Who is Zoroaster?<\/h2>\n

\"zerd\u00fc\u015ft<\/p>\n

Zoroaster is known as the person who pioneered the Zoroastrian religion, and its story dates back to the sixth century BC. Researchers cannot find a common opinion about the clarity of the region where it was born or lived due to its period. Although certain clarifications indicate that it is Iranian, this situation has not yet been clarified. At the same time, some data suggest that Zarathustra’s life was only ‘based on legends’.<\/p>\n

The Zoroastrian person, located at the intersection of guesses and legends, is known for revealing the religion of ‘Zoroastrianism’. With the spread of the Zoroastrian belief after his death, Zoroaster also mobilizes multiple masses. So why do the people around support the belief that Zarathustra created and not an ordinary person? When many religious events or concepts were flying in the air due to the conditions of the period, Zoroastrianism was seen as a ‘wise’ and even a ‘prophet’ by the people. This takes Zarathustra one step ahead of the common folk and makes him a ‘person to be heard’. Of course, this situation can be considered the most critical feature of Zoroaster in the eyes of the people.<\/p>\n

The religion of Zoroastrianism, which emerged in Iranian geography, also draws attention with its philosophical views according to its period. When the devotion to the concept of polytheism in Iran is accepted as the opposite by Zoroaster, this understanding is found very interesting by the people. The fact that the Zoroastrian belief consisted of different rules compared to the other religions of the period made people uneasy. However, with the emergence of this mysterious opinion, the Persian Empire’s official acceptance of the Zoroastrian belief may give us clues that the people accepted the faith. With the new belief system brought by Zoroaster, fundamental innovations are inevitable for the Empire and the people.<\/p>\n

What kind of religion is Zoroastrianism?<\/h2>\n

In Zoroastrianism, ‘good and evil’ concepts are of great importance. It is believed that a person who believes in the existence of the invisible line between good and evil should always think about the good while choosing good or evil in their own life. In other words, in Zoroastrianism, people should always tend towards the good. Known as the founder of the Zoroastrian religion, Zoroaster says that the conflict and evil in the world are between the spirit of God and the spirit of the devil. According to ancient Persian mythology, the concept of the spirit of God means “Holy Spirit<\/strong>“, “good light<\/strong>“. It is defined as fighting in the name of good. The only thing people believing in Zoroastrianism religion must end this fight.<\/p>\n

The Holy God “Ahura Mazda”, who appears on the side of goodness in the Zoroastrian faith, is considered the lord of knowledge according to the Zoroastrians. In this belief, the God called “Ahriman” is seen as a principle that reveals evil and dark deeds. According to the Zoroastrian belief, it is stated that Ahura Mazda and Ahriman Gods are in a constant war: the war of good and evil.<\/p>\n

Ahura Mazda’s creation of animals that are beneficial to nature and innocent and Ahriman’s creation of predatory and bloodthirsty animals is described as an indicator of an unceasing war between two gods.<\/p>\n

A book called “Avesta” is unique to the Zoroastrian religion and was written in the ancient period. This book can be considered the holy book of believers in the Zoroastrianism religion. As it can be seen, there is no place for anything that is poorly remembered or said in the Zoroastrian faith! In the content of the Avesta, the chapters written by Zoroaster are described as ‘important and special parts’. The quatrains contained in it, which are called “Gata”, have such beautiful meanings in ancient Hindi as “singing poetry”.<\/p>\n
