| | Parsi Theosophy |
 | | Parsi theosophical doctrines emphasize the importance of preserving Zoroastrianism for its occult significance, particularly the use of the ancient Avestan language in prayers. | | | Parsi theosophists promote the belief in a personal God. | | | He was profoundly impressed by the Parsi faith and Parsi ritual, and impressed upon the Parsis the need to preserve their rituals in their exact form so as to lose none of their occult meaning. |

| | Parsi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In 1745, the Parsis in and around Surat switched to the Kadmi or Kadimi calendar on the recommendation of their priests who were convinced that the calendar in use in the ancient 'homeland' must be correct. | | | Generally accepted to be a Parsi is a person who a) is directly descended from the original Persian refugees; and b) has been formally admitted into the religion. | | | The definition of who (and who is not) a Parsi is is a matter of great contention within the Zoroastrian community in India. |

| | Parsi Reform Movement |
| | In particular, Parsi reformists such as Maneckji Dhalla (1875-1956) criticised various aspects of ritual practice, including the reciting of prayers by rote in Avestan, and denied 'irrational' elements of the religion. | | | For example, the western-influenced scholar Khojestee Mistry believes he is reinterpreting the religion of Zoroaster in its traditional form; reaffirming orthodox doctrines such as bodily resurrection and the Pahlavi myth of the world renovation. | | | The attempts by Dhalla and other Parsi reformists to present Zoroastrianism in western terms led to both a contradiction of traditional beliefs and an avoidance of doctrines which were unmistakeably Zoroastrian. |

| | Endangered vultures highlight Parsi culture clash - Boston.com |
| | Older members of the small-but-prominent Zoroastrian Parsi community of Mumbai say it usually took only half an hour for the vultures to finish their part of the ritual, cleaning a dead body of flesh deemed to be spiritually contaminated. | | | Parsis also struggled to reach a consensus on other key issues, including marrying outside the faith and conversion, without which modernizers fear the religion will perish. | | | The Parsis, long known for their philanthropy, are caught in a tug-of-war between pragmatism and tradition that goes beyond funerals to questions about conversion and racial purity. |

| | The Parsi Community of India - the Last Bastion of Zoroastrianism in the World Today |
| | Parsis are of ancient Persian descent, and belong to the Indo-European branch of the Aryans. | | | As an ethnic group, Parsis have excelled in a way no other community has and it would seem that their upbringing and strong religious belief may be the reason for this. | | | The authentic, life-celebrating philosophy of the Zoroastrian makes the Parsi's zest for life a refreshing contrast to the moaning and groaning interpretation that many Hindus, Muslims and Christians have given to their own lively traditions. |

| | Are Parsis on a path to self-destruction? |
| | The religion the Parsis follow is Zoroastrianism, founded by the Prophet Zarathustra or Zoroaster. | | | The Parsis are descendents of Persians who sought refuge in India after the Arabs overran ancient Persia (now Iran) in the seventh and eight centuries. | | | And since community leaders are unwilling to accept the children of Parsi mothers and non-Parsi fathers, the only way this will change is if someone goes to court and demands that there be no discrimination on the basis of sex, says Patel. |

| | In India, Parsis also erected "Towers of Silence" the buildings in which they leave their dead to be devoured by vultures - a practice which, strange though it may seem to modern western thinking, has the ancient religious purpose of affirming the equality of all men in death. | | | Although Parsis never surrendered their religious identity, or - in contrast to the ill fated Anglo-Indians - ever became reviled as sycophants of the British, they were eager to absorb British culture and education. | | | The Parsis are a community with a long tradition in public life in India itself. |
