  • Jamshedi Navruz on March 21St, Fasal (Seasons) and Fasli Calendar
    Jamshedi Navruz on March 21st, Fasal (Seasons) and Fasli calendar: Part I Zarathushtis have been celebrating Navruz, which falls around March 21st since time immemorial, since our Peshdad King Jamshed celebrated it first and which is known as Jamshedi Navruz! Jamshed Padshah celebrated this day as the New (nav) Day (ruz) because it is the Spring Equinox when the time of the day and night are equal in length and after the long winter months, warmth returns and the planting of seeds (life) begin. The concept of spring or Renewal of Life (in March) is universally celebrated by other religions too. It is the universal celebration of new life returning to earth after winter is over! The Christians celebrate it with Easter (eggs symbolize new life); the Hindus celebrate it with Holi (sprinkling colors to signify the rebirth of vegetation). The Shi'i Muslims in Iran and throughout the world have retained the ancient Zarathushti custom of celebrating Navruz or, ‘Nourouz’ around the 21st March. Jamshed Padshah (Avestan “Yima”) is mentioned in the Zamyad Yasht (Karda VII. 31 to 38); Vendidad (Fragard II); and he is also mentioned in the Gathas (Ahunavad Gatha, Y. 32.8)! Accordingly, no one can deny the existence of Jamshed Padshah as a historical figure; also due to the fact that the New Year he started is identified as “Jamshedi Navruz”! As some have speculated, Jamshed Padshah and the Peshdad Dynasty were not “mythological”, but historical! The Pak Avesta was written in absolute pre-history; written history began only recently compared to the several millennia of history of the ancient civilizations unrecorded by historians in writing! It is held that Jamshed Padshah must have lived about 11000 to 9000 B.

What are the most important cultural or religious festivals? How are they celebrated? What impact does that have on their work or their shopping needs? How can we improve communication with people from different ethnic minority backgrounds? We have put together this booklet to help you with these questions and more. Our own employees from different cultural groups have contributed enthusiastically and we have learnt an amazing amount.

  • Zoroastrian Calendar; Efficacy of Avesta Prayers
    ZOROASTRIAN CALENDAR; EFFICACY OF AVESTA PRAYERS Zoroastrian months are of 30 days except the last month of the year which is of 35 Days, the final five days being called Gathas. Zoroastrian year is of 12 months. But a period of 120 years showed an addition of one month, making that 125th year of thirteen months - the addition being called as Kabisa i.e. intercalation named in the Pehelvi language as 'Vahej'. In their Empire days two methods of intercalation were in vogue. One was concerned in the ceremonial affairs, the other was concerned in the worldly affairs. One method was to add one day to every four years. This intercalation was rare even in the Empire days and was followed by great saints only. The other intercalation was to add one month to every 120 years. Eight such intercalations from the time of the Achaeminian Empire to the time of Sassanians Empire are perceived. We shall speak about these intercalations later on. The days of the months are named after the names of Yazats arranged in a role fixed according to their particular work in the creation. The names of the months are also named after the names of Yazats but fixed in a different role according to their special work done in the creation. Parsis have three calendars named Kadimi, Shahenshai and Fasli. The difference is due to the observance or not of the intercalations. Fasli calendar is one in which one day is added to every four years. Hence it is in perfect harmony with the movements of the Sun in the starry vault.

The focus is on the politicisation of the kisans , ordinary men and women who were numerically the largest section of rural society. It is argued that their world views and political aspirations were informed by clearly defined notions of social justice and power relations, themselves based on particular problems stemming from the nature of julum , one of its meanings being the tyranny of the zamindars. This thesis makes extensive use of oral sources, utilising social anthropological tools and places greater weight on folk wisdom, local customs and cosmological beliefs.
