Dear Friends,

The 10th of June was our Gahambar event. The com-mittee was delighted to have such a large turnout of over two hundred people. As you may know, Gaham-bar is very important in our tradition and you may remember a speech I had given earlier talking briefly about its significance. I have included a section of the speech highlighting the meaning behind Gahambar and what it represents. Also I should mention that this latest Gahambar marks the last five days of the year in

accordance with the old calendar which is Hamaspath-maedem Gahambar. Gahambar gatherings are an im-portant part of keeping our Zoroastrian faith alive and active and it is of great importance that we continue this ancient tradition.

AZA Committee


Dear Members

I hope you have maintained your high spirits through-out the winter season and are ready for more activi-ties planned by the committee in the coming months. With Navroze and Pateti almost upon us, it’s time once again to meet up with your dear ones for an evening of merriment. This year the Navroze and Pateti function will be held as the Pennant Hills Community Hall. The delightful blend of Indian-Pakistani promises to be a delightful treat.

With the commencement of the new financial year, it’s once again time to renew your membership. The com-mittee has sent an email notification in the last week of June. For those of you who may not have viewed the communication, the details have been included in this issue.

Looking forward to the rest of the year there are yet opportunities to showcase your skills and I hope to see a great turnout at these events. The table tennis tournament has been moved to October. We hope this encourages more of our members to participate along with their family.

One of our senior members has achieved an amazing feat, having completed a well deserved century and is still going strong. To find out who amongst us has reached this enviable milestone, check out the article by the seniors committee.

Unfortunately, we have lost four of our senior members, Mrs Soona Devitre, Capt. Noshir Sachinwalla, Parvez Marshall and Dara Baria. Capt. Sachinwalla was one of the doyens of the AZA. A respected member of the community, his contribution to the AZA will always

Editor’s Report

be remembered. This edition of the Manashni carries a eulogy, which is a fitting tribute to Capt. Sachinwalla’s life. A silent contributor, Dara Baria regularly donated to the AZA building fund. He also gave up his time for the service of the AZA and will be fondly remembered for his dedication and philanthropy.

For the cricket lovers among us, I would encourage you to get Kersi’s booklet on Parsee Cricket’s Cen-tenary. Besides indulging in some nostalgia, you will also help the AZA, as Kersi has graciously agreed to donate $2 for every booklet sold to the AZA.

But wait, there’s more…

If you’re not into cricket, and prefer to relax with the melodious music of yesteryears, get your hands on Av-ijit Sarkar’s new CD “Hai Apna Dil To Awaara”. Now you don’t have to wait for Avijit’s group to perform at the AZA. Slip the CD into your player and enjoy the music whenever you want. Your contribution will help raise funds for Cancer research.

Finally warm up with some of our winter recipes. They’ve been carefully selected to add a bright spark to a cold winter evening.

I look forward to meeting you all at our forthcom-ing events. Meanwhile please send me your feedback and items of interest you would like to share with our readers.

By Hutoxi D’VineMy dad was born in Karachi Pakistan on the 15th of January 1931. His family was Parsees who devot-edly followed the Zoroastrian religion. His father was Rustomji Hormuzdji Sachinvala and his mother was Dhunmai Rustomji Sachinvala. He had four brothers Framroz, Khurshedcher, Minocheher and Dinshaw and a sister Ava. As a small boy, my father was full of energy and mischief. He was also very adventur-ous, strong willed and determined to do the things he was inspired to do which often got him into hot water. His nickname was “Ginger” as he was also very hot headed. At the age of 13, he was inspired to join the training ship Dufferin and declared his intentions to a very shocked family. Nothing they could say would dis-suade him from his path. It meant that he would have to leave home for a number of years while he trained on the T.S Dufferin, located in Bombay. It was also a very tough training school for the merchant navy that used very harsh forms of corporal discipline. He went for exams in India to qualify him to join Dufferin and out of 4,000 applicants; he was one of the few boys chosen to join. His first and foremost dream which he achieved was to become a Sea Captain. His next dreams were to see the world, to marry, to have a family, to be a success in life and to make meaningful contributions to his community. He was able to achieve all these things in his life.He sailed the seven seas. He loved the sea and often stated that his best and most wonderful times were at sea. He visited Europe, Russia, England and the United States. He even spent time in Korea during the Korean War where his ship brought supplies for the troops in South Korea. He often regaled us with his stories about how he confronted the many prejudices of the times. He always stood up for his rights with great courage and didn’t put up with any nonsense from anyone. He was a strong leader and captain of his crew. He went where angels feared to tread and wasn’t afraid to try anything. He enjoyed exploring other countries and cultures. You could say that in his

time he was quite a ground breaker.My dad fulfilled the next part of his dreams when he married my mum in 1957. He trained as a sea pilot and got a job in Karachi Harbour. They lived on Manora Island. Soon my brother Toos and I were born. When his contract ended and he got a job as a pilot in Tema, Ghana where my brother Caevan was born. Here my father was well known in government departments for his prudent and practical advice to the government. Soon after, we travelled to Singapore where he found a new job as a pilot in Singapore Harbour. Here, he was able to pursue his interests as a Free Mason and as a committee member of the Singapore Zoroastrian Association. He also joined the Theosophical Society and spent time discussing life’s great truths with the monks of the Ramkrishna Mission. We were encour-aged as children to discuss and debate every aspect of life. Although at heart he was a traditionalist in every sense of the word he really enjoyed being challenged by ideas that were controversial. He also had a great knowledge and respect for all religions and was able to explain their beliefs and customs to us. We visited many different temples and places of worship. He often stated that when he was travelling he could not visit a fire temple and so he would go to places of worship where he would say his own prayers as he

believed that you could talk to god anywhere. He was one of the first pilots to pilot the new giant oil tankers in Singapore Harbour. He also took us all on a wonderful and unforgettable trip around the world. The trip took us six months and although we didn’t attend school it gave us a tremendous education about the world and we thank him for that.After this we came to was Australia. He got a job near Carnarvon, Western Australia in a very remote place over 50 miles away from Carnarvon called Cape Couvier which was a harbour for the salt mines nearby. Soon after he left that job and we moved to Perth where my sister Ruxana was born. He next began to work for the Sydney Maritime Board as a tug master on Goat Island in Sydney Harbour in 1973. During the 70’s my mum and dad joined the Zoroastrian Association and once again they both became very active members. My dad became active in the committee and my mum taught in the Sunday School. It was at my dad’s instigation that Sunday School began. He was also very keen that the community have their own hall where they could meet, have functions and worship. He strongly believed in preserving the religion and culture of the community through meetings and education of the youth.Our mum passed away in 1986 and he missed her very much. He became more involved in his interests after his retirement in 1991. My sister and I went on a world trip with him which he enjoyed meeting all his relatives once again. He also became very active with the Zoroastrian and Indian Associations. He was thrilled when he got his uniform as a volunteer for the Sydney Olympics in the year 2000. He also worked for various committees, associations and local council volunteer groups. He took up many interests and led a very busy life. He strongly believed in philanthropy and service for his community.My father followed his dreams and was always true, proud and loyal to his origins throughout his life. He never tried to be something he was not. He worked hard to provide for his family and community. He was courageous and always believed in speaking his truth. He strongly believed in his religion Zoroastri-anism and throughout his life tried to practice to the best of his ability the three very important tenets of Good Thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds.Today we thank him and love him for the many gifts

he gave to his family and community. May Ahura Mazda bless, guide, protect and love him always.

Annual Jashan and Ghambar 10th June 2012

The annual Jashan and Ghambar at the Darbe-Meher drew a mammoth crowd, as Sydney Zoroastrians joined hands to invoke the blessings of our dear de-parted souls and enjoy a sumptuous spread of food.

President Fariborz Jamshidi, explained the signifi-cance of the Ghambar in a brief, but enlightening speech.Here is an extract of the President’s speech:THE MEANING OF THE WORD “GAHAMBAR”Originating from the Pahlavi word `Gaasambar’, Gahambar is derived from the words Gah and Ambar.

Gah meaning season or time and Ambar meaning the gathering together of a group of people. So, a Gaham-bar would mean a seasonal festival. The later writ-ings connect the Gahambars with cosmogony. Each Gahambar represents an evolutionary stage in the creation of the universe.

THE SIX GAHAMBARS There are six Gahambars throughout the year, occur-ring at non uniform intervals. Each Gahambar has a duration of five days. Their names signify that they were seasonal festivals.

Name of Gahambar Literal Meaning Days of Year 1. Maidhyozarem mid-spring 41st - 45th day 2. Maidhyoishem mid-summer 101st -105th day 3. Paitishhayem harvesting time 176th -180th day 4. Ayathrem beginning of winter 206th - 210th day 5. Maidhyarem mid-winter 286th - 290th day 6. Hamaspathmaedem vernal equinox 361st - 365th day


In the Avestan times, these celebrations were quiet, applicable to the climatic conditions and to the pre-dominantly agricultural community. At present, due to the different geographical and climatic conditions, these Gahambars do not fit into the seasonal pattern. However, the Gahambars continue to be celebrated at the regular intervals of the year, as they were ar-ranged in ancient times.

THE SIX STAGES OF EVOLUTION OF THE UNIVERSE In the Pahlavi literatures of Gahambar Afringan and Gahambar Aafrin, the Gahambars are identified with the six evolutionary stages with which the Universe was brought into manifestation by Ahura Mazda. Each Gahambar symbolically represents an evolu-tionary stage in the creation of the universe.

STAGE I: The first stage created Luminaries, the stars in the sky and fire in the universe, which must have been in a glowing white hot nebulous cloudy state. STAGE II: When this mass began to cool off, water was created, enveloping the globe. STAGE III: With further cooling and evaporation earth began to appear at the surface containing miner-als underneath.STAGE IV: Out of this soil sprouted vegetation, the first sign of life.

STAGE V: The next change produced animal king-dom from some elementary protoplasm. STAGE VI: These animals evolved to a point when individual mentality was manifest. Man, the Thinker came into existence.

THE CELEBRATION OF GAHAMBARA Gahambar is a festival set apart for congregational worship and thanksgiving to Ahura Mazda. Litur-gical services are performed to thank God for the institution of the different seasons, on the regularity of which depends the prosperity of mankind. Also, to thank him for the six best and grand creations of Nature.

The ceremonies performed include: a. The Afringan of Gahambarb. The Baj of Gahambar c. The Yasna of Gahambar, Visperadd. The Pavi of Gahambar

The liturgical service is followed by a solemn feast, wherein members of the congregation participate. `Gahambar-ni-Chashni’, the ceremonial and com-munal eating of the things offered in the Gahambar ceremonies forms an important part in the Gahambar celebration.


RATIONALE OF GAHAMBARThe Gahambars are festivals during which the people “join hands together to get benefit of mutual aid” as stated in the prayers. The subtle rationale of the Gahambar then is to promote brotherhood and fellow-ship spirit in the community. The rich and the poor, the rank and the file are brought together to meet, interact socially and respect each other. Feasting with simple food should inculcate a reverence of Ahura Mazda for simpler yet profoundly essential basic gifts of his creations which are to be shared by each and every one of us. Sitting together at the common table should inspire each of us to ponder and realize that we have an obligation to strive to share the good things of life with others. This sharing attitude need not be restricted to the Gahambar, but should extend into all other walks of our life. Last, but not the least, Gahambar festivity imparts a sense of timeliness. To participate in a Gahambar is akin to disciplining one’s

self that there is law and order in the universe and everything needs to be done at its proper opportune time (Gah). INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATION IN GAHAMBARIn the `Gahambar Afringan’ it is stated that each Zoroastrian should participate in the Gahambar by either donating in kind or by donating cash to support and promote the activity. If a person cannot afford to donate in cash or kind, then at least he should do is to be present at the Gahambar prayers to participate in the praise and thanksgiving to Ahura Mazda for His creations.

The four words used in the `Afrin of Gahambar’ are Yazad, Sizad, Khurad, Dehad. They mean: Pray, Perform, Eat and Give. They seem to suggest the different ways in which one can participate in the celebration of the Gahambars.

SARASWATI DEVIBollywood’s Forgotten Music MaestroReproduced from Avijit Sarkar’s Blog Post http://tinyurl.com/bn67kvf

In 1980, while commuting in Mumbai, a lady fell down from a bus and fractured her hip bone. Being a lonely person and living alone in a flat in Mumbai, the only help she got was from one of the neighbors. She got no assis-tance and no sympathy from the glitzy world of Bollywood music. She passed away in anonymity at the age of sixty eight. The lady was Saraswati Devi. She was the one of the first two female music directors in Bollywood (the other being Jaddan Bai – mother of Nargis Dutt) and was one of the pioneers of playback singing and the usage of a title music score for films in Mumbai.

Saraswati Devi was born in 1912 into a Parsi family as Khorshed Minocher-Homji.Parsis in India have been known for their pioneering work in many fields – films and music be-ing one those. The Parsi theatre flourished in the 19th and early 20th century and personalities like Ardeshir Irani and the Wadias set the very foundations of cinema in Mumbai. In the field of mu-sic, Kaikhasroo Navroji Kabraji established the first music school in Mumbai (1871) that set the trend away from music education in “gharanas” of classical music. Khorshed’s mother was a secre-tary at this institute (called the

Parsi Gayan Uttejak Mandali) and at the behest of her husband the gifted Khorshed was admitted to this institute of her initial educa-tion in music.

In passing, it needs to be men-tioned that a personality no less than V.N. Bhatkhande, learnt mu-sic at this institute during 1884 to 1891.Given the openness of Parsis to Western culture, Bhatkhande was exposed to the Western music at the institute which then inspired him to develop the Bhatkhande’s system of Indian notation that is used widely today. It was on Bhat-khande’s advice that Khorshed was then sent to Lucknow’s Mar-ris College of Music from where she graduated as a proficient musician.

After All India Radio (AIR) was established in the late 20’s, Khorshed and her sister Manek began a singing career at the radio station under the name of Homji sisters. Their broadcasts gained enormous popularity and they were spotted by Himanshu Rai

– the founder of Bombay Talkies. He invited Khorshed to come and look after his music department within the production house. Her first project was the film “Jawani Ki Hawaa” in 1935. She found it very difficult to make the lead actors to sing since there were no pre-recording and playback singing facilities in those days in Mumbai. Khorshed however decided to bring in the technology and facilities available in Calcutta to provide the first pre-recorded song in this movie. The song in question was “Kit Gaye Ko Ke-wan Haar”.

However there was a big hurdle that needed to be crossed. The film industry had a disreputable stigma attached to it and the four Parsi gentlemen who sat on the board of Bombay Talkies refused to accept a Parsi lady to be intro-duced to the industry. It took a lot of effort on Himanshu Rai’s part to make this happen. His impec-cable background and the fact that he was married to the legendary actress Devika Rani convinced the Parsi community elders to allow Khorshed to be the music direc-tor for the film. However there was one condition. Khorshed and Manek had had to change her names to Saraswati Devi and Chandraprabha.


With the hurdle out of the way, Saraswati Devi established herself into the industry as the first person to introduce and perform playback singing in the film “Jawani Ki Hawaa”. In this film, she was also the first person to conceptualize and record a full title music score. Saraswati Devi worked for Bom-bay Talkies from 1934 up to 1941. This was the period when Bol-lywood music was going through a metamorphosis from pure raga based music to more “lighter” compositions.

Saraswati Devi was able to delve into this transition with ease and although her songs were simple melodies, they were often based on classical ragas. One of her biggest hits during that period was the song “Mai Ban Ki Chidiya” recorded by the leading actors of the film “Achyut Kanya” – Asok Kumar and Devika Rani. The song was recorded after the actors went through intense coaching under Saraswati Devi. Her compositions gained popularity even in London where BBC chose the melody line from the film Janmabhoomi – JAI JAI PYARI JANMBHOOMI MAATA rendered by her with a chorus, as a signature tune for its Indian News Service.

After the death of Himanshu Rai, Saraswati Devi composed music for over twenty films for Bombay Talkies. One of her brilliant stu-dents – S.N. Tripathi – assisted her in many films and later became a well known composer himself. During those years she was asso-ciated with many legendary artists including Mumtaz Ali (father of comedian Mehmood) for whom

she scored music for dance based songs. She later showed her mettle and her complete grasp of clas-sical ragas when she composed music for six films produced by Minerva Movietone.

With the changing styles in music her popularity and demand diminished over the years. She did however continue work as an independent composer for a while and her last popular film was Usha Haran (1949) with twelve songs (two of these were recorded by Lata Mangeshkar).

In the early fifties, Saraswati Devi was invited to be a judge for a music competition together with music director Naushad. The competition, organized by HMV, was won by a young college student by the name of Habib Wali Muhammed. Later HMV invited her to compose two ghazals for this young singer. Her two com-positions propelled Habib Wali to star status from where he never looked back. These two immortal compositions were Bahadur Shah Zafar’s “Lagtaa Nahin Dil Mera Ujdey Dayaar Mein” and Mirza Ghalib’s “Yeh Na Thi Hamaari Kismat”. The rest if history and today Habib Wali Muhammed is considered to be a legend in “ghazal gayaki”.

Saraswati Devi tried to make a

comeback after five years with-out much success. She teamed up with other music directors – Muhammed Ibrahim for the film Bachelor Husband (1950) and with S.N. Tripathi for the film Inaam (1955). The last film of her career was Babasa ki Ladki – a children’s film produced in 1961.After this she started teaching music while her sister Manek took up a job as a librarian. Saraswati Devi and her sister never married and they adopted a Maharashtrian family of six children, educating them and even finding jobs for a couple of them. She along with her sister was often seen walking on Mumbai beaches and talking to these children. In later years she lived alone in an apartment and in 1980 passed away.

Most people who are not aware of this extraordinary lady would have definitely heard the song “Koyee Humdum Na Rahaa, Koyee Saharaa Naa Rahaa”. This song was originally composed by Saraswati Devi in 1936 (film “Jeevan Naiyaa”) and recorded by Ashok Kumar. Years later, his younger brother, Kishore Kumar re-recorded this composition and is considered to be one of his best songs. While composing this song at the beginning of her career, lit-tle did Saraswati Devi know that lyrics of the song would be like her unsung epitaph.


The Association For The Performance Of The First Year Necessary Death Ceremonies of Zoroastrians

Contributed by Tim DesaiPresently considerable expenses are incurred for after death ceremonies and many of our brethren may not be aware of the ceremonies necessarily needed to be performed. The reasons for these are many, ignorance being one of them. There are Zoroastrian who do not have any heirs or for several other reasons harbour fear whether after their life time, essential death cer-emonies will be performed or not for the purpose of peace of their Ruvan and it is the aim of the Society that the death ceremonies are performed of the said individuals keeping in mind the sentiments attached to the Zoroastrian tenets. Presently, the activities of the Society are being revived based on the need of several Zoroastrians, who have requested revival of the same.

The Society is headed by Ervad Dr. Ramiyar Karan-jia, Chairman of the Association, and ably guided by:Ervad Aspandiar Dadachanji, Trustee, Panthaky, Vatcha Gandhi Agiary.Ms. Shernaz D. Mehta, Trustee, Vice- Chairman, Zoroastrian Co-operative Bank Ltd.Mr. Manek J. Kalyaniwalla, Trustee, Advocate & Solicitor, High Court, MumbaiErvad Pakzad Y Katpitia, Administrator, Panthaky, Mithaiwala Agiary.

The Society is in talks with various Agiaries/Atash Behrams for a tie up for the performance of the first year After Death Ceremonies of the Zoroastrians, according to the area in which they live, and even the Zoroastrian individuals living outside Mumbai/India can avail of the Scheme offered by the Society.

The Society has presently two Options.Option I: It covers the essential after death ceremo-nies for one year including Muktad and is presently priced at Rs. 40,000/-. Option II: The economical scheme priced at Rs. 25,000/-, further details can be obtained from the Administrator from the Association’s office.

Zoroastrians who desire to get their first year after death ceremonies performed should become mem-bers of the Society by paying a nominal sum of

Rs.51/- and thereafter can opt for any of the schemes mentioned above.

The Society is registered as per the Society’s Regis-tration Act and also under the Bombay Public Trust Act and is being looked after by its Board of Trustees. Community members may take advantage of this Scheme depending on their needs.

The following is an interview with Er. Dr. Ramiyar P. Karanjia which elaborates on how the associa-tion functions:

Q. Tell us something about The Association for the Performance of the First Year Necessary Death Cer-emonies of Parsi Zoroastrians? RK: The above mentioned Association is a registered Society formed in 1942 for performing necessary death ceremonies for those people who did not have anybody after them to have it performed. The society believed in avoiding expenditure on ostentatious per-formances of ceremonies. The society was active till the 1990s but then it had slowed down. The present Board of Trustees decided to revive the Society as a great need great need for performance of the first year death ceremonies was felt by our community members and since this being an already existing scheme; the trustees were requested to revive it. Pursuant to this, the society held its Annual general meeting on the 9th of July 2011 and quite a number of Zarthusthis attended. It is urged that our commu-nity members are made aware of this scheme and to of avail of its benefits.

Q. Are rituals necessary?RK: The performance of rituals and ceremonies is an


important and integral part of the Zoroastrian reli-gion, more so the after death rituals. The after death rituals are meant to soothe and assuage the burden of the soul if any. Performance of rituals makes the soul feel loved and remembered which a genuine need of the soul is. It is the duty and obligation of the near and dear ones of the deceased to have the ceremonies of their loved ones performed.

Q. Who is this society for? RK: The Society is meant to help those aged people who are either unmarried or those who are married and do not have children, or those who have children who are staying abroad and unable to have the rituals performed. In such cases these people are worried whether their ceremonies could be performed. The Trust takes the responsibility to have the rituals per-formed of the people who register for the same, once the Trust is notified of the demise of the person.

Q. Who are the Trustees of this Society? RK: All the trustees are responsible people. Over and above the existing Trustees, there are new Trustees from religious and ritual field, accounts field, legal field and banking field.The present Board of Trustees, apart from myself, are Ervad Aspandyar Dadachanji, Ervad Tehmasp Mogal, Mr. Aspi Engineer, Mr. Limji Nanabhoy, Mrs. Shernaz Mehta and Mr. Maneck Kalyaniwala. Ervad Pakzad Katpitia, Pantahaki of Mithaiwala Agyari is

the Administrator. Q. How can one take advantage of the objects of the society?RK: One has to first become a member of the society by paying a nominal membership fee of Rs.51/-. Then if one wants to have the after death ceremonies done, a form has to be collected from the Trust’s office at Mithaiwala Agiary Compound Jehangir Daji Street Grant Road (West) compound and fill in with the option one would like to choose and other necessary details.

Q. What are the two options? / What is the difference between the two options?RK: In the first options the following rituals will be performed.

Tea with lemon grassKersi Parekh

Many people occasionally like to brew tea with lemon grass. All you need is a few short pieces of the blades. Unlike most other herbs very few local nurseries stock and sell lemon grass plants in a pot. When it is available in nurseries it is for a very short time.

If you are interested to grow your own lemon grass this is one way that produces success. Lemon grass stalks are available from most vegetable and fruit shops, especially those run be Asian grocers. Late winter to spring is a good time to begin.

Select 2-4 stalks of fresh lemon grass at the shops. Let them stand in any old glass jar with about 3 cm height of water. After about 4-6 weeks they will start to grow roots. Regularly change the water in jar. Once the roots are 3-4 cm long plant the stalks in a medium

pot with good potting mix. Ini-tially support the long stalks, once the roots develop further and new growth takes over the plant will stand by itself. To increase your chances put more stalks in another jar. Lemon grass sells from $1/stalk.

Over summer the lemon grass plant will be ready to flavour your hot cups of tea. Use scissors to cut the top of the blades. Dried blades flavour tea just as well as fresh green ones.

to him, when all of a sudden the box fell and broke open. Chickens scurried off in different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the neighbor-hood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to the repaired crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly returned home, expecting the worst.“Pa, the chickens got loose,” the boy confessed sadly, “but I managed to find all twelve of them.”“Well, you did real good, son,” the farmer beamed. “You left with seven.”

One day there was a rabbit and a snake. They were both growing old and could not remember what ani-mal they were.“OK I’ll describe you and then see if you can guess what you are.” said the snake.“That’s a good idea.” said the rabbit.
