We have suffered the scarcity of the socialist years, and surfeited on the excesses of the consumerist age. Perhaps it is time to draw a balance, and arrive at the ethical and intelligent approach of thrift. More>>
Save a few Iranian villages and India—the last Parsi bastion—the
ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism has almost disappeared
from the modern world. Founded by the Persian prophet Zarathustra
(or Zoroaster) around the 6th century BC, Zoroastrianism is a
highly ethical religion. This stems from the strongly dualistic
philosophy of the religion, which perceives Creation to be divided
between Ahura Mazda, the creator, and Aura Mainyu, His evil opponent.
The
Zend-Avesta or the Book of Law, is the religious
text of the Zoroastrians. Compiled over centuries, the text, at
present, is a collection of various religious writings, hymns
and ritualistic invocations.
