Untitled

I had first written it for the India Archaeology group ( [IndiaArchaeology]).

I place the text in the public domain.--Malaiya 21:35, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Manuscript

Is there any manuscript of the book on commons or anywhere else online? It would be a nice addition.--Aa2-2004 (talk) 12:54, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sipasian Sect

The Sipasian sect is not only the first one, but also the one described in details. It seems it was not a sect but was a tradition. Azar Kayván is given as a descendant of Mah Abád, and the chief of the sect. Mahabad was the founder of civilization. I suspect "Patna" may be originally Patan in Gujarat which may have become Patna because of copyists error. One of their beliefs seems to be a distinction between the body and soul. "Truly the body is a narrow sepulchre which entombs every spirit". The author met many prominent individuals of the sect. Some Hindus, Muslims and Christian joined the mystical sect. They seem to have advocated austerities, and discouraged eating of flesh. Killing of animals was prohibited, with the exception of animals that are violent. There is reference to temples for the seven planets (Venus to moon) with the planet represented by an idol, and a fire-temple in the front. The author claims that many of famous monuments were originally such temples, and that the black stone originally represented Saturn. There were fire temples in India.
