Education Program for the Youth in Mumbai
Hi folks,
This is a pivotal moment for us as a community. With one in every 3 Parsis marrying outside the fold, raging debates on every issue from dokhmenashin to mixed marriages, and soul-dead iconoclasts tinkering with our traditions, the future of the next generation of Parsi/irani Zarthostis looks bleak. Most of these mindless debates are a product of our flagrant ignorance.
There is an urgent need to create a mass cultural awareness program, and educate the next generation of Parsis about our beautiful religion, our glorious history & culture. A need to bring our brethren closer to their roots.
It is with this vision, that Khojeste Mistree and 'Zoroastrian Studies' have started an educational program for the youth. All you have to do is devote ONE HOUR in a week, and attend this seminar. This is NOT going to be a boring lecture for an audience in the 70+ age group. It is a highly interactive seminar specially designed for a young crowd.
At the end of this program, we hope to gather enough volunteers to start a much wider educational campaign, targeted for pre-navjote kids/pre-teens, across all baughs and colonies. We are fortunate to have an army of world renowned scholars in the traditionalist camp, who are ready to share their knowledge for FREE. All we have to do is take the first step.
The first meet is on 20th November (Thursday) at 7:30 pm. Venue: Shaanazeen bldg., Khareghat colony, Hughes Road. Subsequent meets will be held over the weekends, after a general consensus on timing is taken, so as to suit everyone's time-table.
