Dae Mah Parabh

The month of Dae is dedicated to the Supreme Amesha Spenta, Dadar Hormuzd – The Creator, Dae Dadar. It is a month of thanksgiving to the Creator and one way in which gratitude is ritually expressed is by performing Jashan ceremonies either at home, at the office, or at an Aatash Behram/Agyari.

It is considered most meritorious to perform Jashan on each of the four special days of this month (Day One – Hormuzd, Day Eight – Dae Adar, Day Fifteen – Dae Meher and Day Twenty three – Dae Deen) which are dedicated to the Supreme Creator and the Yazata having the Creator’s aspect, presiding over a fire (Dae-pa Adar), light and justice (Dae-pa Meher) and the religion (Dae-pa Deen). Each of these four days is referred to as Jashan of Dadvah (Creator).
