SALGREH MUBARAK ANJUMAN ATASH BEHRAM!

Roz Ardibehesht Mah Ardibehesht – September 16, 2025, marks the 128th Salgreh of the beautiful Anjuman Atash Behram in Mumbai.

It was for its creation, as reported in the Jam-e-Jamshed, that our late Sant Dasturji Kookadaru Saheb through intense prayer manifested a miracle by miraculously creating a gold brick for the exact sum that was required to complete the Atash Behram’s building.

Such is power in our prayers! We have nothing to worry about. Have faith in Ahura Mazda and all will be well. Atha Zamyat Yatha Afrinami - As we wish, may it be!

Those who wish to donate towards the upkeep and corpus of the Anjuman Atash Behram, and we urge all our readers to do so, may find the details as attached with this post. Salgreh Mubarak!

Have a happy   with   lovely   people!!

REMEMBERING KOOKADARU SAHEB

Roj Behram Mah Fravardin marks the death anniversary of our most revered Sant Dasturji Kookadaru Saheb.

Kookadaru Saheb was credited with many miracles and was one of the most pious and learned Mobeds of his time.

It is said that Dastur Azar Kaiwan Bin Azar Gushasp, who was Dasturji Kukadaru Saheb’s spiritual guru, gave Kukadaru Saheb the following Nirang:

“Namaj-va-darud-vasetayesh-va-afreen
Barvaje-e-Kaiwan-safrehar Fe-naam
Ravan-e-la-Teemar-Teen-e-u
Arman-Saz-Harde Namane-Hom”

Dasturji Kookadaru Saheb was the spiritual guide of Ervad Nadirsha Aibara and gave him a special Nirang:

“Ya Noore Dastageer, Ya Dastageere Noor
Karam Kar Kareema
Rahem Karo Ya Parvardegar
Madad Karo Ya Naabee
Jarthost Tari Padshahi”

Ervad Nadirsha Aibara explained the meaning of this Nirang:
“Oh Sarosh Yazad, the one who gives us radiant light and who shows us the path of righteousness, please help our soul in performing good deeds. Oh Lord Ahura Mazda, please forgive us for our sins. Oh Prophet Zarathustra, please help us to accept your leadership and religion.”

May Dasturji Kookadaru Saheb guide, bless and protect us always, as we pay homage unto his noble soul.

ZERBANOO GIFFORD MEETS POPE LEO XIV!


Zerbanoo Gifford nee Irani was honoured to be invited by Pope Leo XIV, reports the Jam-e-Jamshed, to attend a special audience with him and the leading members of the Chagos Refugee Group. Her husband, Richard Gifford, has been the lawyer of the Chagos Refugee Group for over 30 years and has worked tirelessly for the Chagossian community that was wrongfully displaced from their island in the Indian Ocean by the British Government in the 1960s. Richards' legal work finally ensured that the international community acknowledged the Chagos people's right to finally return to their homeland.

Pope Leo graciously welcomed them to his private room in the Vatican and, in French, spoke of the injustice the Chagossians have suffered. He particularly thanked those who had helped the Chagossians in their rightful struggle to return home to the Chagos Archipelago.
Richard Gifford spoke to the Pope about the global legal struggle that he had devotedly worked on for over 30 years. He received Pope Leo’s blessings for his courageous and tireless endeavour to see social justice finally triumph.

Zerbanoo presented the Pope with a much-treasured copy of the Avesta, reports the Jam-e-Jamshed, and the ‘Z to A of Zoroastrianism’ for the Vatican library. She also presented a manual created at the ASHA Centre, which she founded in Britain, for the European Union's ‘Designing Learning for Peace’.

The Pope was visibly interested, the Jam-e-Jamshed learns, in Zerbanoo’s book on ‘Thomas Clarkson and the campaign against the slave trade’. Pope Leo is known for his deep concern for the plight of those in poverty and slavery. Zerbanoo spoke to the Pope about the work of the ASHA centre with young people. In November, she will be hosting an interfaith programme for young leaders of all faiths. Pope Leo was also pleased to know that the ASHA Centre is to become the "Representation Office" in the UK of the Chagos Refugees Group of Mauritius.

Zerbanoo’s visit to the Vatican in a Jubilee year also enabled her to walk through the 4 holy doors of Rome's four major basilicas, which are ritually opened only during this special time. These sacred portals are located in St. Peter's Basilica, the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran, the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, and the Basilica of St. Mary Major (Santa Maria Maggiore). Passing through these doors symbolises a spiritual journey from sin to grace, representing renewal, forgiveness, and the embrace of God's love.
