Khordad Sal Mubarak!

 

Dear Readers,

 

Before all else, on behalf of Team PT, I thank you for your very encouraging and positive feedback on PT’s Parsi New Year Special Issue. Your kind and helpful feedback brings us as much joy, as it provides direction for our onward content journey and services for the community.

Coming on the heels of a wonderful New Year, here’s wishing all our readers and community members an auspicious Khordad Sal Mubarak! Did you know that this auspicious day (Roj Khordad, Mah Farvardin), which marks the birth of our glorious prophet – Zoroaster, also represents many other historical milestones, relevant to Zoroastrians! It is on this day, that Ahura Mazda is said to have created the first couple in the world; that Shah Gayomard, the first king of ancient Iran, was born; and that our prophet, Asho Zarathushtra, received prophethood and religious revelation from Ahura Mazda, based on which we were blessed with our basic yet profound religious fundamentals – Good Thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds. Now what better way to worship and venerate our Prophet, than follow in His wisdom and His guidance that was bestowed on us, as Zoroastrians!

As we march into a brand new, beautiful year, into propitious new beginnings, may the wisdom of our enlightened Prophet be our guide and lead us into justifying our privilege, and delivering on our commitments, as Zarthostis, armed with Asha (righteousness) and gratitude.

Khordad Sal Mubarak!

Have a lovely weekend!
