There is something very wrong with the world that we are made to see around us. Human Society is not happy, there is
protest, discontentment, poverty, inequality, greed, corruption, Ego, Fanatics’, Agnostics’, natural calamities occurring with frightening regularity and above all Global terrorism which just does not want to call it a day.In short there is chaos everywhere. One word that can describe all this is “Qayamat”. In Jamasphi” and at many places in our Zoroastrian scriptures like“Chithrem Buyaat” prayers, it is mentioned that time is near for Shah Behram Varjawand our Saviour to come in this Qayamat and revive us and our Deen. The Saviours from other religions will also appear and will work together with a common goal for grooming mankind and his spiritual revival.

Today every one wants to die a Martyr's death for Religion, but no body wants to live for the sake of true teachings of Religion. It goes without a doubt that we have let go the true kernel of Mysticism in religion and embraced only the outer shell of a glossy show of Religion. We forget that Religion is not show business but it is a way of living. Your Left hand should not be able to know what Tarikats your right hand is practicing.

The Western Astrology call this as Aquarian age and phenomenon that we see today are occuring with lightening quickness. For we never knew that Communist USSR will disintegrate one day and fragment into many small nations, that Germany will one day be united, the revolution in Egypt, Syria, the fall of dictators, and China a sleeping giant awakening to technological boom are all an indicator that we are very much in this Aquarian age. The transition from the Age of Pisces to Aquarian Age is already taking its toll till we roll into Age of peace and calm. We are looking forward to being Optimistic and not being fatally Pessimists. Please see the link provided:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Aquarius

More than 100 years before in past when faith was at its lowest Nadir in our community without caring for deep religious significance when there was idle talks about futility of our time tested customs like Dokhmenashini, Rituals, Sudreh Kusti being only a symbol, Avesta Manthra prayers being considered as waste of time, faulty myopic thinking that offerings of sandalwood to Atash Padshah being waste of sound monetary resources which could have been better utilized for betterment of our community, lack of faith was the reason behind these ignorance’s. Ignorance coupled with arrogance was, and still is the main reason stymieing our spiritual progress.

The Zoroastrian hidden Masters in Demavand who are very much concerned about our community’s spiritual progress saw the need of sending a forerunner before the advent of Shah Behram Varjawand Saheb, and they chose Behramshah Nawroji Shroff whom his followers lovingly call him as Ustad Saheb. He brought amongst us Zoroastrian Mysticism called as Zarathosti Ilme-Khshnoom.

The word Khshnoom can be found even in our scriptures, so it is not something alien that is thrust on us. It is the revival of the lost knowledge called as Ilme-Khshnoom that our forefathers had with them that kept the flame of faith burning in their hearts, that Ustad saheb brought for us. The literature is penned down by his chosen and authorized disciples late Dr. Saheb Faramroze Sohrabji Chiniwala, and Late Jehangirji S. Chinwala.

Late Ervad Phiroze Shapurji Masani had for so many years maintained his publication “Frashogard” all under guidance of Ustad Saheb. Today we see that day by day our faith is again going downhill. The need of Saviour can only be felt when all seems to be lost towards Traditional cause. It is to rekindle that hope and faith and iron out unwarranted fear of our religion dying a premature death that this Blog will be looking forward to. The aim for starting this Blog is to translate the majority of Khshnoom literature that is in Gujarati writings of Late Chiniwala brothers and Late Phiroze Masani for the benefit of those genuinely interested in Zoroastrian Mysticism .

When there is too much of chaos nature allows it only up to a certain threshold limit, once it crosses the limits it puts a
full stop to it, for nature has its own ways of bringing Order out of Chaos.

So in mean time what are we Zarathosti Bastekustian supposed to do that will hasten the advent of Shah Behram Varjawand Saheb ? Are we supposed to look skywards and wait for him eternally ? His advent will much depend upon us also.

In nature there is a law of “Supply and Demand”. If the demand is there, supply is guaranteed. In Bible it is said that "Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you will find it, knock and the doors will open to you." ….. Mathew 7:7 Niv. Unfortunately the much needed knock never seems to happen and everybody is busy enjoying their fun filled moments and warns us to keep off limits of their rights and Freedom. But they seem to forget that behind every right that one asks for, there is a responsibility which is conveniently forgotten.

"RTI" also known as "Right to information"is blatantly misused in today's world of so called Freedom . Some want Freedom to enjoy whatever is appealing to them, but is considered as Taboo in Society. Not before all these false ideology will be swept away by fury of nature and realization of folly will dawn naturally aftermath,nevertheless too late by then, but the road will be paved for introducing Shah Behram Varjawand to the world.

In middle of face-off between two warring sides and Chaos, we will come to know the time of Varjawand Saheb's arrival automatically. As a Mother knows intuitively the time of delivery of the baby, we will feel the desperate pangs of labour like a Mother feels before her delivery.

Right now only a few are longing for his arrival but just as "A lone sparrow does not herald a spring" similarly one requires a collective thought force to set everything in motion. For that I had started a short exercise every 7.30 a.m. in morning but unfortunately we don’t seem to realize its importance. Till we are all vibrating with one frequency, other word is called as Hum Mithra, Varjawand Saheb’s advent will be a distant dream only. The exercise is as under to be followed by a Mithra every 7 a.m. or around that time frame. No need to be very rigid about time. The Mithra is as under:-

What is Hum Mithra:-

Man proposes and God disposes. Hence we requires Dadar Ahura Mazda’s blessings all the time for success and that is known as “Daham Afriti”. Without it we cannot move forward even an inch. But for his Daham Afriti to be assessable to us we require to think with one vibration in Hamoi, only then can we succeed in our purpose. Dadar Ahura Mazda is not happy when there is infighting so how can we receive his Daham Afreeti. This one thought force having selfless single pure vibration is known as Hum Mithra. The Law of cause and effect governs this universe so whatever incidents we see bad or good its cause has to be there. Every action has its reaction. The bad precedent that we are facing now after a crematorium is announced in Worli where innocent public are falling prey to it. Those encouraging Aramgah and such ashmogi are themselves the victims of their own deeds so we have to pity them instead of contempt for them and a calming thought has to be passed by us at a particular time collectively. If love is the language of angels then why should we be harsh to even our so called enemies. For in life there are no enemies, and everything is Karmic. The Bhali Dua is as under:-

Bhali Dua at 0730 am every morning:-

2 Yatha , 1 Ashem Vohu.

Those ignorant brothers and sisters opposing our age old customs of Dokhmenashini and believe in universality of our religion by inviting all to our holy places and Iranshah need our pity and not contempt for they are bitten by the demon of ignorance and arrogance. O Paak Dadar Ahura Mazda shower your choicest blessings upon them that they regain their lost faith and begin realizing that the true nature of religion is humility.

"Let no harm come upon the Traditional Zoroastrian flag and its values which are so dear to us. Let the reformists agenda and their nefarious plans never succeed. Let no harm befall upon Pavmahal of India that is - our Iranshah of Udwada and all Atash Behram, Atash Adran and Dadgah of India. Let not one day pass without Atash Parasti and our reverence towards Holy consecrated Fire(Pavmahal),Dokhmas, Sudreh Kusti, Mathravani which acts as a weapon to thwart evil. Enable us to protect our racial traits of Parsi Panu through Boonak Pasbani. Enable us to maintain our true “Zarathosti Khandani” by not intermarrying and continue with our Aryan Lineage intact. May the advent of Shah Behram Varjawand come soon, and before him may his forerunners arrive at the earliest and grant us spiritual strength to withstand evil around us. Let my Kusti Padiav and my Tarikats be helpful to nature to fight for the cause of righteousness against the evil negative forces of Drujis, and may it protect us all Zarathustis and entire humanity who live by their religion and its tenets. "Phiroj baad Khureh avizeh Vehdin e Mazdiyasnan" - Let the Khoreh of Mazdiyasni Zarathosti deen protect its faithful followers"

1 Yatha, 2 Ashem Vohu

Caution to Parsi Zarathustis regarding meddling with Jinn and Pari-Part 1




Jinn is male Arvahi and Pari is female Arvahi, and it is Taboo for us Parsi Zoroastrians to meddle with them or invoking Pariamai nor take part in Séance or Ouija Board activity.

Reference No.1 regarding Pari/Daev being carrier of Asere Tariki force can be found in Fravadin yasht Kardo 25 Para 104 starting with “ Hushyothanahe Frashoshstrayanahe ashono fravashim yazmaideh ……………..Paitishtateh aghanamcha khafnam, aganamcha daesanam, aghanamcha aoefranam, aghanamcha pairikanam.”

The last few words meaning:- opposing Tariki which has connection with evil, and which is so rampant in night during our sleep with bad dreams induced by evil and ugly elementals of Pari, the benevolent Fravashi of Vohunemangah who gives a befitting reply and breaks all evil spells, with that benevolent Fravashi I bow down and try to attune with you.

Reference:- Fravadin Yasht ni Tavil Page 143- 144 Fasli Farvardegan Silver jubilee Frashogard Memorial Volume.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More Reference 2:- regarding taboo for Bastekustian Zarathostis in having contact with Jinn, Pari Arvahi:-

“Yo yajaiteh havare yat ameshem raem aurvataspem, Paitishtateh temangam, paitishtate temaschithranam Daevanam Paitishtateh tayunamcha hajashnam, Paitishtateh yatunamcha Pairikanamcha ……………….yo yjaiteh havare yat ameshem raem aurvataspem”.

Opposing forces of darkness or “Tamas Chithra” evil seeds that will only give in return sorrow and spread destruction through materialistic knowledge. “Havare Khshaeta” or power of Sun that spreads light and as is mentioned in Khorshed Niyaesh, “Ahu Chithra” who fight selflessly against evil selfish forces. Those who are opposite of Gospandi or selfless forces who spread havoc in the world with their evil intent who as a thief enter through back door “tayunamcha hajashnam” in our day to day affairs and who instigate weak willed humans to commit sins, havare Khsaheta who fight against those dark forces of Pari “Pairikanamcha” ( Bad evil arvahi forces) through sorcery “yatunamcha” who only spread death and destruction are been taken care of benevolent forces of Sun “ameshem raem aurvataspem” and its antiseptic rays in day time.

Reference:- Dr saheb F.S. Chiniwala’s “Khordeh Avesta Ba Khshnoom” Page 219-220 Khorshed Niyaesh Tavil Para 14th
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are quite a few references in Khordeh Avesta that declare Pari (Pairika) as evil sprites (sorceresses, witches) and explain how the various Yazats smite these evil entities.

This should be a strong indication for all faithful Zarthustis not to get misled by the ongoing propaganda being shared on WhatsApp, emails, social media etc.

Below are some references from Khordeh Avesta (that could find by searching for the word "pairika" in the pdf version of Kangaji's Khordeh Avesta) that warn us against encouraging such non-zoroastrian practices i.e. having contact with Pariamai to seek their favours etc..

1. Hormuzd Khodae prayer.

2. Khorshed Nyaish: Para 14.

3. Hormuzd Yasht: Para 5, Para 10.

4. Ardibehest Yasht: Para 6.

5. Tir Yasht: Karda 5 (para 8), Karda 6 (para 12), Karda 10 (para 39), Karda 13 (para 44), Karda 16 (para 51, para 53, para 55). Karda 16 specifically talks about an evil sprite (pari) named "duzyairya" and how Tir Yazad binds this Pari.

6. Sarosh Yasht Hadokht: Karda 1 (para 6)

7. FarvardinYasht: Karda 25 (para 104), Karda 28 (para 135)

8. Behram Yasht: Karda 1 (para 4), Karda 21 (para 62)

9. Hom Yasht (large): Karda 1 (para 18), Niran of Hom Yasht

10. Nirang of Vanant Yasht

11. Khordad Yasht: Para 3

12. Khorshed Yasht: Para 4
