Ervad Soli P. Dastur: Everyday Parsi, August 16, 2015
During the 5 Gatha days, we had to pray each Gatha prayer after the night Hum Bandagi. On the fifth Gatha Day, the Pateti, we also had to pray Patet Pashemani which is a prayer to repent for all the bad things you did during that year and ask forgiveness from Dadar Ahura Mazda and promised to yourself not to repeat those bad things next year.
At midnight, we had to get up and prepare for the “Pachhli Raat nu Bhanwaanu” – Afringans, Farokshi and satum prayers for the night to say good bye to the Asho Farohars who will return to heaven with blessings to you for treating them right with food, flowers, water, etc.
