Bahman Ameshāspand Parabh

In the pantheon of Zoroastrian Divinities, Bahman Ameshāspand ranks next to Ahura Mazda Himself! Bahman is an Ameshāspand or Amesha Spenta (translated as Bountiful Immortal or Arch Angel) who is the guardian of Ahura Mazda’s Good Creation of Animals – particularly Goshpands like cow, goat, sheep, etc. It is for this reason that devout Parsis abstain from eating meat throughout the entire month of Bahman. Even those who do not observe fasting from meat for the whole month trying to avoid eating meat on Bahman Roj of Bahman Mah the days dedicated to Bahman’s Hamkara (co-workers) – Mohor, Gosh, and Ram.

You are cordially invited for the Bahman Ameshāspand Parabh celebration at our ZAC center. There will be a brief talk on revering Bahman Ameshāspand in our everyday life in order to thrive by our very own ZAC Youth coordinator Dr. Armaiti May

You may attend in person as long as you wear a mask and maintain social distancing, 20 devotees will be allowed at a time to enter Atash Kadeh.
