The Efficacy of Covering The Head in Zoroastrianism

I would like to present this theme before my Zoroastrian brethren about the importance of covering the head which is also mandatory along with the Sudra and Kushti in our Zoroastrian religion.
1. The mid-point  head is called ‘ Atash-e-chakra-Lehan’, where outside and inside pollutants (Druj), taking place continuously  through  an entry- exit point which is  the mid portion of the brain.  To prevent these type of pollutants (Druj), covering of your head is very essential, otherwise ‘Tandorusti’, the health of body is not   maintained properly and  so a person is prone to infection or viral infection or any type of diseases.

Inside the body, Druj could be eradicated gradually by performing daily prayers with ‘Ashoi’  &  ‘tarikats’.  And foreign germs – Druj can be prevented from entering the mid-point, while head is covered for 24 hours.

2.  Near the portion of a small brain is  called ‘Atash-e-Khore’ .  With your daily recitation of  ‘Manthravanis,’  the energy point enhances the ‘Aura’  and keep your body fit and healthy.

3. The centre portion of the  brain is  called  ‘Atash-e-Urvajis’ .  It helps the  soul of a Zoroastrian to speed up the spiritual progress, if  dedicated to prayers, performing rites, observing ‘tarikats’  and stressing on good deeds.
4. The centre portion of a forehead is called ‘Atash-e-Dara’  which  sharpens your  memory in order to enhance your intelligence. This will help in your daily routine and also make material progress.
5. The edge of the forehead portion which  is  having energy point called ‘Atash-e-Frehan’.   It reminds us to be wise and gentle and to lead a virtuous life.
These 5 energy points are present in Behdins (Non-priests)  which  are vibrant in nature.

Zoroastrian priests are having the same energy points but they are blessed with the higher calibre of energy points by Asho Spitam Zarathustra.

A child of a priestly family undergoing   ‘Navar’  ceremony  at a tender age  has to encounter  the Barshnum (purification), ceremony.

During the period of   ‘Barshnum,’ a priestly child undergoes, continuously in a state of absolution, i.e.  Freeing himself from all sorts of negativity (Druj) and when this process is being completed at the end of the ‘Barshnum’ ceremony, his Atash-e- urvajis is being activated at the peak level, along with the other four energy points.

Thus, enhancing the  positive state of mind that helps to grasp and understand the ‘Yasnas’, Vandidad, Gathas  and other ceremonies which are to be duly performed by a priest.

With my brief descriptions on the subject, I conclude my article:  Sudra, kushti & head gear are prerequisite and mandatory in Zoroastrianism.
