Translation:
“O Sraosha Yazata, O Mithra Yazata, O just Rashn, we release him into your care. Take his hand and lead him to the realm of the ancestors—the righteous, the noble, and the pure…”
The passing of Mobed Firoozgari is a profound loss for the Zoroastrian community. He was a man of deep kindness and great spirit, always generous with his time and wisdom. His endless compassion and willingness to answer even the most difficult questions will be remembered with gratitude. May his soul find joy in the spiritual realm. So shall it be.
