Dastur Jamshed Ervad Sohrab Kukadaru Saheb was a pious Parsi Zoroastrian priest of Mumbai, India. He was born on 26 May 1831 in Surat, Gujarat, India. The day as per the Zoroastrian calendar was Yazdegerdi Mah (month) Ava, Roj (day) Zamyad. The Indian Gujarati term ‘Saheb’ (respected sir) is added to his name as a mark of respect. He is revered among the Zoroastrian Parsi community in India and overseas and is considered to be a saint by many in the community. His life was filled with miraculous events which have been documented extensively in Gujarati as well as English. Dasturji Saheb died on 4 January 1900 on the Yazdegerdi calendar day Behram in the month of Fravardin. 〔Michael Stausberg and Ramiyar P. Karanjia, “Kukadaru, Jamshedji Sorab,” Encyclopaedia Iranica Online, June 23, 2008, available at www.iranicaonline.org.〕 ==Life of Dasturji Kukadaru== When Dasturji Kukadaru Saheb moved from Surat to the larger city of Mumbai, he became a Panthaki (priest) of Kapawala Agiary (Fire-Temple) at Nizam Street, Baharkot. Dasturji Kukadaru Saheb lived a simple life. He used to wash his own clothes and ate only one meal a day which consisted of rice and ghee (clarified butter). He used to cook it by keeping a vessel of rice in the rays of the sun and reciting the sacred Avestan verses. He did not eat meat, and only consumed milk and fruits. Dasturji Kukadaru Saheb made a number of predictions that came true, such as the deaths of Empress Victoria of England and other personalities in India at that time. 〔Ervad Burjor H.
