Zoroastrianism
I. Introduction
Zoroastrianism, religion founded in ancient Persia by the prophet Zoroaster . The doctrines preached by Zoroaster are preserved in his metrical Gathas (psalms), which form part of the sacred scripture known as the Avesta
II. Tenets
The basic tenets of the Gathas consist of a monotheistic worship of Ahura Mazda (the “Lord Wisdom”) and an ethical dualism opposing Truth (Asha) and Lie, which permeate the entire universe. All that is good derives from, and is supported by, Ahura Mazda's emanations: Spenta Mainyu (the “Holy Spirit” or “Incremental Spirit,” a creative force) and his six assisting entities, Good Mind, Truth, Power, Devotion, Health, and Life. All evil is caused by the “twin” of Spenta Mainyu, who is Angra Mainyu (the “Fiendish Spirit”; Persian. Ahriman), and by his assistants.

Links If you have any comments or require any further information please contact: Shapour Suren-Pahlav An Introduction to: THE ZARATHUSHTRIAN RELIGION Year of the Proclamation of the "Daenâ Vanuhi" (Good Religion), by the Prophet Zarathushtra "Zoroastrianism is the oldest of the revealed world-religions, and it has probably had more influence on mankind, directly and indirectly, than any other single faith." - Mary Boyce Introduction Zarathushtra Spitama was the first prophet to teach monotheism, the belief in one God. He preached a new doctrine of goodness and retribution. And he gave the world the triple motto of Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds.
Zarathushtra's complete name is Zarathushtra Haechataspa Spitama. "Zoroaster" is the most current of various Greek forms of his first name. He was born around 1768 BCE in the northeastern part of the Iranian Plateau.
Zarathushtra proclaimed one Omniscient, Omnipotent God as the creator, sustainer and promoter of the universe. His teachings explain how God's divine attributes are reflected in the universe and in our living world. He advises people to acquire and cultivate divine attributes, particularly "good mind" and righteousness; to elevate themselves in harmony with God and to listen to God's guiding voice within them; to be creative and progressive; to work in harmony with nature in creating an ever-better world; to establish a universal fellowship in an ideal society chosen by the people for peace and prosperity; to attain perfection and immortality; and to become godlike and live in divine happiness for ever after.

The Avesta is the holy book of the adherents of Zarathustra, the Zoroastrians or -as they call themselves today- Parsi's. The Avesta was codified c.600 CE, but this library of sacred texts contains older material, such as the 's . These hymns were probably written in the fourteenth or thirteenth century BCE, almost two millennia before the codification of the Avesta, and most scholars think that they were composed by the prophet Zarathustra himself. In a vision ( more ), he was ordered by a spirit named Good Thought to start preaching against the bloody sacrifices of the traditional Iranian cults and to give aid to the poor. Gradually, the prophet began to understand that Good Thought had been sent by the supreme god Ahuramazda, a name that can be translated as Wise Lord. Zarathustra sometimes addresses his god as Ahura , lord, and as Mazda , wisdom.

THE BEGINNINGS OF ZOROASTRIANISM
  • The word Zoroastrianism is derived from the name of Zoroaster, the Greek form of the prophet Zarathushtra's name. Zoroastrianism is also known as Zarathushtrianism and as Mazdayasni Zarthushti/ Zartoshti. The founder of Zoroastrianism was the prophet Zarathushtra who lived in North Eastern Iran, according to some in the community around 6,000BCE, whilst other Zoroastrians and many external academics argue for a period around 1,200BCE. Zarathushtra was a zaotar, or priest, within his country's traditional religion. But at the age of thirty he received a vision which led to his proclamation of a prophetic message based on ethical imperatives and experiential religion.

    Zoroastrianism
    Back to India Religion Table of Contents According to the 1991 census, there were 79,382 members of the Zoroastrian faith. Some 79 percent lived in Maharashtra (primarily in Bombay) and most of the rest in Gujarat. Zoroastrians are primarily descendants of tenth-century immigrants from Persia who preserved the religion of Zoroaster, a prophet of Iran who taught probably in the sixth century B.C. Although the number of Parsis steadily declined during the twentieth century as a result of emigration and low birth rates, their religion is significant because of the financial influence wielded by this mostly trading community and because they represent the world's largest surviving group of believers in this ancient faith. The source of Parsi religion is a body of texts called the Avesta , which includes a number of sections in archaic language attributed to Zoroaster himself, and which preserve the cult of the fire sacrifice as the focus of ritual life. The supreme spirit is Ahura Mazda (or Ohrmazd), whose will is manifest in the world through the actions of bountiful immortals or good spiritual attributes that support life and love. Opposing the supreme spirit is the force of evil, Angra Mainyu (or Ahriman), which is the cause of all destruction and corruption in the world. Equipped with free will, humans can choose sides in this struggle and after death will appear at the bridge of judgment. People who choose to do good deeds go to heaven, those who commit evil go to hell. The opposed cosmic forces battle through the history of the universe, until at the end of time there will be a final judgment and a resurrection of the dead to a perfect world.

www.virtualani.freeserve.co.uk/ Zoroastrianism became the state religion of Persia in 226 CE, when Ardashir I overthrew the Parthian dynasty and founded the Sassanid Empire. Throughout the Sassanid Empire's 400-year history, Zoroastrianism remained the official religion, and it also developed a distinctly Persian character. The religion was so closely integrated with the Persian identity that very few non-Persians adhered to it, while it was so intertwined with the Sassanid state that the religious bureaucracy collapsed along with the Sassanid Empire in the mid-7th century. The collapse of the Empire at that time came at the hands of invading Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula. Over several centuries, Islam began to gain converts in Persia, and under the Abbasid dynasty in the 8th century it eclipsed Zoroastrianism to become the state religion of Persia. Most Zoroastrians who did not convert to Islam fled to India, which still has the largest concentration of Zoroastrians - now known as Parsis - today. The religion also survives today in small populations in Iran and Afghanistan. Return to Ancient Persia

Introduction
Zoroastrianism is the major ancient, pre-Islamic religion of Iran. It survives there in isolated areas but also, more prosperously, with the Parsees, or Parsis (hence Parsiism), of India, descendants of immigrants who went there from Iran some time after the Muslim conquest. In modern times, a few adherents have transported the religion into the West. For a discussion of the context in which
Zoroastrianism arose, see MIDDLE EASTERN RELIGIONS, ANCIENT: Ancient Iranian religions.
NATURE AND SIGNIFICANCE
The ancient Greeks saw in Zoroastrianism the archetype of the dualistic view of the world and of man's destiny. Zoroaster was supposed to have instructed Pythagoras in Babylon and to have inspired the Chaldean doctrines of astrology and magic. It is likely that Zoroastrianism influenced the development of Judaism and the birth of Christianity. The Christians, following a Jewish tradition, identified Zoroaster with Ezekiel, Nimrod, Seth, Balaam, and Baruch, and even, through the latter, with Christ himself. On the other hand, Zoroaster, as the presumed founder of astrology and magic, could be considered the arch-heretic. In more recent times the study of Zoroastrianism has played a decisive part in reconstructing the religion and social structure of the Indo-European peoples.

What is The Urantia Book?
VIII. ZOROASTRIANISM The Religion of the Free Will Choice Between Good and Evil Zoroastrianism is closely related to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Concepts of Satan, angelology, demonology, a deliverer, future life, Paradise and judgment in these religions may have been directly or indirectly derived from Zoroastrianism. Although it started with the intent of being a voluntarily accepted and universally adopted religion, today it is largely a hereditary faith reporting (1982) 271,000 followers living mostly in India and Iran. The origins of Zoroastrian religion are shrouded in mystery. ' The ancient inhabitants of the Persian region were Aryan nature worshipers who venerated a series of deities known as daevas. Above these minor deities were higher gods among which the most important and popular was Mitra, the god of light, benefactor of cattle and upholder of loyalty and obedience. Part of these Aryans migrated into India which explains why many of the gods and practices of Vedic Hinduism and the ancient Persians are the same. Zoroaster's birth date in uncertain. Tradition says he was pre-existent and born of a fifteen year old virgin in 660 B.C. Many marvels accompanied his birth. His name, Zarathustra Spitama, indicates he was born into a warrior clan that was connected with the royal family of ancient Persia. At fifteen he put on the kusti, a sacred string belt symbolic of his passage into manhood as a member of his religion. He spent years, partially in solitude, searching for answers to religious questions. At the age of thirty Zoroaster had a vision of the angel Vohu Mana,, who appeared nine times the size of a man. The angel told him there was only one true God, Ahura Mazda, and that he was to become the prophet of Ahura Mazda. During the next ten years Zoroaster had other visions in which each of the archangels of Ahura Mazda appeared and revealed further truth to him.

http://www.cultureofiran.com/zoroastrianism.php
Zoroaster and Zoroastrians in Iran First taught amongst nomads on the Asian steppes around 3500 years ago, Zoroastrianism is one of the earliest revealed religions and is of enormous importance in the history of religions. It has links with the ancient Vedic beliefs of India and even possibly to a remote Indo-European past. It has influenced northern Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam and was the state religion in Iran from 6 th century BC to 7 th century AD. Most information about prophet Zoroaster (Zarathushtra, Zardosht), son of Pourushaspa, of the Spitaman family comes from the Gathas, 17 hymns which were composed by the prophet and were preserved over the centuries by the Zoroastrian community. Gathas are inspired passionate utterances many addressed directly to God and their poetic form is the most ancient in Iranian literary works. The language is traced back to Indo-European times through Norse parallels. His teachings were handed down orally from generation to generation. They might have been written down since Parthian period but all that is left is from the Sassanian times, in Middle Persian, also called Pahlavi. Afterlife existed and all mortal souls would be resurrected and then judged. They would be punished or rewarded depending on actions during their lifetime. Departed souls crossed a bridge (Chinvat Bridge in Avesta, Sarat Bridge in Quran) and were questioned by divinities to see if they were worthy of entering Paradise, a sunlit place where all imaginable delights were possible. The sinful and the guilty would fall off the bridge and end in the subterranean kingdom of Hell. The concepts of Hell, a place of torment presided over by Angra Mainyu (Ahriman, Shaytan in Koran); Heaven, resurrection and individual judgement are Zoroaster’s own. These doctrines deeply influenced the later religious developments in the area, i.e. Judo-Christian and Islamic traditions.

Religion of the Week: Zoroastrianism
I read with interest last week that the government was recommending consultation with "faith groups" in the determination of policy issues in the future. As the Guardian put it "officials should consult all relevant groups, including minorities such as Zoroastrians and Pagans, as well as representatives of mainstream religions and secularists, in drawing up policy." Curious as to which policy issues would affect Britain's 10,000 Zoroastrians as a group, and thus require government consultation with them, I decided to do a bit of research. I present it as this Friday's Religion of the Week. Zoroastrianism is one of the earth's older religions. Its founder

Thus spake the real Zarathustra, the prophet and founder of the ancient and modern religion of Zoroastrianism. It has claims to be the world's first monotheistic creed and perhaps as long ago as 1200 BC Zarathustra also said, "I point out the way, it is the truth, it is for all living". Truth is a central tenet of the religion which holds that people must above all do good things, hear good things and see good things.
