The Kusti ritual begins with the ceremony of &#8216;Padyab&#8217;, literally, &#8216;putting water over&#8217;, that is, purifying the exposed parts of the body will pure well water.

The essence of Zoroastrian yoga is the purification of the Aipi. The fundamental building blocks for the correct and effective practice of Zoroastrian yoga are Manthra, Mithra and Yasna. &#8216;Manthra&#8217; implies the correct and audible pronunciation of specific Avesta or Pazend prayer formulations. &#8216;Mithra&#8217; implies running the correct and powerful [...]]]></description>

The earlier post on Parsis, yogic exercises, and pranayam introduced readers to the Zoroastrian concept of Dum, or spiritual breath and the divine truth that the number of a person&#8217;s breathes are predetermined in nature. It was shown that any attempt to elongate, prolong or extend the individual breath cycle [...]]]></description>
