Quotes
So they say
"In the 1950s, in Udvada, all 7-9 yazeshne/baj areas were occupied daily and one had to wait in line to get a place ('iindhoro') to perform a yazeshne or baj. Last year, when I was there during Adar mah, maybe one of those places was used for a baj ceremony. No yazeshne ceremony was performed except for the navar initiation of my brother's grandson. Almost all the agiaries in India are facing the same situation. In my village of Tarapur, there was a yazeshne performed almost every day by my two uncles. Now, no one uses this area. These once important inner liturgies are becoming extinct in many places. They are no longer performed regularly everywhere in India, and of course, outside of India, they may never be performed in their original format."
