Zoroaster Spitaman

Zoroastrians, like other Persians, belong to the Aryan race, who nearly 5000 years ago emigrated from the north of the Caspian Sea to the south including the Iranian plateau, the Indian subcontinent and Europe. Indo-Iranians and Indo-Europeans have beliefs, literature and social entities that have common features with the Zoroastrian faith.

 

 

 

Zoroaster was born in 1768 B. C. He is an ancient Prophet and a wise scholar, who founded the Zoroastrians religion, which sprang from the East of Iran and spread throughout the country. Followers of Zoroaster, the first Prophet to preach the  existence of one Supreme God. Called Ahura Mazda, live in Iran and other parts of the world. Zoroastrians initially lived in the pre­historic Kianian dynasty and later during the period of the Medes. Achaemenians, Arscids and Sassanians, they lived alongside the Buddhists and other ancient Indo-Iranian cults like the Mithras, the Zurvans and the Anahitas. Zoroastrianism flourished during the Sassanian dynasty and became the official religion of the Iranian Empire.

After the invasion of Iran by the Arabs, Zoroastrianism declined because of Arab thoughts and forced conversion. However, the Zoroastrians were able to maintain their local self-governance in many parts ofIran until the 14th Century A.D. Many Zoroastrians were forced to flee to India and China. Resulting from this continuing diaspora, adherants of Zoroaster in India are called Parsis. About 100,000 Zoroastrians who have survived in Iran live in Yazd, Kerman, Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, Zahedan and Ahwaz. A few are scattered amongst other cities of Iran. The Zoroastrian populaiton throughout the world is estimated to be about 300,000.

 

Avesta, the sacred book

 

 

The sacred book of the Zoroastrian faith is A vesta, written in a very ancient script, the DinDabireh, which is the ancient  language of north-eastern Iran. It is written from right to left A vesta consists of five parts which are: Yasna (blessings) Visperat (homage) Yasht (worship) Vandidad (moral laws) Khordeh Avesta (customs and prayers) . The oldest existing volumes of A vesta scriptures are 800 years old and are kept in the Louvre  museum, Paris and the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Few old handwritten copies are olso preserved in various fire temples in Iran.

Gatha, which IS part of Yasena, contain (plural of Gat meaning hymn) contain the philosophy and teachings of Zoroaster regarding Godliness, freedom justice, purity, righteousness, progress and prosperity, and happiness.

 

Zoroaster prophet of Ancient Iran

 

The birth of Zoroaster has been deduced according to the hymns of Gatha and other historical findings and is known with reasonable certainty. Zoroaster was born before Iron was discovered and according to historians, Zoroaster lived in the period when the two languages of A vesta and Sanskrit separated from each other. Thus Zoroaster was born in 1768 B. C. and attanied prophethood in 1738 B.C. at the age ofthirty.

The Gatha and Ferdosi I s famous Shahnameh reveal that Zoroaster began preaching his religion in Bactria the capital of Keyanian ruler King Vistap (Hyastasper of Goushtasp). He was born in Azarbaijan, but for the propagation of his religion traveled to Marve (Khorasan) and Bactria (Afghanistan). From and early age, he came up with new ideology strongly opposing the prevalent worship of differents gods of the elements of nature, and did away with practices like religeous scrifices (including animals) by ancient Indo-Iranian cults. His wise mother Dughdhova influenced this attitude. When he was 30 years old revelation dawned on him through Vohuman (Good Thoughts) of Ahura Mazda, the Wise Creator, the One God, who chose Zoroaster as his prophet. Zoroaster I s teachings are expressed in his Gatha hymns where the whole doctrine of Zoroastrianism can be summarized in three principles: Good Thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds. They contain the religious teachings regarding belief in Ahura Mazda, the One Supreme Wise Creator of the  universe. He advocates freedom ofthought and freedom to choose one I s path in life and propunds that those who choose the pious path will be rewarded in the Land of Songs. Aquiring knowledge, fighting evil, bringing progress, peace and prosperity to the world and working to benefit all humanity are part of his message. Zoroaster is a Universal Prophet whose teachings have attracted Iranian and foreign philosphers and intellectuals, who commend his universally applicable views based on moral character and quest for freedom.

It is believed that Zoroaster was assasinated by a Turanian traitor in a Fire Temple in Bactria (Afghanistan) on 5th Dey (26 Dec.) at the age of seventy seven. His burial place has not been identified with certainty so far. Ceremonies marking his death anniversary are held by Zoroastrians on this date.

Followers of Zoroaster continue to live in peace with others. maintaining the principles of truth, decency, freedom and friendship in keeping with the hymns of Zoroaster's Gatha  and his cultural teachings in the Avesta. Some of the ancient pre-Zoroastrian legends and customs have also been retained in the Avesta alongside the teachings of the Prophet of ancient Iran.

 

AhuraMazda

Zoroastrianism is the oldest monotheistic (one single God) religion of the world. Ahura Mazda, Lord of Wisdom, Creator of all, is mighty, just, wise, compassionate and immortal. He is total perfection and yet is perfectly humble, and is looked upon by Zoroastrians as a friend. In the Gatha and throughout A vesta, there is no doubt as to the Unity of God (Ahura Mazda) and He alone is the Creator of the Universe, mankind and all existence. No force opposes him and Ahriman or Satan is not His rival. In the hymns of Zoroaster, Ahura Mazda is referred to as a friend. Holy Zarthosht is a freedom seeker, who aspires to see Ahura Mazda, converse with Him and ultimately unite with Him.

According to Indo-Iranian mythology however, in certain other ancient religions such as Zurvanism, Ahura Mazda (Hormuzd) and Ahriman are two mythological characters fighting each other for supremacy. This misleading similarity of names has been mistakenly construed as dual worship in Zoroastrianism.

In Zurvanism, Zurvan is an Indo- Iranian mythological God, who as a result of one thousand years of prayers and sacrificial rites, gives birth to Hormozd (Ahura Mazda) and Ahriman (Satan). Later, these two are constantly fighting each other for supremacy. This duality does not exist in Zoroastrianism. What Zoroastrianism teaches is that Ahura Mazda is the sole Creator of the Universe. However, on this earth, there are two simultaneous forces which oppose each other: Goodness or light and evil or darkness. Neither of them challenges the supremacy of Ahura Mazda.

Zoroaster extols his followers to freely choose the path of goodness themselves, without any compulsion, explaining that righteousness will be rewarded in this world and the next. This freedom to choose one's path and religion is unique to Zoroastrianism. Ahura Mazda, the Creator of existence has six divine characteristics, namely: benevolent thinking; righteousness and regularity; strength and authority; love and humility; perfection; and lastly immortality.
