Here we present the many different indexes which will serve as valuable research sources for serious students. The first index being uploaded is the Index made of the Parsi Avaz newspaper by Vada Dasturji Meherji Kekobad Meherjirana.
The Master Index has the following sections:
-
An alphabetical index of the complete Parsi Avaz articles, with Volume, issue and page number references, page 1 to page 94.
-
An index of translations and commentaries of various Yashts appearing in the Parsi Avaz and other Khshnoom books: page 95.
-
An alphabetical index of the writings of Dr. Saheb Framroze Chiniwalla appearing in the Parsi Avaz: page 96 to page 101.
-
An alphabetical index of articles relating to Shah Behram Varzavand appearing in the Parsi Avaz: page 102 to page 103.
-
An English rendering by me of the index of the writings of Dr. Saheb Framroze Chiniwalla with the volume and issue numbers, arranged chronologically: page 104 and page 105.
-
An English rendering by me of the index of the writings of Dr. Saheb Framroze Chiniwalla with the volume and issue numbers, arranged topic wise: page 106 and page 107.
This very important index, serves as a supplementary to the main index available in the Khordeh Avesta. It was made by Dr. Cawas Gotlaseth, a very senior Khshnoom student and author of several books. Made in a very meticulous manner, the original handwritten Gujarati manuscript has been typed out and is being uploaded now. An English translation will also be uploaded shortly.

Ervad Hathiram,
A truly monumental effort undertaken by Dasturji Saheb Merjirana. the index has been systematically sorted alphabetically (in gujrati) with volume / page numbers (with a legend of the period when these were published). This beats any sorting that can be ever be done on MS Excel – truly a labour of love.
Also appreciate the tremendous effort you are taking in digitizing these timeless treasures.
And yes, on the photos, I did notice the faces and dress of the old mobeds – radiant faces with long flowing beards. Truly where have they gone? (Their Kerdars are likely so good that they do not need to return during this age). May they continue to watch over all of us and guide us from the higher realms.
Why have the pries tin India today started to tie their turbans so carelessly. They cease to be turbans is the only rise 2 cm of the head. No? Just look at how regally the Mubeds of then looked. Now it seems ad though the priest are all suffering from headaches and have headbands tied on their head. The only priest that I have noticed (excuse my ignorance) with such honorable turbans are Dusturji Kotwal, Dusturji Meherji Meherjirana, and Ervad Dinyar Vajivdar (from Bandra). Especially Dusturji MeherjiRana the unique thing about him was the way his pagdi had a moon-like curved at the top (probably because of his moon-like mellow character). But worst of all are the Irani Mubeds who wear leather turbans– by God what hast this world come to.
