I Would just like to know, If a parsi man marries a non-parsi women, suposing being a brahmin, and the non-parsi women has began eating fish, chicken and egg, just for her husband, and is also ready to get converted into a parsi and follow all the ritual as per Zoroastrianism, but still the parsi community does not except them and then they say that the community is diminishing, IT WILL! and this will lead to non existence of parsis but will only exist in HISTORY books….OK Forget that, My Question is , Now that girl cannot eat non-veg and go back to her community as brahmins would also not except that too, so after she dies, which after death rituals will she be dealing in, can she be taken to the tower of silence of parsis or is there any other organisation for this as well.

If Any one can pls answer my question, giving me sensible answers, not like, “that is her problem and she has to deal with it.” but a good solution that every non-parsi person can do. pls email me to my email addr above….
thanking you.

Agiaries were the ONLY safe place of worship that were not harmed during Bombay Riots since the majority knew we are non converting race and the fact that other than Parsi’s no other community members were present.
I think those who want to rudderlessly change Zoroastrianism without political hind or forsight, without having a pulse on current affairs and with a closed mind of just changing for the sake of changing will not only prove themselves dangerous to Zoroastrianism but to all the community members.Instead of having a body like the Vatican that flexis its muscles when Christianity and Catholics are in danger, we have bodies that fight our existence.

Imaging an agiary with 10000 intermarried Zoroastrians. This automatically takes the figure to 20,000 people including 10000 spouses of different faiths that have a say in the agiary matters. It would be naive to think that Christian, Muslim, Hindu spouses of the zoroastrians are going to give up their beliefs even the ones that are banal to Zoroastrianism. The offsprings of these intermarried are naturally not going to differentiate between, our yasna ceremony and yagna of hindu parent, our gah/ boi ceremony with that of the namaaz and with time, we will have an agiary that enjoys idol worship,christian rituals and or any other non zoroastrian rites depending on the majority of the devotees.

With a gap of a generation, the forth comming Zoroastrian will think that Zoroastrianism is what is practised , a fusion , a cult of everything and anything even that ,that Zoroaster himself preached against.

In a world where Islam , promotes itself thru Quaran T.V , Christianity thru their God network and Hindu’s thru their Jagaran chanells , we have our leaders aiding the process of fusing ourslves even further and creating controversies that instead of enlightening a Zoroastrian child as to what he is , confusing him even more.
The Spartans defeated the Mighty Persians due to a traitor, Now who needs a traitor when wisdom and forsight ceases to prevail.
As far as, ‘Sai Baba, Cross, and all entering the Zoroastrian agiary, the excuse of’ AME SU THAIU, BADHU SAME CHE ‘ ALREADY PREVAILS.
