It was very heartening to read "Bridging the divide” by Zenobia B. Panthaki (Parsiana, March 7-20, 2025), about the interactions between the Parsi and Iranian Zoroastrians in North America.
I was very impressed by the emphasis laid by the Iranian Zoroastrians on understanding the significance of the navjote prayers. Children should be mature enough to understand what they are praying and what they are committing themselves to.
It is also wonderful how Ervad Behram Panthaki has worked to bring both the Iranian and Indian (Parsi) Zoroastrians closer together in harmony instead of harping on their differences in interpreting the Zoroastrian creed.
Ervad......
