Dear Charlotte: 

I thought Mr. Jafarey had owned up to just three distortions of our Avesta some time back; three too many, I must admit.  You have shown us three just in one passage from the Haphtan Yasht.  Was it yet another lie from him?  How many such distortions are we going to find?   

This person seems to have taken gross liberties with our scriptures and we are still clamoring to have him speak at our community gatherings!!  Have we completely lost it?  Can you imagine anyone taking such liberties with say the Koran and getting away with it?  Looks we have another Pied Piper of Hamlin amongst us. 

And in the bargain, we have to swallow the chastisement we receive from the likes of Mr. Mehta for bringing such misdeeds to the attention of our community!!  I know life isn't fair but this is ridiculous.  Thank you for your vigilence and standing up for truth in the face of abuse.  God Bless you.  Kind regards, 

Ervad Jal Birdy.

Zoroastrians: 

Here is another example: 

Jafarey mutilates, oops!! “reconstructs” a paragraph of Yasna Haptanghaiti (Yasna 36.1)in his “Spenta” bulletin, April-May-June 1999. 

Yasna Haptanghaiti (Yasna 36.1) as mutilated by him: 

ahya thwa athro paouruye pairi jasamaide
Mazda Ahura thwa thwa mainyu spenta a
akshtish ahmai yem akhtoyoi daonghe 

Correct Scripture of Yasna Haptanghaiti (Yasna 36.1) 

ahya thwa athro VEREZENA paouruye pairi jasamaide
Mazda Ahura thwa thwa mainyu SPENISHTA
YE a AKTISH ahmai yem aktoyoi daonghe 

Jafarey Removes the word "VEREZENA",
Changes "SPENTISHTA" to spenta a,  
Removes the word  "YE" and
Changes "AKTISH" to akshtish. 

Jafarey destroys the meter, radically changes Y36.1 of Yasna Haptanghaiti and thereby distorts the meaning of this paragraph.

In my post of October 02, 2000, titled Zoroastrianism is Dead, one of my points was that Jafarey has changed and distorted our prayers.  Of the numerous Scriptural distortions, I put before you the mutilation of the “Ahmai Raescha” prayer. 

In a self-published book, “Zarathushtrian Ceremonies,” 1992,  (Pg. 49) he replaces the word “Ahmai” with the word “Yuvaibya” throughout the length of the prayer.  

In the same book, on page 42 he replaces “ahmai” with “te” and in another instance, replaces it with “khshmaibya”. 

He thus distorts the prayer thrice and then drops the lines “ahmai tanvo vazdavare” and “atha jamyat yatha afrinami” entirely!!!     

In the latest issue of the FEZANA Journal, in his article he writes of “the pre-Gathic Haoma Cult”.  The Haoma ritual, called the Yasna or the Ijashne informs the religious crux of Zoroastrianism.  It is the ritual that strengthens and sustains the seven “spenta” creations of Ahura Mazda!!  There is no ritual more important than this particular one.  Jafarey reduces it to a pre-Gathic Cult.  This should outrage the sensibilities of Zoroastrians everywhere!!   

To all who wish to exercise your “innate, Ahura given wisdom and Vohu Mana”, please take the time to look up these two glaring blasphemies.  At least, the Ahmai Raescha prayer can be found in all Khordeh Avestas. 

One more thing, in exercising Vohu Mana, please remember that it took Zarathushtra close to 10 years to find the “truth”!  Even he had to go looking for it!!  It was not given to him on a silver platter!!

ZOROASTRIANISM IS DEAD – LONG LIVE THE JAFAREYIAN CULT

Fellow Zarathushtis:

Today is a sad day for the Zarathushtis of North America. We are no longer represented by a Zarathushtrian body. Rather, our leaders have just abdicated our rights as Zarathushtis to the Jafareyian Cult and we have all been secunded into the Jafareyian Assembly.

We, in North America, through the insidious and covert actions of the FEZANA leadership, have just elected Ali Akbar Jafarey to the rank of SUPREME CULT LEADER. Further, we must stop calling ourselves Zarathushtis – we are now JAFAREYITES. The Cult of Jafareyism has succeeded in destroying the last vestiges of our Zarathushti religion, heritage and tradition in North America.

We also now belong to a new body, Federation of JAFAREYIAN CULTIC Associations of North America (FEJCANA). Each individual North American Association will now be mandated to do exactly as FEJCNA demands. Blind obedience and unquestioning loyalty to the SUPREME CULT LEADER will be required from all individual Associations.

Zarathushti leaders have succumbed to the will of the "Jafareyian Storm Troopers (Dina McIntyre, Yezdi Rustomji, Meher Amalsad, Shahriar Shahriari, Maneck Daroowala and Shahrokh Mehta). They have been able to prove that persistent lies, distortions, threats and terrorism do succeed. These "Jafareyian Storm Troopers" have, through their vicious propaganda machine, done an excellent job in bullying and haranguing the Zarathushtis into accepting the LIES of Jafarey over the TRUTH of Zarathushta. The silence of the passive, quiet majority has been interpreted by the "Jafareyian Storm Troopers" and the defunct, FEZANA leadership, as tacit approval to execute the coup.

Now let us look forward to what we can expect in the future.
1.    Ali Jafarey will feel free to destroy all vestiges of the Zoroastrianism Tradition by expurgating all that HE finds obnoxious. He has already partially succeeded in doing so.
2.    There will be no more Zarathushti rituals or ceremonies, because the SUPREME CULT LEADER does not believe in any – he has already so stated.
3.    There will be no more Zarathushti priests, again because the SUPREME CULT LEADER has pronounced that even Zarathushta was not a priest.
4.    The Khorda Avesta will be banned and all copies of the book will be ordered destroyed, because the SUPREME CULT LEADER believes that it is the dastardly work of obnoxious priests.
5.    The prayers that have faithfully been handed down to us by our priest, for the past 3000 years, will all be relegated to the garbage heap, to be replaced by Jafareyian interpretations and renderings – he has already changed prayers to suit his purpose.
6.    The rude and crude "Jafareyians-by-Choice" (Alexander Bard and Ronald de la Vega) along with the "Jafareyian Storm Troopers" are going to be the SUPREME CULT LEADER's principle advisors and will be telling us how to practice our religion. They will be within the Jafarey inner circle advising him on how to DICTATE to us how to believe, and what to believe in.
7.    This group will forever remove the last traces of Zoroastrianism from North America. They will succeed where Islam failed – they will destroy what little Zoroastrianism we have left that survived the Islamic sword and Jizya tax.

Think the above is far fetched? The future is with us now. Each of the above  has already happened.
