Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significance of the Zoroastrian religion in the development of the history of thought is often only mentioned in passing, or is completely overlooked. Zoroastrianism has developed over a span of at least three thousand years, with roots in a common Indo-Iranian culture and mythology, then becoming part of imperial Iranian ideology within an Ancient Near Eastern setting, and emerging in variant forms in western and central Asia in late antiquity. The religion continues as a living faith for an estimated 130 - 150,000 adherents in the world. Most Zoroastrians if asked, 'In a nutshell, what do Zoroastrians believe?' would begin their answer with the moral maxim: 'Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds.' Zoroastrianism: A Guide for the Perplexed takes this foundational trifold ethic as the framework for its three main chapters. The book presents a comprehensive study of the religion through its focus on the questions that perplexed seekers might ask of a Zoroastrian concerning ideology and ethics; current discussions of 'text' and 'author'; and the putting-into-practice of the religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to a journey through time, where we explore the life, teachings, and legacy of one of history's most remarkable figures—Zoroaster. In this captivating biography, we'll delve into the life of a man who not only shaped a religion but also left an indelible mark on the course of human thought. Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, stands as a beacon of wisdom and enlightenment in the annals of history. His story transports us back to a time when the world was vastly different, yet his teachings continue to resonate across centuries. Imagine the ancient world, a tapestry of diverse cultures, beliefs, and practices. It was in this backdrop that Zoroaster emerged, offering a revolutionary perspective that would change the course of spiritual thinking forever. As we embark on this journey, let's set the stage by understanding the historical context. Zoroaster's life unfolded in ancient Persia (now know as Iran), a land of fertile valleys and towering mountains. A place where the sun's rays danced on the landscape and inspired profound thoughts in the hearts of those who lived there. Our journey takes us back to a time before the modern divisions of faith had taken shape. A time when the concept of monotheism was a rare and precious gem, hidden amidst a sea of polytheistic beliefs. Zoroaster's story is not just about a man; it's about a revolution of the mind and spirit. Throughout history, certain individuals have emerged as transformative figures, guiding humanity toward new horizons. Zoroaster was one such luminary. His teachings weren't just words; they were the birth of a fresh perspective, a unique way of looking at the cosmos, morality, and the nature of existence. In the chapters that follow, we'll explore every facet of Zoroaster's life. We'll trace his footsteps from his humble beginnings to his profound revelations. We'll walk alongside him as he shared his divine vision and navigated the challenges that come with challenging the status quo. Prepare to be captivated by his teachings—teachings that emphasized the battle between good and evil, the importance of ethical living, and the worship of a single divine entity, Ahura Mazda. These teachings weren't just intellectual constructs; they became the cornerstone of a religion that would influence countless lives and cultures. Our journey isn't just a chronological exploration; it's an immersion into the heart and soul of a visionary. We'll unravel the mysteries behind Zoroaster's creation of the “Avesta”, the sacred texts that preserved his wisdom for future generations. As we venture deeper, we'll uncover Zoroaster's legacy—the profound impact he left on the fabric of history, his influence on other belief systems, and his enduring relevance in modern times. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Our journey begins with the most fundamental step—a comprehensive understanding of Zoroaster's life. By peering into his world, we not only gain insights into the past but also unlock the keys to understanding our present and shaping our future. So, dear reader, fasten your seatbelt for an expedition into the depths of history. As we set out to discover the life and times of Zoroaster, let's keep our hearts and minds open, ready to be enlightened by the brilliance of a man who defied convention and illuminated the path toward truth. With curiosity as our guide, let's step back in time and venture into the captivating world of Zoroaster, the founder of Zoroastrianism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a Strong believer in the moral value of all major religions and as an advocate of interfaith understanding and religious harmony, I congratulate Mr Kabraji on his effort. His Holiness Dalai Lama 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, Zoroastrians: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices Zarathushtra was the greatest of all the pioneer prophets who showed the path of freedom to men, the freedom of moral choice, freedom from blind obedience to unmeaning injunctions freedom from multiplicity of shrines which draw our worship away from the single-minded chastity of devotion. Though surrounded by the believers in magical rites, he proclaimed in those dark days of unreason that Religion has its truth in its moral significance, not in external practices of imaginary value; that it is to upholdman in his life of good thoughts, good words and good deeds Rabindranath Tagore in the Religion of Man -Believe not what you hear; - believe not legends; - believe not gossip, - believe not what you are habituated to listening to since childhood; - believe not because it comes from the lips of the elders; - but apply it to your own study, examine it, ponder on it and believe only what your intelligence accepts.

Book excerpt: Zoroastrianism is one of the world's great ancient religions. In present-day Iran, significant communities of Zoroastrians (who take their name from the founder of the faith, the remarkable religious reformer Zoroaster) still practise the rituals and teach the moral precepts that once undergirded the officially state-sanctioned faith of the mighty Sasanian empire. Beyond Iran, the Zoroastrian disapora is significant especially in India, where the Gujurati-speaking community of exiles from post-Sasanian Iran call themselves 'Parsis'. But there are also significant Zoroastrian communities to be found elsewhere, such as in the USA, Britain and Canada, where western cultural contexts have shaped the religion in intriguing ways and directions. This new, thorough and wide-ranging introduction will appeal to anyone interested in discovering more about the faith that bequeathed the contrasting words 'Magi' and 'magic', and whose adherents still live according to the code of 'Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds.' The central Zoroastrian concept that human beings are continually faced with a choice between the path of 'good' and 'evil', represented by the contrasting figures of Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, inspired thinkers as diverse as Voltaire, Mozart and Nietzsche. Jenny Rose shows why Zoroastrianism remains one of the world's most inspiring and perennially fascinating systems of ethics and belief.

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.
