parsi Ti mes to be
i mparti al i n i ts reporti ng
vi ews of both si des.

HAS THE PARSI TALIBAN
ARRIVED?
Madam,
Apropos Letters to the
Edi tor PT 15 Oct., wherei n
you have publ i shed an
anonymous l etter Shooti ng
at Cusrow Baug.
Fol l owi ng thoughts raced
through my mi nd:
What i s the reason f or thi s
guy to request you not to
publ i sh the name?
1. Coul d i t be that he/ she
i s afrai d that a Fatwa
may be i nvoked, and he/
she may be treated l i ke a
renegade, and prevented
from parki ng hi s cars/ two
wheel ers at hi s favori te
pl ace, or deni ed entry i n
the cl ub?
2. Coul d i t be that he/ she i s
afrai d that Parsi pehl wans
wi l l bash hi m/ her up as
was done to ol d Moose, and
the Russi an Zoroastri an?
3. Coul d i t be that he/ she i s
on Leave and Li cense ,
whi ch has expi red or about
to expi re and the fear that
i t may not be renewed
and he/ she wi l l be care of
footpath outsi de Aga Bros,
shop?
4. Wi l l Parsi s i n the 21st
century, have to l i ve, l i ke
the Jews, of Europe had to,
under Hi tl er regi me, i n the
l ast century?
Has the Parsi Tal i ban
arri ved?
As for the shooti ng I feel
there shoul d be no objecti on
as l ong as some bodyguard
doesnt starts shooti ng
Parsi s and sendi ng them to
Doongerwadi for thei r l ast
journey. Shooti ng shoul d
take pl ace i n every baug so
that Parsi s can shake hands
wi th thei r favori te Bachchans,
Kapoors, Khans, and thei r
favouri te actresses, l i ke
Smri ti , Kajol and so on. After
al l Parsi s are fond of Hi ndi
movi es/ songs.
As for parki ng probl em,
Parsi s can resort to doubl e or
tri pl e parki ng or dri ve out to
Taj, Oberoi , duri ng those few
hours and whi l e thei r ti me
at the Ci gar Lounge or some
Cabaret.
Al so for peace and
tranqui l i ty thi s i s a good
excuse/ opportuni ty to get
out to Lonavl a to some
Del a Bungal ows, or Goa, or
Panchgani , Satara, etc, to
destress themsel ves.
Parsi s are very
broadmi nded and sporti ng
too. Parsi s have one Bi l l Gates
wi th 500 crores i n hi s hi p
pocket, so what i s the harm
i f a Parsi / Irani becomes a

Not everyone was outgoi ng and to

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Edi tor,
The vievpoinl of Mi. Khojesle
Mi stree i n the Parsi Ti mes of
15th October 2011 wi th regard
to the shooti ng i nci dent at the
Doongerwadi i s an obvi ous attempt,
al bei t a feebl e and unconvi nci ng one,
at a cover up, whi ch i f read careful l y
reveal s more than what he tri es to
conceal .
If as Mi. Khojesle nenlions, lhe
matter was sorted out i n the eveni ng
i tsel f, why was thi s si mpl e fact not
conveyed lo Dasluiji Khuished
and the others who had assembl ed
at the Doongerwadi after 11 pm ?
How di d he manage to answer cal l s
from Mr. Mehl i Col ah et al after 11
pm. and was not wi l l i ng to take cal l s
from other concerned communi ty
members?
If, as cl ai med by Mr. Mi stree, the
food and the festi vi ti es had al ready
been stopped at Mr. Di nshaw
Mehtas orders and the portabl e
toi l ets removed, how di d the Parsi
Ti mes photographer manage to
shoot shots of the buffet tabl e and
the toi l ets? How come food was seen
bei ng cooked and the cast & crew
di ni ng away obl i vi ous to the heated
si tuati on?
Oh! Whal a langIed vel Mi.
Khojesle Misliee liied lo veave lul
al l he has achi eved has been to fal l
al on his face.
As for Mr. K. Mi strees outrage
that he shoul d have been contacted
before publ i shi ng the report i n the
Parsi Ti mes, was he not fast asl eep
after burni ng the mi dni ght oi l for
3 previ ous ni ghts and di d not take
any cal l s? And the i ci ng on the cake
has the WAPIZ page ever checked
the facts & fal l aci es wi th those
they have cri ti ci zed, now that Mr.
Khojesle expecls such couilesies lo
le exlended lo hin! As you sov, so
shal l you reap.
Mr. K. Mi stree may not have been
a party to granti ng the permi ssi on for
the use of Doongerwadi premi ses,
but he has mi serabl y fai l ed i n hi s
duty as a Trustee and as a rel i gi ous
schol ar to protect the Doongerwadi
from bei ng desecrated.
I wi l l henceforth remember Mr.
Khojesle Misliee as lhe 'SIeeping
Trustee. He has shown that he and
Neio aie of lhe sane iIk - one hddIed
whi l st Rome was burni ng, the other
sl ept whi l st Doongerwadi was bei ng
desecrated and mi sused.
The communi ty deserves to know

Peopl e are engrossed i n themsel ves. They dont
have ti me for others. Thi s i s a conti nuous act. It
goes on. Everyone i s ti red of i t. I di sl i ke pol i ti cs
and want to stay away from al l thi s. Not onl y the
BPP but pol i ti cs i n general . Whenever we read
somethi ng about the BPP i n the news papers
we thi nk, ar ey aa BPP nu l afr u pachhu sar u t hai
gayu . I thi nk Parsi Ti mes shoul d carry more
of i nspi rati onal stori es rather than di rty pol i ti cs
rel ated thi ngs. For e.g. I want peopl e to know what
commerci al arts i s exactl y because whenever I
tel l them that I am studyi ng commerci al arts, al l
I get i s bl ank l ooks. I want peopl e to know that
you can do di fferent thi ngs, whacky stuff rather
than the same B.Com or BMS. We shoul d know
what i s goi ng on i n the Communi ty but kant al o
awi j ay at l u nai . Everythi ng shoul d not be merged
i n to the BPP and pol i ti cs.

I dont thi nk that i t i s a bad i dea to publ i sh facts
about the pol i ti cs and the questi onabl e acti vi ti es
of the BPP as the enti re communi ty can be made
aware about the happeni ngs and the acti vi ti es
of the BPP. It i s the ri ght of every Parsi to know
what i s happeni ng i nsi de the communi ty. At
the same ti me Parsi Ti mes must al so cover
i nspi rati onal and upl i fti ng arti cl es as they teach
every i ndi vi dual a l esson. It i s qui te common
nowadays to hear about facts of mi suse and
breach of trust. I guess the onl y sol uti on i s to
work on them and ensure i t does not reoccur!!!!!
Mehrzaad Mogrel i a
Age : 18 years
Yes, I am very much i nterested i n readi ng about
the pol i ti cs and questi onabl e acti vi ti es of vari ous
organi zati ons that appear i n Parsi Ti mes. Thi s
makes me aware of what i s real l y goi ng on i n
the Parsi Communi ty. Such questi ons are usual l y
i nteresti ng to read. Wel l , Parsi Ti mes shoul d
dehnileIy pulIish ailicIes vhich aie inspiiing
and upl i fti ng because accordi ng to me, our
communi ty needs such encouragement, but at
the same ti me Parsi Ti mes shoul d cover other
heIds as veII in oidei lo nake il a noie successfuI
and compl ete newspaper, so that Parsi s of al l age
groups can read the newspaper.
No, the facts about breach and mi suse of power
do not have a real i mpact on me, but someti mes
I do feel hurt when certai n peopl e who you
trust and hand over the rei ns of a communi ty
to, mi suse the power al l otted to them and hence
break the trust we show i n them.
Arti cl es about mi suse of power do i nterest me
because the true character of a person i s exposed
to the enti re worl d, though someti mes such
accusati ons about mi suse of power maybe fal se
as wel l .

Yes, I woul d l ove to read about whats goi ng

fol l ows adul t franchi se we are i nterested i n
knowi ng how our el ected representati ves are
handl i ng thei r posi ti ons effecti vel y, & to what
extent are they hel pi ng the communi ty grow.
Parsi Ti mes shoul d not onl y cover i nspi rati onal

Pol i ti cs i s the subject of my i nterest. I am tryi ng
to cl osel y study the pol i ti cal acti vi ti es happeni ng
i n our communi ty as wel l as our country. It i s
i nteresti ng to read about the vari ous acti vi ti es of
the BPP as wel l as i ts trustees, who are no l ess
than heroes for us. We are the ones who el ect
the trustees and therefore, we must have fai th i n
thei r performances too.
A newspaper i s l i ke a garden whi ch i s a shel ter

I have heard from many peopl e that Trusts are
just for the name and thei r trustees are parti al .
But some al so say that thei r houses run wel l due
to the hel p recei ved from the Trusts. Some of
my rel ati ves and fri ends are themsel ves trustees
or i n some or the other way connected wi th
the acti vi ti es of the Trusts. I have al ways seen
them putti ng i n efforts i n order for the trusts to

Yes, I an dehnileIy inleiesled in ieading aloul
the pol i ti cs and questi onabl e acti vi ti es of the
BPP. As the BPP i s the apex body responsi bl e
for the proper governance of our communi ty, i t
i s essenti al for everyone to know what ki nd of
acti vi ti es they enter i nto. Al so due to thi s, any
ki nd of acti vi ti es whi ch may hamper the i nterest
of the communi ty members can i mmedi atel y
be found and prevented. I woul d prefer that
Parsi Ti mes covers i nspi rati onal and upl i fti ng
arti cl es, but al ong wi th that arti cl es whi ch affect
the common i nterest of the communi ty shoul d
al so be covered. An i n-depth anal ysi s of i mportant
acti vi ti es shoul d be undertaken. Facts about
mi suse and breach of trust surel y affect me and
probabl y the enti re communi ty. Those entrusted
wi th power, shoul d not mi suse the trust that the
communi ty members have bestowed upon them,
as they are the ones who are el ected to represent
us and sol ve our probl ems. Arti cl es regardi ng
such facts shoul d be made publ i c, as we get an

Of Course, Parsi Ti mes has come out very bol dl y to expose the

say we wi l l convert Leave & Li cense i nto Tenancy but once
they get el ected they forget al l about i t.
As a newspaper you have to carry al l news. Press i s an

K
ai -Kaus was the
second ki ng of the
Kayani an dynasty.
He i s known vari ousl y as
the son or the grandson
of Kai -Kobad. Unl i ke Kai -
Kobad who was pi ous and of
cl ement nature, Kai -Kaus was
i mpetuous, rather whi msi cal
and soon upon hi s ascensi on
to the throne he i nvaded
Mazenderan, a country of
Di vs. Thi s acti on was much
agai nst the counsel s of
wi se counsel ors, Tus, Gi v,
and Gurdarz. They tri ed to
di ssuade hi m from goi ng on
such a hazardous undertaki ng
but thei r cauti on fel l on the deaf
ears. The Di vs of Mazenderan
were savages i n many ways
vilhoul any iehnenenl, lul in
sci ence and i n war craft they
were far ahead of the cul tured
and pol i shed Persi ans. It was
l ate i n the day when Kai -Kaus
wi th hi s army neared the ci ty
of Mazenderan. He camped
for the ni ght on the pl ai ns on
the outski rts of the ci ty. He
vas conhdenl of capluiing lhe
ci ty the next day. That ni ght
the Whi te Demon, Di v-i -Sapi d
who had been summoned by
the ki ng of Mazenderan to hi s
ai d, threw a bl anket of pi tch
dark smoke and rai ned down
showers of bri cks and stones.
Kai -Kaus and a majori ty of
hi s sol di ers were stuck wi th
bl i ndness.
Arzang, a Di v l eader
captured Kai -Kaus - bound
hi m and hi s sol di ers i n chai ns
and tri umphantl y marched
them to the ci ty of Mazenderan
and del i vered them to the ki ng
who had them thrown i n the
dungeons.
When the fai thful al l y of
Kai -Kaus, Zal l earnt of the
pl i ght of the Persi an ki ng, he
i nstructed hi s son Rustom,
the greatest pal adi n the worl d
has ever seen, to proceed
i mmedi atel y to Mazenderan
to l i berate Kai -Kaus and hi s
men.
Rustom donned Babre-
Byan, hi s armour, and wel l -
armed he set out on hi s fai thful
steed Raki sh. The ordi nary
route, l ong but safe, whi ch
had been taken by Kai -Kaus
and hi s army. It had taken
them si x l ong months to reach
Mazenderan. Rustom took
a much shorter but tortuous
and extremel y dangerous
route whi ch he was abl e to
traverse i n just two weeks.
He had to pass through Haft
Khan, seven fri ghtful stages
of the journey. He overcame
al l the peri l s on the way.
He destroyed al l the wi l d
creatures, feroci ous beasts and
demons that came hi s way. He
encountered Arzang. He tore
Aoff hi s head from hi s body.
Fi nal l y, at the seventh stage he
came face to face the Sapi d Di v
who confronted hi m. He l i fted
the whi te demon and dashed
hi m to the ground wi th such a
force that hi s huge body was
shattered and he di ed. Rustom
prayed to God for granti ng
hi m thi s vi ctory. James
Alkinson (lhe hisl peison
to transl ate Shahnameh i nto

descri bes thi s scene thus..
Oer him who

Nobl y
hi s pri soned ki ng to free,
Heaven wi l l

And
crown hi s arms wi th vi ctory.
Thi s deadl y combat between
Rustom and the Di v-i -Sapi d
has been depi cted by many
Persi an arti sts and scul ptors.
Vi ctori ous Rustom al so
cured the bl i ndness that had
affected the eyes of Kai -Kaus
and hi s sol di ers by appl yi ng

Whi te Demon to thei r eyes.
Rustom turned the
catastrophi c defeat i nto a
gl ori ous vi ctory for Kai -Kaus.
Encouraged by the vi ctory
the i mpetuous Ki ng Kai -
Kaus l ed an expedi ti on to
Berber whose stubborn and
rebel l i ous ki ng had refused to
pay hi m homage and brought
hi m under subjugati on. Thus,
encouraged by yet another
vi ctory he then l ed hi s army
agai nst Hamavaran (Yemen),
Mi sr (Egypt), and Sham
(Syri a) who had formed an
al l i ed force agai nst hi m. He
defeated them and reduced
them to Submi ssi on. Kai -Kaus
havi ng l earnt that the Shah of
Hamavaran had a beauti ful
daughter Sodaba, asked for
her hand i n marri age. The
Shah very rel uctantl y had to
agree to the uni on and Sodaba
became the Queen consort
of the Irani an monarch. The
Shah of Hamavaran was a
spi teful man. A week after
thei r marri age he i nvi ted Kai
Kaus to be hi s guest. Sodaba
tri ed to di ssuade hi m from
accepti ng the i nvi tati on but to
no avai l . Kai -Kaus accepted
the i nvi tati on and set out to
the ci ty of Shah wi th great
pomp and pageantry for hi s
rendezvous wi th the Shah
of Hamavaran. The Shah of
Hamavaran had conspi red
wi th the refractory Ki ng of
Berber.
Kai -Kaus and hi s reti nue
was wayl ai d, overpowered,
overtaken and i mpri soned
i n an i mpregnabl e fortress
atop of a l ofty mountai n. The
Shah di spatched some of hi s
court l adi es to bri ng back
hi s daughter Sodaba but she
refused to be separated from
her husband and so she was
sent to the dungeon wi th Kai -
Kaus.
The ever ready angi d ever
watchful for any opportuni ty
too l ay hi s greedy hands on
Iran, Afrasi ab l earnt that the
throne of Iran was wi thout
a Ki ng. He col l ected a vast
hoard of Tartars, attacked and
secured for hi msel f the throne
of Iran.
Rustom heard of the
treachery of the Shah of
Hamavaran and the resul ti ng
capture of the Persi an
Ki ngdom by Afrasi ab. He
col l ected hi s troops rushed
across to Hamavaran by the
shoilei sea ioule in a eel of
gal l eys.
The tri pl e forces of
Hamavaran, Berber and Mi sr
were vanqui shed and thei r
chi eftai ns were captured. Ki ng
of Mi sr was cl eft from head to
wai st by just one stroke of the
sharp sword of Zawareh, a
brother of Rustom.
Seei ng the wi despread
havoc wreaked by Rustom
the wi l y Ki ng of Hamavaran
appeal ed for peace and
offered to pay tri bute and free
Kai -Kaus.

S
pi ri tual i ty i s the quest
for our true sel f, deepl y
hi dden behi nd the l ayers
of condi ti oni ng that creates
the personal i ty that we bel i eve
i s oursel ves. Creati vi ty i s the
abi l i ty to make somethi ng out
of nothi ng. Creati vi ty bri ngs
i nto bei ng that whi ch was
not. It coul d be a thought, an
i dea, a poem, a composi ti on,
a rel ati onshi p, a pai nti ng.
The co-rel ati on between the
two terms i s i nnate. Our
true sel f, the sages say, i s
di vi ne, Godl i ke. And what
i s God, i f not creati ve? Al l of
the mani fol d l i fe that we see
around us have sprung out of
the Creator and therefore our
true nature i s whol l y creati ve.
Therefore, the more we rel ease
thi s true or the real nature
of ours by freei ng i t from the
l i mi tati ons of condi ti oni ng or
sel f-i mposed bondages (such
as hatred, pri de, prejudi ces,
bi as, jeal ousl y, greed, etc.),
the greater wi l l be our cl ari ty
of vi si on to understand thi ngs
i n thei r ri ght perspecti ve. In
other words, the more we
percei ve real i ty or truth, the
cl oser we are to creati vi ty.
When your spontanei ty
and ease wi th yoursel f
incieases, you nighl hnd
yoursel f turni ng to art or
l i terature as forms of creati ve
expressi on. You wi l l be
goi ng through expansi ve
states of consci ousness and
new thoughts and i nsi ghts
wi l l spri ng up. You wi l l
understand experi enti al l y the
l aws of l i fe. Some of i ts gl ory
reveal s i tsel f. You real i ze you
have thi ngs to say and show to
the worl d. And you begi n to
create.
Unfortunatel y, our
educati onal system i s such
that i t emphasi zes l earni ng,
l ogi c and memory, at the cost
of creati vi ty and spontanei ty.
We i mbi be negati ve messages
carel essl y uttered by a parent
or a teacher. Whatever
creati vi ty that i s l eft out
of al l thi s soci al i zati on i s
channel i zed and di storted by
our prejudi ces, l i kes, di sl i kes,
needs and bel i ef systems.
Li ttl e wonder that most of us
are profoundl y uncreati ve or
creati ve onl y i n spurts or i n
certai n aspects of our l i ves.
The truth i s that our l i ves
shoul d be a testi mony of our
creati vi ty, bri ngi ng somethi ng
i nto bei ng, whether i t i s an
i nsi ght or an i nventi on, a smi l e
or a poem.
Spi ri tual i ty i ncreases our
awareness. As l ong as we are
pl unged i nto a sel f-centered
pre-occupati on wi th our
thoughts and feel i ngs, we wi l l
never ful l y experi ence l i fe. The
more we free oursel ves from
ti resome baggage of oursel ves,
the freer we are to si mpl y be.
We noti ce so much that was
once obscure. The i ncredi bl e
weal th of Nature reveal s
i tsel f and we noti ce for the
veiy hisl line, lhe avesone
i ntri cacy and desi gn behi nd
lhe neanesl ovei oi liee.
We noti ce peopl e too, and
di scern thei r secret aspi rati ons
and moti vati ons, thei r fears
and hopes, thei r essenti al
human sel ves hi dden behi nd
the masked surfaces that they
wear.
Now our i ntui ti on begi ns
to surface and reveal the
profound secrets of l i fe.
Depth enters i nto us and
enri ches our creati ve jui ces.
Anal ogi es, metaphors and
Spirituality makes us experience life at a
much deeper level. It helps to release the true nature of
ours and frees it from the limitations of conditioning.
All of this is good fodder for our creative growth.
hguies of speech cone easiIy
to us. Everythi ng that we see
i nspi res us.
Another aspect of creati vi ty
i s the abi l i ty to feel . Al l arti sts
are profoundl y emoti onal . It
i s thei r abi l i ty to be touched
and moved by the worl d that
has created the masterpi eces
that are the gl ory of manki nd.
Spi ri tual i ty i s the movement
from the head to the heart.
We become more open to
our feel i ngs and l earn to
experi ence and express them.
As our materi al needs and
desi res drop and we become
more establ i shed i n our own
sel f, we remove the shi el ds
and fronts wi th whi ch we
faced the worl d and become
more vul nerabl e and open to
the worl d around us. Al l of
thi s makes us experi ence l i fe
at a much deeper l evel than
we permi tted oursel ves earl i er
and al l of thi s i s good fodder
for our creati ve growth. There
i s therefore much ecstasy
i nherent i n thei r creati on.
Spi ri tual i ty i s al so the way
to abundant l i fe. The more we
free oursel ves, the smoother
and sliongei is lhe ov of lhe
l i fe force wi thi n us, bri ngi ng
energy and dynami sm i n
i ts wake. We are al i ve and
charged and i n moments of
charged creati vi ty (l i ke sports
and other si mi l ar acti vi ti es),
parti ci pants experi ence a
changed state of consci ousness
i n whi ch the doi ng i s effortl ess.
To concl ude I wi l l say
that spi ri tual i ty cal l s for
reori entati on of the mi nd and
the heart. It i s transformati on
of the sel f to i ts true nature free
from sel f-i mposed bondages.
It i s an endl ess process of
soul s search for Di vi ne
Wi sdom through a seri es of
awakeni ngs to real i ti es. Our
creati ve expressi ons are a
natural corol l ary. Thi s i s a l ong
process extendi ng perhaps to
several i ncarnati ons; but, as
we come cl oser to percei vi ng
real i ty or truth, our creati vi ty
wi l l grow steadi l y and
inhnileIy vilh sinceie and
sustai ned practi ce.
Q. How does such
a naughty boy l i ke
Burzi n grow up to be a
good Dasturj i ?
A. Dear Di kri , the
process that a young
man goes through from
bei ng a young Parsi to
bei ng a ful l y mature Pri est i s not a one day ceremony. It takes
years of l earni ng and wi sdom to grow i nto that rol e.
Burzi n comes from a Pri estl y fami l y. That means at l east one
person. hi s father, grand father, great grandfather or great
great grandfather was a Dasturji . Onl y because of that he too
has the pri vi l ege to become a Pri est. That i s to say at l east 1
Pri est every 5 generati ons keeps a Pri estl y fami l y goi ng.
The hisl slep lovaids leconing a Iiiesl oi vhal ve caII an
Ervad/ Dastoor i s when a boy becomes a Navar. Thi s i s done
at approxi matel y 14 years of age at a ceremony. After studyi ng
hi s prayers and l earni ng under the gui dance of seni or Dasturji s
i n the Athornan or an Agi ary near home, the boys perform
speci al tasks over 29 days. Once thi s i s compl eted they are
ri ghtful l y cal l ed Navars. These ri tual s are very i nteresti ng but
I know that you are exci ted to go buy Di wal i crackers so I wi l l
tel l you about them next week.

Thou art lord of all things here,
But thou canst y.
There remains for thee to know
Things above as things below,
How the planets roll;
How the sun his light displays,
How the moon darts forth her rays,
How the night succeed the days;
What the secret cause Betrays,
And who directs the whole?
( From Atkinsons translation of
