Zoroastrianism or the Religion of the Parsis is a monotheistic form of religion. Its founder was the Holy Zarathushtra Spitama (Zartosh-i-Spitaman) i.e., Zoroaster, the descendant of Spitama. The religion believes in the existence of one God, whom it knows under the names of Mazda, Ahura and Ahura-Mazda, the last form being one that is most commonly found in the later writings of Avestha. The religion has undergone more than usual fluctuations and vicissitudes.
It is hoped that these scholarly works of ever-lasting value would be consulted in our sub-continent and abroad. |
