It has been a long time since I made a Learn Farsi post. Following are months of the Iranian calendar in Farsi:

Iranian calendar is an astronomical solar calendar and and one of the longest chronological records in history. The first day of the year is the first day of Spring (approximately March 21st of each year). For that reason, Iranian months don’t exactly correspond to different months in Gregorian calendar.

The corresponding days are estimates and not very accurate. Following are some good resources:

• Iranian Calendar
• Iranian Calendar application on Google tools.
• Iranian Calendar Firefox add-on.

Saadi is a world known Persian (Iranian) poet. He lived 1184 to 1283 (According to Wikipedia). One of his most famous poems is the following:

Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.

If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain.

If you have no sympathy for human pain,
The name of human you cannot retain.
I have seen many claiming that the above poem is actually written on top of the entrance of United Nations headquarters in New York City. However I haven’t seen any pictures or evidence of it.

Either way it is a powerful poem and one more time reminds us that we are all humans. The dead everywhere in the world hurt as much as the dead here in America.? Let’s value human life the same everywhere.
