  “Zarthost-no-Diso, is observed on the 11 th day (Khorshed) of the 10 th month (Dae) to commemorate the death anniversary of our prophet Zarathustra. As per our seasonal or Fasli calendar, it falls on December 26 th each year. He is believed to have died at the age of 77. As per the Shahnameh, it is believed that Zarathustra was killed by a Turanian while he was immersed in his prayers in front of a fire when the Turanians stormed the city of Balkh, North Afghanistan, and one of the main centres of Zoroastrianism.
  

  
  

  As we observe this important anniversary, let us live a life that Zarathustra prescribed. A good, honest, responsible and happy life. Let us follow the path of righteousness as prescribed by him - There is only one path and that is (the path) of Truth. All other paths are not worthy.”
