Although the journal recited that it was published for the Mazdaznan association in Geneva, it was issued in Paris. In the first issue, the publisher announced that it was happy to once more send the journal, which indicates some predecessor. It consisted largely of translations from the writings of Dr. O.Z. Ha'nish with additional commentary, sheet music of devotional music, and advertisements for his books and the products and foods sold by the Mazdaznan movement.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Mazdaznan (Paris) was the French-language organ of the Mazdaznan movement, appearing quarterly through the 1950s. Mazdaznan, founded by Otoman Zar-Adusht Ha'nish, taught a régime of rhythmic breathing, vegetarian diet and 'harmonious living' under a Zoroastrian-derived cosmology of Mazda-worship. The review's substance is accordingly practical and dietetic — detailed counsel on foods, food-combining, mineral salts and bodily hygiene — set beside a doctrine of cosmic affinity and self-cultivation. Its spiritual vocabulary is cosmological rather than spiritualist, and its mental exercises are breathing-and-concentration disciplines rather than New Thought mind-cure. It stands as a mid-century francophone witness to Ha'nish's health-and-religion synthesis.
