Mankind and his Cosmic Tryst with other Worlds.- The Cosmo-genesis - Part 4

Editor’s Note:-

Take some time off, sit quietly and find out what your role in life is and what your life requires from you. Are you giving what your life is asking for ? Try to find answer to it. And when you find it you will forget yourself and know yourself. It is very important to know yourself. We need to answer the three perennial questions which can remove all cobwebs of doubt from our mind. The questions are:-
1) Who am I?
2) Where I have come from?
3) Where I have to go to?
Contemplate on it, and ask yourselves why I am going through all this grilling, and why has this universe made for and why I am here. Why is there so much suffering, hardships, inequality? Why some are living with all luxuries while some have to earn his living the hard way and made accountable for every penny. The answers are not simple, and you are not going to get it immediately. For that we have to study Cosmo genesis. ! Now anyone can complain that you are not making it easy for us! As it is one is undergoing rat race every day going to work and here I am telling you to study Cosmo genesis which is abstract and even more difficult than obtaining answers to the above three questions. But my dear readers, if one is asking to find answers to all our problems than we have to really work for it, struggle to get answers. So one must not get disheartened if we do not understand Cosmo genesis initially but have patience, and that too lots and lots of it.

This approach of leading the reader towards the answer is different from the prevailing approach of being forced to believe what you don’t want to. Divine wisdom is within us and it is we who will answer all our questions. No one else !

Few points to ponder upon below:-

1)Those who are wobbly on faith saying that our din is sinking so let us add people from other faith and convert them or take within our fold the intermarried children should study Pre- Cosmo genesis and Cosmo genesis first and learn that there is classification of souls in nature and there are no shortcuts. Only those having no faith will talk like that, for our Prophet was knower of 7 Kaal, whereas there are those in other religion who are knowers of three Kaal and are called as “Trikaal Gyani”. Our Prophet and his disciple Jamasp can see any Kaal with the help of “Jame Jahnumah”= The Mystic wine glass or what we read in fairy tales as Crystal Ball. So our prophet is the most exalted “Seer” who can see future till the end, and our religion will last till end and we have no reasons to doubt him.

2)Again my advice to readers not to listen to rumour mongers who say that times are bad so let us reform the religion. We should first study Zarvaneh Daregokhadat Tavil and know that time is cyclic, and it has its own ups and down. History repeats and we are put in same conditions till we own up our karma and are ready to give its own dues. Today we experience same problems as faced before downfall of Persian Empire. It is we who requires to change and not the religion itself to suit our lifestyle.

3)Those who have reservation in believing the part played by Gehnamino or Angramino in plan of Cosmo genesis and doubt about the origin of evil and Omnipotence of God himself, their arguments are aimless, pointless, mere waste of time and they should study the under mentioned Monajat written by Dastur Darab Mahiyar where he says that not all mysteries can be known to us. “Ahu” who is also called as “Shaedan-Shaed”= mysterious truth hidden in darkness, the real truth about HIM can be known to us in the end only.

I will make it even easier for dear readers and explain like a story narrated. The under mentioned article written by Ervad K. N. Dastoor now known as Vada Dastoorji MeherjiRana and is taken from old Parsee Avaz. Reference:- Parsee Avaz dated 16.12.1973 Volume 2, issue 24 Page 1 onwards.

Mankind and his Cosmic Tryst with other Worlds.- Part 4
Cosmo genesis:-

To tell Cosmo genesis in form of story narration is like going back to school. But we are students till the end and we learn our lessons well, life teaches us. Time is a good teacher, and the experiences we had in life we cherish it, or try to forget it if they are unpleasant. Time helps us to forget the bad experience but lessons we do learn it anyway.
The under mentioned story will be different from other stories narrated. It is no ordinary story, but in fact is truth that exists in nature and we have to understand it with an open mind. But these truths are like faint lines and I have to shape it in form of story, which is no easy task.
Pre Cosmo genesis:-

Ahu Anamathwa or “Ahu” who is impersonal God who is unthinkable, is formless, nameless, nor of any shape who we cannot even imagine, exists, is there. He is just there, how and where he has come from we do not know. Now what kind of beginning of this story is ? Normally a story goes like once upon a time there was a king and queen living happily, but over here we have made a beginning of a story from something very abstract who does not have any name or shape. If we write that once upon a time lived Ahu and existed is a wrong conjecture. Over here time did not exist. He did not have tense any past, present, future before him or after him. He just existed and was there. To be more technically correct he cannot be described but we can just say that “He is there”, or “IT IS”. He is also called as “Shaedan Shaed”= Darkness, that is lustre of lustres but hidden in tranquil sea of Darkness, who is shoreless and motionless. This is first phase of Ahu which is motionless. In the second phase there is some motion in Ahu, on account of which that part assumes intense brilliancy or “Khshaeta”. (Editor’Note:- The word Shetan also means Dark Prince of negativity which is derivative from root of the word “Shaed”.) This brilliance in Ahu is said to have been caused by the prime most thought for the creation of Universe. As a result of this thought going on in Ahu, there rises from it an emanation caused by ejection, and is referred to in Avesta (Yasht13,14) as Khao Afrazyamna, literally meaning fountain source of eternal freshness.

Editor’s Note:- Just like in Hindu philosophy that One Supreme being is described in Sanskrit Mantra as “Om Tat Sat” meaning the “Supreme Absolute Truth” meaning “All that is”. As per Wikipedia it says:- 'Om Tat Sat' has no physical component. It is purely spiritual and beyond. It starts from the most primordial spiritual form Om and leads to the ultimate Impersonal God, the Formless One (Nirakar Braham), Non dualistic Existence, “Sat”. Wikipedia further says that “Successful grasping and revealing this mantra needs an initiation by a Sadguru (Spiritual Master) who has attained it.” Meaning it is purely subject of Sezda and only an Ustad or Guru can make us visualize it, that is if we are in his good books and he grant us the special favour.

This is not like an ordinary story, but here we are unable to describe the subject which has no name, no form and is very abstract. We go further and say that from that original supreme formless one the “Ahu” which we can say is impersonal God emanates Personal God which we will call as “Ahurmazda”. HE has name, shape and can be referred as Unique One and only one, because that Number “One” is conglomeration of all numbers in it. He is the origin from all numbers emanates and is the keeper of Numbers. All this is very abstract and has to be studied with faith and patience. So naturally a question will arise to the reader about its source of origin, meaning from where has Ahuramazda come from. “Niru” is streak originated in “Ahu Anamathva” = without any label or name, which is also called as impersonal God. Ahu is so purity perfect that the universe, in which there is both Good and evil cannot be created direct from it. “Niru” is the screen of light originating from Ahu the impersonal Godhead from which AhuraMazda has emancipated. Again Niru is abstract which is difficult to imagine.
What is narrated here in form of story is only part of truths that exists in the multi-dimensional Universe and not merely time pass. Many a times the narrator of the story skips many details of the story and put forth the main points to simplify it. Such is the case over here and many a details we will have to assume it in good faith for it is far beyond the understanding of our three dimensional mind. The Journey undertaken by Ruvan is a long one, and its end will only come at the fag end of far off event known as Frashogard. It will be then that the actual Cosmic Drama will be fully understood by us. Till that time we have to assume it in good faith and move ahead. Consequently, even the high immortal existences like Yazata or Angels cannot see Ahu through Niru, and we mortals do not stand any chance in understanding “Ahu”. This fact has been stated by Dastur Darab Mahiyar in his Monajat; 15,29 as under:-

“Na binad Kashaz soorato, rango, fam,
Ne neez een fereshteh sioseh tamam.”

Translation:- Not only human beings, but none of all the 33 Fereshteh(angels) can see HIS face or shape or Colour.

Ordinarily “Niru” means strength or power. But technically it means that Niru as applied to “Anamathvao alam”, the pre-Cosmo genesis world, or the unthinkable world. Niru is mentioned in Pazand Afrin Ardafravash as Aoj, Zoar, Niru, Tagi. Niru which is the super most divine potentially that separates “Khao Afrajyamna” from Ahu the light of lights. To be more precise Niru is the screen of light between Ahu and “Khao Afrajyamna”= The Island of Inexhaustible and Evergreen Consciousness.

Now there is exchange of thoughts and question answer session going on. Niru asks as to how Ahuramazda who has form, shape, name emancipated from him ?? In reply to his question a Cosmic sound or Naad replies that O “Khao Afrajyamna”, you are the source of this Universe and there is some lacking in you which is presently in dormant stage. To alchemize it Ahuramazda or personal God needs to be emancipated from you. Thus Khao Afrajyamna himself becomes Ahuramazda. The “Naad” or Cosmic vibration that answers this question is known as Naad of “Ahunavar” or Cosmic blueprint plan of the Universe in the making.
Reference:- Manual of Khshnoom by PN Tavadia Page 95-96.

Now we proceed further that this “Khao Afrajyamna Ahuramazda” is composed of three Triads. Each Triad consists of a group of three which are technically described as under:-

First Triad:- 1) Athra 2) Niru Khadat 3) Zarvan Yavaecha Yavaetat
Second Triad:- 1) Fravashi 2) Ahunavairya 3) Stoat Yasna
Third Triad:- 1) Keherp 2) Ukhda Vacha (Fountain source head of Origin of Mathematic). 3) Aeva Ahakhshta (Power of Numbers)

Today’s science has concluded that anything can be described in Mathematical equation and numbers is the root of Mathematics.
Totally there are nine branches as we can see from above three Triads. Its description can be found from Nikiz in details and we won’t touch any of them. But we will refer to “Stoat Yasna” briefly which is important for our understanding of Cosmo genesis. The fault or the lacking for which this Universe is going to be made is concentrated in this Stoat Yasna.

Let us use our imagination to understand it. Let us Imagine a Mountain has three Rivers flowing from it. Each river has got three branches of Rivulets coming from it. These rivers flow very silently without any murmur or sound. Suddenly in Stoat Yasna which is one of the three branches of the triad there is some activity in calm flow of water.

Just as ripples are formed when a stone is dropped in very calm waters, similarly it is noticed that a small island is formed at the centre of disturbance in water. This island if carefully observed half of it shines with golden light, whereas the other half of the island is mixture of golden light which is a bit tainted with darkness or black colour. The island which is shining with golden brightness is called as “Baodangh”= Divine Wisdom, and the other half island which is mixture of golden bright colour with tinge of black streak entwined in it is called as “Ruvan”. The Ruvan which is Semi Luminous and mixture of light and darkness carries within it, and the fault which will require rectification later. That defect or fault is known as “Druj”. The machinery of nature represented by “Khao Afrajyamana Ahuramazda” will apply its resources and corrective measures will be taken later to correct this fault known as Druj entwined within Ruvan. This is manifestation and the “Origin of Evil”. The reason for Cosmo genesis and the purpose of making this Universe is to alchemize Ruvan and remove the perennial defect of “Druj” that has crept in it. The other name of “Druj or Dravao” that can fit in our sense is known as the Primeval Ego due to Primeval ignorance.

From the above mentioned three triads “Khao Afrajyamana Ahuramazda” manifests 7 Kaal as mentioned in previous part 3 of this series. This is the basis of “Origin of time” and “Zarvane Akarneh” will be running these Kaals. Let us take these 7 Kaal one by one. The first Kaal starts now.
Cosmogenesis

The first Zarvane Akarne – The Past of the Past Tense

In the first kaal that begins now Alchemy will start on the semi Luminous Orb which is mixture of golden light and dross and is known as Ruvan. The blessings of Manthra Spenta that emanates from Khao Afrajyamna descends on this semi luminous orb known as Ruvan. As a result of this blessings three fourth or 75 % of Ruvan gets separated and is reformed without any Dravao in it. This pure orb is now known as “Manthra-Spenta Ahura Ruvan”.
Further alchemy occurs on the remaining one fourth part or 25 % of Ruvan that has not refomed by applying law of decimalization called as “Daseme-Stutam” in Avesta. This original non reformed one fourth part of Ruvan is further divided into ten parts. Out of which nine parts gets reformed. Out of these nine parts that have alchemized and reformed Yazatas, Ameshaspands, Mino, Dae manifest and form Yazatic group. This occurs in first Zarvane Akarne or first Kaal.
This Cosmic Drama that unfolds in first Kaal occurs in place known as Minoi world that will be made up of two heavens (Asman) and are known as 1) Ahunavar Asman 2) Anagra Raocha Asman. The “Origin of Space” starts from here.
The nineth Asman of Ahunavar will be dwelling place of “Ahura”. So what exactly is “Ahu-ra” ? and from where did it come from ?. It is nothing else but “Ahu” who has pounded (Ra) the dross from main tainted Ruvan by using alchemical process, separated the dross and he himself dwelled in alchemized part . The dwelling place of Ahura is 9th Minoi Heaven.
(Reference:- Nikhiz 2 Page 269 kh). The dwelling place of Yazatas will be the Eight Asman known as “Anagra-Raocha”= Countless shining lights. The Divine attraction of Yazatas towards Ahura, Khao Afrajyaman and Ahu forms “Asere Roshni” currents that will be used later on by Sarosh Yazad and his 1000 channels for the making of further Cosmic world that will follow later on. Editor’s Note:- For wherever Truth is there, beauty follows. For example a Beautiful Sunrise will remind us about eternal truths hidden in bowels of Nature. But not necessarily the other way, for beauty of a fairer sex can be bewitching and is also an attraction, which can lead one astray to abscess of passions also known as “Ishq e Mizazi”, which is only personification of falsehood, and is not complete Truth, but only half the truth. So “Asere Roshni” is the effect of Yazats’ unconditional “Utuiti” “Zarzadaiti”= implicit obedience due to which there is divine attraction also called as “Ïshq e Hakiki” towards “Ahura”. So obviously there is difference between two types of “Ishq”. Now these undercurrents of Asere Roshni will act as Benedictions and henceforth be useful in running the Universe.
As mentioned above out of 10 parts 9 parts were reformed and Yazats, Ameshaspands, Mino, Dae out of it. But the remnant one part that refuses to reform has to be alchemized and needs to be taken care of now.

After the machinery of nature sets to work and alchemize on this original “one part”, half of it gets reformed. This emancipated one-half was divided into innumerable stars which dot the above mentioned two divine Asmans of Minoi world and commenced working in harmony with Yazatas, Ameshaspands. This emancipated one-half is also known as 72 dwelling place of many stars ( 72 var-na Stur) .The other half was also eager to attain holy union, which will be taken care of in second Kaal. The second Kaal starts from here now.

Mankind and his Cosmic Tryst with other Worlds.- Part 3

Editor’s Note:-

Before we discuss about Hazaras, let us have a look at what Maneckshaw Phirozshah Cooper said further about how to overcome threat of evil spirit by help of Chromopathy. Ustad Saheb Behramshah Nowroji Shroff had told to Late Maneckshah Cooper more about Chromopathy, or Light Therapy, Colour Therapy, healing properties of Sun or Solar Therapy, Oil Therapy, Mud Therapy, Astrology.

We had discussed in last part the 87th name out of 101 Dadar AhuraMazda names for relief from evil spell of a Sorcerer. Another remedy in order to have relief from evil clutches of Sprites is Indigo light and white light therapy which is best suitable as it has calming effect over mind. Besides Light Therapy, Indigo and white coloured glass bottles filled with well water which are solarized and exposed to Sun for specific time period can be taken orally and used for obtaining relief from evil spirits. ………..Reference:- Parsee Avaz dated 9.8.1953 Page 11. How to make solarized charged water and full article on Colour Therapy will be taken later on as it is a separate subject which requires separate attention altogether.

I will also do some revision of Part 2 as it after some time I am writing Part 3 in continuation. Whilst writing about Hazaras I encountered difficulty as I found it difficult to explain about Hazara without going through the basics of Cosmo genesis as everything is holistically connected. Initially I was reticent in going ahead with a topic as complex as Cosmo-genesis for reasons as below:- Firstly it is subject of Sezda and difficult to pen such abstract subject on paper , secondly many will still take it with a pinch of salt thinking it as a fairy tale, and some will find it even boring. But to really understand the whole subject and the very purpose of our existence on this earth one has to catch hold of the bull by his horns. Hence I have made feeble attempt and gone ahead with the explanation in whatever way I can.

Also the Epoch time of Zarvan as explained in our scriptures can be related mathematically to Yugas as explained in Hindu Scriptures which will be taken care of later.

Mankind and his Cosmic Tryst with other Worlds.- Part 3
As per explanation in ilme-khshnoom given by Ustad Saheb Behramshah Shroff, Zarathosti Deen has explained in Bundahesh, can also can be known as Zoroastrian Cosmology or “Shrusti Rachna”, there is mention of 12 Hazara. Hazara should not be taken literally as thousand years or as 12 x 1,000 years. The word Hazara is used in coded form and in Pahalvi it is known as “Hazangrogzim”. Now why in Coded form and not written in comprehensive manner is million dollar question, and we have to go back to past history.

Avesta, Ancient Pahalvi and Modern Pahalvi


Avesta is Manthra and Yasna combined in form of spiritual prescriptions for all maladies and which was never a spoken language, with mysterious combination and to unravel it one requires knowledge of Stoat Yasna, which nobody has in today’s living world we live in. That is why in Pazend “Afrin e Ardafravash” Avesta is known as “Chun andar avesta Garonamanem”= Avesta is medium for one to reach Garonaman. But the ancient Pahalvi language was such that Avesta could be decoded very easily, but is lost today and not known to us. Today the Pahalvi Language that we know of is a shadow of ancient Pahalvi Language or chip off old block and is itself written in coded form and the efforts made by today’s scholars in deciphering today’s Pahalvi that we know of is not strong and competent enough to unearth the mysteries hidden in Avesta also known as “Razengha”= hidden. It’s like trying to feel the trunk, tail, ears and feet of an elephant blindfolded in the complete darkness with the intention of knowing what is in grasp of the hand. Today’s Pahalvi is written in coded form mainly because of several reasons. Iran going in hands of Arabs and Islamic prosecution of Ancient Persia was one of the reason, and also due to fear of key literature going into wrong hands. Also they had to be alert of converted Zoroastrians who had by now turned hostile towards their own religion and could be easily labelled as traitors or deen dushman. All this can be equated to America’s well found fear of Nuclear arsenal going into wrong hands of Jihadists, and their feeble efforts in neutralizing the stockpile. Those Traitors converted Zoroastrians apparently widened the gaping holes in Modern Pahalvi and further made Pahalvi incomprehensible. On the other hand the Islamic zealots sensing rift in the community sided with the converts with intention of widened those gaps. The loopholes laid down by converted Zoroastrians, and zealots in deciphering Modern Pahalvi are still very much apparent and the western scholars do get tripped on it whilst deciphering Modern Pahalvi. The most glaring example of confusion in today’s western world in deciphering Pahalvi is word known as Hazara which is taken as literally meaning “Thousand year period” is actually a misnomer merely to misguide the Deen Dushman “Asmogh” and the zealots of the real meaning behind it. But the word Hazara has deep profound meaning embedded in it, and is explained below.
What is Time or “Zarvan”:-


Time is said to be the king or Padshah who demands respect, that is why in “Afrin Ba Name Burzogan” the blessings or Benedictions intertwined in the prayers goes as under:-
You become as sweet as Rain water, you become as vigilant and observant like Sun or Khurshed who sees with many eyes, you become as auspicious like Zarthosht, you lead a long life like Zarvan who is king or Padshah of time, you become as fruitful like Spendarmard or Armaity the mother Earth which bears fruits from the seeds…………..
Rad Bedchun Tishtar, Charva bedchun varan, Veena Bedchun Khurshed, Vesh kerfeh bedchun Zarthosht, Der-jivashni bedchun Zarvan Padshah, baro-mand bedchun spendarmard zamin……………………….

Reference:- Pazand Bhantar Series No 1 By Late Ervad Phiroze Shapurji Masani Page 22

In Gujarati there is a saying as “Samay balwan che; insan nahi” meaning Time is mightier than mankind. Even a mighty Emperor has to bow down before time as is amply seen in Farsi couplet below:-

Masafeh dow khushru dar aan marz bud;
kaz Asubeh shaan kuh dar larz bud.

Translation:-
On this earth there was a fierce battle between two(dow) powerful Padshahs(Khushru)
Who were so powerful that Mountains(Kuh) trembled before them.

Hanuz ar bejuiand zan khusruaan;
tavan yaftan dar Zamin Ostakhan.

Translation:-
If you want to meet those mighty warriors(Khushruaan) even now;
You can find their bones(Ostakhan) buried in this mother earth(Zamin).

Duniya Khaabist kasha dam tabir Ast;
Saideh ajal ast agar jawan va pir ast.

Translation:-
This Universe(Duniya) that we live in is like a dream(Khaabist) whose end result is destruction;
Where young (jawan) and old (pir) will all finally meet the same fate of death in the end

Ham Rueh zamin pur ast va hum zireh zamin;
In safeh kakh har daor va tasvir ast.

Translation:-
On the surface of this earth there are layers upon layer below;
Each layer(Khakh) representing blueprint or an image(Tasvir) of era or Civilization that once upon a time existed.

In Pahalvi, Dinkard it is said that at the end of 12 Hazara this earth will receive its Salvation or “Frashogard”. In Avesta time is taken as “Zarvan”. Time and space is merged in “Hasti” the immortal world, everything is in unison hence “Hamoi” is denoted by Unity or Numerical figure of “One”. When Time and space is separated then there is “disunity” which is marked as beginning of Nisti world destined to be destroyed in end, also called as mortal world. Nisti is not to remain so as permanent and there is beginning and end of it. This Disunity or duality(numerically denoted by No.2) is shortcoming which requires to be transmuted to Unity. This work is done by Zarvan or Time. The end of Nisti will herald “Frashogard”, and Nisti will merge with Hasti. Hence Time as a measure is necessary for Salvation.
For a Universe to function, energy is required which is given by Firey energy. “Adar Burzin Meher” is Atash or firey energy prevalent in Hasti. Time and space which is united in Hasti is now being separated by “Adare MinoKarko” atash energy, and the place where it gets separated is called as “Miswane Gatu e Awal”. So Miswane Gatu e Awwal is place between Hasti and Nisti. Miswan= inbetween, Gatu=place. This whole thing is encompassed by vast Sea of “Zareh Vourukush”. It is through this Sea of Zareh Vourukush that Nisti world gets emancipated, and Time and space is set free from one another.

…………..Reference:- Khordeh Avesta Ba Khshnoom by Dr F.S. Chiniwala Page 103 -104

“Zarvan” in Avesta are of different types known as below:- 1) Zarvane Akarneh 2) Zarvaneh Daregokhadateh 3) Zarvaneh Thwashe Khadateh. In Pahalvi Hazara is called as “Hazangrogzim” which is used to measure the immeasurable or mind boggling expanse of time. Zarvaneh Daregokhadateh or in short “ZDK” is time frame of 81,000 years which is life span of this earth apparent to us. Meaning at the end of every ZDK there is water deluge as describe in Noah’s Arch which is imminent due to Sins of humans going out of proportion where those who are God fearing and leading a pious life are lead on higher planes known as “Pamar” making them ready for next ZDK. In between the beginning of every ZDK and the end of it is time frame of 20,000 to 25,000 years period which allows waters to recede making this earth again ready for habitation. Just as a new Merchandise is made ready with nice wrapping and packing similarly a brand new earth is ready for the next ZDK to begin with. Man descends from “Pamar” and inhabits this earth again. Pamar is high and Talismanic safe place also known as “Aiwi Thrishwa” in Avesta or one third of this earth free from outer pollution. Mind boggling ZDK are required for perfection and that is what “Zarvan” does and plays its part in process of Salvation.
Just as Earth is measured in time cycle of ZDK, similarly the time cycle of man’s birth and death is measured and is known as “Zarvaneh Thwashe Khadateh” in Avesta or in short “ZTK”. The salvation of man and earth is co-relevant and interdependent, because this earth is Tailor made for Salvation of humanity. That is the purpose of us humans. We are borne so that we become perfect.
This Hazara are of 12 in number. Why twelve and not of any number is explained below:- The number 12 as per numerology is denoted as 1+2 =3. The number three is denoted as this universe is made for man, God has made Adam and to reach out for God is our goal.



“Creation of Adam” Painting By Micheal Angelo

One plus two equals three
Number one is denoted by God himself who is unique and nobody can equal him, but to help HIM are Yazats in Hasti the immortal world and surrounding Him as is described in the above picture. The number two is denoted by Duality and imperfect world of deceit, we humans who are yet incomplete reincarnating “Tanasak” again and again who say something else and do something else and are yet to reach out to HIM. Number three is merging with God after we becoming perfect and thus no Reincarnation thereafter “Tanpasin”. In the above picture just as human is trying to reach out to HIM sitting and in relaxed mood similarly God with all Yazatas (Archangels) helping him is also making every effort to reach out to his creation Adam but in far more animated effort greater than that of mankind’s. So the saying goes “That if you take one step towards God and HE will take 10 steps towards you”. But to reach out to HIM will be our first move and priority and not HIS.
“Ahmi Spenta Thwa Mainyu Urvaese Jaso”
Avesta Translation:- That time (Thwa) in nature will come (jaso) for Urvar ( ruvan) to merge with Minoi world (Mainyo) and to reach out for spenti ( Spenta) Dadar Ahuramazda himself.
Thus 12 Hazaras are measure of time for Salvation of Man as well as the earth itself. But when was this earth born ? . To know that we require to delve further into time in brief. Comparing to whole universe, the earth where we live and is our home is equated to a speck of dust floating in Universe. This Universe has manifested from “Ahu” the Unthinkable, unfathomable. Our mind cannot grasp Ahu who is also called as Impersonal God. This Universe will merge to Ahu in the end from where it has originated. That is the end will merge into the beginning, denoted by under mentioned illustrated description of a serpent swallowing its own tail. The time frame such a phenomenon will occur is called as “Yavaechayavetat” in Avesta. The vast expanse of Time is further divided into 7 parts known as Seven Kaal or 7 Epochs. Each Kaal is made up of one “Zarvaneh Akarneh” in Avesta or in short “ZA”.Akarneh= time frame having no shore or boundary(A- kinara= Akarneh). Each ZA consists of chock a block unimaginable mind boggling sets of ZDK. Each ZDK consisting of 81,000 years’ time cycle. At end of every ZDK this earth experiences water deluge where this earth receives a sort of “Nahan” from sins committed by humanity. It revives again and new ZDK starts. Thus history repeats itself, and time is cyclic and not linear and is denoted by the under mentioned illustration, which means it is a recurring state of affairs in each subsequent ZDK.



Serpent / Dragon swallowing its own tail, a symbol for the cyclic order of the universe

Thus in a nutshell TIME measured from higher to lower order is as under :-
1 Yavaechayavetat = the beginning and end of Universe= 7 Kaal or 7 Tenses in Avesta.
1 Kaal = 1 Zarvaneh Akarneh or “ZA”.
1 Zarvaneh Akarneh or “ZA” = Countless Zarvaneh Daregokhadateh or ZDK.
1 Zarvaneh Daregokhadateh or “ZDK” = 81,000 years’ time cycle.
1 Zarvaneh Thwasheh Khadat or “ZTK” == the beginning and end of a human cycle marked by its birth and physical death and actual death that happens at Chinvat later.(is called as one life time of a human).


From the above explanation we can see how this universe is connected directly to Salvation of humanity. Time is a very complex subject.Time or “Zarvan” in some places of our scriptures is known as Shepherd or leader of “Ashoi”, whereas in some place of our scriptures it is not so. Zarathustra and Vedaevodat are interconnected and corollary tone another.

Mankind and his Cosmic Tryst with other Worlds.- Part 2

Nisti

What we call as Nisti or invisible but world destined for destruction can be divided into four parts. 1) Nisti e Avval or super ethereal top section, being the first or the sublime Nisti 2) Nisti e Myana or middle intermediate Nisti 3) Arvahi Alam or world of sprites which can be further divided into:- a) Arvahi e Ulvi and b) Arvahi e Seephli 4) Aipi Dakhyu including the earth globe. In the seven Dakhyus (as mention in Meher Yasht; 144) where our earth or Geti is situated at the fag end of the last Dakhyu known as Aipi Dakhyu. …………Ref:- Tavadia’s Manual of Khshnoom Page 142

The third part known as Arvahi Alam can be further divided into a) Arvahi e Ulvi b) Arvahi e Seephli . The word “Arvah” can be taken as Plural of “Ruh” or Ruvan. According to Ustad Saheb Behramshah Shroff this is technical word which has originated from Pehlvi, which literally means Ruvan or Atman. The word Ulvi means higher grade and Seephli means lower or baser Atman. But evolution and constitution of Ruvans belonging to Arvahi Alam is different from Ruvan of Geti or human being. Ustad Saheb has described in details about human being, but was reticent in giving away much details about Arvahi, for the simple fact that we Bastekustian Zarathustis should stay away from them.

As said before, that Geti or earth in comparison to Nisti is like a drop of water in comparison to the vast ocean of Nisti. The physical constituent of humans as well as Arvahi is made up of elements or “Anasar” but they are arranged in different manner from one another. The spiritual status of a human being born on this earth is higher in comparison to Arvahi. This is because a human however he may be full of evil nature, but there will be at least one part of goodness or virtue within him. Where as an Arvahi can be completely of evil nature which is represented by number Ten and which denotes sum total . AziDahak means Azi= Dragon, and Ten = Dah or Nadir of Evil,Nadir= the lowest peak of evil (which is opposite of Zenith peak), Aka= Evil (In Zoroastrian Numerlogy No. 10 denotes perfection, or complete whole sum) ……….(Reference:- Tavadia Manual of Khshnoom Pg 156, & Dini Gyan na Abdar Gohar by Dr Cawas Gotlaseth Page 50)

Daev and their follower humans who practice Devyasnis are not aware of its limited spiritual capacity. They try to cross their own limits by chewing more than they can eat and thereby create disorder and revolt in nature. In Hom Yasht the term used for above characteristic trait of Dev is known as “Kustroptaad”. That Mountain “Kustra no Pahad” is the mountain peak which is manifested by Devs themselves from their doubt and “Duz Khshatra”=powers used for evil selfish purpose…….. Reference:- Nikhiz Volume 2 Page 188-kh.

Humans cannot see ordinarily the form of Arvahi. As per Zarathusti Deen Bundahesh the evolution of Arvahi is absolutely different from that of humans. Similar to human beings who with their evil ways are prone to be sinful, the arvahi or Dev particularly Seephli Arvahi are very sinful and thus aid and abet “Gehnamino” himself. These evil arvahi take great delight in misleading human beings with their evil ways.

Subsequently as per law of duality there are humans who are spiritually evolved souls and such is the case with Ulvi Arvahis also and they are known as “Arvahi e Ala”. Ala= special. These “Arvahi e Ala” can be of help to Spenamino. They know Avesta also. Ustad saheb has not spoken any further on this topic because we Bastekustian Zarathostis who follow path of Vedaevodat as shown by our Paigambar saheb are forbidden to have any association with any type of Arvahi no matter be they Ulvi arvahi or Seephli arvahi which can be good or bad respectively. This rule does not apply to advanced souls and they do sometime take help of Ulvi Arvahi souls. Note:- Ve-daevo-dat= Law or Daat, Daevo= Daev, Ve=oppose.

Barring highly evolved souls of Zarathosti Deen and more over as an exception rather than rule, the highly evolved souls belonging to other four religions do take help of Ulvi Arvahi with their righteous power or “Kshathra”, and such evolved souls never do take help of Seephli Arvahi at all.

Asho Zarathosti Abed who dwell in protected circuit or Karsh of Demavand are free from any association or interference from Ulvi Arvahi as well as Seephli Arvahi, as they cannot enter into holy Karsh. But a “Arvahi e Ulvi” with great difficulty do manage to have vague idea of happenings within holy Karsh or dwelling place of Abed Saheb.

Late Bahmanshah Dossabhai Hakim who was very close disciple of Ustad Saheb Behramshah Shroff has recorded in his writings that when Behramshah Shroff made himself known to Parsi community and started his class in Surat, many asked him his source of Knowledge. Ustad saheb made reference of his source of knowledge belonging to Sahebs from holy Karsh of Demavand. At that time Bamanshah Hakim tried to put to test a claim by a hindu friend. The hindu friend claimed that he possessed with him a magical wrist band which was given to him by an Islamic Murshid. With the help of wristband and taking help of Arvahi he can predict what the person is thinking of at that particular moment. As a test late Bamanshah Hakim in his mind asked a question about the whereabouts of holy abeds of Demavand Koh. His hindu friend was unable to guess the answer of Bamanshah’s query he had asked in his mind. His Hindu friend was offered by his Islamic Murshid three Taviz which was to be used only in emergency when he was unable to get the answer by magical Wrist band. The Hindu friend burnt three Taviz over fire with hope of getting the right answer which Bamanshah had asked in his mind. The medium of Arvahi brought a very vague reply to hindu friend that this question is about holy saints who are fire worshippers residing beyond range of Hindukush Mountains.

From the above true incident it is apparent that an Arvahi cannot get any information from within holy karsh of Abed saheb. Seephli Arvahi who are evil in nature can fool a person and play pranks making false claims which is understandable.
After last world deluge the earth was ready for rehabilitation and could support any life on this earth. Humanity that were initially staying in “Pamir” or “Jamshed no Vaar” started descending on Earth. But before human race descended on earth those Daevs took control of earth and began dwelling before human race came down. Those Daevs for four thousand years created anarchy over Earth. The Poryotakesh Padshah and warrior knights – Pehelvans who used to fight battles with these Daevs keeping them in check before advent of Asho Zarathustra Saheb knew very well that only Paigambar saheb will be able to completely subjugate these Daevs into submission. Subjugation of those Daevs residing in Arvahi Alam have been mentioned in our scriptures especially Jamyad Yasht where Paigambar Saheb took to task those evil Daevs into submission and reformed them, but those who showed no remorse over their evil ways were driven deep down into belly of this earth. The Ustadi Lafz or term used in Avesta scriptures is known as “Zemarguzo”.

Those Daevs who were reformed by Paigambar saheb now became co-workers of Spenamino white side of nature and those Ulvi Arvahis were assigned the task of spiritual progress of other four religions and its flock but except for Zarathosti Deen where they had no jurisdiction. Several other Ulvi Arvahi worked under leadership of main Ulvi Arvahi. These Ulivi Arvahis are directed by highly evolved souls who with their righteous authority and Khsathra assign them certain tasks to be taken care of. In return these Ulvi Arvahi gets benefitted and are shown true spiritual path by those highly evolved souls of Asho Naar.

The path of Seephli Arvahi are blocked and openings through which they can make inroad and sneak on these earth are sealed for good by Paigambar Saheb for the remaining period till next world deluge cycle begins. But as time proceeds further and as different time cycles come into play, during detrimental time cycles when Saen Daruji and its elemental clouds are hovering threateningly waiting to strike Earth and various natural calamities strike. At that time those Sephli Arvahis tries to regroup and make attempt to renter earth. Some of them might achieve success in a small way and manage entry, but not that effectively that they used to be before advent of Paigambar saheb, when the very soul of mother earth Geush Urva waited for the advent of Paigambar saheb. In today’s time frame of Kayamat Zamanah these Sephli Arvahi can cast havoc but if it exceeds its limits then nature’s correcting balance sets everything in order.

As per Ustad Saheb Behramshah Navroji Shroff there are Mantras of white side as well as of Dark forces in nature that are present in other four religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism). Hindu religion does possess knowledge of white side Mantra pertaining to Southern direction which is called as "Dakshin Marg". Subsequently Hindu religion do possess Mantras of another path leading towards North direction subservient to gross materialism known as "Vam Marg". Today all Dhantar- Mantar that we hear of is originated from Vam Marg. Similar to Hindu religion possessing those Mantras, other four religions as mentioned above subsequently did possess Mantras of both sides of nature involving Dark as well as White side of nature. Unfortunately even today some of Parsees are involved in Dhantar-Mantar meddling with Arvahis (or Jinn Pari) and becoming slaves to them in hope of getting quick results from their everyday maladies or problems they do encounter. Besides they themselves becoming slaves to those dark forces of nature known as Arvahi they also entice others to same path leading them in wrong direction and thus indulging in Sins of Deen Dushmani or Ashmogi. The Manthras in Zarathosti Deen have only one word for it and that is called as "Manthro-Spento" or Manthras leading towards Spenti or Spiritual enlightenment. Reference:- Parsee Avaz dated 01.09.1968 article of Patet.

Such evil spells or Mantras are called as Agha Manthra in our Zarathosti deen and we are supposed to stay away from it. By its use and Amal one can invoke Sephli Arvahi and with its help can demonstrate certain small and cheap miracles. They can even predict very near future of minor incidence and not of any significance. One should be cautioned that these Seephli Arvahi are masters in manipulating and fooling mankind and derive sadistic pleasure in such acts. Finally they just manage to mislead their victims and the end result is always catastrophic.

A Bastekustian Zarathosti who lead righteous pious life as shown in our religion, and try to follow as much as he can Ashoi Tarikats never do fall in trap or become victim of such Seephli Arvahis. But those having their inner hidden thoughts of cloudy and evil in nature can easily be victims of such onslaughts. An evil Seephli Arvahi recognizes the weakness of its victim and thrives and nourishes on it, thereby never letting go vice like grip over its victim.

Those unfortunate persons who are under vice like grip of Seephli Arvahi become victim of passions and are constantly living in the world of disillusion as provided and fed by the evil Seephli Arvahi. This grip is maintained by a Sorcerer who under influence of Seephli Arvahi treacherously feed the victim with some obnoxious intoxicating stuff mixed in their food or drink. The victims come under influence of high level of Druji which is described in Khordad Yasht as “Druji e Hashi”.Those Sorcerers who aid and abet such Seephli Arvahi, and even its victim also, they all come under influence of Sins of “Aojdisht Parasti”, “Jadooi Jadoo Parasti” as mentioned in Patet Pashemani prayers. After death such unfortunate souls has to suffer a lot.

Late Jehangirji Chiniwala concludes in the end and cautions us never to fall victim of such Seephli Arvahi and their Sorcerer helpers who offer us solutions to our daily problems which seem to us as very appeasing and thus we get tempted in their golden trap laid by them.

Zarathosti deen has forbidden us to Bastekustians Zarathostis to create any new keshash or karma with “Ulvi Arvahi” nor take any help and be victims of Seephli Arvahi as well.

In our Avesta prayers as in Hormuzd Yasht para 5 & 6 Daev and Pairikao are denounced as under:-

Para 5) Aaat aokhta Zarathustra………………. Tabesho-taurvayastemcha, daevnam mashyanamcha.

Para 6) Yath ajem taurvyaeni, vispeh daev Mashyashcha…………….vispeh yatvo pairikaoscha , yat mam nae chischa ……….noit daev mashyo, noit yatvo, naed pairikao.

Translation:- I Zarathustra crush and smite the Daev and Arvahi and his Sorcerer helpers who by deceit spread ignorance darkness or Asare Tariki in place of Asere Roshni, and illness in those who are weak willed thereby defiling the creation of AhuraMazda and his sterling makings of which human mankind is his most skilful and beautiful of all.

And no evil elementals of Daev or Arvahi, or Pari ( Pairikao)= Female Arvahi or his co-worker Sorcerers(yatvo) who rain down on earth like a curse to mankind can harm me Zarathustra and I destroy them from its very root.

Ustad Saheb had given knowledge to many and only to those he felt were eligible. One of his pupils who studied Astrology under him was Late Manekshah Pirojshah Cooper. He has written in Parsee Avaz dated 5.04.1956 Page 10 as under:-

Those who become victim of evil spirit or a Sorcerer who with his evil spells or incantations is harming a weak willed person, then he should daily use “Abe-Zar” which will be his basic Tarikat. He should keep a lighted Divo preferably of Coconut Oil or Cow’s Ghee at all time with light falling over Crown of his head in night time. Should recite Tasbih of name “Ya AhuraMazda” three times that is 303 times. Pray 2 Yatha and one Ashem before the name and in the end pray after reciting Tasbih 303 times 1 Yatha and 2 Ashe vohu. “Ya AhuraMazda” is 87th name out of 101 Dadar AhuraMazda names, and he should regularly visit Atash Behram, offer good quality Sandalwood even though it is a very small piece, as Malabari Sukhad has become very expensive now a days and pray Atash Niyaesh in front of Padshah Saheb and apply holy ash over his forehead. Care to be taken to remove holy ash from his forehead once he steps out of Atash Behram. Also an Ayurvedic medicine under name of “Amarvel” can be used for those who are under evil spell of a Sorcerer.

Next we will discuss more about Hazaras as explained in Part 1.

Mankind and his Cosmic Tryst with other Worlds - Part 1

Editor’s Note:- To understand our deen we need to have Holistic approach because everything is connected with one another. Hence for understanding Arvahi, Jinn, Pari and queries like:- Who are they ?; From where did they come from ??; Where do they live ?; How different are they from Humans ???; What is their place in Cosmos and where do humans stand in their comparison?; How different are they from Humans ?. For answering such queries there is a need for one to go back and start from scratch. Cosmo genesis is a complex subject and absolute patience is required here as there is no short cut method here to understand it. One has to go step by step to follow it, and that is what I have done below. This is a subject of “Sezda” and only a photogenic narration or a visual treat can do justice to this topic although I have tried to put all of it in words along with necessary illustrations. Reference:- The under mentioned article has been taken from Parsee Avaz dated 29.02.1967 Volume 20, Issue 31, and in-between references has been given from various sources of Khshnoom literature as and where need seems to arise. I believe that for a student instead of relying solely on memory references are very important to be noted down from the very vast Khshnoom literature present with us. I have tried to make it simple and have not included too much details in one place. The additional details can be given separately later on. Also Tables summarizing the narration will be given in the end having Bird’s Eye view on the subject.

Mankind and his Cosmic Tryst with other Worlds - Part 1

As explained before, Arvahi are of two kinds. 1) Ulvi Arvahi 2) Sephali Arvahi. Ulvi Arvahi do not harm or interfere with anybody. Sephli Arvahi means lowly hovering Spirits who are invisible to us, but yet can show their appearance if they want to be seen by us and can change into any form. They are prone to deceive humans into committing sins and thereby getting sadistic pleasure of misleading them.
We Zarathusti Bastekustians are forbidden to have any contact or enter into any sort of Karmic obligations with any kind of above mentioned Arvahi’s. In our holy Avesta Manthra itself we can find many references. The daily Kusti prayers that we pray every day mention in Ahuramazda Khudai Pazend Nirang prayers as under:-

Ahuramazda Khodai Ahreeman Avadshan dur avaz dashtar Zad Shekasteh Baad, Ahreeman devan Darujan, jadooan darvandan, keekan, karfan, sastaran, gunehgaran, ashmogaan, darvandan, dushmana, freeyan, Zad Shekasteh Baad.Zad Shekasteh Baad= may the evil intentions of evil persons meet failure and defeat. Such Mithra in Kusti prayers are for those with evil intent. The male Arvahi is called as Jinn and the female Arvahi is called as Pari. But the word “Freeyan” is more relevant to low natured Seephli Arvahi group who are very evil in nature and especially belonging to female “Pari” category. There is no offence meant here, as this has got nothing to do with gender bashing or any show of Chauvinism but what we are discussing here are the truths in nature.

As per explanation in ilme-khshnoom given by Ustad Saheb Behramshah Shroff, Zarathosti Deen has explained in Bundahesh, can also can be known as Zoroastrian Cosmology or “Shrusti Rachna”, there is mention of 12 Hazara. Hazara should not be taken as thousand years or literally as 12 x 1,000 years. Detailed explanation is given later about Hazara. Where it is mentioned that in First Hazara Hasti or Immortal world was created – (Emanations). In the second Hazara Nisti or mortal world was created – (Creation). This planet Earth also known as “Geti” where we human being reside is destined to be destroyed and change itself. This planet Earth which is gross and earthy in nature is situated at the end of Mortal world of Nisti. It can be said that planet Earth is small part of Nisti. That Nisti is represented by vast sea, and in comparison to that vast sea our Earth is like a drop of water in the Sea of vast space known as Nisti.

On that earth where humans reside with their gross body is passing now through evolutionary stage of earthy Ushi. Before that earth and humanity along with it has already passed through Firey, Airey, and Watery stages of Ushi or Orbs. During evolutionary stage of humanity from Earthy Ushi his physical body is now composed of Fravashi+Ruvan+Baodangh+ Keherp+Tevishi+Ushta+Tanu+Azda+Gaetha or nine seams of Divine, Ultra Physical and Physical bodies. He was divided into Male and female parts and finally for his Cataclysmic journey towards attaining perfection was made ready to descend on this earth for his necessary evolution.

Zarathosti Deen Literature we have mention of many “Technical Terms” also known in Khshnoomic parlance as “Loghat”. The terms that concern our understanding of this subject better will be taken now. They are:- 1) Garo-Naman 2) Garo-Deman 3) Drujo-Deman. It is very important for us to understand these three words and its true meaning.

1) Garo-Naman:- a)The dwelling place of Yazats in immortal world of Hasti……..(Ref:- Yajasneh ni Buland Kriya Page 254)
b) A part of heaven in Minoi Asman ……………………………(Ref:- Dr Saheb F.S. Chiniwala Khordeh Avesta Page 173 footnote)
c) Burjisi or 6th Asman of immortal world of Hasti, where Hormuzd works as Spenamino and has “Khales” Adare Froba. (Khales= Ungraded Atash energy on 6th plane, found in its purest form) ……………….(Ref:- Nikiz 2 page 41K)

2)Garo-Deman or Garothman:- The dwelling place Earth or Geti similar to heavens when Ahriman had not yet been able to enter. (In time frame of 3rd Hazara period as explained below).

3) Drujo- Deman:- The dwelling place Earth or Geti when Ahriman managed to tempt human and thus was able to enter. (In time frame of 4th Hazara period as explained below)

Starting from third Hazara till the end of it, the initial Souls that had started descending for their soul-cleansing process on the dwelling place of earth were Souls or Ruvan belonging to “Naman” and had lesser drossiness or “Hoviyat” in comparison to those souls that will follow later on in 4th Hazara. The ignorance varies from soul to soul and those souls having lesser ignorance were send first for their necessary evolution. During that time frame of third Hazara, Yazats themselves would descend this earth, and guide those souls towards path of perfection. During the time frame of third Hazara no need for Paegambar Saheb Zarathustra to descend on this earth with Vendidad or Vedeavodat- law for redemption of Daev as Daevs and Satan had not yet arrived on this earth. The souls in question on the surface of earth did not require much effort, and they were known as original Burjisi Ruvans and for their salvation Yazats themselves stepped on this earth. Although Satan had surrounded the planet Earth but they were unable to step inside. The reason being, original Burjisi Souls having very little “Huviyat” within them were almost on the road to Salvation and were well within their limits and did not heed to the temptation of Satan and hence Satan’s inability to enter Earth. It will be very difficult for us to comprehend the time frame at that time. The Oceans at that time was of sweet water whereas now we have salty Oceans.

At the end of Third Hazara and beginning of Fourth Hazara, Souls belonging to “Deman” having grosser “Hoviyat” than souls of “Naman” of previous Third Hazara started Reincarnating on the earth. These souls having more Hoviyat or Druj within their physical body were more inclined to temptation of Satan. Their weakness was exploited immediately by Satan and he managed to infiltrate on this earth. The “Deman” souls were prone to succumbing to carnal Passions and temptation of Ahriman worked effortlessly like a hot knife melting and cutting the butter with ease. This is allegorically explained in other scriptures as well as our Zoroastrian School of Thought of “Ilme-Khshnoom ni Maktab” as below:-

Initially Adam and Eve were residing in Garden of Eden (Garothman). They were forbidden to taste certain fruits. Satan in form of Snake tempted them into eating that fruit. The moment Adam tasted the forbidden fruit offered by Eve they realized of their nakedness and their folly.

Adam & Eve succumbing to Satan’s temptation in Garden of Eden

King Zohak with 2 snakes on his shoulders





It was from beginning of fourth Hazara that this planet Earth became Drujo-Deman literally meaning dwelling place of Druj. Except for one third of earth which in Avesta is called as “Aivithrishwa” remained free from Druji pollution on earth. Even today we all are residing on this earth known as Drujo-Deman.

In Shahnamah another allegory of King Zohak who had two serpents growing on his shoulder, which represented in-satiated greed. Every day victims brain was offered to satiate snakes hunger, and snakes refused to die even though their head was cut off. Mankind was now in total control of Azidahak the evil Satan.Rule of Zohak marked the beginning of Drujo-Deman world and Self-gratification, sensuousness and depriving others from their rightful share became order of the day.

During the time frame of Third Hazara when Satan was unable to enter this earth because the Original Burjisi souls of “Naman” did not take heed to Satan’s temptations and Yazats resided and guided them on earth. Their rule extended to“HaftaKeshwar” and covered whole of Nisti. With their righteous powers they were respected even by “Pari’, who were so infatuated, obsessed and attracted towards man of “Naman”. But the original Burjis “Naman” Souls had complete control over the passions and they did not take heed to temptation of Satan who had surrounded the earth but were unable to enter it so far.

At commencement of Fourth Hazara when weak minded “Deman” souls having grosser “Hoviyat” and deficiency of divine knowledge thus sinful, started descending this earth Although they were descendants from Original Burjisi Souls of third Hazara, they succumbed to temptations of Satan which Arvahi Pari offered to them. The “Ishaq-bazi” or Romantic Rendezvous between Humans and Sephli Arvahi Pari remained unhindered and humanity was now in complete clutches of Satan. It is for the above mentioned reason that in our Pazand Kusti prayers says “Zad Shekasteh Baad” or defeat to “Freeyan” which applies to “Sephli Arvahi” and particularly “Pari” or female counterpart of Arvahi souls. That is how humanity did succumb to the Satan’s temptations.

In Nisti also called as Mortal World, evolution of an Arvahi is completely different from that of a human being. The unlawful union or “Ishaq-bazi” between Pari belonging to “Arvahi Alam” or other planes where Arvahi dwell, and humans with earthy physical body dwelling on this earth reached to such proportion that there was faceoff or Wars between them, and humanity had to accept defeat from Arvahi. This is narration and events that happened during fourth Hazara.

Reverting to Zarvan, we are in the fourth Zarvane Akarneh Boundless cycle of Time. As per “Zarvane Daregho-khadat Tavil” taught in Khshnoom it may be stated that the boundless time frame known as Zarvane Akarneh consists of innumerable Zarvaneh Dareghokhadateh ( Siroza 21) of 81,000 years each. According to nature’s curriculum every cycle of 81,000 years of a Zarvaneh Daegha is followed by a World Deluge caused by glaciers due to a slight rise in temperature over the freezing point towards the North Pole. This deluge while it submerges the whole of known material world, opens up the Aivithrishwa ( Yt. 13,3) the holy one-third of the earth globe(unknown to scholars) which has been buried under the mountain deep snow (Vendidad 2,22) in the Arctic region. In this Paragraph of Vendidad the falling of this snow was foretold to King Jamshid by AhuraMazda. “Yim” which is the “Humkar” or Co-worker of Khurshed Yazat revive this planet earth before Gayomard and his Anjuman come down on this earth.

Here in Aivithrishwa is “Airyana Vaeja” (literally land bearing noble seeds engendering righteousness etc) where holy Zarathustra was born. After an average period of some 27,000 years there is intense cold on “Airyana Vaeja” owing to which the population moves down to the plains from “Mount Alborz” and Airyana Vaeja is again buried under the snow, and the known material world becomes active again.

During each of the 81,000 years within the current 4th Zarvana Akarana (literally meaning Zarvan or time frame without any end or beginning akar neh=without any “Kinara” or border, boundary),souls with deficiency of divine knowledge and hence sinful, pass through the processes of spiritual Reformation, in which they are bifurcated into sexes, and 1/10th of both sexes is sub-divided into animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms, and then they take birth on this earth, benighted by the Veil of Darkness and governed by the laws of Akem-akai (Ysn. 43,5) evil to evil. On the earth they undergo condign punishments, which may be as severe as the pouring of burning, ore (Ysn. 51,9) over the body. Then at death they go to the sky (Thwasha), the Veil of Darkness disappears, and there gradually develop their Rae, inward divine knowledge, and come to the earth again with the Veil of Darkness -- and so the story repeats and repeats automatically (khadata), till Druj, which is the objective point in all these come-and-go is transmuted into Gao, blissfulness (as of cow-kind). This automatic shuttling between the sky and the earth is called in Avesta “Thwasha-khadata” (Vd. 19,13). Thwasha is the cycle of one human life-time, which is the smallest among Zurvans.
Reference:- Manual of Khshnoom by P.N. Tavaria Page 199

Parallel to above mentioned narration as disclosed by Ilme-Khshnoom we can find such references also available in other holy scriptures such as Bible in Chapter of “Genesis” mentioning Noah’s Arch.

So coming back to our main topic that this earth becomes fit for habitation after the previous deluge. In the beginning of latest 81,000 years’ time cycle of Zarvaneh Daregho-Khadateh (ZDK) that we are living in, after the waters of previous deluge recedes and after a lull of 27,000 years period of time the righteous souls that had lived together in Airyana Vaeja in “Mount Alborz” starts descending down under able leadership of “Gayomard”. As previously explained this world is now called as Drujo-Deman since Satan has already entered this planet earth because of weakness shown by humans in 4th Zarvaneh Akerneh as mentioned in allegory of Adam and Eve narration and humans succumbing to the temptations. Compared to the Arvahis or Daevas who poses knowledge upto 4th Gahambar humans are of no match to them. As soon as this Earth again becomes ready for habitation the Daevas or Arvahi who are companions of Ahriman,Satan descends down on this earth first and take control, before Gayomard and his Anjuman comes down from Mount Alborz. The Daevas or Seephli Arvahi, who are evil in nature have no knowledge of the fifth Gahambar of give and take or “Kharid-Farokht”, thus spread materialism, destruction and Dev-yasni amongst few mislead humans who do not follow path as shown in various religions take control of this earth once again.

As mentioned in Firdausi’s Shah-namah there is constant war going on between the “Turanians”, “Iranians” and the “Daevas”. One should be clear when we talk about those three. The Turans and Iranians are both humans and related to one another. The Iranians are followers of white side “Yazdan Parast” and follow righteous path as shown in our deen, whereas Turanians are descendants of Iran only but they are followers of Evil ways of Daevas. For example King “Afrasiab” or King “Zohak” who are both Turanians follow the path of Devyasni whereas “Rathestar” or warrior Rustom the Paladin destroyer of many Daevas was on the side of Iran. Although Afraisab seemed to be on side of Daevs, he possessed “Ture Frangaz” as mentioned in Avesta with which he used to antagonize Daevs and their Sorcery out of the hiding, and thereby exposing them to Iranian Warriors or Rathestars and thus in the process he being the reason for their destruction. ……………Reference:- Parsee Avaz. dated 30.8.1959

Whereas Rustam has special place in Shah-namah, just as Paigambar saheb is called as “Aivo”, so too Rustom is the one and only one who is unconquerable, and not even his Son Sohrab could defeat him. The tragic tale of Rustom and Sohrab is heart rendering in Shah-namah. Jehan Pehlvan Rustam had been passed from certain Yasnas and he had for his protection “Dami Upman” Yazat. To his right side was protection of Sherevar Ameshahspand and to his left side was protection of Fatehgar Firozgari Behram Yazad. He with help of Simurg Abed or (Sin Amru Abed) got his Horse Raksha. The armour that he wore known as Babrebiyan was kept in a Talimanic Abode of Jamshed Var which was to be given to him for his use later. Ruvan of Rustam was “Aojomand” and always protected him in different form and many ways unknown to us at the time of his need.
…………..Reference:- Parsee Avaz dated 6.9.1959

The need for Shah-namah and its above mentioned descriptions is solely to channel our thoughts in right direction that only “Rathestars” and other “Nar” with such Calibre and Superhuman strength belonging to white side of nature can fight against these Daevs.

The Daevas on one side and “Peshdadian” and “Kyanian” Emperors along with many “Rathestar” Like Gev, Jaal, Zarir, Bejon, Burjor, Faramarz and Rustom “Paoryotakesh Nar” and “Nabanazdiz Nar” on other side were at constant loggerhead wars between one another. For a period of 4,000 years the Irani Mazdayasnan Parast Shah and many Pehelvans kept check of onslaught of Daevas, Arvahis whose main aim was to stall spiritual progress and bring to halt the very machinery that aimed for Frashogard. The Daevas succeeded up to a certain extent but when elemental clouds of “Saen Daruji” blew to unimaginable proportion known as “TurehBradvaksh” or “Turbaratur” which threatened the very existence of this planet Earth then Geush –Urva soul of this Mother earth lamented for a Saviour. Paigambar Saheb can only dissipate the elemental of “Turbaratur” that too in the end after his final mission of eliminating Daevas from surface of this earth was over. The under mentioned image is just a picturesque representation for better understanding deadly clouds of “Turbaratur” threatening to destroy the planet Earth.

Destructive Elemental clouds of “Turbaratur” hovering over Mother Earth

Next we will discuss Nisti sequentially and many worlds within.

Rafu’s father later took Akhtar on world tour along with Rafu to various places of the world like African Continent, Italy, Turkey, China, Japan, Arabia, Iran all within flash of closing and opening of his eyes. All corners of the world were toured by them and writing it in details by Akhtar, a book titled “My World Tour” from his diary his unfinished job till now. Whether he has accomplished that feat by now is unknown by the writer of Parsee Avaz. It must have taken him years to record historical account of facts and events experienced by him and arranged in Chronological order in form of a book from his diary. As I said before this article had appeared first in “Kismet” Monthly Magazine but was initially and originally written in “The Intermediate College Magazine Aligarh” by Mr M. A. A. Hami. Mr. Hami writes further that suddenly Akhtar whilst in midst of making world tour finds himself suddenly in “Aara” home town of Rafu where he had met Rafu’s father in a Cave. It was early morning time and he saw Rafu seated on a couch in Diwankhana before him. The sudden turn of events in a fraction of a second surprised Akhtar into disbelief. But he also found the diary and all the narration that he had written from his world tour in his pocket. Akhtar doubted whether Rafu’s father had mesmerized him into believing of his world tour, but he immediately became conscious of the diary in his pocket where he had meticulously written about his World travel in details. But that meant that he had actually visited all the places in world and proof was lying in his pocket, and it was not some sort of Mesmerism playing tricks over his imagination gone awry. Akhtar did not know what to believe and what to discard as some bad dream. His condition at that time was like a lunatic at loss of words which did not make sense of all events summed up which occurred in front of his eyes.

Rafu took Akhtar to a room where choicest of food was spread on table to be served. Rafu’s father came inside that room and looked in direction of Akhtar, as he wanted to brief him about something. Rafu’s father continued further and asked him whether Europe did possess the fine science of making a world tour merely by sitting in a room and closing one’s eyes. ??? Akhtar replied in negative. That Science is called as “ilme- Roohani” or Spiritual Science, whereas Europe can only boast of Materialistic Science. “Jinn” and “Pari” or “Arvahi” are very much conversant with Spiritual Science known as “ilme- Roohani”, whereas Westerners are not even aware that such a Science can Co-exist in this material world. With help of this Science Jinn and Pari can travel in fraction of a second from one corner of world to another, be present there and can see, hear whatever is happening over there. If required “Jinn” can make themselves invisible and can change their form and body to whatever they want, and can go wherever they want. They dwell in world invisible to humanity in different dimensions and in lower planes. With help of this Science jinn can never become ill. Like humans they too are susceptible to death. The only difference between them and humans is that Jinn can lead a pious life where as humans are prone to temptations. If humans can develop their higher senses (Editor’s Note:- By observing various methods of Tarikats as shown in their own Religion in which they are born), by having faith on inner capabilities of dormant spiritual faculties so within, than there is hardly any difference between Jinn and human beings. This science belongs to Arabs and their predecessors with the help of this science were capable of making a dead man alive. In India very few Tantric Yogis that can be counted on finger tips are aware of this knowledge.

After some briefing done by Rafu’s father all three of them sat on dining table where breakfast was kept. To Akhtar’s surprise he noticed several set of hands without body Torso helping themselves with the food kept on table. This was too much for Akhtar to see and believe and he immediately fainted over there.

As he regained from his stupor and jolt that he had received he found himself lying on a couch of waiting room of Patna Railway station. Now accustomed and prone to receiving startling surprises one after another he got up and mingled in the crowd of railway station heading towards his home – hostel of Aligarh Muslim University where he belonged and was yearning for a good rest and sleep for he was very much tired physically as well as mentally.

On that very day he was feeling feverish and fever persisted for five days and refused to go. On sixth day his fever subsided and he received a letter from postman. The letter was from Rafu. He immediately opened the letter and read it. Rafu told him in the letter never to disclose whatever had transpired between the two of them and keep everything under wrap as a well-guarded secret. Rafu further wrote in the letter that every day Akhtar will daily be receiving a hundred Rupee note from below his pillow where he sleeps and that will take care of his education and daily expenses throughout his life. Perhaps Rafu added in his letter he might meet him later.

From the very next day onwards Akhtar began receiving hundred Rupee note daily which manifested by itself from under his pillow. He was surprised and dazed as to how such a thing can happen which had no rational logic behind it. He kept on receiving hundred rupee note daily for three consecutive months. His family and his class mates began wondering at the sudden flow of his unaudited income, even though he was not employed anywhere.

Human being is prone to making mistakes and such was the case with Akhtar also. Upon daily inquiry from his maternal uncle about his unknown source of income Akhtar finally came out with his little secret and told him the truth. From the very next day he stopped receiving hundred rupee note from under his pillow, and also received a letter from Rafu. The contents of the letter are as under:-

Date:-12th September,1926.
Place:- Aara

Dear Akhtar,

I hope you are in good of health. Perhaps this may be my last letter to you. I am deeply saddened that in spite of my repeatedly cautioning you were unable to keep the little secret about us within your belly. Whatever has happened has happened and I cannot undo it. But since you are my friend I do not want to drag the matter more about it. I have disclosed my real identity and put before you every truth about me and my father, and the special knowledge he possessed.

I had always considered you to be my true friend and had always loved you. I always admired you and loved you like a true friend, but was disappointed that you finally betrayed me in the end. I do not blame you, for humans are like that only and they betray your faith, and are always prone to temptations.

Perhaps I may meet you again in future, but you may not recognize me. I am even telling you the Venue beforehand where we will meet again. “Elphinstone Picture Palace” is the place where we will meet again.

This will be my last conversation with you as I will never contact you again. Alvida!!

Yours loving Friend,

Rafu


This is the end of the narration of true incident. Kismet Monthly Magazine in which this article appeared was titled as “Rafu”.

I repeat what I had said before in the beginning, that there was some person in the past, and even now in present who claim to have met some Saheb and describing the huge palace, illuminated with lots of lights, where non vegetarian food of Fish, Mutton and Alcohol was freely available and consumed over there. One can easily relate such a narration with the above mentioned true incident and compare of its authenticity. One thing is clear from the above narration of true incident, the lifestyle and the luxury enjoyed by these Jinn and Pari living in some unseen dimension. We also know now as to how a Jinn can draw a person towards their dwelling place.

For establishing contact with Asho Abed Saheb one require to be eligible first by following and observing Tarikats in minute details. If there is absence of following even basic fundamental Tarikats then that person’s claim is to be doubted. Perhaps as per Late Jehangirji Chiniwala he may have come in contact with a “Sephli Arvahi” who has fooled him into a belief. Those persons using only their personal intelligence to conclude on observations put forward by others that is known in Khshnoomic parlance as “Akal e Imkan dar Nafs”. Such a person not using his own Kherad, but relying only on his so called adopted conjectures is prone to misadventure. ( Ref:- P.A. 12.02.1967 Pg 3).

Whatever was to be known from Zarathosti ilme-khshnoom point of view has been narrated above. In Islam religion much has been written and known about it in their holy scriptures.

But a Zarathosti Bastekustian is forbidden to associate under any karmic obligations with a Jinn, Pari.

Akhtar received with help of Rafu monetary benefits. All this is possible because of the special powers possessed by Jinn. This narration can be considered as an eye opener and one should tread with caution about any belief thrust upon us and use our god given intelligence or earned “Kherad” to separate chaff from the wheat by getting to the bottom of truth.

This series in three parts has been concluded.

Editor’s Note:- My next article will be somewhat more related to this article only, where in much more can be written about “Arvahi”. It’s knowledge about many sciences and our ignorance of its existence. The evil spells of “Adha Mantra” that can be cast upon humans, and Sorcerers taking help of Jinn in casting a spell. The science behind Black Magic that can harm progress of a human. And side by side science of White Magic that is only used for spiritual benefits moving one closer to Frashogard and Avesta Manthra associated with it. The many cures and shield provided in our religion as preventive measures towards cast of evil spells.

Kind regards,

A true incident of a Jinn living amongst humans.- Part 2

Akhtar’s eyes fell immediately on Rafu’s father, and as mark of respect Akhtar saluted with traditional Muslim Salaam, Rafu’s father reciprocated back with other Salaam to Akhtar. After having greeted each other Akhtar felt humble enough not to look straight in his eyes as he intuitively felt that that he was standing before a pious personality. All three of them then proceeded towards a palatial room decorated with antiques and rich style. Whole room was decorated with Iranian Carpets which prompted Akhtar into belief that he was in the enchanting World of wonderland of Aleef-Laila which reminded him of Castle of Allaudin Badshah in it. As time passed by Akhtar kept on looking at surroundings dumbstruck with awe and amazement. He kept on wondering whether this was not his imagination playing tricks on him but everything looked so real to him. After having a hearty meal together Rafu had a confession to make to Akhtar. He told him as a matter of fact that in reality there was supposed to be no marriage , or get together later but it was just an excuse to bring him here and to introduce to his father, who was so eager to meet Akhtar.

The next day Rafu took Akhtar again to his father. This time the topic of discussion was to be “The Western and Eastern Civilization and various Sciences’ attached to it”. As three of them sat together Rafu’s father started his conversation explaining about Europe and American Civilisation and how they have made materialistic progress by inventing flying machines like jet airplanes, wireless Radio, Zeppelin. He went on further that he will demonstrate to Akhtar as to how Eastern Civilisation and it’s Sciences’ were far superior than Western Sciences’ by actually making him travel in time without help of any aircraft to various places of the world in fraction of a second by merely closing his eyes and thinking about that place in his mind’s eye. Rafu’s father requested Akhtar to close his eyes shut and to sit calmly at one place. Now he requested him to name any City of the world to his liking. Akhtar blurted out the name of Paris. He was told to open his eyes now. To his amazement and surprise the next moment Akhtar saw him seated in a Suite of a very famous Hotel in Paris and immediately next to him was Rafu and his father waving at him with glee seated nearby a window. Immediately Akhtar instinctively took a peek out of the hotel window and what he saw was a bird’s eye view of Paris city busy streets with countless cars moving and shining their lights like diamonds on a necklace, the hustle and bustle of innumerable Tram Cars shuttling to and fro in the Metropolitan city of Paris, and the jostle of sea of humanity on busy streets out to make a living in rat race known as life. The three of them descended from the hotel and came down on the streets of Paris. Upon inquiry of the name of the Hotel they were in he was told that famous hotel was called as Hotel “The Continent” and had more than thousand attached Suites and rooms in it, and was built at the cost of 80 lakhs. Rafu’s father hired a Taxi and all three of them sat in it, Rafus’ father giving instructions to Chauffeur of the destination and speaking in French with him. Akhtar wondered with amazement about proficiency and fluency with which Rafus’ father spoke French with the Chauffeur. Akhtar began recording all his travels in a diary. Later on they also went in Cinema talkies in Paris where door keeper allowed them to go inside without asking them for valid entry tickets.

World Tour with a Jinn:-

As if this was not enough Rafus’ father inquired whether he would like to tour City of London. Akhtar gulped air in his dry throat, his Adams apple moving up and down and blurted “yes” as if he had any choice. This time again he was told to shut his eyes and lay still at one place. He opened his eyes and the next moment he was in Hotel Alexandra in City of London sipping hot Coffee with Rafu and his father. They visited all places worth seeing in London which was meticulously recorded by Akhtar in his travel diary.

After London the next stop was New York. They visited Grande Oriental Hotel in New York and from the hotel balcony were able to see the city of New York. Like that they visited California, San Francisco, Hollywood, and Boston where he was introduced to a Bengali Student by the name of Mr. Sarkar. Since it was lengthy trip all was recorded in Akhtar’s dairy but is not shown here. For details one can refer the Kismet Magazine article.

Again Akhtar was made to close his eyes shut, this time they visited Berlin in Germany. The distance between Berlin and America is vast but still the travel between two places took place in fraction of a second with closing and opening of the eyes. Readers can surmise the science possessed by Djinn which today’s western world can never dream of acquiring it. In Berlin they visited famous Central Hotel. The most amazing part was without anybody objecting to their entry they were allowed to enter in any hotel unhindered. The other amazing part was Rafus’ Jinn father was like a Professor able to speak in any tongue the local language as if he had mastery over all spoken languages of the world. From there they went to “Vimer” where they visited the resting place of famous Poet known as “Geteh”. All the details are noted in Akhtar’s diary and many places visited in Germany were taken note of.

The next trip after closing eyes was Russia. Upon opening eyes Akhtar found himself in “Hotel Krusho”, from there they visited Cathedral of Assumption, Moscow. Rafu’s father narrated that the French army when they looted Russia they took all the booty from the Cathedral of Assumption Moscow in terms of five tons of Gold, and five tons of Silver, and plenty of Jewellery. They also viewed one of the wonders of the world and saw the Giant Bell of Moscow with portray of “Tzarelexis” and “Zarinayeni” carved beautifully on the giant Bell itself.

The Great bell of Moscow, Kremlin


The Great Pyramids of Egypt :-

Again Akhtar was told to close his eyes shut, this time he thought that it must be 10 o’clock in the morning and when he turned his head around he noticed himself to be middle of desert where the great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt was visible to his unbelieving eyes. As usual he was told by Rafu’s father who seemed to be knowing the world’s history at his fingertips that this Pyramid wad built by “Pharaoh” the King of Egypt and is thousands of years old structure that he was looking at. The biggest Pyramid was built by king Cheops of Egypt. It occupies 12 Acres of land and is 732 square feet in width and 460 feet in height and is stuffed with 8.5 Crores Cubic feet of material in it. It took 20 years to be built, and it took 6,63,000 (Six lakhs sixty three thousand) workers to build it. They also saw Pyramids of Sphinx which is human headed lion seated near the Pyramids, which is five thousand years old structure.

The ever wise Rafu’s father continued with Akhtar as his tourist Guide and said that the knowledge possessed by the Arabs was much more than all the sciences put together by European world. As per Rafu’s father Arabs were much more advanced in many sciences whereas Europe was still Barbaric.

Editor’s Note:-

We all know from where the Arabs got their knowledge that is from the Persians partly by persuasion and mainly by threatening them with force of sword. As in Shahnamah Firdausi Tusi says that Arabs were Bedouins, Nomads living on lizard’s meat and Camel’s milk.

Thus Firdausi Tusi in his Grand Epic Shah Namah or Book of Kings says :-

1) Toh inra darugho fasanah madan;
Ba yaksan ravesh dar Zamanah madan.

You do not consider this narration (in shah namah) as fairy tales, useless or false ;
All Zamanahs are not same (yaksan),they keep on changing from time to time, and things which were possible in one Zamanah is impossible in another Zamanah .

2) Badin Namah Umgraha Boguzard;
Bekhanad haran kas ,ke darad kherad.

This namah (shah namah) will remain vibrantly alive in hearts forever ;
For those who has Kherad will understand what i mean when i say that that today we are incomplete, whilst formerly our ancestors were complete as descended from our original Bunyaad .

3) Paragandah dar daste har mubadee;
Az Barahi Bordeh har beh khradih.

I have collected fragments of narrations(in Pahalvi) from different Mobeds;
All this narrations were destroyed by fanatics ( in 9 th century A.D),which can be observed from history.

4) Pur amad zeh shahan jehanra kafiz;
nehan shud zaroh gasht payda pashiz.

World (jehanra) has experienced deluge and calamities;
wherein the golden qualities (zaroh)like selfless service has disappeared, and selfish attitude which is like shell or kauri (pashiz) has been reinstated or born (payda).

5) Haman zezasht shud khuboh , shud khub zezasht;
Shud raheh-Duzukh padid az Behesht.

What once was considered bad (zezasht) has been legitimised now, and what was considered good (khub) has been condemned as bad now ;
Path to hell (duzukh) became visible,where as golden path to heaven( Behesht) became obscured.

6) Degar gunah shud Charkheh-Gardaan bachehar;
Zeh Azadgan pak bubrid Meher.

The (planetary aspects )Celestial sphere or dome is now spinning (charkeh-Gardaan) in a different manner ;
Those who were free from vices(azadgan) and god fearing (pak),the shelter of meher was lifted away from them.

7) Negunsar shud Takhteh-Sassaneh yan;
Azan zezasht kerdareh Iranian.

The Sassanian throne (which was azadgan) has been overturned ;
The bad( zezasht)deeds (kerdar)of Iranians ( mixed marriage, conversions ) was the reason for their downfall.

8) Zeh shireh-Shutor khurdanoh sus-mar;
Arbara Bajaie rasidast kar.

Those Arabs (Arbara) who drink milk of camel (shireh sutor) and who eat flesh of Lizards;
The fanatism of Arabs (Arbara)has reached upto such unbearable proportion.

9) Keh takhteh Kyanra kunad aarzooyeh;
Tofuh Bad bar Charkheh-Gardaan Tofuh.

That they desire (Arzooyeh) to possess the throne of Kyaniyan dynasty(takhteh kyanra);
Oh Revolving skies or Planets(Charkeh gardaan),it is shameful(Tofuh) that such fanatics are being encouraged.

10) Benahahe abad Gardad Kharab;
Zeh Barano Az Tabesheh-Aftab.
Pay afgandam Az nazma kakhe-Baland,
Ke Az bado Baran neyabad gazand.

Gigantic civilizations consisting of earthy Tall Buildings and Palaces or whatever can be build by Khakh or earth which were once Abad or at its Zenith peak ;
will someday bite the dust due to Rain water (baran) and Sun (Aftab),
But this Palace of epic poetry which i have made will remain immortal in such a way, that cyclonic winds (bado) or Torrential Rains (Baran) cannot even touch or destroy my Shah Namah epic.

That Firdausi Tusi's Poems glorified Zarthusti Din is evident from his poetry ,although he proclaimed himself to be follower of Islam in public, but his Bataen or hidden faith surely belonged to Zarthushti din which is evidently narrated as under :-

11) Sue-Gumbad-azar arid Ruuy ,
Ba farmane-paygambare-rast guuy.

You face in the direction of Atash Kebla (gumbade-Azar) which connects one to Ruuy of Hormuzd ,
It is farman or directive of Paygambar to stand in humility before Holy fire

12) Ba Yazdan ke hargez na binad behesht ,
Kasi ku nadarad rahe-Zardohesht.

I speak with truth of Yazdan, that they will never attain Behesht or heaven,
who do not (nadarad) follow the path (rahe) of Zarathustra ( Zardohesht) .

13) Rahe Boot-parasti parag-dah Shud,
Ba Yazdan-parasti pur agandah shud.

After the spread of Zarthushti Din the path (rahe) of Boot-parasti or Evil Black Magic which is selfish attitude has come to an end,
And Yazdan Parasti has been spread in every particle of this universe.

14) Pur Az Nur-e-Yezad Bebud Dakhmah,
Yaz aludgi pak shud Takhmah.

Let there be free flow of Yazatic Noor in Dokhmas;
so that the contagion (aludagi) associated with Tokham or seed of Zoroastrian becomes pure (pak).


Firdausi Tusi’s above mentioned 12th couplet is so forceful in nature that one would immediately doubt as to how a Poet with a Muslim name praise so much about Zoroastrian religion and that too with such conviction and unfalteringly faith. From where did he get so much faith.

Let us think about it.
