AVESTA: The Scriptures Of Zoroastrianism
AVESTA The Scriptures of zoroastrianism zoroastrianism, like Judaism, Christianity,and Islam, is a religion of a book or rather a religion of texts.
http://www.accessnewage.com/articles/mystic/avest.htm

Extractions: The Scriptures of Zoroastrianism Zoroastrianism, like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, is a "religion of a book" or rather a religion of texts. From the beginning, Zarathushtra's prophecies were embodied in words, though they were not written down until more than a millennium later. Zoroastrians have three thousand years of words in their heritage. The Avesta is the analogue of the Bible for Zoroastrians. Like the Bible, it is a collection of many texts from many eras, in different languages. The texts come from times that may be as early as 1700 BC and as late as 400 A.D. Until recently, the Avesta was known in the West as the "Zend-Avesta." This is a misnomer and was caused by the misinterpretation of the word "Zend." This means "commentary" in middle Persian (Pazand). The word "Avesta" is mysterious in origin. The German scholars of the late 19th century (Geldner, Bartholomae, etc.) say that it is from the ancient Iranian word upasta meaning "shelter" or "support." The Avesta scholar Dr. Ali Jafarey has a different idea. He says that it is from the Indo-Iranian word "a" (not) and the root "vid" (know). That is, Avesta means "unknown," which describes how the language of the Avesta - also known as Avestan - became unknown to the Zoroastrians of later centuries. Jafarey's interpretation is, as far as I know, original to him. We must remember that the Avesta as it has come down to the modern Zoroastrian world is but a collection of fragments and texts preserved from a far greater whole. Zoroastrianism, unlike Judaism, has suffered greatly from the destruction of its texts - first, in the conflagration set by Alexander the invader in 330 B.C. which destroyed the library at Persepolis, and later by invading Arabs and Mongols. Zoroastrianism had its Torah, its Talmud, its historical books, and its wisdom literature - and most of it is gone now. What we have is what could be preserved in priests' memories and in precious manuscripts preserved by brave and devoted Iranians and Parsi emigrants.

Extractions: page 2 Those practicing Zoroastrianism worship in what are known as Fire Temples where a fire always burns as the symbol of divine power presence, and purity. Fires may also be burned in services in homes of the believers. Prayers are said in Avestan, rather than in modern vernaculars, since the pronunciation of these sounds has a Mantra-like or meditative quality to them, Zoroastrians receive a white undershirt called a sudreh and a hollow woven cord called a kusti, which are to be worn under their clothing the rest of their life (except while bathing). Several times a day the follower reties the kusti while saying certain fixed prayers. In addition to meditation and prayer, Zarathustra emphatically stated that "Those who served God best were those who rendered active service to God's creations which include fellow human beings." Service to others is therefore an integral part of Zoroastrian practice. The Zoroastrianism religion dates back to around the seventh century B.C. and was founded in south-central Agia (Iran) by the prophet Zoroaster, or Zarathustra, after whom the religion is named. The Zoroastrian religion has endured through the many conquests of Persia, and has had a profound influence upon the development of monotheistic ideology in world history. The religion first started to gain wide acceptance during the Achemaenid (Hakhamanian) Empire under Cyrus the Great (550 - 330 B.C.), the first emperor of Persia. The religion began to decline during the rule of the Seleucid Empire (330 - 250 B.C.) after Alexander the Great defeated Darius III and subsequently destroyed the NASKS the sacred scriptures of the Zoroastrians.

Contact Me Zoroastrianism Founder: Zarathustra (in Greek, Zoroaster) was a Persian prophet who at the age of 30 believed he had seen visions of God, whom he called Ahura Mazda, the creator of all that is good and who alone is worthy of worship. This was a departure from previous Indo-Persian polytheism, and Zarathustra has been termed the first non-biblical monotheist (though monotheism in Zoroastrianism never took on the absolute quality that it assumed in Judaism and Islam). Though there is disagreement among scholars as to exactly when and where Zarathustra lived, most agree that he lived in eastern Iran probably around the sixth century BCE Main Sacred Text: The Zoroastrian "Avesta" ("Book of the Law") is a fragmentary collection of sacred writings divided into: liturgical works with hymns ascribed to Zarathustra; invocations and rituals to be used at festivals; hymns of praise; and spells against demons and prescriptions for purification. Compiled over many centuries, the Avesta was not completed until Persia's Sassanid dynasty (226-641 CE).

Extractions: Introduction People Spiritual Beliefs Sacred Practices by Dr. Pallan R. Ichaporia Chair of the Research and Preservation Committee of the Federation of Zoroastrian Associations of North America History Zoroastrianism is the first revealed monotheistic religion of the world. The date of its founding is lost in antiquity, but general consensus places it between 2000 to 1800 BCE. Its founder, Zarathushtra or Zoroaster (as called by the Greeks), flourished on the East Iranian Plateau. Zarathushtra saw the God (Ahura Mazda the Wise Lord), felt conscious of His presence, and heard His words, which are recorded in the five Songs or Poems he composed. These are called the *Gathas.* One easily understands Zarathushtra by seeing the Prophet's zeal in the Gathas and the visible manifestation of his meeting the God.

http://www.fadetoblack.com/bestcult/zoro.htm

Extractions: Comedy Magazine ... Zoroastrianism is a religion created by the so called prophet Zarathushtra over 700 years before the birth of Christ. Zoroastrianism was the dominant world religion during the Persian empires (559 BC to 651 AC), and was thus the most powerful world religion at the time of Jesus. Although it is still practiced in Iran and India it lost the majority of its market share. Zoroastrianism is very tolerant of other religions, supportive of arts and education and places very little pressure for recruiting people outside the movement. With this information in hand we were excited in finding more about this very little known sect.

Extractions: Zoroastrianism began in Iran ( modern Persia) in the first millenium B.C. and still exists in the present day in small communities in Iran and in diaspora in India, North America, and elsewhere. It is perhaps monotheistic religion founded by a single individual, but to understand its origin and its later evolution it is necessary to know something about the traditional religion of the Indo-Aryan peoples. In the modern period the number of its adherents has been relatively small, but its influence historically has been substantial, and Zoroastrians have composed a substantial body of religious writings in a variety of langauges, notably in Pahlavi, Gujarati, and Sanskrit. Chronology of the Ancient World The Western Discovery of Zoroastrianism While Zoroastrianism was known to the Greeks and Roman authors by reputation, we can say it first came to the attention of the West in the nineteenth century, when Europeans encountered Parsi communities, or Zoroastrian families originating in

Extractions: Click here for a biography of Zoroaster. Introduction Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism are world religions but Zoroastrianism is just a national religion now though it was a world religion in days of yore. It is the religion of the Parsees. The correct name for the religion established by Zoroaster is Mazdayasnism which means the worship of Mazda or the Lord. Mazdayasnism was first revealed by Homa to King Jamshid. Afterwards it was revealed to King Fiedoon. Then it was revealed to Thirta. Lastly it was revealed to Zoroaster. After the death of Zoroaster his son in-law Jamaspa became his successor. Jamaspa wrote down the teachings of Zoroaster which are known as Zend Avesta, the scriptures of the Zoroastrians. Frashaoshtra, father-in-law of Zoroaster, was the first apostle of this faith. He expounded the tenets of this religion. Zoroastrianism became the state religion of Persia. After the time of Zoroaster, Zoroastrianism underwent many changes at the hands of the priests who were called Magi. The priests re-introduced ritualism and the worship of the old nature-deities in a new garb by making them archangels of Ahura Mazda.

Zarthushtra or Zoroaster, the founder of Zoroastrianism, was born in Medea (Modern Iran) about 660 B.C. He thought that life was struggle between the forces of good and evil. The sprit of good was Ahura Mazda with its helper Mithras, the light. The evil sprit was Angra Mainyu or Ahriman, the Lie Demon. Man could not be neutral in the struggle. He had to fight for right and live a righteous life. Those who lived righteously went to paradise, which was a state of immortal holiness in thought, word and deed. The impious were condemned to an eternal hell of evil thoughts and deeds and physical torment. By 500 B.C. Zoroastrianism had become the leading faith in Persia and Medea.

Extractions: Z oroastrianism is the religious doctrine attributed to Zoroaster which gradually became the prevalent religion of Iran and notably was the State religion under the Sasanian dynasty (A.D. 211-640). It is still professed by the Parsis of Bombay and by some sporadic communities in Persia. Zoroastrianism is one of the most interesting religions of the world. Its doctrines and rites are well known either in their present form or as they are to be found in the Pahlavi books and in the Avesta (q.v.) I. Zoroaster (Zarathushtra).There is much obscurity concerning the person of the founder and the time and place of his preaching. Although the Avesta is the Zoroastrian Bible, it is quite certain that only a small portion of the book can with probability be regarded as the work of the prophet. That portion is the Gathas In the Gathas Zoroaster appears as a very real and human personality, devoid of all the marvellous features which surround him in later literature. He is presented there as the son of Pourushaspa of the Spitama family. For ten years he had only one disciple, Maidhyoimaonha his cousin. At last he converted to his doctrine Vishtaspa, a local prince; but the Gathas xvarenanh (= O. Pers.

Containing both monotheistic and dualistic features, the religion influenced Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The history of the world was seen as a drama in 3,000 year periods. The Ahura Vairya is the most sacred prayer of this religion and the Avesta is the sacred text. Zoroastrianism continues in Iran and in India where the Parsees carry on the traditions.

Extractions: Parsis- Zoroastrianism: Zoroastrianism was founded in the 6th century BC by the Persian prophet Zoroaster; at the time of Buddha. It was the official religion of the Persian Empire until it was conquered by Alexander the Great in 330 AC; if the battles at Marathon and Salamis would have been won by the Persians, today we would have in the Western Zoroastrianism, instead of Christianity... finally the Muslims defeated them in the 7th century AC... the Zoroastrians were scattered, and today there are left 115,000 around Bombay, in India; 7,000 in the United States. The PARSIS: In India the Zoroastrians are called the Parsis (persians), they acquired vast fortunes, in the cotton and steel industries, they have the highest literacy rate in India, and their cultural and economic importance is far out of proportion to their small numbers. Zoroastrianism is "monotheistic", but with a "dualistic" System: Only one loving God, Ahura Mazda, the creator, who had 2 sons: One choose "Good", the other choose "Evil" (Angra Mainya, Ahriman), the destructive principle of greed, anger, and darkness (the Satan of Christianity)... there is a constant fight between Good and Evil, but at the end, in the year 2,600 AC Good will triumph, there will be a "Final Judgment", the dead will be resurrected, and there will be a Paradise on earth.
