Extractions: 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.

Extractions: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON ZOROASTRIAN STUDIES 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 Zoroasters 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.

Extractions: 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."

Extractions: 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.
