When the temples of zoroastrians / parsee were destroyed ... India gave them a shelter.... Personally speaking i have few parsee friends... very polite and humble people.
My parsee friend mistaken as a Muslim and nearly beaten to death. He cannot walk or barely talk, he was 29 year old just got married to a Hindu Girl 9 months ago.

Just prove through Quran, can you?

Fun fact: in islam there are some islamic scholars who claim that Zoroaster might be an islamic prophet. The teachings of Zoroastrian are *very* similar to those of islam considering that in some of the texts there are mention Ahlu al bayt ( you can search it) and almost identical descriptions and characteristics of Allah (God). It is important to note that allah didn’t reveal all of the prophets to his last messenger prophet muhammad. It is mentioned in the Quran that there was a huge number of prophets “ a prophet for every community” so the number might range in thousands.
Parsee's are actually persians that fled to india during muslim persecution so they are actually iranian.. parsee, or "Parsi" in the Persian language, literally means Persian. Also parsi is the un-arabized word for farsi (the persian/iranian language).
Islam is the Super ideology , It (Islam) will take over the world eventually, Zoroastrian religion has no chance to survive . So stop supporting stupid religions that got almost extinct by Islam .

When I was small, I had a dream with a tall almost giant Men with long hair but cover with some sort of cloth also had a long beard and strong body. I was holding him or his leg since I was small and he was very tall! I had the feeling of a father figure. 45 years later, I believed I had a dream with Ahura Mazda, the feeling of been protected never left me, Is why I'm here searching, I never knew about this religion at all and had never seen a picture of him but when I saw his picture it was like wow disbelieved it was him in my dream.

I am a Zoroastrain and I am teaching the good deed to my clients. Every man and woman gets results in their self esteem and relationships. I am building a worldwide Zoroastrain following.
Zoroastrians , yazidis , middle east christians (Assyrians , chaldeans , maronites , copts..etc..) , jews , hindus , sikhs , buddists ..etc.. all these victims of the satanic cult called Islam , must work together to educate the europeans about the evils of islam and make them aware that Muslims are using Immigration to Colonize and conquer Europe ..
The main theme of Zoroastrian is self purification through, Good Thoughts, Good Deeds and Good Words and following Asha (Truth, the law of Mother nature). Zoroastrian is not about worshiping fire, it is about respect, self enlightenment, self purification, self responsibility and owning the fruits of your action. It is about being Good for sake of Goodness. It is about doing the best to create the best society. You become friend of force of creation and create good things. You give human rights, equality of men and women, races, all religions are respected, as long as they promote good life for their followers. Fire is symbol of light, energy, equal warmth to all and a light in total darkness. Fire was one of the Gods before Zoroaster, but keeping fire in a cold country was something to preserve. If fire is not controlled it will burn everything, but once you control it, it is source of life. You have to control the fire inside and use it to build, instead of destruction. Stop tagging Zoroastrians as fire worshipers, it just shows how little you know.

Our Founding Father’s (USA) were very well read, and I was introduced to Zoroaster by John Adams in his influential essay, “Thoughts on Government”, written in 1776. The system of government that they devised, and that we still use today, was influenced by their understanding of great writers throughout all of history, including spiritual leaders like Zoroaster, Confucius, and Mahomet, as well as the great philosophers, Socrates, Milton, and Montesquieu. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Adams could easily quote from great men throughout antiquity without translations in Latin, Greek, Spanish and French. This includes lesser known greats like James Otis and John Dickinson. I am ashamed to compare our Founding generation (18th century) to our current one.
Zoroastrians had a much larger influence than that. Zoroastrianism had a SIGNIFICANT influence on all three Abraham of religions, including Judaism. Jews were under Persian rule for almost 12 centuries. During this time, there was a significant Persian influence. The Sadducees criticized the Pharisees for being “Persianizers”. Some Talmud Scholars actually theorize that Pharisees is derived from Farsi (Persian). The Talmud has over 300 Iranian loan words and there is a massive Zoroastrian influence there, especially regarding demonology. Talmud mentions Zoroastrian Magi more than it does of Jesus itself. One Example: Ashmedai is derived from Aeshma Deava. In fact, the Babylonian Talmud was written in Persia. Babylon was apart of Persia at that time, the Sassanian Persians ruled Babylon. Persians have ruled Babylon for almost a millennia since Cyrus the Great conquered it. It would be more accurate to say the Talmud was written and composed in Sassanid Persia. You can clearly see a stark difference in the beliefs of pre Babylonian exile Israelites and after. Zoroastrianism inspired the polytheist Hebrews to become monotheistic. Zoroastrianism of the Gathas was the first monotheistic religion in human history. Zoroastrians have their own concepts of a “chosen people” and a “promised land”. There is an idea in Zoroastrianism that Ahura Mazda, or the Lord of Wisdom, promised the Land of Iran to the Zoroastrians after a cataclysmic Ice Age event pushed the Zoroastrians out of Airyanem Vaejah. In Zoroastrianism, Airyanem Vaejah is the most perfect land created by Ahura Mazda, and it was the first of all the lands he created. In Zoroastrianism, there is the “Eran” and “Aneran” dichotomy, and in Judaism, there is the “Israelite” and “Gentile” dichotomy. Jacob Neusner has already shown that the Zoroastrian laws governing interactions between “Eran” and “Aneran” are identical to the Talmudic laws governing interactions between “Israelites” and “Gentiles”. In fact, Rabbinic Law is identical to Zoroastrian Law in all facets of life from marriage, money, raising children, purity laws, etc. Just look up how Parsis operate. They are the same. Jacob Neusner went as far to say that no two religions have more in common than Zoroastrianism and Judaism. In Zoroastrian texts, the quintessential “Aryan” look is hooked noses, pale skin, jet-black hair, and green/hazel eyes. In Zoroastrianism, that is the quintessential look of an Iranian (“Aryan”/ “Eran”). Zoroastrianism was a religion that was originally meant for Iranians only. You had to be Iranian to be Zoroastrian. In fact, the purity of the blood was of utmost importance during the ancient Persian Empires. Mixed marriages have always been looked at with disgust in Zoroastrianism, and Zoroastrianism has strict rules to keep the Iranian population homogenous. The ancient Zoroastrian clergy enforced these rules throughout all the Persian empires to help Iranians remain pure and maintain “Asha” or “cosmic order”. This is where the practice of “Xwedodah” was born to literally keep racial purity of Iranians. In Zoroastrianism, there is a term called “Boonak-Pasbaani” which literally means “purity of the blood or seed (toknam)”. Modern day Parsis have dropped the practice of “Boonak-Pasbaani” to increase their numbers. However, non-Zoroastrians and children of mixed Zoroastrian heritage are still not allowed into Zoroastrian temples. There is more scholarly work and research being done on this, but Zoroastrians are believed to have heavily influenced rabbinic Judaism. In Zoroastrianism, there is a paternal line while in Judaism, there is a maternal line. Jewish eschatology is strikingly similar to that of the Zoroastrian one. The concept of a “messiah”, a savior is believed to be of Zoroastrian origin. The concept of “Good vs Evil” is also Zoroastrian. The oldest Torah ever found was carbon dated to a time AFTER the Jewish people were in contact with the Zoroastrians. The Pentateuch (Five Books of Moses which are the Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) were written during the Persian Period (539-331BC). In fact, it is a theory that the Persian Zoroastrians themselves authorized the creation of the Torah to assimilate the polytheist Canaanites. Although academia has done its best to erase and completely wipe out all of Persian history and Zoroastrianism to keep the sham that is abrahamic religions going. It doesn’t help that 90% of Zoroastrian texts, including the oldest ones, were destroyed by Alexander of Macedonia and later the Arabic Islamic conquerors. The modern Zoroastrian holy texts of today are a fifth of what the original one was, and from this fraction of the original texts, we can see the striking similarities.

@David Majority of the Jewish population in the world lived in Persia between 600 BC and 600 AD, but it was definitely not ALL Jewish people. Important Jewish centers like Babylon were under continuous Persian rule for centuries, but the Land of Israel was NOT under Persian rule for a good chunk of time. And the oldest Zoroastrian texts founded are quite recent as well. It is true that Persia influenced all three abrahamic religions, but it is far fetched to claim that the Torah itself was influenced by Persia. The Persian influence is evident in the Talmud and later Jewish writings, not the Tanakh.
People from indian land always stood up for being there to protect religions and different belief system. A shout out to the Zoroastrian brothers and sisters reading this comment. Don't worry we won't let your religion fade away. You are the part of our diverse family. :)
Oh really? If your people gave a fuck they would convert back to Zoroastrianism you should convince your people to turn to Zoroastrianism a loss of a couple thousand followers wouldnt effect the legacy of Islam your people can't even practise Islam correctly take them for all I care
@@mariuscezar7374 Those who live in Iran because of Islamic regime in power are forced to follow the way they do. In india to bury their dead people they have a place called silence tower. These towers exist in iran but not in use.
It is not a mystery to find Parsis(followers of Zoroastrianism) in India. When Islam started spreading to Iran they were driven out by Muslims, hence the Parsis came to India as refugees, and the liberal broad minded Hindus allowed them to settle down and also allowed them to practise their religion. These events are well documented in history.
Shia of Iran are Hetrodox Muslims they follow a Hetrodox version of Islam with Zoroastrian culture mixed. So Iran is still much more Zoroastiran that it is thought by the whole World. I had been there and I know this.
I hold great respect for your people, you have held to the ways of your ancestors for many centuries, and I am sure that they look on you with pride as well.
+Gaya Marɘtan Indeed ,it is the fact . Magi means priesthood in Zoroastrian and might be called magician in that time period . However ,magi studied the star and astrology due to the needs for agriculture Society , and 3 wise men that is mention in bible are indeed the magi (priesthood ). IN old Persian they were called magus and it is mentioned first by Darius the great in behistun inscriptions . Later on it took another name after Arab Conquest and became majoos . It was name given to Iranians by Arabs since they did not have letter gh in Arabic alphabet and change to J . Also,it is Derogatory reference by Arabs toward Iranian (untouchable )infidels .
I'm from Iran and I decided finally be in ancestors religious zartoshti.. I search very years and live some years in yazd I know zartoshti people can't help other for going. To zartoshti . They are afriad but now milions young people in Iran no want Islam and religious . I am atheist but opposite Islam and save our ancestors religious we must be. Zartoshti...
I won't comment you on reversing to Zoroastrianism but you should definitely visit India and meet parsis as they kept your ancestors religion alive. You'll definitely learn many things from them
Gaya Marɘtan we don't worship elements but we have respect for them. We worship only Ahura Mazda. Also all Zoroastrians are supposed to be conservative in terms of values and morals, regarding your answer to conversion policies, but being conservative doesn't mean we don't allow converts.
Darius Ashkani Of course they do. The Zarathustrians always worshipped the material creations which were fashioned by the creator Ahura Mazda. You just have to read the Avesta to understand this.
As a Kurdish thank you for this video. My ancestors were Zarahostarian before Islam. And still Kurdish speakers Ezidi/Yezidi people sharing similar faith with it. Again thank you for informations.
Good account but something most be pointed out, when Zoroastrianism was a dominant religion in Persia they encouraged people to convert to their faith and they didn't have a problem with conversions and in fact Zarathustra like any other Prophet wanted people to adopt his religion. However, when Persia was conquest most people were forced to become Muslim and many Zoroastrian fire temples were burned to the ground, as well as their many holy books, which forced Zoroastrians to leave Persia and move to India (they would be consider today as refugees). India agreed to give them sanctuary as long as they kept a low profile, which means they couldn't spread their faith. Back to Iran, when Zoroastrianism was reduced to nearly irrelevance, the Islamic authorities came to tolerate Zoroastrians as long as they didn't try to convert Muslims into their religion (a crime punished even by dead in the Islamic Republic). My point is that Zoroastrians don't have a "suicidal" mentality regarding conversions or interracial marriages because they are narrow minded but rather as the result of an extreme historical context that forced them to accept to become a tiny cast in order to survive at all. What surprises me is the reluctance of the modern Zoroastrian priests to accept conversions even in the XXI century. I have no doubts that many people would convert, specially Iranians who are fed up with Islam and feel Zoroastrianism represents better the rich Persian history and culture. If Zoroastrian priests accepted conversions I have no doubt that this religion would survive and thrive, but apparently this priests prefer to see their faith dying than accept converts.
Victor Hugo Indian government offers various gifts be it cash of any other thing when zoroastrian women give birth, does that mean that India forces Parsis to keep a low profile? 😂
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is another obstacle. while Zoroastrianism is constitutionally protected in Iran the IRGC tries to downplay its influence in Iran as to appeal to the larger global Islamic community. Much of the Sunni Arab bias towards Shia is that they are Persophiles and apostates who are more predisposed to pre-Islamic Persian culture. I think with the recent protests as well as ISIL and the recent alignment with Orthodox Christians in Russia and the Middle East will lead the country away from Islam and closer towards Zoroastrianism. But still a ways down the line
Who ARE the Zoroastrian priests to not accept conversions? Its because of their hypocrisy there only 200, 000 Zoroastrians nowdays, otherwise there would be more 100 millions of new converts. Every individual of Iranian origin from Kurdistan till Pakistan is considered as Zoroastrian! Both my parents are Iranians so I consider myself 100% Zoroastrian.
Only Parsis (in India and elsewhere) do not accept converts. True Persian Zoroastrians (in Iran, America and elsewhere) DO accept converts, as they want the religion to flourish again.
We are really lucky to have Parsi community in India. Many great Indians are/were Parsi. It is one of the most respected communities in India. I hope their number increase.🇮🇳

You're the one who doen't know anything about Islam ! look at what they did to Persia after conquering it ! 60.000 people beheaded in a night and they took 300.000 slaves !
They were conquest by the Muslim Arabs in the 7th century and forced by the point of the sword to gradually to accept Islam. After that there was little to do since even today leaving Islam is considered an act of "apostasy" and punished by death, that's why Islam is such a tight and controlling political system. And that's how Islam works: forcing people by the sword to convert to Islam and then forbidden them to leave Islam. That's why there won't be a revival of Zoroastrianism in Iran. However, Kurdistan is experiencing a phenomenon of conversions to Zoroastrianism after the atrocities committed by ISIS pushed many Muslims to leave Islam, but I'm not sure how far will that go.
Zorastrains dead body is kept in open space but in a specific place called the "Tower of Silence" or "Dakhma" so the vultures can eat the dead body. And by this they are doing good deed after death also by feeding their dead bodies to scavenging birds,and also don't pollute soil, water, air by burying or cermating. For more information on TOS en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Silence
Thats right......in India they just cremate the bodies and dump them in the ghajis river and pollute the fuck out of it. Or the sect of holy men (forgot the actual name) eat and fornicate with the dead. Because thats ok XD But placing the dead at a Dakhma where it would do nothing but benefit the surroundings is a bad thing lmfao

The Magi and the prophet Zoroaster (Zarathustra) has always been an element in western culture from way back.In many operas like those of Handel and Mozart there is a figure called Sarastro who is seen as a wise and benign white magician.He appears as such in Mozart's opera the "Magic Flute" where his opponent is the evil queen of the Night.There is also a mid eighteenth century French opera called Zoroastre by Jean Phillipe Rameau -one of the greatest of French composers.The work has been revived recently in many opera houses and I have a DVD of a Swedish production -it is very beautiful! Then the great German philosopher Nietzsche wrote "Thus Spake Zarathustra" which was set to music by Richard Strauss and opens up with that magnificent drumroll and fanfare which represents the prophet Zoroaster viewing the sunrise from a mountain peak.This music was used in the Stanley Kubrick film "2001 a Space Odyssey" and when the Indian company Tata(who are Parsees) launched a new mini-car in India they used the Richard Strauss theme in the background -a person in the know like myself identified the musical reference immediately!
I am a proud unofficial follower. I have always been fascinated by fire, light, stars, galaxies, etc. Then I learned about this religion and I was like, damn. That's me.
@Boston 508617 This discussion was interesting before arrogant racist America got involved; Moslems did not do 9/11 and it emerges with research that world atrocities blamed on Moslems often not don't by them but the culprits want world hatred for Moslems. Which country would want that the most? Israel apparently. Time after time evidence links the latter to atrocities around the world.

Can find more information on avesta.org or r/zoroastrianism too. There are congregations which accept converts also, including the Iranian or Kurdish ones.
Many of the things you have mentioned here are related to a later version of Zoroastrianism practiced during and after the Sassanid dynasty of Persia. The only text remaining of prophet zoroaster himself is believed to be the Gathas and none of the things mentioned on the video except the belief in good thoughts, good words and good deeds and the possibility for humans to understand goodness through logic are found in that text meaning that they have been added later. This doesn't mean that your account is wrong though, it simple means that there are two different versions of the religion in the world.

With respect the exegesis of that text doesn’t deny Jesus’ deity. Jesus claims to be God and is written of by the Apostles to be God, the one God and Creator of all things. Jesus even claims to be God after His resurrection, so if Jesus says He’s God I believe then the exegesis of that passage quotes can not be intended as such.

@@arpr7043 most of Persia/Iran follows Islam but now that I think of it they're probably just faking it and going half half so they don't die. who knows we shall see.
@@mrhalfwit972 there is no half half. Most people in Iran don't like Islam espiacaly in the last 40 years. There are some religion people but they are a small percentage. Most people are actually atheists.
***** sorry what? Azerbaijan? It comes from Atropat. If you say how? Atropat became Aturpakan and Aturpakan Became Adurbagan and in 7th century it became Azerbaijan

@pc gold go and read about the Dönmeh jews, Ashkenazi jews and Khazarer jews. and you will see how they have brainwashed sheepshead like you for the last 300 years
@pc gold "khazars was namdic jew sturkic mongol origin", brain dead fool listen to you selv! how can they call the caspian sea for daryā-e khazar? that is only one small exempel, I don't have time for a sheephead like you. go and take a look at Nasser Pourpirar s work
Yes because vultures are dying out due to lack of cadavers. As little wildlife they uesd to feed on dead sheep here and there. Due to scapie and BSE cadavers are burnt nowadays. Vultures in Spain foe example have nearly dissapeared. Iran and India has the same problem, but I doubt the few Zoroastrians could make a difference. Hindus could stop throwing bodies into the rivers as vultures cant swim and water gets polluted. Its nice of them to think of the crocs though. Roasting the bodies on fire is also not ideal if you care for the forests. We feed ducks, why not vultures?
I live in Central India Amaravti district of Maharashtra. In my city there is a parsi zoroastrian fire Temple. We call it Agyari in India. During the recent census of India, I came to know that there are only countable 5-10 families left in my city. That makes me feel sad.
I am a Hindu Brahmin and let me explain some Zoroastrianism concept to you people 1) It is one of most ancient organized religion together with Vedic Religion. 2) It has belief system of Asha which means Divine Faith. 3) They venerate 4 elements of Nature as aspects of God, we worship 5 the fifth being Sky or Space . 4) The God is one but has definite symbol that is fire and light. In the way that God is light, life and wisdom. 5) The God is abstract and formless. Once Mind should be fixed on God. Similar tenants are so found in Vedic Religion.
George RR Martin brought me here (he said in an interview that when he was Writing Game of Thrones, he based the Lord of Light and thier followers on the Zoroastrians)
I have always wanted to learn more about The Zoroaster ! The first time I heard about him, it was about him being a fallen angel... I must come back to watch this video.
Yes and hindu save Zoroastrian ..Hindu give life to them...Hindu never fight with islam bit islam have threat that hindu ideology can defeat them so christian and Islamic scholar spend more money on conversation in india ..But not by parsi ..That's why we love them
Ernest Hemingway actually, you only have to pay a small tax to practice your religion under islam. i mean, why do you think balkans or spain arent majorly islamic? Or even india for that matter? Simple. They just pain a small fee and practiced any religion they wanted, they could even create their own religion for that matter, islam specifically tells people not to forcefully convert people
Edin743 Still though, stop paying that tax and stuff doesn't go so well. You shouldn't have to pay what is effectively a bribe to avoid forceful conversion.
As a Zoroastrian Kurd, I’m so happy that people gets to know my religion better. thank you for making this video and again thanks to AhurMazda for showing me this video 🙏🏽
A fairly good account, except for some serious mispronunciations like druj (pronounced drooj) and Navjote (pronounced simply as nav-jote). Also, it is predicted that Zoroastrianism spread to Germany as well - no mention of it here. Other than that, a good account of the religion & it's beliefs. Thank you for posting! Blessings!
Thank you for the corrections! This video was made for a research project in school, and I am certain that you know a lot more about the religion than I do. I have not heard of Zoroastrianism spreading to Germany, but that is an interesting fact that I will need to look into.
Zoroastrianism was founded in Bactria, Afghanistan. Zoroaster was born in Bactria. Of course Bactria was just part of the Persian empire at that time and Bactrians were a tribe, now called Pakhtoons, in Afghanistan. The Aryans. You can say that Iran and Afghanistan are both the land of the Aryans. And plus, Pakhto derives from Avestan. So Avestan still lives on today.
Sorry to disappoint you - but I shall have to politely disagree with you & your findings! Historically & Geographically - But I'm not about to debate this further, so PEACE be with you - Over & Out.
There is nothing remotely mysterious about how and why Zoroastrianism made it's way to India. Zoroastrianism served as the state religion of the pre-Islamic Iranian empires. After the the Islamic conquest, Zoroastrianism was suppressed. Those who would not convert to Islam suffered greatly. It was at this time that there was a mass displacement of Zoroastrian to India. Where they sought safety and the freedom to practice their religion. This was given, but only on the grounds that they where not to seek new converts.
India has all kinds of refugees - Even the Jews after Battle of Masada with Romans, Fled to India in 80 A.D. In 1960, Tibetans fled to India and now 500,000 Tibetans live in India after Chinese Communist Party (CCP) occupied their homeland.
@@melodicnostalgic3823 and yet I see people hating on India in the comment sections. Lol we indians must be taking "Atithi devo bhava" or " Guests are (like) Gods" too seriously and should stop doing that maybe then people will start respecting India.
Multiple sources hold that the "Three Wise Men" or "Three Kings" of the Gospel tales are actually Three Magi--which makes sense on multiple levels and makes the story both less mysterious but more mystical.
@Somali Kid I'm from a Muslim majority district in India. Many Muslims there end up giving themselves these generic Arabic names. The men wear thobes while countless women from a very young age wear burqas. They would rather be the slaves of Arabs than to acknowledge their heritage with Hindus. Of course many Indian Muslims aren't like that.
The zoroastrian funeral rites are like Tibetan funeral rites as they both allow the animals to eat , usually its the birds of the air that they are offered to , the vultures are usually the first on the scene. The bodies are wrapped in a white cloth and placed on a homemade scaffold made of wooden sticks . As they lay on they're backs the body faces the sky and the body will become a part of the vultures body , or any other animal or insect that eats dead things. And the soul returns to the source, as it is energy that cannot be destroyed only relocated . The Tibetans believe the soul is still near the body many days after a person has died. Monks are called to talk to the persons soul and guide them . The Tibetan book of the dead and the Egyptian book of the dead are great books , I read them . I didnt realize how close the zoroastrian rites and the Tibetan rituals were so close till today, thx for this video.
You really shouldn't. There are, by judgement of the fruits, inferior (destructive, disharmonious) and superior (nourishing, causing harmony) religions or philosophies. Judging by numbers and empiric study it is beyond any doubt that Isl'm is the worst of the worst through all of history. I respect many muzlmz but the ideology itself deserves zero respect.
There were some issues but one major one was that Ahura Mazda was presented in human image. While in the teachings of Zoroaster, God is presented as an abstract entity that should be realized in mind. . God by no means is manifested in any physical form but through the Divine attributes: Wisdom, Truth and Justice, Inner strength and Good rule, Peace and Love, Wholeness and Immortality. Every man and woman through attainment of the Divine attributes can become whole and immortal as God.
+Donald Moderational Thank you for pointing this out. I am not of the religion and made this video as a school project with limited time for research, so it is helpful when people more familiar can help correct such things for me.
Khalil01; and some of the wise say akhnaton taught it in the mystery schools of Egypt, of which Moses attended and missioned to seek another land and spread the wisdom teachings.
Gary d; haha that's nice, had a quick search and seems it was unsuccessful, as they lacked sufficient cable. the article I read, concludes; not used as a delay. I was being serious, think your having a stir hey?
I hope to convert to Zoroastrianism through my own practice of following the teachings of Zarathustra and reading the prayers in the Gathas. Even if I can never be accepted into the Zoroastrian community.
Zoroastrianism played a major role on Jewish, Christian and Islamic mythology. One popular notion, is a Devil or "bad" God competing against the "good" God.
Kev Zen That's were you are wrong about Judaism and Christianity. Satan is not a god nor is he equal to God. Plus Judaism was being practiced before Zoroaster was born.
Your numbers are incorrect. There are 120,000-130,0000 Zoroastrians left in India and around 40,000 Zoroastrians in Iran but there are also an estimated 120,000 Zoroastrians living in the West which means the true figure is nearer 300,000.
Zoroastrism came out of Balkh Afghanistan. Like you know Afghans are very religious and back then Afghans were religious in this religion. The persian of that time accepted zoroastrism as their religion too. But they deny that they were converts. Iran now steals others Folks history not that they are not afraid of stealing but because they are not ashamed of stealing.
Achaemenid empire were Zoroastrians What is the connection between Zoroastrianism/ The Avesta and the Vedic religion?? They came to be at around the same period -1500 BC
@@aishaomar2695 we have special place for it that's far from public places. And it seems right, because it's how cycle of nature works in our opinion. It's good to after your death,your body still is useful at least for animals.
Zoroaster was born around 1000BC in Airyanem Vaejah which is east of the Iranian/Persian plateau and it covers the western region of what is now modern day Tajikistan. That area is the origin of the Aryan people, the Persians descended from there, Avestan language developed a dialect that created the Old Persian language. Funny enough the same eastern Persian region in the past millennia known as Khorasan revived the Persian language which is what it is today.
