Others’ opinions about Orod: Ahmad Shah Massood said “Orod and I were born in a same land. When I read his writings I feel he wrote my wishes”.
Benazir Bhutto said “India and Iran have common myths, culture and history. Because of these subscriptions, I think like Great Orod and Muhammad Iqbal that our countries must be closer”.
Dr. Shabrang Ataei(Afghan researcher and scholar) said “at the time of reunification of Persian culture, we need philosophers like Great Orod and Ahmad Shah Massood. The governments and people of these countries must implement the theories of these two characters of our time”.
Farzaneh Sheyda(Iranian scholar(resident of Norway) and writer of eleven-volume book “Bo’ed-e Sevom-e Arman nameh Hakim Orod-e Bozorg”) said “every person during his life wants his wishes come true and inside himself wants to live by his way; in the way of destiny each man must use Great Orod’s quotes like using a light in black holes and memorizes all words for the time he feels disappointed. Hakim Great Orod is myth of thought”.
Shokuheh Omrani(social activist, poet and translator of Orod’s quotes to French) said “Orod’s thoughts are so superior and I hope his wishes about alliance, solidarity and historical rights come true and that day will be day of Iranians’ glory and return of grandeur of Iran. I’m so glad to translate some parts of Great Orod’s quotes”.
Eliane Ijen Hir(manager of association of art “Art Club” and manager of association “ defense of interests of Shampel” in Geneva- Switzerland) said “I really enjoy when Great Orod speaks about peace for all among his quotes”.
An interesting historical point about Hakim Great Orod by Babak Hematti:In the book “Daneshnam-e Khayyam”, first published in 1998 by “Elm-o Honar publishing co.” and “Seday-e moaser publishing co.”, page 21, there is Hakim Omar Khayyam’s reply to Khaje Bozorg Kashani in Malikshah era: “thousands years must pass and stars should turn around their orbits till a person like Omar Khayam is born.”

As it’s clear, appearance of a sage is not common and natural.
He was interested in writing and drawing from his childhood. He wrote some texts and painted. He bought newspapers with his spending money and read a lot when he was 11 years old. At age 12 he learnt drawing in Ostad Tabrizi’s classes. In his teens, he read some books about philosophy, art, psychology and history in biggest Mashhad library. He just ate a meal every day and lost 8 kilograms during two months. He was staying more than 12 hours in library and writing his new thoughts. After entering to high school and visiting Mohammad Ebrahim Hamidi, he practiced graphic for some years. He tried to mix graphic and philosophy, but after several years he understood people don’t have enough visual literacy and left art and studied architecture, sociology and political science, but left all of them and return to his teen’s desire, philosophy and wisdom. He has many fans in central Asia. Afghans and Tajiks love him and his thoughts.
Dehkhoda dictionary: Orod is one of the Iranian popular fames whoa has Old Continent theory and grand galaxy of thought theory. His hometown is Mashhad but his father was from Shiravan. The book “Arman Nameh” contains his quotes. He has three paintings on wax paper that have same subject “Tajikistan”. He was Ahmad Shah Massood’s nearest friend. He has a lot of fans in central Asia specialy in Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
Some important parts of Great Orod’s speech in Gorgan UniversityWe shouldn’t call ourselves oriental, Iranians are not oriental. Also we aren’t Iranian; Iran is located in the center of universe and east and west are on both sides of our land. Greek is “cultural mother of Europe” and China is “cultural mother of Asia” that contains Chinese, Iran is “cultural mother of old continent. The old continent is an area that starts from Pamir and continues to Mediterranean, from north contains Astar Khan and from south includes Persian Gulf and Iran Sea (Oman Sea). Great Orod chose this name.
Hakim alluded to story of killing Iraj, the first mythological king, by his brothers, Salm and Tur that east and west ruled by them. He continued “from the first, our land has been attacked by east and west and today Iraj’s country divided into 20 countries and we should gather them as the old continent to stand in front of avarice of east and west”.
Hakim protested to use “Silk Road” and said for the first time, this word had been used 50 years ago, while China took our culture and civilization by this road that was called “road of Iran” during 4000 years ago. They extracted Confucius and Taoism of our Mithraism mysteries. They translated Shahnameh to chines and changed all names, such as Rostam to Tang.
Hakim Great Orod also said the name of “silk road” is overbearingly and imposing chines culture to others and demanded to change this name.
The second part of Great Orod’s speech was about galaxy of thought theory and by this theory he rejects Mc Luhan’s theory “global village”. He believes western countries wanted to impose their culture by internet, but other countries could transfer their national culture into virtual world and promote their culture.
