Contact us ZOROASTRIAN Zoroastrianism The Ancient Persian Religion AVESTA 101 NAMES ANGELS CALENDAR BACKGROUND The ZOROASTRIAN religion (ZARATHUSHTI in Persian Language) was brought to light by The Great Prophet ZARATHUSHTRA HAECHATASPA SPITAMA . "ZOROASTER" is the most current of various Greek forms of his first name. The exact date of the birth of our religion is still being debated by scholars. However, it is widely believed that our religion started about 5000 years ago, in ancient Persia (Today Iran).
Long before Zarathushtra was born, his arrival was proclaimed in the sky by visions of his FRAVASHI
The parents of Zarathushtra were POURUSHASPA and DOGHDOVA . Zarathushtra was born in the North-Eastern of Ancient Persia, on KHORDAD the 6th day of the month FRAVARDIN “Zarathushtra” of the Spitama family (He of the golden light).

Hinduism FAQ
Hinduism and Zoroastrianism: The history of Indian thought commences only when the Aryans of Central Asia separated themselves into two groups, the one making through Afghanistan to India and the other spreading over the territory called Iran. ( Gilbert Murray The Avesta is nearer the Veda than the Veda to its own epic Sanskrit. ( Dr. Mills Varuna is the god of sky...He is identical with the Greek Ouranos and the Ahuramazda of the Avesta. ( S.Radhakrishnan Like the Rigvedic Aryans, the ancient Iranians worshipped gods like Mitra, Vayu, Verutraghna. They also wore the sacred thread and worshipped fire. They had a social organization that was in some ways similar to the Vedic occupation based social system. Zoroastrian religion was practiced mostly in Iran, or the ancient Persia. Its founder Zarathushtra was born in ancient Iran. The ancient Iranians were Aryans and the world Iran is actually a corrupt form of the word Aryan. The Iranian Aryans were cousins of the Indian Aryans and the language spoken by them was similar to Sanskrit in many ways. They came from the same stock and probably might have even lived together for sometime before parting ways. However apart from these similarities, there was little else common between Zoroastrianism founded by Zarathushtra and the Vedic Religion that took shape in India. Some differences also seemed to have cropped between Zoroastrians and the Vedic people during the later period as is evident from the use of certain epithets which denote some degree of animosity. The Iranian Ahura (God) became the Indian asura (demon) and the Indian devas (gods) became the Iranian equivalent of evil spirits.

Magazine Published on Sundays Features: Magazine Literary Review Life Metro Plus ... Magazine A Zoroastrian Tapestry The Zoroastrians are the followers of the Iranian Prophet Spitaman Zarathustra, who lived in the Iranian homeland of Airyanem Vaejah c.1200 BCE. In the Tenth Century CE, a small group of Zoroastrians originally from the province of Khorasan landed onthe western coast of India and were given sanctuary by the Hindu king Jadi Rana. In time, the Parsis, as they came to be known, settled in enclaves along the western coast of India. They migrated to Bombay in the 17th Century at the invitation of the East India Company, where they prospered as agents of social change.

Parsi Woman, circa 1864
By Jenny Rose
Columbia University, New York
Encyclopaedia Iranica
The approach to divorce in the Zoroastrian community seems to have changed considerably in the period following the Arab conquest. The early 9th-century Revayat of Aturfarnbag Farnbag-Strosh mentioned divorce in the case of a man whose wife is "bad" and "insubordinate" and who sleeps with non-Iranians whilst her husband is away from home. In such a case the legitimate marriage is dissoluble, provided the wife consented. But the husband may choose to keep his wife with the intention to improve her, because by "doing so he reinforces the truth and goodness of the true faith in this world." This attitude to divorce is reinforced in the later Rivayat , where the husband is only allowed to divorce his legitimate wife with her consent, unless her misdemeanors have been discovered. Zoroastrian divorce laws, however, were subject to alteration and modification that reflect different exigencies at different times. In the later Rivayats, the matter of divorce is again raised, following a detailed discussion regarding the age of marriage, the negotiating of marriage contracts, the five kinds of marriage, the marriage ceremony and the division of the patrimony.

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.

Zoroastrian Association of Arizona (ZAAZ) is a non-profit, socio-cultural organization founded by Dr. Darius Ghaswala, and Mr. Phiroz Rivetna on May 6, 1988. Its main aim is bring together Zoroastrians (Parsis as we are commonly referred to) of diverse backgrounds. It includes families from the Phoenix area, Tucson, and Payson. We celebrate Zoroastrian festivals such as Navroz (New Year's which is on March 21) and Pateti (August). We have monthly events such as a picnic, movie night, meetings. Events are organized by an elected committee which has a tenure of two years. Mission Statement The main objectives of the organization are:
  • promote brotherhood and unity among Zoroastrians.
  • inspire religious thought and feeling among Zoroastrian children.
  • examine and pursue ways and means of perpetuating the Zoroastrian faith. Zoroastrianism is a religion which originated 3,500 years ago in Persia (modern day Iran). It got it's name from the prophet Zarathustra who attained revelation at the age of 30 years. His teaching are called the Gathas which when loosely translated mean "Hymns". They are the answers to spiritual questions about what is the purpose of man's life? Where do we come from and where do we go?

    Families of Religions Zoroastrianism Combination Zoroaster, an Iranian religious reformer living in about 600 BCE, having received a vision from Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, proclaimed a kingdom of justice that promised immortality and bliss. Containing both monotheistic and dualistic features, the religion influenced Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The history of the world was seen as a drama in 3,000 year periods. The Ahura Vairya is the most sacred prayer of this religion and the Avesta is the sacred text. Zoroastrianism continues in Iran and in India where the Parsees carry on the traditions.

    Z OROASTRIAN C OSMO- G ENESIS
    IF the Orientalists, through their peculiar method of reading Zend, Pahalvi and Pazand, have disfigured the import of Zoroastrian texts, they have at least done the service of drawing to them the attention of the Western world. There are two occidental volumes which have misled western readers these many years Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra, and Samuel Laing's A Modern Zoroastrian. The former has deceived only the bourgeois mind into believing that Nietzsche's Zoroaster was anything else but an imaginary figure of the German writer. The latter has done more serious damage; the author, a materialistic rationalist of repute, but a poor philosopher and a worse metaphysician, harnessed his badly digested reading on the religion of the Parsis (reading presumably done in his capacity as a globe-trotter) to adorn his thesis on the dualism of matter-polarity. His volume is excellent reading from the standpoint of science and his remarks on Zoroastrian dualism are very interesting, but the title is a misnomer. The book has misled even Parsis, especially those unfamiliar with the real metaphysics and philosophy of their own religion. Orientalists began speaking of the religion of Zoroaster as dualism, and Laing, the scientist, confirmed the theory so, it became canonical! Let the following be first grasped: the functions of the good and evil forces in Zoroastrian cosmology represent definite philosophic concepts; the activities of the same powers in anthropology and mythos are also distinct ideas; their psychological and human aspects make up a story by themselves, different again from the other two. Not only the different eras in which evolution of the duality-idea took place, have to be noted, but also the fact that different teachers used the same words and names to designate distinct ideas universal or personal, cosmic or psychological, mythical or allegorical.

    THE modern world has elevated the cult of the personal to an art; so much is this the prevailing ideal that in dealing with old world documents up-to-date savants forget that spiritual teachers of yore labored for the impersonal; they not only advocated for their pupils, and themselves practised, the destruction of the sense of separateness, which is the soul of that cult, but also applied the principle in and to their own public and exoteric work. In every case we find the personality of the teacher almost lost in the mass of teachings and traditions which have gathered round his name. The name itself becomes the mask that hides more than one personality. It was an universal custom in the ancient world for the Teacher to assume a Name-Title occultly indicative of his mission and those who continued His work adopted it; thus the teacher's name invariably became a generic appellation of the School he founded, e.g.
