ON THE OCCASION OF NAVROZE, BRIG N B GRANT TELLS US
ABOUT THE HISTORY, CULTURE AND BELIEFS OF
THE PARSEE COMMUNITY
Pune, August 18: IT was 1300 years ago that a band of Zoroastrians
embarked on the Gujarat coast, thus becoming an integral part of India.
The day is celebrated by the members of the faith as their New Year,
known to us as Navroze. Parsees belonged to a tribe who followed the
teachings of Zoroaster...."Zoroastrianism is a religion of happiness and
laughter, which expects its followers to eat, drink, create wealth and be
merry provided these are based on the three pillars of Good Thoughts,
Good Words, and Good Deeds, bound together with a band which
stipulates that ‘‘happiness comes only to those who give happiness to others.’’
