Excerpt from The Teaching of Zarathushtra: Eight Lectures and Addresses Delivered to Parsis in Bombay
An address delivered to Parsis at the Bengali School Hall Friday, February 1lth, 1916.
I find it hard to express the feelings with which I come to address this large and representative meeting of Parsis. My interest in your community began thirty years ago, when as an undergraduate I began the study of the Avesta under my venerated guru, Professor Cowell, Professor of Sanskrit in Cambridge University. That great Orientalist, and great and good man, deserved well of Iranian as well as of Indian studies. It was he who taught his friend Edward Fitz Gerald Persian, and put in his hands that Persian poem of Omar Khaiyyam, which in his interpretation was to pass from the masterpieces of Asia to take its place among the masterpieces of British literature.
