#Khordad Sal

[suraanahita]

Khordad Sal Khojeste Bad/Zayesh e Zartosht Mobarak, Happy (late-ish) Birthday to our prophet/seer Asho Zarathustra!

There is a historic mythology to his birth, where Zartosht or ‘Zoroaster’ laughed as an infant once he saw the joy of the good creation in all its splendour…

In the Preface of the Icelandic Edda Snorra Sturlusonar, Zarathustra is depicted as the infant whom oddly laughed before he cried at his birth; “Ok sá er fremstr var hét Zoroastres, hann hló fyrr en grét, er hann kom talem.”

“We find it stated that Zoroaster was the only human being who ever laughed on the same day on which he was born. We hear, too, that his brain pulsated so strongly that it repelled the hand when laid upon it, a presage of his future wisdom.”

(Naturalis Historia, VII.15)

May his joy act as inspiration as his Fravaši continues to do good, despite the faults of the world and humanity and the tribulations we all face…

Good thoughts, good words, and good deeds, there is only one path and it is the Truth/Order of The Divine’s love. :)

2020 Panreligious Calendar for all of your Panreligious Needs

MM/DD-MM/DD, MM/DD: Name (Alternative Name) [Religion]

Sometimes the final pair of brackets will have the name of a country instead of a religion. This is because the holiday is religious in nature, but is not widely celebrated outside of this area.

In general, for the purposes of this list, Eastern Orthodox Christians and Coptic Orthodox Christians are grouped separately to "Christian" as they operate on a different calendar. All dates are according to the Gregorian Calendar. It is assumed that you are in the Northern Hemisphere.

Khordad Sal Mubarak!

The Feast

Still reeling over a celebratory Birthday weekend of Gods and Prophets.

While many of us celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi with scrumptious fare and delicacies, our Parsi brethren celebrated Khordad Sal; the birthday of their ancient spiritual leader- Zoroaster also known as Zarathustra. He is credited to being the founder of what we now know as Zoroastrianism.

Normally celebrated…

[aarzan]

Wishing all Parsees on Instagram a very happy 🌹Khordad Sal Mubarak.🌹 https://www.instagram.com/p/B1d0rvWnKN3su3SVQ91Oo7j32ppizGRLH42Rmg0/?igshid=16gfbj9pndver

#Khordad_Sal is the birth anniversary 26th March 2017 (or birthdate) of #Zoroaster. Zoroastrians all over the world, especially the #Parsis of #India 🇮🇳 and #Zoroastrian in Iran celebrate the day in a great glamor. This is known as the 'Greater #Nowruz ' and happens six days after Nowruz . Parties and #ghambars are held. Special prayers and jashan are also held throughout the entire day. Clean, rangoli-strewn homes, children with vermilion spots on their foreheads, new clothes, fragrant flowers and delicious meals, all form part of the rituals. A grand feast is prepared to mark the occasion. Since the Parsi community is especially tight-knit, its celebrations bring kith and kin together; so does #Khordad Sal. The festival is also an opportunity for the Parsis to review their lives and actions, and make resolutions for the future.
