I have been thinking for a while now of including a video of Ostad Lotfi on my site. As a sign of my adoration. I could not, however, decide which video. His excellent performances do not make the decision easy. But now that he will be performing in London on October 28th, I’ve gone ahead and chosen his Bayat-e Esfahan, dedicated to the memory of Ostad Banan. In my opinion, this video represents a transition phase in the artistic development of his music. Enjoy!
Small in numbers, but big in history, these days Zoroastrians seem to live a quite life without much publicity surrounding their religious beliefs and practices. It is rather rare that the attention of the public is drawn to Zoroastrianism. That’s why Ted Rall’s choice to use Zoroastrianism as the theme of one of his cartoons is so surprising.
According to Press TV a joint Iranian-Polish team has started excavations at the site of the Azar Barzin Mehr fire temple in Sabzevar, northeastern Iran. This fire temple dates back to the Sassanid era.
Hourmazd ist seit gestern offiziell ein Schuhträger. Auch wenn ihm die Koordination mit seinen neuen Schuhen nicht immer leicht fällt, so kann man ihn immerhin gehen hören, was ja auch neu ist. Er trägt Clarks Größe 4F.
Perhaps one option would be to counter the Islamic takeover of Iran in 733. Western countries could send in groups of Missionaries to preach Zoroatrianism, the religion of Iran before 733.
The practice of Isalm in Iran incorporates some of the rituals from the Zoroastrianism Religion. The holy book, the GATHAS, could be provided by the missionaries.
Missionaries to preach Zoroastrianism could be recruited from Western jails. Volunteers could receive reduced sentences for studying Farsi and volunteering to go preach the GATHAS. Zoroastrianism is similar to the Old Testament in the Holy Bible.
I previously started a thread on Zoroastrianism under Religion.

State Sponsored illegal immigration is causing consternation in the US. Why not use unwelcome immigrants as part of a strategy against Iran’s Islamic Militant government, which deposed Zoroastrianism?
The West should oppose the Islamic Militant Regime of Iran by supoprting hte Religion of Zoroastrianism, in Iran.
The missionaries could be given a Colt Peacemaker, 5 shot, 6 cylinder 45 Caliber Revolver. They would agree not to be considered hostages if put in jail, or otherwise detained. The objective is Peace.
Farouk Manecksha, a Parsi from Malaysia, sums up what practicing Zoroastrianism means to him:
Being Zoroastrian means leading an active, industrious, honest and above all, a happy and charitable life guided by the religious principles of good thoughts, good words and good deeds.
