Zoroastrianism


In Mumbai, we visited the Tower of Silence, where Parsi Zoroastrian funeral rites are performed. We met with Khojeste Mistree who talked with us about the Zoroastrian religion. Video and Editing by John Dickerman

    The Zoroastrianism,teachings of love,charity, and happiness, are lost in present Pakistan,Afgnistam, Iran, Irak, where eveil,poverty, opression of women, are practiced, without any bad conscience. TALK IS CHEAP !!

    How can they acheive nirvana and the 79 Virgins, in the killing of CHRISTIANS, AND NOT HAVE A BAD CONSCIENCE, BACAUSE WE ARE NON MUSULIM, ‘PARSI’.OR OTHER NAMES SIMILAR.

    Zoroastrianism – Yuk! I knew I would hate this one. So I viewed it and listened to it, and I loved it. Khojeste Mistree did a wonderful job of explaining his faith. I want to know more about Zoroastrianism. But like with Jane, I am doubting I will find evidence of this gentle philosophy in much of Southeast Asia.

    Khojeste Mistree whetted my curiosity about Zoroastrinism and the Parsi group faithful to its teachings. I believe it’s not religiously or culturally like Islam, and I believe there is a fairly large group of Parsi in India. Was Mistree speaking within the Tower of Silence? And what is that? I’m off on a quest to learn more — and I’ve just started with John’s and Alex’es videos!! Thanks.
