Surat’s Parsi Family Opens Darshan For 199-Year- Surat’s Parsi Family Opens Darshan For 199-Year-Old Turban of Lord Swaminarayan When Lord Swaminarayan visited Surat in 1881, he presented his turban and Shriphal to Parsi Kotwal Ardesar. The turban has remained with the Parsi family for 199 years clip_image001 The turban is displayed annually for darshan on Bhai Dooj. A crowd of devotees gathered on Bhai Dooj in Ghodapur to view the turban given by Lord Swaminarayan 200 years ago. When Swaminarayan visited Surat in 1881, he presented his turban and Shriphal to Parsi Kotwal Ardesar. This turban has remained with the Parsi family for 199 years, safeguarded with the utmost care. Believing the ascetic’s presence is with them, the family willingly shares darshan of the turban with other devotees as well. Significance of #Swaminarayan Turban The tradition behind the turban is rooted in Lord Swaminarayan’s visit to Surat in 1881. After a brief stay, the yogi, pleased with Ardesar Kotwal’s service, gave a Shriphal and his turban to Kotwal before leaving on Magshar Sud Trayodashi of Samvat 1881. The turban was passed down to Ardesar’s son Jahangirshah, but following his untimely death, it was given to Sorabji Adalji Wadia by Jahangirshah’s widow, Doshibai Kotwal. Now, the third generation, represented by Tehmasp and his son Kershasp, continues to preserve the turban with devotion. @baps #india #surat #turban

With profound sorrow, we share the passing of Rata With profound sorrow, we share the passing of Ratan Naval Tata, a visionary leader, a compassionate human being, and a beloved son of the Parsi community, on [date]. Throughout his 86 remarkable years, Ratan Tata embodied the timeless values of his Parsi heritage and the teachings of the Zoroastrian faith, leaving a legacy of kindness, integrity, and inspiration that will endure through the ages. GarOTHMAN BEHEST - 1 Born on December 28, 1937, in Mumbai, Ratan Tata came from a lineage of pioneering industrialists who believed that success meant nothing if it did not benefit society. Raised by his grandmother, Lady Navajbai Tata, after his parents’ separation, he learned the importance of humility, compassion, and selflessness early on. Though his education took him to the United States—Cornell University and later Harvard Business School—his heart remained firmly rooted in the teachings of asha—truth, righteousness, and purity. As Chairman of Tata Sons, Ratan Tata transformed the Tata Group into a global powerhouse. Yet, it was his deep empathy for people, his unwavering commitment to ethical business practices, and his passion for making the world a better place that defined him. He often said, “What I want to do is leave behind a world that is better because of what we have done.” It was this sense of purpose that made him not just a business leader, but a true guardian of the Tata legacy. Under his leadership, Tata’s journey included notable acquisitions like Jaguar Land Rover and Corus Steel, which placed India on the world map. But more than these milestones, Ratan Tata will be remembered for the warmth he brought to every interaction, his genuine interest in the well-being of others, and his refusal to see profit as the only measure of success. His belief in the power of kindness, empathy, and charity reflected the Zoroastrian creed of Humata, Hukhta, Hvarshta—good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.

Madagascar’s Enigmatic Rock-Cut Architecture may Madagascar’s Enigmatic Rock-Cut Architecture may have been of Zoroastrian origin An international team of researchers found an enigmatic rock-cut architecture at Teniky, a site in the remote Isalo Massif in southern Madagascar, that has no parallels on the island or the East African coast.The research was initiated under Guido Schreurs, associate professor at the Institute of Geological Sciences at the University of Bern in Switzerland.Researchers have documented many newly discovered archaeological structures, including terraces, stone walls, stone basins, and rock-cut structures in various sizes, shapes, and forms constructed in the late first/early second millennia AD.Archaeological excavations and field prospecting at Teniky reveal a much larger and more important archaeological landscape than previously known.Surprisingly, the closest stylistic parallels to this architecture can be found thousands of kilometers away, in present-day Iran, specifically in the Fars region. The rock-cut niches at Teniky show similarities to those known from various sites throughout Iran, dated to the first millennium or older and related to Zoroastrian funerary practices.A series of four circular rock-cut niches. Photo: G. Schreurs et al.The recently discovered rock-cut niches and carved sandstone walls were constructed in the late first millennium/early second millennium, roughly the tenth to twelfth century AD, according to radiocarbon dating of charcoal found during excavations.
