A GLOBAL INITIATIVE TO SUPPORT THE LEGACY OF PAK IRANSHAH ATASHBEHRAM IN UDVADA – OUR PRICELESS AND TIMELESS HERITAGE
TOGETHER Let Us Create An Inner Desire To Support Our Sacred Fire
EDUCATION – INSPIRATION – DONATION
The sleepy village of Udvada is poised for its rightful place on the global map of renowned religious, historical and cultural sites with improved infrastructure, enhanced facilities and better security. This would be in keeping with it’s now officially recognized status of a global heritage village, bestowed by the government of India. The Udvada Atash Bahram is the oldest consecrated fire temple of the highest grade in India; and represents the historical, cultural, spiritual and religious bond with our Motherland Iran.
The divine flame of Iranshah Udvada is one of the oldest and holiest fire that is revered by Zartoshtis across the globe since over a millennium.
Let us join hands together
- To keep this flame live and alive
- For the benefit of our future generation
- Through Education, Inspiration & Donation
OUR MISSION
To make Udwada the global centre for showcasing OUR Zoroastrian heritage, culture and way of life
OUR VISION
To provide a continuous stream of global financial support to perpetuate the Legacy Of Iranshah Udvada – Our Precious And Timeless Heritage
OUR 5-STAR PURPOSE
TO PRESERVE the Sanctity Of Iranshah by honoring, helping and supporting all those who take care of this great spiritual power-house with utmost dedication and selfless commitment, especially our senior and respected Mobed sahibs who have dedicated their entire lives towards serving OUR Sacred Iranshah with impeccable sincerity, devotion, dignity and integrity.
TO CREATE a monetary incentive for our present Mobed Sahibs and to inspire our future Mobeds to pursue the noble profession of Mobedi as a career. This is of vital importance for the survival and revival of OUR Sacred Iranshah.
A great scholar had once said: “no priest, no religion or religious institution”.
TO KEEP the flame alive by providing firewood (Kathi). The Kathi Fund needs to be increased substantially to meet the rising cost of Kathi.
TO MAINTAIN the structure that houses our holiest fire. OUR Sacred Iranshah, which is over a thousand years old, and the building in which Iranshah is enthroned; requires periodic infrastructure updates as well as major renovations every 10-12 years.
TO PROVIDE round the clock (24/7/365) Security Service for the premises of OUR Sacred Iranshah.
In addition, we also need the voluntary services of devoted and sincere Parsi helpers to keep the premises clean, tidy and presentable for the local, national and global devotees/pilgrims who visit Udvada to pay their homage to OUR Sacred Iranshah.
OUR MOTTO
Together, Let Us Create An Inner Desire, To Support Our Sacred Fire
