Dastur Dinyar

(Original written in Gujarati in Dini Avaz Volume 9 No 2 March - April 1984 page 26)

(This article had appeared in Frashogard magazine 1926 – Editor Late Ervad Phiroze Shapurji Masani. In it the reader will get a good idea as to how Dastur Dinyar was instrumental in establishing the new Hashemi religion of Islam. Dastur Dinyar played a pivotal role and actually laid foundation stone before the religion of Islam was known to the world. And he played that role with many sacrifices pertaining and as applicable to his own personal Keshash which also brought to the forefront the role that Mazdiyasni Daen always plays and is involved when a new religion is established.)

Dinyar Saheb belonged to status of Dasturan Dastur during the reigns of Sassanian empire. There were many like him who also belonged to the great Sassanian Empire. Dastur Dinyar was very much aware of the Tavils of ilme-kshnoom that can unlock the mystic Ramz or coded meanings of Avesta. One very important thing to be noted here is that it was in Dastur Dinyar's destiny to lead many forerunners and those responsible in establishing Islam and to bring them in contact with the mother nature and towards omnipotent God. Mazdayasni Daen also played a very important role in establishing Christian religion and the contact between Christ and four Magians who had come to visit them is a glaring example of the role that Mazdayasni daen plays in establishing other Deens.

As it was the custom and age old traditional followed since ages the court was summoned by the royalty or the Shahi Durbar where all wise men who were ilamdar and amaldar met, discussed and exchanged philosophy with each other with no differentiation of Caste and Colour. Dastur Dinyar was present in one of these gathering of Court or "Mijlas". Dastur Dinyar was awarded the title of Dasturan Dastur during the Reign of Shah Nosherwan-e-Adil. He was steeped in highest order of ilam and Amal and was much acclaimed in Iran of those days. He lead a very pious and Tarikaat Baaj life like a true Athravan and always remained in true Mithra of nature in his prayers. Life of such high souls are extraordinary that cannot be equated to life lead by any ordinary human. We can realize his greatness only when we know that he used to be in contact and talked with a mystic bird known as "Ud-Ud". He used to be deeply entrenched and in unision with God and his nature.

His dwelling place was also worth noting and mentioning here that it had several doors and entrances kept is special order that he only understood it correctly. In short he was no ordinary human and beyond compare that our thoughts cannot grasp his magnamity. He lived in the times of Nosherwan Shahenshah who was known in all four corners of the world at that time. The Shahenshah in his court used to organize international
meetings or "Mijlas" of the wise man known as the "Ulmas". In one of these Mijlas Dastur Dinyar was present. In those days Dasturan Dastur always used to sit in throne made up of solid Gold and that too always on the right side of the Shahenshah, such was the honour given to him. In such a meeting one of wise man who was amaldar himself asked a question in the Mijlas. The Shahenshah passed on the question to Dasturan Dastur Dinyar which had to be answered by him. Dastur Dinyar was taken aback for a moment by the bluntness of the question and was reticent in disclosing the answer in the court. But the curiousity of the Shahenshah was aroused further and he wanted to know the answer. In that Court another wise man known as BuzurchMeher was also present who was Vazir of Shahenshah Nosherwan-e- Adil. BuzurchMeher hinted to Dastur Dinyar that he should answer the question keeping in mind the safety of Zarathosti deen and its followers the people of the book as paramount. Dastur Dinyar with his developed senses became aware that he will be catching up his karma from now and from this very situations he will be excommunicated and exiled from his own country. He was very much aware that due to the new religion that is destined to arise in very near future Iran and Zarathostis will have to suffer much and he will be instrumental in bringing this new religion into existence by giving Amal to the chosen few. Buzurch Meher too was very much aware of future enfoldments and hence his cautioning to Dastur Dinyar.

Dastur Dinyar requested few days to solve the riddle and entered into Meditative mood very much concerned and worried to solve this riddle. Dastur Dinyar's mother noticed the anxiety writ on his face and willingly decided to help him out by keeping a watch at the entrance of his Meditation room so that he wont be disturbed in his meditation. Dastur Dinyar was in Meditation and his Mother keeping a watch outside his room but Dastur Dinyar was disturbed from his mediation by a Durvesh who sneaked inside without the knowledge of his mother. Dastur Dinyar was disturbed by this intrusion and reprimanded his Mother in not taking care of his given instructions. His Mother was unable to understand as to how Dervesh managed to sneak inside in spite of her keeping guard at the entrance. The real “Ramz” or hidden meaning was that the Hashemi Era had managed to sneak in the form of a Dervesh without knowledge of Mother. The Darvesh managed to distract Dastur Dinyar three times even though he being of a stature of an Abed. He got annoyed and threw upon his mother a pen. His mother was taken aback by the sudden outburst and died of shock. Dastur Dinyar immediately realized his folly that the Talisman had worked on the riddle query and he got cornered in the process. He immediately realized that this Darvesh was non other than Hashemi Zamanah, and he remembered the wise words and caution given by BuzurchMeher to him. As per the strict laws of the land he was exiled away from his town on horse back towards Arbastan. He with a very heavy heart repented for his folly and with thousands of thoughts running in his mind was heart broken and asked for forgiveness from his Keshash. Sarosh yazad gave his appearance and directed him to a particular direction where he will encounter a Nomadic tribe and he will meet a person with particular physiognomic marks over his body. Dastur Dinyar was instructed by Sarosh Yazad to revive by Amal that particular Person who will in near future be capable of establishing Islam the new religion. As instructed by Sarosh yazad, Dastur Dinyar met that particular person. The Nomadic tribe was taken aback with the noble features of Abed Saheb Dastur Dinyar which automatically commanded respect and bowed down unto him.




The topic of Amal is a very sensitive matter, and Dastur Saheb in his last days in Iran left with a heart broken. Hashemi zamanah played havoc with the destiny keshash of Dastur Dinyar and he was unable to do many things as he wished it to be done. Today many of ignorant call him as a Renegade priest who was exiled which does not give much credence to his high stature that he really deserved so.

Such matters are better if left closed because if Dastur Dinyar was unable to maintain himself against Hashemi zamanah than who are we puny Zarathosti Dravands, who cannot withstand Hashemi zamanah at all. Such is called as Talesam-e Haft Rang Zamanah or Talisman of 7 moving skies or colours of destiny .

2 Yatha Ahu Vairyo, 1 Ashem Vohu

"Let no harm come upon the Traditional Zoroastrian flag and its values which are so dear to us. Let the reformists agenda never suceed and their nefarious plans be upturned. Let no harm befall upon Pavmahal of India that is - our Iranshah of Udwada and all Atash Behram, Atash adaran and dagah of India. The things that we value most like Holy consecrated Fire(Pavmahal), Dokhmas, Sudreh Kusti which acts as a weapon to thwart evil, and let us protect our racial traits of Parsi panu through Boonak Pasbani by not marrying outside. That is how we will be able to maintain our true Zarathosti Khandani. Let the advent of Shah Behram Varjawand and his fore runners come soon and protect us from this mess. 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 religion and its tenets"
