Our priest here in California was very good friends with the Masani family and he frequently talks about them. He says Cawasji and Baji were very noble souls, and a great loss to humanity.

Was Darabshah Masani related to Cawasji Masani, Baji and Soli Masani?

@Rashna Pardiwala
Any Parsi can take care of the Varasyaji. These are dedicated volunteers. They need not belong to the Athornan class.

Best regards

A very small query:
Are there special people to take care of the Varasyaji? Are priestly class only permitted to tend to him or can behdins also do the same?

Dear Ervad Saheb,
Thank you very much for informing our community about the consecration ceremony of Varasyaji, Varzavand, and also telling about the elaborate ceremonies involved in doing the same.
I would like to thank Ervad saheb Asphandiar Dadachanji for fining and transporting the new bull to be consecrated,and to Ervad Sahebs Darayus Karanjia and Kaizad Kotwal for the consecration of Varasyaji.Lastly i am thankful to all those involved in helping to consecrate the Varasyaji.

I agree in that it should have been celebrated, however WAS THE DATE PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED IN ADVANCE? I am grateful to have learnt about this historic event from your post here. As President of the Zoroastrian Association in Pittsburgh, i will certainly announce it in our next newsleter. Thank You.

Manvant Ervad Sahib,

The enlightenment article on the ‘consecrated of Varsiaji’ is well impacted among the Zoroastrians.
Your satire on Panchayet’s trustees was very apt.
But late my Ustad Sahib Minocher Rustom Soonawalla gave me an advice ‘ never say mey kedhu, me kedhu’. ‘Mey mey to bakri bole’.
The duty on Dasturs’ assigned by Spitam Zarathustra Sahib is to serve the ‘Dharma’ without asking any reward from mortals.

With the best Regards.
