Ref No.: 36/5 Invitation to Public O’Shihan Cultural Organization

Re: Distinguished Zarathushti

Objectives:

1. Collecting and documenting the biographies of distinguished Zarathushti in a book for historical reference.

2. Expressing our appreciation and thanks to their great efforts and achievements.

3. Encouraging others to follow the path of these great names in science, culture, art and education.

Details:

In his book ‘Farzaunigaun-i Zartoshty’ (distinguished Zarathushti), late Mobed Rasheed Shahmardaan did a great job which shall be followed and other persons including himself should be identified and their detail be published through this book.

‘Distinguished’ for this book will include the distinguished or pioneer Zarathushtis in literature, science, art and education.

At this stage, we limit this to Farsi speaking Zarathushtis but we are well aware of our Parsee community with the great names who are well publicized.

We are forwarding our hands for your help, you who are a Distinguished or a relative/friend of a Distinguished who is not amongst us, to inform us o your/their existence so we can arrange for the details to be collected.

To introduce the distinguished persons or cooperating with us regarding filling the forms or any suggestion, please contact:

Many thanks to those who are going to help us in advance, however, the responsibility is held with O’Shihan at last.

We realize that it is not a ‘simple’ task BUT with Good Thoughts and Acts of those involved, it is achievable.

With the best wishes for the on-going promotion of Zarathustrian Community.
