Khsnaothra Ahurahe Mazdao Hi Mehernaaz,
I fully endorse the last phrase of your last sentence that effectively states that those with atleast one zoroastrian parent should be included into Zoroastrianism.

I would rather our religion die out with the dignity and grace with which it has survived than let the disgusting abhorrent thought of conversion gain a foothold even in the deepest recesses of our minds. NO! NO!NO! We are happy ( in fact, very happy) just the way we are. We dont need any Amars Akbars or Anthony's to bolster our numbers. I agree.

So you are not willing to open your home to someone who does not have at least one Zoroastrian parent? Why is that? Perhaps ethnic and racial bigotry is much more a part of your makeup than you think. Sharing our faith is one of the essential elements of Zoroastrianism. If it were not, then no one would have been Zoroastrian to begin with as the holy prophet Zoroastrer would not have allowed them to join in the first place! So give up your old, antiquated thinking, open your heart and your home, and let the real love that is in our religion shine in, deekra. Tame be su!

I dont think the youth abroad are disinterested in the religion. A lot of youth abroad are very interested in the religion and make the effort. I've seen some like that and for the others, i hope so! Adar, every person has a right to their opinion. I respect your opinion but obviously dont endorse it. And if you are zoroastrian or if not, live among them, you will know what i mean by inherently zoroastrian. So if one is not inherently that, they may be one or the other that you mentioned, and they should stay that. Eruch Uncle, you are right in some aspects but there are some i i dont agree with.

Dr. Antia has stepped out of our small social circle and shared our faith with those who want to know about it. I think that we need to be more open to those who were not born zoroastian and as the commentor in this article put it inherently zoroastian and i dont understand how someone can be inherently zoroastian any more than one can be inherently christian, muslim, hindu, ect... the holy prophet Zarathrustra if he could be alive today would have wanted others to share his faith of their own free choice.

Yes I do agree with you that our youth need to be empowered so they can continue this beautiful legacy, but I am sorry to say that please don't look at that happening anywhere in the western world. Youth here have no time or interest in religious ,cultural or languge matters that to them seems trivial.So if anything our focus should be on the youth in INDIA, because I firmly beleive that our Religion will only survive in India.
