Zoroaster the herdsman

This essay was initially one of a series of lectures on “Zoroaster and his World” which, in 1953, was delivered at Oberlin College in the “Haskell Lectures on Old Testament Studies”.

 

… het Zoroaster would have made strong appeal to those people in any era of time who, in the morass of polytheism, were searching for new approaches toward deity. He taught that there was a single god whom all men should recognize and worship since He, who was present at the beginning and would still be present at the end of time, represented the best in all life. He proclaimed that there was open to every man a free choice for good or evil, and that every man must make that choice. And he was confident that the reign of the righteousness of his Wise Lord would ultimately triumph on earth as of course it was supreme in heaven. That such lofty sentiments should be expressed by a prophet whose career had ended before the middle of the sixth century BC is an astonishing fact of history. ---- “Zoroaster the herdsman” _ {Indo-Iranian Journal} _ Springer Netherlands _ ISSN : 0019-7246 (Print) 1572-8536 (Online) _ Volume 10, Number 4 / decembre 1968

Homai Vyarawalla wants to have Nano

 

...collector. «Vyarawalla is my dad’s aunt. I drive her car occasionally. We have a lot of mechanics here who can take care of old cars», he said. Considering her advanced age, one might wonder if Vyarawalla can drive the Nano. «You are wrong. I am more comfortable driving a car than walking. I do my own work and I don’t keep servants. I get things for myself from the market. If I have a car, it is easier to keep things in it. It’s difficult to lift bags at this age», she said.
