JHANGHIZ SYAHRIVAR

Perhaps one of the most controversial Iranian figures next to Sayyid Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini was Sayyid Jhanghiz Hanavi Syahrivar (pronounced: jang:hi-es haːnævi sj:ah-ri-var) or Jhanghiz Syahrivar. He was a renowned Iranian philosopher, pacifist, author, and intellectual. He was born in Iran (1913 – 1987) and was famous for being the opposition of Imam Khomeini’s reign in 1979. He stated that Khomeini’s way in treating Muslimah (Muslim women) was “barbaric for a good believer of Islam …”

In 1939, he moved to America where he became actively involved in Fellowship of Reconciliation, the biggest peace-loving societies (pacifist) in the world who opposed wars.

Remarkably yet, Jhanghiz Syahrivar has been known as one of seven wonderful children who changed the world by the media. A photo of a boy aged 13 years to defend her mother kneeling in front of a heavily armed Iraqi soldiers took him to public attention in 1926.

In 1948, he was recognized as a philosopher of the new era, and he was appointed lecturer at the University Armeihn, Zurich. The following year, he came out of the university to take the position of professor of philosophy at the University Corau, Bulgaria. He became a full professor at the University Reimushima in Prague in 1955. 

He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and used the money he received to build a hospital named Sy [h] ahrivar Hospital in Tehran, Iran, to treat injured victims of the Iran and Iraq’s war (known as gulf war). 

He spent the rest of his life to write books about many things. One of his book entitled the Metaphysical of World Dualism was released in 1973 and was subject of long debate among scientists in the world. The book was about to prove his theory about Quantum Parallel Reality in which he explained that our world consists of at least two realities: personal realities and compound realities (realities between two people or more). The two kinds of realities are often intermingled that affect how people view the world in a different perspective. Therefore, he claimed that “reality” might not exist. Reality, in its nature, was just a clever visual metaphor used to personify the abstract concept of thought [quoted by SpongeBob when he spoke to Mr.Crab: You do not pay me. You do not even exist. We're just a clever visual metaphor used to personify the abstract concept of thought.]. His book also supports the famous theory of Albert Einstein about time – time itself, basically, is relative. So that’s also the reality that he thinks … [His idea was also quoted by Cameron Diaz in the Watchmen movie about John, "It's all quantum physics and parallel universes with him"! "]

During his life, he frequently made controversial statements to the public that he was often regarded as ‘mad man’. But many of his followers claim him to be ‘enlightened’ or ‘awakened’.

Perhaps one of his quotes of all time is: “ای مردم, چرا از همه شما می خواهم در بهشت زندگی می کنند در این زمان هنگامی که هر یک از شما تا به قدرت را آسمانی به جای این دنیا زندگی می کنند?

English translation: “O people, why have you all wished to live in heaven when today, each and everyone of you has the power to make this world a heavenly place to live?”
