Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pious Citizens, Ringer tells the story of a major intellectual revolution in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century India and Iran, one that radically transformed the role of religion in society. At this time, key theological debates revolved around Zoroastrianism’s capacity to generate “progress” and “civilization.” Armed with both the destructive and creative capacities of historicism, reformers reevaluated their own religious tradition, molding Zoroastrian belief and practice according to contemporary ideas of rational religion and its potential to create pious citizens. Ringer demonstrates how rational and enlightened religion, characterized by social responsibility and the interiorization of piety, was understood as essential for the development of modern individuals, citizens, new public space, national identity, and secularism. She argues persuasively that reformers believed not only that social reform must be accompanied by religious reform but that it was in fact a product of religious reform. Pious Citizens offers new insights into the theological premises behind the promotion of secularism, the privatization of religion, and the development of new national identities. Ringer’s work also explores growing connections between the Iranian and Indian Zoroastrian communities and the revival of the ancient Persian past.

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: Excerpt from Zoroastrianism Ancient and Modern: Comprising a Review of Dr. Dhalla's Book of Zoroastrian Theology The courageous action of that great Parsi, the late lamented Sir Dinshah Dhanjibhai Davar in convincing his colleagues on the board of the Parsi Panchayat Trustees, that Dr. Dhalla's book on Zoroastrian Theology was not worthy of the Trustees support, inasmuch as it was written along heterodox lines that were calculated to injure the deep-rooted religious sentiments of the large majority of his co-religionists, by reason of the doubts and ridicule cast therein on their time-hallowed tenets and practices, aroused great indignation and much recrimination in the tiny camp of so-called Keformers, but gave intense satisfaction to the community at large. It will be a matter of further satisfaction to my co-religionists (barring a handful of misguided Progress(! )-valas) that Ervad Pheroze Shahpoorji Masani, that energetic, enthusiastic and learned Athornan, who has won deserved popularity by his courageous efforts after religious revival and social purity, should have undertaken the task of publishing a detailed reply to the many harmful doctrines and interpretations which Dr. Dhalla has ventilated in that book. It is no doubt true that the ideas embodied in "Zoroastrian Theology" are not in any sense new or original, but are repetitions of what a thimbleful of self-styled reformers(!) have been moving heaven and earth, in season and out of season, to promulgate in the Parsi community; and though the latter, as a whole, has treated such attempts with silent con tempt, and turned a sneering deaf-ear to the fads of the more or less materialistic Sudharavalas, it might be as well to have in print a reply to these oft repeated arguments from one who is well qualified to refute them. Ervad Masani has received high University education and has for nearly twelve years made a study of the Parsi Scriptures in their original languages, the Avesta and Pahlavi.

Download or read book The Zoroastrian Flame written by Sarah Stewart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many centuries, from the birth of the religion late in the second millennium BC to its influence on the Achaemenids and later adoption in the third century AD as the state religion of the Sasanian Empire, it enjoyed imperial patronage and profoundly shaped the culture of antiquity. The Magi of the New Testament most probably were Zoroastrian priests from the Iranian world, while the enigmatic figure of Zarathushtra (or Zoroaster) himself has exerted continual fascination in the West, influencing creative artists as diverse as Voltaire, Nietzsche, Mozart and Yeats. This authoritative volume brings together internationally recognised scholars to explore Zoroastrianism in all its rich complexity. Examining key themes such as history and modernity, tradition and scripture, art and architecture and minority status and religious identity, it places the modern Zoroastrians of Iran, and the Parsis of India, in their proper contexts. The book extends and complements the coverage of its companion volume, The Everlasting Flame.

Download or read book The Hymns of Zoroaster written by M. L. West and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08-31 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zoroaster was one of the greatest and most radical religious reformers in the history of the world. The faith that he founded some 2600 years ago in a remote region of central Asia flourished to become the bedrock of a great empire as well as its official religion. Zoroastrianism is still practised today in parts of India and Iran and in smaller communities elsewhere, where its adherents are known as Parsis. It has the distinction of being one of the most ancient religions in the world: only Hinduism can lay claim to greater antiquity. The foundation texts of this venerable system of belief are the founder's own passionate poems, known as the Gathas ('Songs'), and a short ritual composed soon after his death, called the Liturgy in Seven Chapters. These hymns are the authentic utterances of a religious leader whose thought was way ahead of his time, and are among the most precious relics of human civilization. After so many millennia they continue to speak to us of an impressively austere theology and of an inspiring and easily understood moral code. Yet existing translations are few, divergent in their interpretations of the original Avestan language of Zoroaster, and frequently hard to access. M L West's new translation, based on the best modern scholarship, and augmented by a substantial introduction and notes, makes these powerfully resonant texts available to a wide audience in clear and accessible form. 'A thoroughly worthwhile and refreshingly readable translation of the Older Avesta, M L West's book will be widely welcomed, by students and general readers alike.' - Almut Hintze, Zartoshty Reader in Zoroastrianism, School of Oriental and African Studies, London

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest religions, though it is not among the best understood. Originating with Iranian tribes living in Central Asia in the second millennium BCE, Zoroastrianism was the official religion of the Iranian empires until Islam superseded it in the seventh century AD. Centered on the worship of Ahura Mazda, the All-knowing Ruler, Zoroastrianism follows the practices and rituals set out by the prophet Zarathustra, according to the indigenous tradition. As one of the world's great religions, Zoroastrianism has a heritage rich in texts and cultic practices. The texts are often markedly difficult to translate, but in this volume, Prods Oktor Skjærvø, professor of ancient Iranian languages and culture at Harvard, provides modern and accurate translations of Zoroastrian texts that have been selected to provide an overview of Zoroastrian beliefs and practices. In a comprehensive introduction to these sacred texts, Skjærvø outlines the history and essence of Zoroastrianism and discusses the major themes of this the first fully representative selection of Zoroastrian texts to be made available in English for over a century.

Book excerpt: This obscure and ancient religion is receiving more and more attention in modern times due to its claimed influence upon Christianity.
