Zoroastrian Resources on the World Wide Web Educational Sites on Zoroastrian religion: Avesta.org Mary Boyce and other scholars' articles on our religion and our sacred texts. A site worth bookmarking. It has a detailed Zoroastrian calender with festivals and ceremonial days marked. There is also a list of Persian names along with their meanings. Simple, but knowledgeable site. A must have for all Zoroastrians and religious scholars! Persian.com This is a comprehensive site on Persia. The part I found most relevant was the Shahnameh translations decorated with beautiful old court painitngs. "The Epic Of the Kings" was written by Firdowsi Tusi and it is translated here by Helen Zimmern. The translated version is in prose and not in the poetic form as was originally written. But it is a good translation. The Shahnameh is important to us because it is a richly woven tapestry of the history of Persia, the fight between good and evil, of warrior kings and powerful dynasties. Read the chapter on our favorite heros: Rustom and Sorab or the story of the loyal horse, Asfandiyar. Kids too will love these stories.

Back to Home Page or Contents Page or Hinduism or Index Prayer, Zoroastrian T he definition of prayer in Zoroastrianism seems a bit confusing since the prophet Zoroaster probably thought of prayer, and it is uncertain that he ever used the word, as a conversation with God ( Ahura Mazdah ), since most of his extent words are in a very direct and personal style, expressing questions and doubts, affirmations of faith and devotion, in what was for the prophet the vernacular. However, he was a practicing priest who was learned in the Indo-Iranian practice, such as the Rg Veda (see Vedas ). That tradition, and later Zoroastrian practice, especially that of the Parsis, developed a different prospective of prayer, namely, that the recitation of sacred words in the powerful holy language, provided that they are offered in both moral and physical purity and with devotion, links people directly to God and therefore generates ritual power ( amal ). Understanding the meaning of the words, it is reasoned, can inhibit the mystical experience because by thinking about the meaning the worshippers limit themselves to human conceptual thought.

The ZOROASTRIAN RELIGION LIGHT of DIVINE PURITY "The way of worship taught by Zarathustra is to worship God by offering homage to the nature. For nature suggests to the soul the endless and unlimited Being hidden behind it all. They keep a constandly burning fire in their place of worship, but they keep it before them when thinking of God, for fire purifies all things and the light within purifies all souls".

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 Zoroaster’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.

Published in and html formatted by the Baha'i Studies Review, vol. 8 (1998). Mirrored with permission from http://bahai-library.com/bsr/bsr08/821_buck_zoroaster.htm Christopher Buck Published in the Baha'i Studies Review, vol. 8 (1998) Abstract This paper Introduction tria munera not Moses and Zoroaster Moses and Zoroaster are universally regarded as the fathers of (universal) monotheism. Zoroaster (the Greek name for Zarathuctra), was probably the younger contemporary of Moses. (Scholarship has reached a near consensus in rejecting the traditional date of Zoroaster in favour of a date between 1200 and 1000 BCE.) Zoroaster, the ancient Persian prophet, was by profession a priest, and by calling a prophet, who taught monotheism alongside ethical dualism. While Moses proclaimed the uniqueness and transcendence of the one, true God, Zoroaster, in the few authentic hymns of his that have survived, vivified the attributes of God by personifying them. "Zoroaster," writes Jacques Duchesne-Guillemin, "is, in fact, in the full sense of the word, the first theologian Having transformed the archaic view of time from a circle into a spiral, and having invested history with a teleological dimension, it is hard not to agree with Duchesne-Guillemin when he further states that: "Zoroaster is the first apocalypt."

Culture - Religion Religion ZOROASTERIAN Zoroastrianism is a religion which originated 3,500 years ago and was the largest world religion during the Persian empires (559 BC to 651 AD). Founded by Zarathushtra, known to the Greeks as Zoroaster who attained revelation at the age of 30 years. The sacred literature of Zoroastrianism is found in the Avesta, which was compiled sometime during the Sassanian period from much earlier materials. Only a portion of the Avesta remains, but the language of its earliest sections is extremely ancient, closely related to that of the Indian Vedas. These sections, the Gathas (hymns), are thought to be by Zoroaster himself. Zoroaster's life dates have been traditionally given as c.628-551 BC, but many scholars argue for earlier dates. Fire plays a major role, being seen as the manifestation of the truth of Ahura Mazda (Lord the Creator), as preached by Zoroaster. See fire temples at Ateshkadeh Yazd Naghsh-e Rostam Takht-e Soleiman The traditional Persian New Year "No Rooz" is based on the Zoroasterian solar calendar.
