Book excerpt: The Teachings of Zoroaster and the Philosophy of the Parsi Religion is an overview of Zoroastrianism written by S.A. Kapadia. This guide is intended as an introduction to the religion to those unfamiliar with the teachings of Zoroaster and the beliefs of the Parsi. Kapadia's book is primarily intended for Western readers with little to no knowledge of Zoroastrianism. The book begins with an introduction to the Parsi people, and a brief discussion of their religious belief prior to the rise of Zoroastrianism. From there, the book progress to discuss Zoroaster, the founder of the religion and a man believed to have been born in what is now Iran. Kapadia then spends the remainder of the text providing the reader with an overview of the core beliefs and values of Zoroastrianism, from hygienic laws, to the sanctity of marriage, to the immortality of the soul. The Teachings of Zoroaster and the Philosophy of the Parsi Religion achieves its goal of introducing the reader to this religion. One who opens this book with little or no knowledge of the religion will surely close the back cover feeling they have gained a good deal of insight. Kapadia's interpretations of Zoroaster's teachings are clear and presented in basic language, and thus this is a text that could well be used in an educational setting to teach students about one of the world's religions. As an introduction to the religion, The Teachings of Zoroaster and the Philosophy of the Parsi Religion is a success, Kapadia's book providing a worthy overview of Zoroastrianism. For those interested in learning about the religion, or for teachers instructing a course on spirituality around the world, this book is recommended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Teachings of Zoroaster And The Philosophy of the Parsi Religion Wisdom of the East The Teachings of Zoroaster and the Philosophy of the Parsi Religion By S. A. Kapadia Zoroastrianism is an ancient semi-dualistic monotheist religion of Greater Iran. Much like the Roman religion for Rome, it was adopted in differing forms as the generally inclusive overarching state religion of the Achaemenid Empire and subsequent Parthian and Sasanian (or Sassanid) empires, lending it immense prestige in ancient times. As a result, many aspects of Zoroastrianism, including leading characteristics like messianism, either influenced or were inherited by contemporary and later religious systems, including Second Temple Judaism, Gnosticism, Christianity, and Islam. Zoroastrianism was gradually marginalized or otherwise absorbed by Islam from the 7th century onwards with the decline of the Sasanian Empire. Recent estimates place the current number of Zoroastrians at around 2.6 million, most live in India and Iran. The religious philosophy of Zoroaster divided the early Iranian gods. The most important texts of the religion are those of the Avesta. In Zoroastrianism, the multifacted creator, Ahura Mazda, through the Spenta Mainyu (Good Spirit, "Bounteous Immortals") is an all-good "father" of Asha (Truth, "order, justice,") in opposition to Druj ("falsehood, deceit") and no evil originates from "him". "He" and his works are evident to humanity through the six primary Amesha Spentas and the host of other Yazatas, through whom worship of Mazda is ultimately directed. Spenta Mainyu adjoined unto "truth" oppose the Spirit's opposite, Angra Mainyu and its forces born of Akem Manah ("evil thinking"). Zoroastrianism has no major theological divisions, but it is not uniform. Modern-era influences have a significant impact on individual and local beliefs, practices, values and vocabulary, sometimes merging with tradition and in other cases displacing it.

This book was released on 2017-07-23 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, was an ancient Iranian prophet whose teachings developed into Zoroastrianism. He inaugurated a movement that eventually became the dominant religion in Ancient Persia. He was a native speaker of Old Avestan and lived in the eastern part of the Iranian Plateau, but his exact birthplace is uncertain.Dating is uncertain as there is no scholarship consensus, as on linguistic and socio-cultural evidence, he is dated around 1000 BCE and earlier, but others put him in the 7th and 6th century BCE as a contemporary or near-contemporary of Cyrus the Great and Darius I. Zoroastrianism was already an old religion when first recorded, and it was the official religion of Ancient Persia and its distant subdivisions from the 6th century BCE to the 7th century CE. He is credited with the authorship of the Yasna Haptanghaiti as well as the Gathas, hymns which are at the liturgical core of Zoroastrian thinking. Most of his life is known from the Zoroastrian texts.Zoroaster is recorded as the son of Pourusaspa of the Spitaman or Spitamids (Avestan spit mean "brilliant" or "white; some argue that Spitama was a remote progenitor) family, and Dugdōw, while his great-grandfather was Haēčataspa. All the names appear appropriate of the nomadic tradition, as his father's means "possessing gray horses" (with the word aspa meaning horse), while his mother's is "milkmaid". According to the tradition, he had four brothers, two older and two younger, whose name are given in much later Pahlavi work.The training for priesthood probably started very early around seven years of age. He became a priest probably around the age of fifteen, and according to Gathas, he gained knowledge from other teachers and personal experience from traveling when left his parents as twenty years old. By the age of thirty, he experienced a revelation during a spring festival; on the river bank he saw a shining Being, who revealed himself as Vohu Manah (Good Purpose) and taught him about Ahura Mazda (Wise Spirit) and five other radiant figures. Zoroaster soon became aware of the existence of two primal Spirits, the second being Angra Mainyu (Hostile Spirit), with opposing concepts of Asha (truth) and Druj (lie). Thus he decided to spend his life teaching people to seek Asha. He received further revelations and saw a vision of the seven Amesha Spenta, and his teachings were collected in the Gathas and the Avesta.He taught about free will, and opposed the use of the hallucinogenic Haoma plant in rituals, polytheism, over-ritualising religious ceremonies and animal sacrifices, as well an oppressive class system in Persia which earned him strong opposition among local authorities. Eventually, at the age of about forty-two, he received the patronage of queen Hutaosa and a ruler named Vishtaspa, an early adherent of Zoroastrianism (possibly from Bactria according to the Shahnameh). Zoroaster's teaching about individual judgment, Heaven and Hell, resurrection of the body, Last Judgment, and everlasting life for the reunited soul and body, among others became borrowings in the Abrahamic religions, but they lost the context of the original teaching.

This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zoroastrianism is a religion much commented upon by a few enthusiastic Oriental scholars, and less understood by the general public. Out of the millions of believers of this faith in the by gone ages, there now remains a handful of devout followers, known as the Parsis. I have, therefore, ventured to put before my readers a brief sketch of the teachings of this divine prophet. I hope, that the strangers to the faith may find in it food for philosophic enlightenment, and the Zoroastrians themselves a subject for deeper and wider researches in the untold wealth of sublime theology and philosophy, now locked up in the monumental tomes of the ancient Avesta writings...

This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kapadia's investigation of the Zoroastrian faith is important for clarifying and defining the important religious tenets native to followers of Zoroaster. Zoroastrianism is most famously known as the world's first major monotheistic religion. Zoroaster's assertion, made in his home country of Persia sometime between 1500 and 650 BC, was that there was only One God who governed over everything in the known Earth and wider universe. Over centuries, Zoroaster's creed became dominant in what is now modern-day Iran. In the ancient era, the belief in a single, omnipresent God was radical and profoundly different from the paganism which had come before it. Many people - including those in Greece and Rome - continued to worship a pantheon consisting of many Gods, corresponding to the elements of the physical world, for many centuries after Zoroaster perished.
