A TRIBUTE TO THE LEADER OF LEADERS MADAM FARANGIS SHAHROKH By: Meher Dadabhoy Amalsad Westminster, California, US
“DEDICATING ONESELF TOTHE SERVICE...AMEN” INNOCENT-MAGNFICENT-PROMINENT Dedicating oneself to the service of Humankind is considered a virtue of an Ashavan. Rawan Shaad Farangis Shahrokh (Yeganegi) has fallen within the category of the Ashavans and has secured Ahura Mazda’s Blessings for a Spiritual Abode closest to HIS LIGHT OF THE LIGHTS. Amen Respected Mobed Mehraban Firouzgary – The High Priest of Iran I firmly believe that: “A Legacy is not what we leave for others but what we leave ‘in’ others.” Our Honorable Madam Farangis Shahrokh has left ‘in us’, a lasting legacy of dedication with passion and compassion. She was passionate about our community and compassionate towards humanity for which I salute her. On February 20, 2010; along with her family members, over 500people gathered at the California 140
Zoroastrian Center in Westminster, California, USA; to honor its founder and celebrate a life well spent in the service of community, society and humanity. She was very well-known among our local, regional, national and global Zarathushti leaders as well as community members. This function was organized by her elder son Parviz Yeganegi, under the able guidance of Arbab Mehraban Bahram Zartoshty and moderated by Sousan Bakhtari. It
