Very few books were written by the Master himself. Here we present some of them.
The very first book brought out by Ustad Saheb, gives, in very brief but deep words, the outline of what Ilm-e-Khshnoom really is. Explains the fundamental concepts of the Zoroastrian religion. Essential reading for every student.
A short but powerful book detailing the role of Sarosh Yazad in the Cosmos and His specific role in the progress of man – both in life and after death.
A brilliant book by the Master which undertakes a review of the present education system borrowed from the British and compares it to the original Iranian education system. The book offers deep insights into what real eduction really should be and the fundamental concepts of Bun – seed, shir – mother’s milk and Audan – the Zoroastrian atmosphere in which a child should be brought up in. Very essential reading.
A very short book written by Ustad Saheb and then greatly enhanced by the addition of 5 footnotes by Dr. Saheb, this book gives in very graphic detail the state of the Ruvan at the time of death and thereafter and the progress of the soul in the regions of Chinvat. Very interesting reading in a simple format.
In this very slim volume of only 22 pages, Ustad Saheb explains the basis of the Fasli Roj Mah calculations. Ustad Saheb reveals that Fasal, which was generally translated as season, is not so but rather the spiritual force which gives rise to seasons. To understand this concept properly, Ustad Saheb explained the inner working of the Gahambars and the cosmic influence they have. Finally the Master reveals the two different streams of blessings which descend on the earth during the Gahambars and how we can earn our salvation through them.
This is the most technical, abstruse and difficult article ever written. Dictated by Ustad Saheb for the fifth volume of Frashogard magazine, it is perhaps the only written record of the way in which the Master used to speak. From this volume, the cover of Frashogard magazine had a special picture depicting what Frashogard is. Using what is technically known as “Ustadi zabaan”, the Master starts from the period where there was no time, and starts the recounting of the “Tanasuli silsila” the spiritual order and hierarchy through which the process of unfoldment of creation began. This very short article of only 7 pages has one massive paragraph, spanning over four pages, punctuated by endless commas! So difficult is the language in the article that out of about 200 words, 149 words have been given explanatory footnotes! The total length of the footnotes goes on to another 40 pages!
This article was so difficult to understand that nothing much could be done, but wait – for another 20 years! On the 25th Anniversary of the Frashogard magazine, a special issue was brought out by Ervad Phiroze Masani. In this issue, Dr. Saheb Chiniwalla tackled the small article of Ustad Saheb, which was reprinted in this volume, along with the footnotes. Then Dr. Saheb takes up a massive 147 pages to explain what the 7 pages of Ustad Saheb meant.
This is a great series to read and understand. Very difficult but very interesting!

Thanks for bringing it to our attention .Of course since most of it is in swach Gujerati , it will be hard for me to comprehend . But at least will be able to get the gist, if not the details. Thanks for the enlightenment.
My sincere thanks to whom-so-ever has taken the time and effort to complete the above.
