Nothing was written until hundreds of years after the death of Zarathustra. When the need to write down the oral tradition was felt, it was living in the Avestan But this language, the Avestan, was already dead in 1st century AD. The oral tradition is supposed to relate the whole of Avesta exactly as it was revealed to the messenger Zarathustra. But only 17 hymns ( Gathas can be associated with Zarathustra himself. Some of the hymns ( Yashts ) seem to predate Zarathustra whereas some others belong to periods after his death, but all of them are in Avestan. Threequarters of Avesta was destroyed during the periods of occupation one after the other, and only a quarter survived. The Avesta which is mostly ritual and used in ceremonies has two parts: The original sacred Avesta, written in the sacred ancient Persian language called Avestan. And the texts written in mostly middle Persian. The Avesta which the Europeans know as Zend Avesta is currently used by Parsees.

MARRY INSIDE OUR COMMUNITY, AND SAVE OUR RELIGION. Many Zoroastrians desire to find suitable life-partners among fellow Zoroastrians. In the old days, match-makers used to go out and search for prospective brides or grooms, and in the Zoroastrian scriptures it is mentioned: "If a Zoroastrian comes among you, seeking a Zoroastrian bride, then give him such a bride." Since the act of marriage to a fellow Zoroastrian is enjoined in our religion, the Zoroastrian Matrimonial page has been started in an effort to enable far-flung Zoroastrians to contact prospective husbands or wives from among their own religion. The Zoroastrian Matrimonial page is active on the internet since early 1996. By Dadar Ahura Mazda's Divine Grace, more than 121 marriages between our Zarathushtri men and women have occured through this page, the FIRST of its kind on the internet since many years, and a page that is totally FREE. After reading the instructions below, please use the following link to enter the new Zoroastrian Matrimonial database: Enter Database ENHANCEMENTS TO ZOROASTRIAN MATRIMONIAL DATABASE By the Grace of Dadar Ahura Mazda, we have now enhanced the ZOROASTRIAN MATRIMONIAL DATABASE.

AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON ZOROASTRIAN STUDIES Introduction An Annotated Bibliography on Zoroastrian Studies List of PARSI Anjumans of India List of PARSI Dharamshalas of India INTRO DUCTION History tells us that around 4,000 B.C. due to some catastrophe not known to us, the Aryan tribes living in the region north of the Caucasus mountains, forsook their homeland and spread out in different directions. The South-bound hordes headed for the Iranian tableland and settled there and others slowly found their way through the Hindu kush Mountains into India. This split of the tribes appears to be due to ZoroasterÂ’s teachings of just one supreme God Ahura - Mazda, Lord of Life and Wisdom, who controls the universe, in contrast to the many Gods and Goddesses in Hinduism. Two great national disasters were responsible for the destruction of Zoroastrian texts. The first was the invasions of Iran by Alexander in 323 B.C. when religious texts and Fire Temples were destroyed and learned priests put to death. The second great national disaster was even worse than the first. This was due to Iran being conquered by the Islamic tribes in the 7th century A.D. Fire temples and religious texts were burnt and learned priests killed. Arabic replaced Persian. It is a miracle that any text survived.

105. ZOROASTRIAN DUALIST COSMOGONY: zoroastrian DUALIST COSMOGONY. OHRMAZD AND AHRIMAN comment by R. C Zaehner, in his Zurvan A zoroastrian Dilemma (Oxford, 1955), PP 314-16 http://alexm.here.ru/mirrors/www.enteract.com/jwalz/Eliade/060.html

ZOROASTRIAN DUALIST COSMOGONY: OHRMAZD AND AHRIMAN Greater Bundahishn The story of the two primal Spirits and the creation of the world is recounted in greatest detail in the first chapter of a ninth-century Pahlavi book known as the 'Bundahishn' or '(Book of) the Primal Creation.' The limitation of Time is Ohrmazd's first creative act, for he saw that if Ahriman were to be destroyed, be would have to be lured out of eternity, actualized in finite time, and forced into the open. Ohrmazd, before the act of creation, was not Lord; after the act of creation he became Lord, eager for increase, wise, free from adversity, manifest, ever ordering aright, bounteous, all-perceiving. [First he created the essence of the gods, fair (orderly) movement, that genius by which he made his own body better] for he had conceived of the act of creation; from this act of creation was his lordship. And by his dear vision Ohrmazd saw that the Destructive Spirit would never cease from aggression and that his aggression could only be made fruitless by the act of creation, and that creation could not move on except through Time and that when Time was fashioned, the creation of Ahriman too would begin to Move. And that he might reduce the Aggressor to a state of powerlessness, having no alternative he fashioned forth Time. And the reason was this, that the Destructive Spirit could not be made powerless unless he were brought to battle. . . .

106. THE THREE MAGI, ZOROASTRIAN PILGRIMS A sixthcentury Syrian source, cited by zoroastrian scholar Dariush There are zoroastrian legends about the Star of the Magi, that identify it as http://www.sullivan-county.com/z/3magi.htm

THE THREE MAGI, ZOROASTRIAN PILGRIMS During the winter holiday season in the Judeo-Christian West there is always mention of the three Magi who traveled to Bethlehem to give gifts to the Christ Child. These Magi are now depicted as three kings, but earlier versions of them show them as three Persians. Were the Three Magi Zoroastrians? How much Zoroastrianism is there in the story of these three pilgrims? The first thing we must remember is that the story of the Three Magi is just that - a STORY. It is not history, and is not meant to relate an actual incident (of course, there is always the chance that it actually happened, but no one will ever be able to prove it). This is a sacred story, and every detail in it is meant to convey a symbolic spiritual meaning. The fact that this is a story and not history does not mean that everything in it is false. Stories are told using real data, and thus the tellers of the story of the Magi could draw on actual details of the cosmopolitan civilization they knew in the first century A.D. The story is in the Gospel according to Matthew, 2:1-12, and goes as follows: "After Jesus had been born at Bethlehem in Judaea during the reign of King Herod, some wise men came to Jerusalem from the east. "Where is the infant King of the Jews?" they asked. "We saw his star as it rose and have come to do him homage." .".. King Herod interviews the wise men, hoping to have them lead him to the newborn Jesus, whom he regards as a threat to his reign. The miraculous Star leads the wise men directly to the child. "The sight of the star filled them with delight, and going into the house they saw the child with his mother Mary, and falling to their knees they did him homage. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh..."

Arguably one of the oldest of the monotheistic faiths, Zoroastrianism is based on the teachings of the Prophet Zarathushtra. Zoroastrianism was the dominant religion of the Persian Empires based on the scriptures, the Avestas, and dealing with devotion to Ahura Mazda, the one god.

"ZOROASTER" is the most current of various Greek forms of his first name. The exact date of the birth of our religion is still being debated by scholars. However, it is widely believed that our religion started about 5000 years ago, in ancient Persia (Today Iran). Long before Zarathushtra was born, his arrival was proclaimed in the sky by visions of his FRAVASHI The parents of Zarathushtra were POURUSHASPA and DOGHDOVA . Zarathushtra was born in the North-Eastern of Ancient Persia, on KHORDEHD the 6th day of the month FRAVARDIN of the Spitama family (He of the golden light).

Home Biography Fiction/Novel General ... Social Sciences The Zoroastrian Tradition An Introduction to the Ancient Wisdom of Zarathushtra Farhang Mehr This book is concerned with the doctrinal beliefs of the practising Zoroastrians examined within the frames of the Gothic principals. Variances in the current practice are considered. The doctrinal changes are explained in the light of socio-political forces operating in each distinct historical era. In this exercise no scholarly speculation is taken on face value. The common mythology of the Indo-Iranian people have been used to explain the process of reintroduction into the younger Avesta of the Indo-Iranian deities in the form of Yazatas. Our starting point is that Zoroaster preached a new religion. He broke away from the rituals associated with the worship of may deities and Daevas. He rejected the idea of the divine descent of the religious and civil leaders and rulers, and invited people to stand against injustice. The author outlines the forgotten spirituality of Zarathustra and shows how it has influenced the Abrahamic Religions. The reader is initiated into the Gathic principles of the Avestan and Pahlavi sacred texts, “Asha” the principle of God’s will, the moral dualism of good and evil, the creative Holy Spirit of Spenta Mainyu, the immortality of the soul, the principle of refreshment, and the final triumph of Goodness. Dr. Mehr was born in Tehran, Iran. He served as president of Pahlavi University of Shiraz under the late Shah, Deputy Prime Minister, and Governor of Iran in OPEC. He is a founder of the World Zoroastrian Organization and of the Ancient Iranian Culture Society. He was also president of Zoroastrian Anjuman in Tehran for twelve years. Dr Mehr is a Professor Emeritus of International relations at Boston University. He resides with his family in Newton, Massachusetts.

Zoroastarian Festivals Gahambars Jamshed Navroz Khordad Sal ... Festivals : Zoroastrian Festivals ZOROASTARIAN FESTIVALS OF INDIA The Zoroastrian, or Parsi, community is the smallest major religious group in India. They number about 100,000, and are concentrated overwhelmingly in Mumbai city and in the state of Gujarat. That is one reason why Parsi festivals are not highly visible. Another, and equally important, reason is that Parsi festivals are not accompanied by public ceremonies and attendant features like music and celebrations. The Zoroastrian religion is founded on the three tenets of 'Good thoughts, good words, good deeds.' The Zoroastrians are fastidious and meticulous where their religion is concerned, and their festivals are also structured to reflect the chief aims of Zoroastrianism. Take into account that the Parsis are a very close-knit group, and you have festivals that are celebrated almost strictly within the community, and confined to the homes, community centres and temples. The Parsi calendar is divided into 12 months of equal length and five festal days. The five festal days are presided over by guardian angels. So are each of the other days of the year. So, loosely, every day of the year could be considered special.

Zoroastrian Prophecies Fulfilled The Zoroastrian Scriptures, like those of all the other world religions, contain Messianic Prophecies foretelling the future appearance of a "redeemer". "He shall be the victorious Benefactor (Saoshyant) by name and World-renovator [Astavat-ereta] by name. He is Benefactor because he will benefit the entire physical world; he is World- renovator because he will establish the physical living existence indestructible. He will oppose the evil of the progeny of the biped and withstand the enmity produced by the faithful." - Zoroastrianism- Avesta, Farvardin Yast 13.129 A statement attributed to one of the Zoroastrian Scriptures contains one of the most explicit prophecies identifying the TIME when this "World-renovator" will appear. "When a thousand two hundred and some years have passed from the inception of the religion of the Arabian (Muhammad) and the overthrow of the kingdom of Iran and the degradation of the followers of My religion, a descendant of the Iranian kings (Baha'u'llah) will be raised up as a Prophet."
