4. Zoroastrian Religious Calendar
   Three versions of the zoroastrian calendar from the most ancient to more modern calendars.  
   http://www.avesta.org/zcal.html
   
   Extractions: Avesta Zoroastrian Archives Contents Prev zcal.htm Next Glossary The religious calendar is a matter of some controversy among Zoroastrians. There are currently three main calendars in use: Fasli, Shahanshahi, and Qadimi. The oldest Zoroastrian calendar ('Old Avestan') was evidently a seasonal one, but it is not clear how it was kept in harmony with the seasons. In later years ('Younger Avesta' and Sasanian times) the prescribed method was to add a month every 120 years, but none of the three modern calendars follow this tradition. Cf. Denkard 3, chapter 419 and Bundahishn chapter 25. FASLI ('seasonal'): A religious calendar which is kept in harmony with the seasons by intercalculating one day every four years, patterned after the Gregorian calendar. Naw Ruz (New Year's Day) is fixed on March 21. SHAHANSHAHI (or Shenshai): The calendar of many Parsee Zoroastrians, including some of the more influential Dasturs (High Priests). It is based on a religious calendar which was theoretically synchronized with the seasons by intercalculating a month every 120 years, but the intercalculation was not consistently followed. Naw Ruz was observed on August 23, 1995. A recent proposal would reform the Shahanshahi calendar by bringing it back into harmony through the intercalculation of whole months. QADIMI ('ancient'): In 1746 a group of priests and laymen in Surat adopted the Irani calendar on the assumption that it represented an older tradition. The Qadimi calendar is one month ahead of the Shahanshahi.

10. Zarathustra
    zoroastrians in India are called Parsis.  
    http://www.zoroaster.net/indexe.htm
    
    Extractions: At present time there are about 200/000 Zoroastrians throughout the world. Most of the worlds Zoroastrians, who are about 100/000, are living in India and they are called Parsis. Due to the Arabs' invasion of Iran, which was cruel (_See Koran Sura 9 “Al Tauba “ Ayeh 5 and 29 and 123 ) , most Parsis left their own country, and emigrated to India in the ninth century. Even, at present time, if Iranians are asked about Zoroastrians identity, most of them will answer, those people are fire worshipers and like Jews and other pagans and Christians are unclean people ( See Koran Sura 9 Ayeh 28 ). In western countries also, the people are not quite familiar with Zoroastrian philosophy. When they are heard of Zarathustra, they are reminded of “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” written by celebrated German philosopher, Nietzsche. Therefore, it can be rightly said that Zoroastrian philosophy, which was the main religious belief system of ancient Iranians and for about several hundred years was the basis of the Iranian culture and their life style, now is almost forgotten. Therefore, our purpose is to fathom this aged Zoroastrian culture, in order to recognize the truth of such a rich philosophical faith, which has been the foundation of the ancient Iranian civilization, and thus try to repudiate the incorrect pre-judgements against it. Is Zoroastrian Monotheism Philosophy or Religion in History?

A special meeting of the Ontario Zoroastrian Community Foundation was held on June 4, 2005 at the Ramada Hotel in Etobicoke. This meeting was held after an open house site visit of 1187 Burnhamthorpe Road East property in Oakville, held earlier between the hours of 9:30 am until 11 am, where members of the community viewed the proposed site of the future home of the OZCF, and the object of the community's dream and vision. The Board of Directors demonstrated the diligent pursuit of the directors in taking the community to the first step of searching an appropriate site to build the foundation of our community. President Phil Sidhwa introduced the metrics set out by the Board to find a suitable site, based on various factors, and how they have been searching for a piece of land for this venture. It is with delight, that he presented pictures of the proposed site and explained how this site fit every metric set out by the community's representative Board. Various respected members of the community then expressed their delight, joy and overwhelming support of the board and the choice of the proposed site.

12. Zoroastrian And Parsis In Science Fiction
    List of references to zoroastrianism and Parsis in mainstream science fiction novels.  
    http://www.adherents.com/lit/sf_zor.html
    
    Extractions: The Diamond Age This annotated bibliography list, a subset derived from the Adherents.com Religion in Literature database, is intended as a resource for literary research. It lists mainstream science fiction and fantasy novels, short stories and movies (speculative fiction) which contain references to Zoroastrianism. These include references to Parsis and to Zarathustra/Zoroaster. This list is not comprehensive, but it does list all Hugo- and Nebula-winning novels with Zoroastrian references. This list does not include every reference to Zoroastrianism within each work. Each novel or story is listed only once, with a brief explanation or sample quote. Most works include only one reference, which is given. If a work contains multiple references, this is noted in the listing. Zoroastrianism is mentioned rarely within science fiction, and when it is mentioned, it is usually only in passing. The Adherents.com sf/f index has only three works which have extensive references to Zoroastrians (titles in bold).
