Prayers Offered at ancient Azargoshasb Fire Temple

From Amordad News.

 azargoshasb

The sound of Avesta, on 27 Shahrivar (18 September) once again filled Azargoshasb Fire Temple.

In Azargoshasb Fire Temple Zoroastrians recited the Avesta and prayed for a strong unity and cooperation of Zoroastrians of the world.  It is 6 years that this ceremony is being organized, annually, by Yatha Ahu site.  Azargoshasb is one of the largest and most renowned fire temples of the Iranian plateau, situated in West Azarbaijan, 49 km on the northeast of the city of Takab.  The history of this structure goes back to over 3000 years.  Azargoshasb is located near the Urumieh Lake (Chichest Lake) and was surrounded by magnificent buildings in those days.

Amordad camera also went to the Fire Temple to once again display the get-together of Zoroastrians in this ancient holy site.

    Firoze,
    according to Behram, on other forums…the word ‘SINNER’/'EVIL’encompasses not just those who dont wear extra vest under their ourfit… but also those Zoroastrians who donate their blood because they are polluting the blood stream as per “tokham pasbani”… And same logic stretches to all those who donate their body organs too. Also those parsi bairas who dare to pray or touch pickles during their periods…etc etc etc…

    If we were to make Behram the Pope of Zoroastrianism … he will be the only zoroastrian alive…

    And RUSTOM, that also answers why Zoroastrians in Persia prefered conversion to Christianity…

    Chiow…

    Hi Behram,

    Thanks for your write up from the Parsi Pukar. Earlier I missed reading it, since I found it very long. But, when I read Ratan’s comment, I thought I should read your write up & it is really very good.

    Farzana,
    I saw the photos on UshtateBook of the sudrehless Parsi beauty queen. The real surprise is that they were posted by the patron saint of UB, Meher Amalsad, who raved about her. Perhaps this holy man has lost his way and needs to be rescued by Parsi Khabar’s resident authority on Authority, Behram Dhabar.

    Dear Members,

    Isnt it sad that though we Parsis have a wealth of religious information waiting to be tapped and absorbed, our misguided community members choose to ridicule, find fault, and criticize those who spread such info and practice the religion as it should be. I am a novice and have very little religious knowledge but all the same would like to learn and share the truths as they are. I do understand that in today’s hectic lifestyle due to shortage of time and resources we may not be able to follow all rituals and practices but let us all make a humble beginning to do whatever little we can.

    The main difficulty we face is we do not know whom to ask. I do not know whether the High priests are accessible, who are the genuine scholars etc. Not that I have made any attempt, but now onwards I should.

    Behram, I for one would like to be a part of your group. Please bear with me if my questions seem stupid or childish.
