Prayer book in Devanagari

Parsi parents choose to send their children to convent schools where English, Marathi and Hindi are taught. As a result, the children do not learn Gujarati. To help such persons to pray, a prayer book in Hindi has been reprinted in 2015 by the Parsee Vegetarian and Temperance Society. The book contains 18 Yashts written in the Devanagari script and was first published by Arjasp F. Taraporewala of Madras in 1982.
Being in the Devanagari script, the book provides the correct pronunciation of prayers. It is available at Minoi Meher sandalwood shop near the Anjuman Atash Behram at Dhobi Talao, Bombay 400002; the sandalwood shop outside the Aslaji Agiary, near Shapur Baug, Vithalbhai Patel Street, Bombay 400004; and at the Parsee Vegetarian and Temperance Society, 30-B, RPI (Vatsa) House, 4th floor, Janmabhoomi Marg, Fort, Bombay 400001.
