ZOROASTRIANISM Founded by Zarathushtra Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. Quotation: " 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: Zoroastrianism is a small religion with about 140,000 members. Yet its importance to humanity is much greater than its current numbers might suggest, because: Their theology has had a great impact on Judaism, Christianity and other later religions, in the beliefs surrounding God and Satan, the soul, heaven and hell , savior, resurrection , final judgment, etc. It is one of the oldest religions still in existence, It may have been the first monotheistic religion. The religion was founded by Zarathushtra (Zoroaster in Greek; Zarthosht in India and Persia). Conservative Zoroastrians assign a date of 6000 BCE to the founding of the religion; other followers estimate 600 BCE. Historians and religious scholars generally date his life sometime between 1500 and 1000 BCE on the basis of his style of writing. He lived in Persia, modern day Iran. Legends say that his birth was predicted and that attempts were made by the forces of evil to kill him as a child. He preached a monotheism in a land which followed an aboriginal polytheistic religion. He was attacked for his teaching, but finally won the support of the king. Zoroastrianism became the state religion of various Persian empires, until the 7th Century CE.

THE ZOROASTRIAN FAITH AND HOMOSEXUALITY Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. The Zoroastrian faith has historically been strongly opposed to homosexual behavior. Zarathustra's writings, the Gathas , are silent on homosexuality or bisexuality. They tend to give broad guidance on basic principles without going heavily into commandments. The Zoroastrian law book, The Vendidad (written circa 250 to 650 CE) contains " laws against demons " which touch on homosexuality. These purity laws are still followed by some conservative Zoroastrian communities. The Vendidad states: " The man that lies with mankind as man lies with womankind, or as woman lies with mankind, is the man that is a Daeva [demon]; this one is the man that is a worshipper of the Daevas, that is a male paramour of the Daevas" An ancient commentary on the Vendidad states: " Four men can be put to death by any one without an order from the Dastur [high priest]: the corpse-burner, the highwayman, the sodomite, and the criminal taken in the deed." One principle that might influence condemnation of homosexuality is the importance of family life within the faith. Orthodox Zoroastrianism currently does not accept converts from other religions; one must have a Zoroastrian mother and father in order to be accepted into the faith. To preserve and expand the religion, homosexuals as well as celibate persons would be pitied and pressured into marriage.

Similarly following his victory over Yam-Nahar, Baal complains that he has no house like the other gods. Baal and his sister Anath beg the Lady Asherah of the Sea to intercede with El and obtain permission for the building of Baal's house. Asherah accordingly saddles her ass and journeys north to Mount Zaphon, to the pavilion of El.” Can you imagine a goddess saddling her ass and travelling north?

Restored Zoroastrianism brings the Good Religion back to the World. It is not an oriental mystic sect or cult, but a World Religion for all Mankind. Suppressed and forgotten by the World during thousands of years, it is time to recall that God was realized in the Profound Teachings of Zoroaster, a thousand and more years before any prophet brought "divine revelations". Where later prophets described God in rather "human" terms, Zoroaster never did. He realized a Supreme Being, who is independent of being worshipped and obeyed and thus ...

58. THE ZOROASTRIAN CALENDAR THE zoroastrian CALENDAR. Index Historical Development Religious Content Illustration Meaning and Illustration of Days of the zoroastrian Calendar. http://palette.ecn.purdue.edu/~bulsara/ZOROASTRIAN/calendar.html

THE ZOROASTRIAN CALENDAR Index: Historical Development Religious Content Illustration Matter courtesy: ZOROASTRIAN STUDIES, K. R. Cama Oriental Institute Bldg., Ground Floor, 136, B. Samachar Marg, Bombay 400 023. Produced by THINGS, Tel: 4138026/4128419. A religious calendar is important and necessary to sustain the beliefs and practices of any community. In Zoroastrianism, the calendar fulfils many important roles. It helps one to follow the change of seasons and celebrate the religious festivals of the year. It helps one to become ethically and ecologically more conscious of one's life and environment. It helps one to understand and experience the principles of the religion in a more meaningful way. It helps one to live a richer life on a spiritual, emotional and physical level. In Zoroastrianism, each day forms part of a month and as time is deemed to move on a linear scale, there is a belief in a beginning with a definite end of time. Thus a Zoroastrian, every year, moves closer towards the final goal, the "Making Wonderful" - when it is said that the whole of creation will be restored to a perfect state. Time, as we know it, will cease to exist and the world will be filled with total goodness, joy, peace and light. The first day of the month (hormazd roz ) will merge with the 30th day of Endless Light (Aneran roz ) into the ONE timeless moment, as a result of the total annihilation of evil from this world. The seven creations comprising of the sky, waters, earth, plants, cattle, man and fire will be restored to a deathless, immortal state - the total triumph of Hormazd.
