Hello,
Can any one tell me the importance or significance of Barpori beej.
Thank you
Importance Barpori Beej
According to my understanding, the Bar Pohori Beej existed from the time of Pir Shams or from before. The fast of Bar Pohor became compulsory at the time of Pir Hassan Kabirdeen and later instead of Bar Pohor (36 hours) became a day (12 hours) fast. In order to gain the benefit of the promise made to Pir Hassan Kabirdeen (see Anant Akhado), it became necessary to fast that day in remembrance of the promise but the fast was not compulsory for those who did not wish to be part of that agreement.
The way this fast was conducted was in 3 parts of 12 hours each. After each 12 hours, Ismailis would partake in Abe Safa and Sukrit.
