And if Zoroastrianism survives till this day in resurrection of the body, the functioning of Angels and spite of adverse and challenging circumstances, it is Evil spirits, the general Last Judgment and life everlasting because he remains a colossus of strength and inspiration for the reunited soul, which have now become familiar for millions.

    Weekly Zoroastrian Scripture Extract # 102 – Pak Iranshah Atash Behram Padshah Salgreh - Adar Mahino and Adar Roj Parab - We approach Thee Ahura Mazda through Thy Holy Fire - Yasna Haptanghaaiti - Moti Haptan Yasht - Yasna 36 Verses 1 - 3 Hello all Tele Class friends: What an auspicious day today is! It is Pak Iranshah Atash Behram Padshah Saheb’s Salgreh – Adar Mahino and Adar Roj! Adar Mahina nu Parab! Today in our Udvada Gaam, hundreds of Humdins from all over India will congregate to pay their homage to Padshah Saheb and then all of them will be treated by a sumptuous Gahambar Lunch thanks to the Petit Family, an annual event! Over 1500 Humdins will partake this Gahambar lunch! I have attached 3 photos of the Salgreh in 2004 showing the long queue, Gahambar lunch Pangat and the Master Chefs! In our religion, Fire is regarded as one of the most amazing creations of Dadar Ahura Mazda! In fact, in Atash Nyayesh, Fire is referred to as the Son of Ahura Mazda! In our Agiyaris, Adarans and Atash Behrams, the focal point of our worship is the consecrated Fire and hence many people call us Fire Worshippers in their ignorance. That brings to mind the famous quote of the great Persian poet, Ferdowsi, the Shahnameh Author: “Ma gui keh Atash parastand budan, Parastandeh Pak Yazdaan budan!” “Do not say that they are Fire Worshippers! They are worshippers of Pak Yazdaan (Dadar Ahura Mazda) (through Holy Fire!)” In our previous weeklies, we have presented verses from Atash Nyayesh in praise of our consecrated Fires! The above point by Ferdowsi is well supported by the second Karda (chapter) of Yasna Haptanghaaiti, Yasna 36, the seven Has (chapters) attributed by some to Zarathushtra himself after his Gathas and many attribute them to the immediate disciples of Zarathushtra.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • This Special Issue Regarding Dadyseth Atash Behram Episode
    THIS SPECIAL ISSUE REGARDING DADYSETH ATASH BEHRAM EPISODE. My dear reader, This is a special Issue of Parsi Pukar, devoted to the recently (but temporarily) closed chapter of Pak Dadyseth Atash Baheram at Fanaswadi. Its trustees were endeavouring to build a residential 7 storey building in place of an existing one situated in the compound of the holy Paak Makaan of the Padshah Saheb. This would have resulted in the disappearance of the Bareshnoom gah and the structure for Varasiaaji situated in the compound; would have brought a car parking lot almost at the doorstep of the Paak Makaan; and also all the elements of pollution which are naturally generated in and around a residential building. The trustees had two main contentions in support of their proposed action: (i) They wanted to generate income for the maintenance of the Atash Beheram complex: and (ii) They had a "Laudable" object of providing housing for the poor Parsis. As to (i), were the trustees not aware of the proverbially charitable and generous heart of the Parsi Community? The proposed builder of the project himself would have alone provided, without any eye-wink, at least a crore of rupees in the Trust Fund. And the ordinary poor and middle class Parsis have often shown a much larger heart than the big Shethia’s. This is, therefore, a hog-wash no.1. At to (ii), to provide housing for the poor Parsis has now become an exploded myth. Look at Mumbai Parsi Punchayet, which has, instead of being a poor Parsi’s refuge, become a builder's den.
