‘Luminous
Mothers: Martyr Kamran Ganji According to His Mother’ is the title of a
biographical book on the first Iranian Zoroastrian martyr during the
Sacred Defense.
According to navide shahed correspondent, quoting from the public relations office of Ravayat-e
Fath Publications, three new books centered on the biography of the
martyrs of the eight years of the sacred defense were recently published by this institute. They are: ‘Luminous Mothers:
Martyr Kamran Ganji According to His Mother’, ‘People Don’t Die in My
Frame’, and ‘Lifeline for Privacy’ published by Ravayat-e Fath
Publications.
Kamran Ganji was martyred at sare pole zahab in west Iran, during the third week of the war. Narrated by his mother, his biography was authored by Hossein Goldoust.
In the introduction of the book, we read: "It is the story of a young brave man of Zoroastrian faith who fought alongside his fellow Muslim brothers and won the honor
of martyrdom. The narrator of the story is a heartbroken mother who
continued her honored life after the death of her only son and took
comfort in serving her fellow citizens to relieve her sadness.”
In a part of the book we read: "Sometimes in my lonely hours I think of
the day when Kamran and I were in the kitchen after he’d returned from
school and was having lunch. As we were talking with each other, he told
me that his religious studies teacher, had told them that God has
created the man on the earth to test him. And that we are all in the
presence of God and are watched by him.”
"I stared into his eyes at that moment. He was then only thirteen or
fourteen. His face was lit by the light of faith and confidence. He
believed in what he said with all his being. I still think of those eyes
and that strange brightness every day. I’m sure that he was proud to
win the God’s test in the killing field of Sarpol-e Zahab.”
