Books eBooks Forums Zoroastrian Sacred text: About Zoroastrianism:
Ancient religion that originated in Iran based on the teachings of Zoroaster.
Founded in the 6th century BC, it influenced the monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It rejects polytheism, accepting only one supreme god, Ahura Mazda. In early Zoroastrianism, the struggle between good and evil was seen as an eternal rivalry between Ahura Mazda's twin sons, Spenta Mainyu (good) and Angra Mainyu (evil). Later Zoroastrian cosmology made the rivalry between Ahura Mazda himself (by then called Ormazd) and Ahriman. This later cosmology identifies four periods of history; the last began with the birth of Zoroaster.
Zoroastrian practice includes an initiation ceremony and various rituals of purification intended to ward off evil spirits. Fire worship, a carryover from an earlier religion, survives in the sacred fire that must be kept burning continually and must be fed at least five times a day. The chief ceremony involves a sacrifice of haoma, a sacred liquor, accompanied by recitation of large parts of the Avesta, the primary scripture.
Zoroastrianism enjoyed status as an official religion at various times before the advent of Islam, but Zoroastrians were persecuted in the 8th-10th century, and some left Iran to settle in India. By the 19th century these Indian Zoroastrians, or Parsis, were noted for their wealth and education. The small group of Zoroastrians remaining in Iran are known as the Gabars.

Gathas Avesta Beliefs The beliefs of Zoroastrians include:
  • A belief in a single supreme God, Ahura Mazda A belief in Asha , a form of righteous natural law. A belief that a Saoshyant (saviour) will be born of a virgin, the saviour will be from the lineage of Zarathustra. This saviour will raise the dead and pass final judgment on everyone.
One school of thought in the religion believes that there is a cosmic dualism between: Ahura Mazda (the Supreme Being) and an evil spirit of violence and death called Angra Mainyu . This cosmic conflict involves the entire universe and humanity is required to choose which to follow. It is believed that evil and Angra Mainyu will be destroyed at the end of time and Goodness will be universal. Another school of thought within Zoroastrianism believes that the battle between good and evil as an ethical dualism within human consciousness. The symbol for Zoroastrianism is the Faravahar which represents the spirit of human beings. Zoroastrian Practices Ceremonies are performed in front of a sacred fire (fire is the symbol of Ahura Mazda . Worship is comprised of prayers and symbolic ceremonies. There are 7 major Zoroastrian Holy Days:
  • Maidhyoizaremaya (April/May) Maidhyoishema (June/July) Paitshahya (September) Ayathrima (October) Maidhyairya (January) Hamaspathmaedaya, Muktad (March)

ZOROASTRIANISM RELIGION
The first Zoroastrians to enter India arrived on the Gujarati coast in the 10th century, soon after the Arabian conquest of Iran and by the 17th century, most of them had settled in Bombay. Zoroastrian practice is based on the responsibility of every man and woman to choose between good and evil, and to respect God's creations. The religion's founder, Zarathustra, who lived in Iran in 6000 BC was the first religious prophet to expound a dualistic philosophy, based on the opposing powers of good and evil.
Most Zoroastrians can be seen in Bombay today where they are known as Parsees. They have no distinctive dress and few houses of worship. Five daily prayers, usually hymns uttered by Zarathustra and standardized in the religious text Zenda Avesta, are said in the home or the temple, before a fire, which symbolizes the realm of truth, righteousness and order.

Philosophy of Religion Chapter 2. Religions of the World Section 9 . Zoroastrainism A small religious community, which exists mostly in Mumbai, is Zoroastrianism. The follower is called Parsi because the religion arrived in India from Persia. This religion was established by Zarathustra in 6 th or 7 th century BC. The followers of this religion exiled from Iran in the 7 th century AD. because of religious persecutions by the Muslims. They arrived in Gujarat region of India. The Parsis believe in the existence of one invisible God. They believe that there is a continuous war between the good forces (forces of light) and the evil forces (forces of darkness). The good forces will win if people will do good deeds think good and speak well. God is represented in their temples through fire, which symbolizes light. The holiest place for them is the village of Udvada in Gujarat, India. The holy language of the Parsis is an ancient language spoken in Iran, Avesta. The Parsis believe that fire, water, air and earth are pure element to be preserved and therefore they do not cremate or bury their dead ones but leave them on high towers, specially built for this purpose, to be eaten by hawks and crows. The Parsis are less then 0.02% of India's population but their contribution to India is much more than their proportion in India's population. Some Parsis were main figures in establishing the Indian Nationalist movement. They were the pioneers in establishing the modern Indian industry. The rich Parsi families contributed enormously to establish institutions of all kinds in India. Even today some of the bigger finance houses in India belong to followers of this religion.

Based on the divine visions and revelations of Zoroaster, a Persian prophet of the sixth century B.C., this ancient one-god religion has, over the years, influenced basic ideas in Judaism Christianity , and Islam . These basic concepts include good and evil, heaven and hell, and the existence of a supreme being The three wise men, or Magi, of the Christian Bible were probably Zoroastrian: Magi means "priest" in Avestan, the Zoroastrian sacred language. The state religion of ancient Persia , Zoroastrianism is still practiced by followers in Iran, India, and North America. Sacred rituals and rites of passage are important for binding together the small Zoroastrian communities around the world, as is their holy book, the Avesta. Central to this religion is the belief that good and evil are at war with each other, but good will ultimately prevail. It is imperative for each Zoroastrian to aid the victory by practicing good words, good deeds, and good thoughts

PERSIAN zoroastrianism AND RUSSIAN VANDALISM to totally destroy perhaps the oldest relic in the world of zoroastrianismthe AtteshGag of Baku.1
http://www.blavatsky.net/blavatsky/arts/PersianZoroastrianismAndRussianVandalism
PERSIAN ZOROASTRIANISM AND RUSSIAN VANDALISM
F EW persons are capable of appreciating the truly beautiful and esthetic; fewer still of revering those monumental relics of bygone ages, which prove that even in the remotest epochs mankind worshipped a Supreme Power, and people were moved to express their abstract conceptions in works which should defy the ravages of Time. The Vandalswhether Slavic Wends, or some barbarous nation of Germanic racecame at all events from the North. A recent occurrence is calculated to make us regret that Justinian did not destroy them all; for it appears that there are still in the North worthy scions left of those terrible destroyers of monuments of arts and sciences, in the persons of certain Russian merchants who have just perpetrated an act of inexcusable vandalism. According to the late Russian papers, the Moscow arch-millionaire, Kokoref, with his Tiflis partner the American Crœsus, Mirzoef, is desecrating and apparently about to totally destroy perhaps the oldest relic in the world of Zoroastrianismthe "Attesh-Gag" of Baku. Over an area of somewhat more than a square mile, a tract known as the "Fiery Field," upon which the structure stands, if one but digs from two to three inches into the sandy earth, and applies a lighted match, a jet of fire will stream up, as if from a spout.

Zoroastrianism Zoroastrianism dates back thousands of years and some say it is actually one of the oldest prophetic religions. Zoroastrianism was founded by the Persian philosopher and prophet Zarathustra (also known as Zoraster) and operates on the belief that there are two equal and opposite powers at work in the universe (good and evil). Zoroastrians believe that the conflict between these two powers will always ultimately affect mankind. According to the Zoroastrian faith there are two deities or gods that are perpetually at war with each other Ahura Mazda (also known as Ohrmazd or Ohrmuzd) the good God and Ahriman the evil God. Zoroastrians are taught to live well and prosperously enjoying everything that the world has to offer in moderation. Zoroastrians don’t believe in things like fasting, celibacy and monasticism because these things are seen as weakening the mind and the body making a person less able to combat evil. Instead of depriving the body of what it needs Zoroastrians are encouraged to reject pessimism and despair and embrace an industrious, active, honest, happy and charitable lifestyle. In his teachings Zarathustra eludes to the fact that all events of the world occur on a cause and effect basis and therefore he highlights the importance of three principles: good reflection, good word and good deed. In this way it seems that Zarathustra was trying to teach his followers to treat others as they would like to be treated in return.
