 BOOK OF EFFICACIOUS NIRANGS
(from Gujarati script to Roman script)
The above mentioned book was published in Gujarati
script about twenty years back, and thereafter several
editions were published with additional Nirangs.

NECESSARY EXPLANATIONS REGARDING

NIRANGS
It is necessary to give some explanations and
guidance to our dear co-religionists regarding the
Nirangs contained in this book. These Nirangs are
prayers culled from Pazand or Avesta, and prefixed and
suffixed by Avesta prayers.
The term ‘Nirang’ or ‘Niruk’ occurs in Pahlavi and
Persian languages, and means “strength, ability, power”.
However, the word is also used in a wider sense for
“short efficacious prayers”, “new things”, and “miracles”.
It is necessary to know that the recitation of Nirangs
is beneficial to the body, mind, and the soul. To get the
full benefit the reciter should pray it with devotion, full
faith in Ahura Mazda, and with due observance of rules
of ethics, piety, concentration, food, and mode of living.
The Nirangs should not be considered a substitute for
the Avesta prayers given in the Khordeh Avesta.
Nirangs can be recited for the benefit of self or others.
If the reciter of Nirangs observes rules of ethics, piety,

7
concentration, food, and mode of living, he/she will get
physical, mental, and spiritual benefits due to the effects
of the prayer’s colours, and vibrations, as these Nirangs
are culled out ‘ESSENCES’ from larger longer prayers by
sages and spiritual leaders.
In present times, several Zoroastrians suffer from
physical and mental ailments. During troubled times,
unawares of the great treasures lying in their own
religion due to absence of proper understanding and
guidance, they turn towards beliefs and teachings of
other religion, visit their holy places and submit
themselves to fake charlatans. Such misguided, misled
Zoroastrians should pray their own Avesta prayers,
which will definitely benefit them if prayed devotedly
with full faith.
I make a fervent and humble appeal to my fellow
Zoroastrians that they should turn to prayers like the
Nirangs, from their own religion, and pray them with
piety and full faith to alleviate their physical and mental
sufferings. A Zoroastrian born in the Zoroastrian faith
derives much benefit and solace by reciting Zoroastrian
prayers on the basis of the ‘Jhiram’ of Zoroastrian
religion.

NEED FOR PUBLISHING NIRANGS IN ENGLISH

SCRIPT:
For last several years, particularly after formation of
Maharashtra state, some devout Zoroastrians are unable
to read Avesta prayers published in Gujarati script
leading to an urgent demand for publishing them in the

8
Roman script. My ever helpful friend Ervad Keki
Dosabhai Panthaki’s wife Perin willingly carried out the
task of preparing the book of Nirangs in Roman Script,
without any financial gain for which she deserves our
sincere congratulations and gratitude.
The Nirangs were initially published in GujArati by
the learned scholar late Ervad Phiroz Shapurji Masani
(Solicitor) several years back. About twenty years ago,
the late Mr. Parvez D. Chinoy, owner of Union Press,
extended a helping hand in re-publishing some of these
Nirangs. Mr. Parvez Chinoy passed away in 1990, and
the work of publishing this book was continued by his
worthy son Rohinton, who too passed away very
recently.
The entire credit for preparing and publishing this
book of Nirangs in Roman script should go to my friend
Ervad Keki D. Panthaki. Before I conclude, I would like
to thank Mrs. Rohinton Chinoy of Union Press, Mrs.
Perin Keki Panthaki, Ervad Burjor R. Panthaki, Ervad
Dr. Ramiyar P. Karanjia, and others who have extended
a helping hand in seeing this work through.
If, by praying these Nirangs with devotion and
sincerity, any benefit is derived by my co-religionists, I
would consider that the aim of publishing this book has
been fulfilled.

SHAH FARIDUN’S NIRANG

(One should, if possible, on every Behram roj offer a
piece of sandal wood (sukhar), light a diva, and ask
forgiveness for one’s sins, and promise to try and live a
life of “Ashoi” (righteousness) and useful life.
Shah Faridun’s Nirang helps to ward away evil
spirits, black magic, and the bad stars of our
horoscope, and helps us in giving Good Health, our
Daily Bread, and fulfil our wishes. This prayer should

Khudavind khavind
Khudavind tu khavind tu parvardegar,
Namuj tari dadgahe namuj khaksaar.
Thayo roj akher sharu thai chhe raat,
Tane raaji raakhvane hu chhu pachhat.
Dayalu’ khudavind jagat na re baap,
Daya kar mane saaru dahpan tu app.
Ke bhulo sudharun havey roj roj,
Bhalai vadharun karu nitya khoj,
Bhalu hakma mara te jaanu nahi,
Bhaiu je mane te tu jaane sahi.
Bahu aajiji thi namine khuda,
Karu chhu dua aashisho de sada.
Ke tari madadthi hu rakhu vivek,
Manashni, gavashni, kunashni je nek.
Mane pasbaanima tari suvad,
Bhala kaamo karva savaarey uthad.
