This can only be done by re-orienting the religious teachings in their sense. We all believe that education begins at home. There are no magic formulas for raising children but our purpose as a parent should be to help our children to be their own parent. Therefore, with a view to strengthen the roots of our religion, we need to focus our attention on family ties and parent-child communication as emphasized in Zarathushtrianism. The choice is entirely ours.
Parents indeed play a central role during the formative days of their children.
Hence it is of vital importance that today s parents take the initiative to correctly educate and encourage their children with proper Zarathushtri way of life as they do so with them in their academic pursuits. This approach will certainly arrest the mood of apathy and indifference of our youth towards religion and religious dictates. A distinct attitudinal difference is evident between the different generations towards the future of the community and it s religion. The religionists or the traditionalist feel that those seeking self-advancement should not seek to change the religious rituals, tarikats and traditional practices to suit their convenience. In contrast, the reformists feel that some of the religious rules and principles are outdated and inappropriate and therefore must be dispensed with.
