Our greatest inheritance

Roj Khorshed Mah Khordad, 1386 Yz.

It’s a tough world and many of us face a tough life. At such times, the feeble mind tries to fall back on some interesting ‘what if’ scenarios. What if I had this or that, what if I had married some person or the other, what if I had done this in my childhood days, what if a magical genie suddenly appeared and gave me three wishes…

Going through the Whatsapp status messages on the mobile, my eye caught an interesting one today. ‘I need a ‘varsa’’,  a friend exclaimed. For those whose Gujarati is not up to the mark, varsa means inheritance. Who out of us has not thought about that what if scenario – the wondrous gift of a fabulous inheritance from some far off relative which would supposedly ease all our troubles…What a comforting and enchanting thought! Why not!

As I smiled inwardly and marveled at the imaginative audacity of my friend, years of reading suddenly put the mind into that most sobering ‘Khshnoom’ gear. What’s wrong with you, the mind exclaimed! Don’t you already have the greatest inheritance in the world?

Let me explain…

Many hundreds of years ago, as a past life ended, our Ruvan – the soul, began its journey towards the regions of Chinvat (explained in great detail in the series The Wondrous Circle of Life). It reached there and began to understand the enormity of the work that lay ahead of it, the intense education it had to receive, the many lessons it had to learn and the slow but steady undoing of the misdeeds of the physical body down on earth.

After many years of this relentless toil, interspersed with that oh so short visit to the earth during the 18 days of the Muktad each year, the Ruvan attained the state of Anushehi – a Spiritual Awakening and Mindfulness where it could truly comprehend the true working of the cosmos and experience the beauty and righteousness of Ahura Mazda’s creation. In this heightened state of Spiritual Awareness, the Ruvan proceeded to the higher regions of Chinvat where the Divine Trinity of Judges – Rashne, Meher and Sarosh awaited it.

Now as the state of Anushehi reached its full potency, the Ruvan truly understood the enormity of the physical body’s thoughts, words and deeds on earth and its ramifications. It realized that while much of the wrong had been undone by its toil at Chinvat, there still existed certain obligations and interactions which could only be fulfilled by going back to earth. And so, in its heightened state the Ruvan passed its own Judgement – that there would be no crossing the Chinvat to the other side this time – it would have to return to earth and try once more to cross out all the obligations that had been created with others there. That one more time, it would have a chance to finally conquer the physical senses and finish the cleansing of its adamant part.

As the Ruvan passed this judgement, its accompanying companions – the Baodangh (Divine Wisdom), the Fravashi (the part of Ahura Mazda in each of us), and the Anasers (the spiritual DNA collected from the physical body over many years by Dahm Yazad and transported to Chinvat by Khurshed Yazad) all separated from each other – causing the real death. Each of these constituents proceeded to their specific place in Chinvat and began their individual communion with Ahura Mazda.

After a period of time, the Department of Divine Logistics made sure that the right circumstances and conditions were in place for the Ruvan to descend on Earth. Gently, the Ruvan was awakened from its Divine Communion and informed about its downward journey to earth. Divinely Inspired and Spiritually Awakened due to its period of communion, the Ruvan promised to undertake the journey to earth and make no mistakes this time.

As it prepared for its descent, only one thing remained…the farewell. There is the presence of Ahura Mazda and His Amesha Spentas and the Yazatas, a grand function was held. A most precious gift was given to the Ruvan, a Spiritual Vestment, a sacred garment, Divinely Engineered, full of the sparkling light of the Celestial Stars of the firmament. Along with that garment was a special girdle, golden yellow and luminous. These sacred garments, which we know in the physical  form on the earth as the Sudreh and Kusti  were presented to the Ruvan in that special farewell ceremony, the physical form of which we call the Navjote on earth.

As the Ruvan was presented with these vestments, it cried out in Divine Ecstasy – Mazdayasno Ahmi, Mazdayasno Zarathushtrish! I am a follower of the Good Mazdayasni Zarathushtrian Daena. Thus armed, and full of the optimism of the new acolyte, the Ruvan began its descent to the earth, entering the womb on the 28th, 29th or 30th day of the 3rd month of pregnancy and giving the well-known kick to its mother to announce its arrival. Finally, at the end of the ninth month, the complete baby left the comfort of the mother’s womb and emerged out, back into the big bad world to begin a new life as a follower of Zarathushtra.

Readers of Frashogard, this is the greatest inheritance we have! To be born of Zarathushtrian parents, to be invested with the physical Sudreh and Kusti – a repeat of the sacred ceremony held in the celestial regions, to be armed with that spiritual armour to face the tough life that lies ahead…what more could we want? Truly that is the biggest ‘varso’ we have.

The Navjote is not an initiation ceremony – it is rather the confirmation and reminder to the now aware child – that it is responsible for its thoughts, words and deeds from now on. That he or she is a soldier of Ahura Mazda in the constant fight against the evil that resides both within and outside us and that Prophet Zarathushtra has presented us with this unique opportunity to make this life a true success, not in material terms, but in terms of achieving our spiritual salvation, Frashogard.

As each of us advance in life and celebrate our respective birthdays, it is an apt time to remember our true mission on this earth, to recall the promise we gave to ourselves, to our Prophet and to our Lord Ahura Mazda – that this time we shall not fail. It is up to us – whether we use our Divine Inheritance to further move towards our salvation or we squander it in the pursuit of all that glitters but is, in reality, fool’s gold.

May each one of us become worthy to be truly called a Parsi!

Elementary lessons of Zoroastrians
please do not type Amen !
when i see many Parsis saying Amen instead of the Zartosti term "
Eydoon-Baad Eydoon-Tarz Baad it make me so sad !
the Zartosti term " Eydoon-Baad Eydoon Tarz Baad" (the short form is Eydoon Bad /Eydun Bad ) was used from Parthian & Sasanian time and it is %100 one Zartoshti word that is same as the word Amen!
Amen is one Aramaic word that use by Muslims, Christians that are follower of Abrahamic religions!
the Pahlavi word " Eydoon Baad Eydoon Tarz Baad " come from the Avestan term " Atha Jamyat yath Afrinami " that means " may this (prayer) come to true as (we) wished "
why we want to left behind our Zartoshti culture & terms and use one incorrect word ?
then let's begin it from today to use our Zartoshti terms , when we have one rich culture why we should borrow words from other cultures & religions?

Why is there a tradition to feed animals like cow, dog, fish and rooster?

1)    In Zoroastrian religion animals are divided in two groups – gospand (beneficial) and khrafastar (hostile). Zoroastrians are supposed to care of gospands like cows and goats, and protect themselves from, or even exterminate if necessary, khrafastars like insects and reptiles.
2)    The dog, is a unique animal, as it alone has the innate and natural power, to recognize and fight evil, just by its presence and its sight. Therefore it has a role to play in after–death rituals and also food was specially kept for it in the Satum prayers in the past.
3)    Cow or bull is one of the foremost gospand, the first created animal, the animal which is a symbol of Bahman Ameshaspand. The urine of a cow or bull is used as taro and consecrated bull’s urine is used as Nirang. Hair from the tail of a special bull (Varasyaji), after consecration are used as an alat (ritual implement) for inner rituals.
4)    The rooster is the symbol of Sarosh Yazad. In the Vendidad we are told that the rooster wakes us up early in the morning so that we may not become lazy. By crowing it seems to say “Wake up Oh Man! Sleeping for long is not good for you.”
5)    Taking care of these animals by feeding, protecting and looking after them is considered meritorious in Zoroastrian religion.

Food and Zoroastrian Science behind its intake



Now a days there is misunderstanding that Vegetarian diet is best diet for our spiritual progress and Non Veg. food should be avoided by us at any cost.

But tell me do we have any answer to questions like as to why does a Parsi smoke, why does a Parsi remove Sudreh Kusti, why does a Parsi eat Pork, Beef, why does he marry outside even though all this is forbidden in our deen. Why does a Gujarati Baniyas and Marwaris without generalizing and being disrespectful to anybody and who is Shudh Sakahari still have their inner desire to make money at any cost even at the expense of playing with health of his customers add non edible waste to food material sold by him.We have no answers to it because it is all Karmic. Mankind with all given intelligence is yet given a freewill, whereas no free will is given to animals, because their evolution depends upon us humans. Freewill is nothing but God is testing us every minute which path do we choose, because on the day of judgement we are answerable to him and Mino Davar will judge us. Law of “Akem Akai” is at work every moment for rich or for poor, for a king or a Pauper. If we choose a wrong path we have to pay for it, if we stick to our tenets and follow it religiously by being God fearing then our evolution is faster.

But very important fundamental principle we have to know and understand about the topic of eating food or about veg or non veg food and is technically known as “Tarak e Hewanyat”. Eating Non Veg food does not make one inferior to Vegetarians, or by eating Vegetarian food only it does not make one superior to Non Vegetarians, except for Pork and Beef which our religion forbids it absolutely, because food that we eat is of Karmic nature, we receive food on our table as we are worth it. “Layak ne layak malae ne Mafak avey” or law of attraction of the Similar.


Why do we eat:-

Why do we eat ?? To get energy and strength and to physically survive. We eat food we like, our organs absorb nutrition like proteins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, sugar from the food that we eat and assimilate in our body as flesh and blood and throw out waste as fecal matter and urine. That is what science has understood from the process of eating. But what is actual purpose of eating, Why do we feel hungry ?? What does our religion say about it.

As explained before our physical body is made up of atoms and 4 elements or “Anasar” of Fire, air, water, and earth and with it many permutations and combinations form the corporal body. Our elements are scattered in Mineral, vegetable and animal Kingdom and with the process of eating we are supposed to assimilate our own elements within ourselves. With the correct way of leading a Tarikat baaj life we slowly attract our own particles of soul within our body, hence such kind of diet is called as diet of Gav or “Gav no khorak” That is purpose of our survival and intake of food. But with wrong type of leading our life away from the prescribed path as shown in our religion we assimilate elements not of our own self, but that of another soul which produces friction. Such kind of food no matter of vegetable or of animal meat will lead one to passions and lust. The matter does not end there but if the intake of food is that of Vohun then the Ushtan of that food does not rhyme or gel with Ushtan of that person and thus his Ushtan will be inclined to Gasak or dark forces in nature. Those dark forces will impel that person to be attracted to soul particles of others or Haram na vichar.

If one manages to attract his own particles scattered in Animal,Vegetable and Mineral Kingdom then the soul is on right path and finally with final merging of male and female counter parts the soul becomes as one and that is known as Khetvodat. He thus is on path of Anushe Ruvan.

When Ustad saheb Behramshah Shroff was asked as to what is correct diet one is supposed to follow if one wants to follow a spiritual life, he replied that till you are not true to one’s own self and speak truth the question of superiority of vegetable diet against Animal diet known as “Tark e Hevaniyat” does not arise.

Although we as bastekustian Zarathustis one should be careful not to eat Pork or beef. The reason is although pork gives the required heat or Garmotari necessary in its meat the Ushtan of that animal is of Kharfastri Mithra and it even eats dirty fecal matter thus its consumption will lead one to undue passions or Havas-parast. In however sterile atmosphere of pig pans they are bred in they will still eat “Narak” or waste matter. The law of Similar at work here. As far as Cow’s meat is concerned, Cow is venerated in our religion with holy “Nirang” used in all our Pavmahal Kriyas like Nirangdin, Yajashney, Vendidad, evolving around sacred Varasyaji . Apart from that the meat of Cow or Bull has Khushki or meat only increases ailments in our body and does not give needed strength as required in a diet. The other four legged animals that one can eat is Sheep or goat as it has required Garmotari and its Ushtan does not lead one to Kharfastari Mithra. Same is case with Fowl like Hen, but male fowl or “Murgoh” is not permissible to be consumed as it is sacred vehicle of Sarosh Yazad.
When a person is on right path then he automatically becomes a Vegetarian. Even if he unknowingly consumes Non veg food without his knowledge then his system won’t accept the food and he will vomit it out. Today when some of us refuse to eat non veg food thinking that vegetable diet is highly spiritual diet but unknowingly take medical injections which has animal contents in its manufacture. Thus nature forces us to take animal elements within till we have not reached the required spiritual level.

The milk of Buffalo or vegetables, and spices has Arvahi or bad elementals forces which are of dark side of nature.

Food that we eat is Karmic and not spiritually uplifting:-

Today whatever we eat is not at all lawful. The milk of buffalo is full of Vohun. Note Vohun is admixture of Dravao plus Gaav. Except for Hom all types of vegetables has bad elemental of Arvahi full of “Kharfastari Ushtan” because they are everywhere in all kind of vegetation and trees ever since this Earth has become “Drujo Deman” or dwelling place of Druj ever since Ahriman entered this earth. In fact he did not enter all by himself but we allowed him to enter after us succumbing to offered temptations. Even the vegetables that all grow underground like Potatoes, Raddish, and all sort of Spices are no better than eating Non Vegetarian meat and is full of Vohun saturated with selfish evil Mithra of Arvahi leading us to Haram. Even Pulses also carry blue print embedded of Arvahi Evil Mithra particularly red coloured pulses. But Eggs are somewhat less harmful in comparison to others mentioned above.

It has to be noted that Cabbage and Cauliflower neither fit in category of Vohun nor Gaav. It much depends upon the Mithra of the farmer who grows and cultivates it. The saheb-Dilan Masters in Demavand cultivate and farm with their own bare hands and they with their pure selfless Mithra of Gaav. So today the vegetation full of Arvahi selfish Mithra and farmers who cultivate it are not upto the mark and cannot be considered as pure thoughts because there is too much of evil everywhere affecting our thoughts. Even the vegetable vendors who sell vegetables are soaked in druji which further aggravates the vohun in vegetables. Hindus divide the food into Sattvik, Tamasik, Rajsik. Forget human reaching level of Satvik pure mentality but degrades further and further becoming of selfish nature or Haramvati. He cannot differentiate right from the wrong and makes bad choices which leads him to Sins. Any food today is bereft of taste and pale in nourishment. In such a sorry scenario the so called Pure vegetarians or Shudh Sakahari are most common perpetrators are engaged in adulteration of highest order even at expense of consumers health and not caring for the consequences. Particularly the Manashni of a corrupt grocer is questionable even though they claim to be total vegetarians. Hence the food that we eat is of Margarjani Keshash or of Karmic nature and we have no alternative but to eat it quietly without any fuss because it is our own doings that we have to endure it.

More on "Suva Ni Nirang" and "Sui uthi ne bhanvani Nirang" and meaning of Hoshbam



This Suva ni Nirang is the 13th Nirang of second group on page 53 titled as “Nirang e Khab Kardan” in Ervad Phiroze Masani book of Pazend Nirang Ba Maen. This book is available on line the link for downloading this book is :- https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=A4C89CBD09EB9AFB&resid=A4C89CBD09EB9AFB%21645&app=WordPdf

The Nirang for before going to sleep or “Nirang e Khab Kardan” is as below:-

"Naam eYazad, Naam e Ahuramazd Khuda Avazuni Yaz eYaar, Yaze Gushdaar Kasney Paityaar Meher Srosh Yaar Srosh Gushdaar Kasney Paityaar Ahurem Mazdam Ahuramazd va Ameshaspandaan va Meher Srosh Rashne, Naam e Yazad Naam e ahuramazd Khuda Avazuni.” ………Ashem Vohu (1)



Besides Suva Ni Nirang it is beneficial to pray Ung ma thi Jagrat thai ne bhanvani Nirang which is there on Page 55 of the above mentioned book,the Nirang is given below at the end of this mail.
Hoshbam:-
The best time to get up and pray is before Hosbam. One should get up before Hoshbam and be ready after bath for early morning prayers. Nowadays due to our faulty lifestyle after late night sessions and bouts of merry making and football matches it has become a fashion to go to sleep after late nights and get up after sunrise which is detrimental for our Soul, mind and our body.

Pharsi Monajaat is given as below:-

Sobasta vakteh mohsna, Sobasta vakte del-gush,
Sobasta vakteh Jan Feza, Sobasta vakte Sobahdum,
Sobasta vakteh Ashekan, Sobasta vakte Sadekan,
Sobasta vakteh Natekan, Barkhiz vakte Sobahdum,

Khahi ke agah Shavi, Dar hardo alam sha Shavi,
Khahi ke Marde Rah Shavi, Barkhiz Vakteh Sobahdum.

Translation:-

Bamdad is the most auspicious time, Bamdad is the time when our Consciousness can be aroused or developed further,
Bamdad is the most auspicious time in nature when Ushtan or Jaan can be augmented or developed further,
Hence Bamdad is the time when you should be fully awake. Bamdad is the most auspicious time for those on religious path and ideal for prayers for god fearing and “Khoda na Ashek”
Bamdad is the time for those who want to make their heart pure and for pure hearted Saheb dilan, Bamdad is the most auspicious time for human being who has inner conscious and who can speak.
If one is on the path of self realization and are aspiring for unravelling the inner secrets of Nature, and want to rule like Padshah both the spiritual and earthy realms in nature, for those aspiring to tread on prescribe path as per our religion, then Bamdad is the most auspicious time in nature for achieving all that.

Early to bed, and early to rise makes one healthy, wealthy and wise. The above Monajat is loaded with deep meaning. During Bamdad time the atmosphere is very subtle and peaceful because at that time there is not much human activity and atmosphere is just right enough for vibrations of our prayers recited and our Mithra Stoat to pass through subtle atmosphere surpassing the seven Meher Dakhyus of Nisti and go further even above to other spiritual realms.
Hence as per Vendidad when the male fowl or “Murg” crows during early dawn at Hoshbam one is supposed to get up, take cleansing bath with tarikat and kindle Atash Dadgah fire at home and pray Hoshbam nu Bhantar prayers and then set upon with our daily prayers. We should pass our Mithras in nature and wish for Salvation of entire human mankind and his progress and pray Satoom prayers for our deceased family members.

For the above Mithras to constantly run in our mind one should develop complete humility also known as “Khaksari” and that can be achieved by praying one ashem Vohu immediately when we open our eyes and then on the bed itself pray Spenta Armaiti Mithra which is the 14th Nirang given below of second group on page 54 titled as “Nirang aj Khab Bidar Shudan” in Ervad Phiroze Masani book of Pazend Nirang Ba Maen.

Nirang aj Khab Bidar Shudan

Ashem Vohu 1.
“Humata, Hukhata, Havarashta Sepas dar hom aj to dadar Ahuramazda veh avajuni, Patet hom aj vanah. Avi Guman Hom aj harvastin Yajdan va din va ruvan, va veheshta duzakh vhamar pa sedosh va bdan e astakhiz tan pasin vavasahinashna e Ahriman divan.
Ahureh Mazdao raevato Kharenaghato ameshanam spentanam. Nemo Zarthushtrahe spitameh ashoneh fravashae”………. Ashem Vohu 1
O Ahuramazda may my faith on good religion of Mazdayasni Zarathosti Deen in which I am fortunate to have been born, increase manifold, and may I try to reach the benevolent currents of Humata, Hukhata, Huvarshta of Yazats which run the cosmos
The above Avesta Mathra prayers protects us and negates the attack of Ahriman on ourselves which naturally deteriorates during course of our sleep.
We get down from Bed and do our small Ahuramazda Kusti. That is without Kemna Mazda untie our kusti knot and recite Ahuramazda Khodai ……… and tie our usual kusti knots and then usual Jasmseh avengeh Mazda.

We can then do our other Tarikats like Nirang Abezar by applying Taro three times all over our exposed parts of our body and take Baaj during course of Bath or Nahti vakhat ni Baaj.

The Magav SAHEBS of Baaten- part 1

THE MAGAV SAHEBS OF BAATEN
             PART 1

KSHNAOTHRA AHURAHE MAZDAO

In IRAN lies the great ALBURZ chain of  mountains and its highest peak is known as DEMAVAND KOH or KOH - E- DEMAVAND. Dear friends a large part of DEMAVAND KOH is invisible to us due to a( kas ) ie. divine fortification with the help of our Avesta Mathravani which makes it invisible to the naked eye.
This  invisible area is known as BAATEN meaning  hidden land and is heaven on earth. It is about 500 miles in length and 500 miles in breath. Around 12  to 14 lakh zarthostis of different higher cadres live here in perfect peace and harmony. In BAATEN also live our great sages called MAGAV SAHEBS.  They are always 72 Magav sahebs in number. They are the main pillars of our religion.

BUT why and how was  BAATEN created ?

In his first birth VAKSHURE VAKSHURAN " HORMAZ " Saheb had brought along with him KHOREH  ( AURA) of PAK DADAR AHURAMAZDA  (GOD) , and kept a little portion of this KHOREH in a certain part of DEMAVAND. This part is always illuminated due to this KHOREH and is brilliance is so marvellous that even sunlight cannot enter this place. Hence this portion where there is " LIGHT OF LIGHTS" is known as " HASTI".
Now to guard the HASTI ie.  KHOREH of VAKSHURE VAKSHURAN SAHEB,  our Magav sahebs formed a KAS of Avesta Mathravani and cordoned off a large area around this HASTI in accordance to the wish of VAKSHURE VAKSHURAN Saheb. The ABED sahebs followed it with another KAS,  followed by a third KAS made by LATIF MAGAV SAHEBS.

The Aam Anjuman of BAATEN is not allowed in the BAATEN NI HASTI area. Only SHAROSHA VAREZ MAREZBAN SAHEB and  ABEDAN ABED are only allowed there.

Also the 21 NOOSK of YATHA AHU VAIRYO are preserved here in a firey form. In it lies the wisdom from the beginning of time to the end of time.

Here in HASTI there is a mountain made of marble and one lakh eight thousand  different PAK DADAR AHURAMAZDA names are engraved on it. And in the end is engraved HAFEEZ, HAFEEZ,  HAFEEZ,  It means etc etc etc.

Now BAATEN is split into 72 kasbas or provinces and each Kasba has a MAGAV SAHEB as its head and is governed by him.
The scenic beauty of BAATEN  can be compared to none. The trees there have more flowers than  leaves, there is a whole mountain covered with a bed of roses and is named after JEHAAN PELWANS horse called "" KUHE RAKSHOO"". Roses grow in such abundance there that the breeze is filled with its scent. The climate is moderate and it rains whenever so desired by Magav sahebs.
A few words on the people living here. The men and women are robust built with height of 9 to 10 feet. Men wear Sudreh, Pyjama and Dagli. Head is covered with cap and irani safeh. Women wear long frocks and cap. Everyone strictly adheres to customs and principles of our religion.
They pray , work and celebrate. The sacred KSNAOTHRAO AHURAHE MAZDAO is frequently chanted  In what ever task they do or when ever they greet each other. There is no money transactions,  people are always humble and willing to help each other. People work in different professions like Dastoori, scientists,  farmers, teachers, musicians etc. The science is highly advanced there ( our science is negligible compared to them), the farmers there are the most respected class, farming there is done by horse and not by bull, the best of the food and fruit crops are grown there.
HORMAZ town is the capital of BAATEN,  in there is the Aatash Beheram of " ATHRAPUTHRA AHURAMAZDA ". It is governed under the head of MAGAV sahebs called MURZBAN saheb.  There are many other aatash beherams and aadrans in BAATEN. Each and every home there maintains a holy fire ( Dadgah ). Each home verandah is graced with dry fruis, and delicious liquors prepared at home. A wide range of delicacies in form of etables is a common feature. There transport is mainly by river ways and on horse back. The language spoken there is DASHATIR.

MAGAV SAHEBS.
They do not have a Rawaan like us but instead are made up of FRAVASHI  ie.   Minutest particle of PAK DADAR AHURAMAZDA. Their real image is of fire and are full of KHOREH,  but they generally live in human form.
As soon as a MAGAV child is born he recites KSNAOTHRAO AHURAHE MAZDAO and its vibrations are echoed throughout the length and breath of BAATEN and the whole of Anjuman there becomes aware that a MAGAV is born.
The smallest of  MAGAV SAHEB is so powerful that he can create a parallel world, solar system,  galaxies and the entire universe.  They know past, present and future.  Though they are so powerful , they are always humble,  simple and if they are reminded about their greatness,  they would say that they are nowhere near our VAKSHURE VAKSHURAN SAHEB  or DAAAR AHURAMAZDA.
They do not have death like us but when their time is up , they bodily proceed to a place in space called MARKEZ - E- KHAAB, and at the same time a new MAGAV child is born, hence the total no of 72 magav sahebs is always maintained.  Magav Sahebs never marry .
The grade of the Magav sahebs increase from 1 to 72 ie. 72 no MAGAV SAHEB is the most powerful and the leader of magav sahebs.  His name is MURZBAN. since he can directly converse with SHAROSH YAZAD, he is conferred with the title of SHAROSHA VAREZ. so he is known as SHAROSHASA VAREZ  ( title ) MURZBAN (name) SAHEB.
Along with 72 Magav sahebs there are 6 Magav banus. The 72 strands in our kusti signifiy the 72 magav sahebs and the 6 laris at the end of the kusti signify the 6 magav banus.
So dear friends every time we perform a kusti we are establishing   our direct contact with 72 Magav sahebs and 6 magav banus. So now can u imagine how important and big kriya we are performing when we do a simple kusti.
In all religions there are Trinity,  even in our religion we have many trinitys.  In this case a trinity is formed by
1.   72 Magav sahebs 2.    72 kusti na taar
3.    72 yajashtne na hah.
So hope my dear friends you realise the importance of wearing a kusti and also performing kusti from time to time.
Now my dear guru MINOCHER saheb had revealed a in depth detail about a few Magav sahebs.
They are as we know
A:  SHAROSHA VAREZ ( title ) MURZBAN saheb.
He is the head of MAGAV anjuman and he is also called NISTI ( universe ) na SHAH EN SHAH .His no is 72. His word is final in BAATEN.
He along with ABEDAN ABED saheb can only enter HASTI. ( as mentioned earlier ). There he meets SHAROSH YAZAD and decides on the further course of actions in the world as per the wishes of Pak Dadar Ahuramazda.

B: RASHID SAHEB
he is the next in line to become the head of Magav sahebs, hence his title is NAYAB( deputy) SHAROSHA VAREZ SAHEB. Hene is is known as NAYAB SHAROSHA VAREZ RASHID SAHEB.
he is known to be so humble and kind hearted that he forgives everybody.

C: KHUDAMURAD SAHEB.
He is given the title "" NAYAB UL NAYAB ( it means deputy to deputy) SHAROSHA VAREZ SAHEB.
He is known as the Khub na saheb, it is said  every once a year he comes to IRANSHAH and releases KHUB ( kind of rays) which is then distributed from here to  other Aatash beherams and aadrans for the betterment of our religion and mankind.

D: SOSHYOUS SAHEB.
Just before jagrel or the deluge he takes  a few zarthostis,  and few species of animals and birds to the safety of PARMER , ( where the jagrel waters dont reach).

E:. SHERYAR SAHEB.
His knowledge and understanding of medical science is unmatched. He is the head of the doctors also he has half the strength of RUSTOM PEHLWAN and so is conferred with the title HAKIMAN HAKIM NEEM RUSTOM SHERYAR SAHEB.
People who are sick or suffering from diseases should remember him for relief.

F: SHAROSH SAHEB. NOT  to be mistaken with SHAROSH YAZAD. ( both are different ). This Saheb is the youngest of Magav sahebs and his no is 32. His presence is always there when people are on 8 Aatash Beheram trip or undertake any religious work.

G. MERDAD SAHEB
He is the head of a kas in mumbai.

Few details about Magav Banus, Abed sahebs , latif magav sahebs and how  a VAKSHURE VAKSHURAN is made in next part to follow shortly.
