ZOROASTRIANISM


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.
