11. Miscellaneous
We shall now try to treat these main divisions one by one and show how the writer has
simply consciously or unconsciously given out his most objectionable views seriously baneful to
the land marks of Zoroastrianism, in spite of his responsibility as a Parsi priest and man of some
education according to the belief in which he is held.
In the end I have to express my deep sense of obligation to my respectful Ustad Saheb Mr.
Behramsha N. Shroff who has brought me from darkness into light re original Zoroastrian
teachings, and who has kindly given me permission to write this book in the line of Zoroastrian Ilme-Khshnoom
so far as I have been able to grasp his sermons in the classes of his Institute.
May the Almighty Ahura Mazda grant him a long life of health and happiness in order to
enable him to revive once again the immutable original canons of the most ancient and most exalted
religion of Zarathushtra -the Daena-i-Berezisha, Mazishtacha, Vahishtacha, Sraeshtacha Ya
Ahuirish Zarathushtrish – the Loftiest Law, the greatest, the best, and the most excellent which
belongs to Zarathushtra of Ahura !
Amen ! Amen ! ! Amen ! ! !
