The Indian Origin Of Zoroastrianism & The Parsees |  

Thank you for this simple, clear and understandable explanation of the origin of Zooastrianism. When you described him as the first prophet with the first revealed religion, all sorts of things fell into place in my mind. Thanks!

A very interesting fact :- The Zoroastrians perform the Yagya with water instead of fire as we see in Sanatan Dharma, shows rebellion I guess.

Zorostrians Worship Fire just as Vedic People.

Only if the Islamic Republic of Iran was not so oppressive, scores of Iranians would have openly reverted back to Zoroastrianism.

In a language where s and h are interchanged, where mas (month) becomes mah, ahura mazda is actually asura mahada (mahadev)!

Me after watching your every single video I am like:Aapke charan kaha hai prabhu??

Thank you for this intersting video. As an Iranian, I'm very curious about the origin of our race and religion from the perspective of Hindus. because personly I believe the most realistic and near to truth story comes from east instead of west.it would be great if you reveal more information about Iranian and Indian relation.

Sir, you're my biggest inspiration ❤

He is the Next Rajiv dixit 🙏🇮🇳❤

We Hayastani people were also Zoroastrian until 330 AD. Hayastan had suddenly a stupid King Trdat who converted to Christianity and ordered all Hayastani people to convert to Christianity but 50% of us said NO WAY and escaped Hayastan and went to Yazd and Isfahan. I wonder if we are mixed in there in India with the community??? Unfortunately my family cinverted to Christianity and I was born a Christian but at 15 rejected it. Now I don't know what I am

Indian origin of Zoroastrianism - The Rigveda can be divided into 4 time periods (1) Pre Rigveda (2) Early Books of Rigveda (Early Period) (3) Middle books of Rigveda (Middle Period) (4) Late books of Rigveda (Late Period) The Early, Middle, Late Books of Rigveda are composed in Vedic Sanskrit but they are not same. It is observed that for many words Each period uses different vocabulary... the rules of Sandhi are also found bit different for many words. for example take a word : Night - it is Nakta in Early books of RV, Kshapa in Middle Books of RV and Ratr in Late Books of RV. In Avesta the world Kshapa was used for Night. That means Avesta is composed after Middle Rigvedic Period or During Middle Late Vedic Period but not before that. (The word Kshapa later becomes Shaba in Persian for Night eg. Shab-e-khair, Shab-e-barat). Now who is Rishi Zarathusta/Zarathustra (Zoroaster) : The Hymns of Early books of Rigveda exalts many RISHIS and KINGS as their GREAT ANCESTORS from the DISTANT PAST, Some of them are even revered as the Progenitors the Primordial beings. In these Hymns These Ancestors are praised as Divine beings and revered as Deities and frequently invoked for guidance and blessings from them. Here we discuss about only few of them : ANGARAS BHRIGU ATHARVAN BRIHASPATI SHUKRACHARYA (USANA KAVI) JAMADAGNI ANGARAS was a BRHAMRISHI and one of the SAPTARISHI. His descendants and Pupils are called as ANGARASAS and BHARADVAJAS they are the most powerful Rishis throughout Vedic Period. Brahmrishi BRIHASPATI was the descendant of ANGARAS. Maharishi BHARADVAJA was the descendant of BRIHASPATI. In the Early Hymns of Early Mandalas (Book) of Rigveda it is explained how ANGARASAS and BHARADVAJAS were previously associated themselves with Bhagwan VARUNA. But after the heroic victory of alliance of Aryan tribes in a major war with opposing Aryan tribes who's alliance was lead by King VRITRA and his brother VALA. The Allegiance was gradually shifted from Bhagwan VARUNA to towards Bhagwan INDRA who was a young deity in comparison to Old VARUNA It was the war of survival and the victory was not that easy after facing several setbacks in several smaller battels the ANGARASAS decided to invoke Bhagwan INDRA for help for Victory, INDRA a younger deity in comparison to Bhagwan VARUNA. ANGARASAS and BHARADVAJAS gradually replaces Bhagwan VARUNA with Bhagwan INDRA as their Tutelary Deity. BHRIGU was a BRAHMRISHI and one of the SAPTARISHI, His descendants and Pupils are called as BHARGAVAS / BHRIGUS and ATHARVANS. His descendants also call themselves as Sons of VARUNA. The Primordial Maharishi ATHARVAN was descendant of BHRIGU. Maharishi ATHARVAN was the first person who Instituted the FIRE YAJNA Rituals. The Great Maharishi SHUKRACHARYA (USANA KAVI) was also the descendant of the BHRIGU. The Maharishi JAMADAGNI was descendants of Bhrigu from Maharishi Chyavana Line. His Son RAMA JAMADAGNI also famously known as PARASHURAMA was the author of RIGVEDA X.110.8 How RAMA JAMADAGNI become PARSHU RAMA and his connection with PARSU people, is another story to tell. BHRIGU and his Clan BHARGAVAS / BHRIGUS and ATHARVANS were distinct from other Rishis in their dress style, they only wear WHITE cloths. That is why they are also called as SVETAMA (Vedic Sanskrit) or SPITAMA in (Avestan). BHARGAVAS and ATHARVANS were associated themselves with Bhagwan VARUNA and revered him as their Tutelary Deity. In Many Hymns BHRIGU was mentioned as BHRIGUVARUNE. MITRA ,VARUNA, INDRA, BHAGA, VAC, RUDRA, AGNI, VISHNU, USHAS, ARYAMAN, PARJANYA, SAVITR, TVASTR, APAM NAPAT, AREDEVI SURA ANAHITA (AARADHYA DEVI SHAKTI), MARUTS are the OLDEST PRE VEDIC Deities they are mentioned from the oldest layers of Rigveda, From Early Mandalas to Late Mandalas. In the Early Books of Rigveda we can see that in some Hymns Deities MITRA, VARUNA, INDRA, VISHNU, RUDRA, ARYAMAN, AGNI, ASHWINS, USHA, APAM NAPAT, ANAHITA etc. were in some Hymns invoked as ASURA and in some Hymns invoked as DAEVA. This trend continued till Middle Books of Rigveda. But in Late Books there is hardly any reference of any Deity as ASURA. Bhagwan VARUNA was the Oldest GOD of Sanatan Dharma. He was the earliest God who has all the attributes of Supreme deity. Bhagwan VARUNA was Giver and Keeper of Cosmic Order RTA, One who Regulates, Control And Preserve the Laws of Universal Order, Laws of Natural Order, Laws of Social Order, The God of Night Sky, One who controls Rivers and Oceans, who is Guardian of all the Directions, who is cause and effect of All, God of Intellect and Consciousness and because of these attributes he was venerated as Chief of Asura's thus got another name i.e. ASURA MAHAT in Vedic Sanskrit or AHURA MAZDA in Avestan meaning the great Asura. Prior to the Bhagwan INDRA, Bhagwan VARUNA was worship as the Supreme Deity of the Sanatan Dharma. Bhagwan INDRA was the Chief of DAEVA’S, he is a Creator Preserver Sustainer and Protector God, A attributes which was in Later Smriti and Puranic Scriptures bestowed upon to Bhagwan Vishnu. Bhagwan VISHNU is the younger brother of Bhagwan INDRA. Bhagwan INDRA is revered as Supreme deity, as the most important deity of Vedas, The Supreme Power, All Mighty and Powerful, one who directs Natural and Celestial Forces, Guardian of all the Directions, One Who grants Wishes, Accommodating and Easy to Please. ASURA - are the class of Deities who Represents the INNER --> Reality, Nature, True Self, Embodiment, Personification, Expression, Essence, Manifestation, Intellect, Wisdom, Intelligence, Thoughts And Its Relation with the Outer World. Amarakosa, the Sanskrit Thesaurus called Asuras as Purva Deva (Former God). So the ancient scholars knew that the connotation changed slowly. Statistically- Asura is used in a positive sense 59 times in the Rig Veda & only 12 times in a negative sense- that too only in Late Book of Rigveda. DAEVA - are class of Deities who Represents the OUTER --> Reality, Nature, Creation, Manifestation and Its Relation with our Nature and Existence. In Ancient times People are Called ASURA and DAEVA according to their Tutelary Deity. In a Family one can be Asura or Deva depending upon his or her Chosen Tutelary Deity, Many Tribes, Clans, Families and Schools have their own Tutelary Deity according to which they were described as Asura and Deva. In Vedas There were many King's and Rishi's in the same Lineage who are Asura or Deva depending upon their chosen Tutelary Deity. After the Battle of Ten Kings, The ANGARASAS BHARADVAJAS became very powerful and as they try to assert their domination over the entire Vedic Geography and Society. The old rivalry between ATHARVAN BHRIGUS and ANGARASAS BHRADVAJAS blown into major conflict. This conflict between the two major Vedic group eventually resulted in the Fallout and Separation of Atharvan Bhrigus from Its Vedic Branch and their migration towards far west. This conflict was not mentioned or recorded in the VEDAS but clearly recorded in the AVESTA further the absence of Atharvan Bhrigus from family books of Rigveda proves the case. Zarathustra was the descendant of this separated Atharvanas Bhrigus Branch, and thus he wears white cloths. And because of this he was also known as Spitama Zarathustra and Atharvan Zarathustra. Zarathustra a.k.a Zoroaster, Founded the worlds first Monotheistic sect (later became religion) an Offshoot of Vedic Philosophy known as Mazdayasna (VARUNA = ASURA MAHAT = AHURA MAZDA worship) or Zoroastrianism. This further led to the Acrimony between Vedic Branch and its Offshoot Zoroastrianism. And this reflects in late Books of Rigveda and Post Vedic Texts and in Entire Avesta. The Demonization of DAEVA'S by Zoroastrians and Demonization of ASURA by Hindus. The Cause of Conflict between these two major Vedic Groups: 1. The rise of Indra the king of Daevas and the steep decline of Varuna the Asura and his eventual eclipse in the Vedic pantheon had lot to do with widening the rift between the Angaras and Bhrigu clans. 2. The shabby treatment meted out to Varuna the Asura Mahat, the watering down the laws of Varuna the Rta offended the Bhrigu clan greatly. Bhrigus hailde themselves as sons of Varuna. 3. Varuna in the early Rig Veda was a highly venerated god. He was hailed as the sole sovereign sky-god; the powerful Asura, the King of both men and gods, and of all that exists. He governed the laws of nature as also the ethical conduct of men. But with time, Varuna was steadily stripped of his powers one-by-one and relegated to a very minor rank. Further, one of the most fundamental aspects of Varuna the Rta, which signified the greatest good not merely ensured the physical order but also the moral order in the universe, was given a go by. 4. The Bhrigus followed the doctrine of the ancestors (pitris) or the older gods (Asura). The Supreme Asura the Father -Varuna the Asura Mahat (the mighty Asura) was highly venerated by the Bhrigus. The Bhrigu cult which adopted monotheistic approach wholly favoured the worship of the invisible Asura the Father Varuna through the medium of the formless fire Agni that lights the path of the Fathers (the fire does not have much of a form-at least not a static one). They dis-favoured icon worship. The Bhrigus strived to abide by Rta the physical and moral laws of Varuna. And, insisted on sharp distinctions between the good and evil. 5. Rivalry - That rivalry went far back into the Pre-Vedic Past. During the times of the Early Rig Veda the Angarasas were regarded the dominant priests, while the Bhrigus and Atharvanas who were synonymous with fire-priests were on the fringe. With its roots in Vedic religion, the Zoroastrian insight into the unity of the Godhead as Ahura Mazda anticipates the later development of monotheistic currents within Hinduism.

But even in the Vedas, the line between asura and devas is not water tight. One of the most revered vedic deities, Varuna is called asura in the Vedas.

I'm going through Book, Rig veda and Avesta by srikant talageri. Its actually very beautiful and funny at the same time. You can see the rivalry turned into mythology later in the wars between DEVAS and Asuras. And Zarathustra did record third battle in rig veda at the time of somaka(humayaka) in Avesta. And one of the allies of Zarathustras' people was Manuschitra son of Airyu. In Rig veda hes chitraratha son of Arna. Avesta doesnt know abt Divodasa and Suda battle. So u can imagine how old was Battle of ten kings at the time of Sudas. zarathustra was composer of oldest gathas in Avesta. and the language matches with late books of Rig veda and contemporary people in late books of rig veda are the ancestors or ppl who lived before Zarathustra. so from mitanni evidence and Rig vedic evidence Zarathustra wud be atleast as old as late books of rig veda

We are some and Blood brotherhood. For ever 🇮🇷❤ 🇮🇳

They became wealthy by helping the British East India company in the Opium trade that impoverished Indian farmers & collapsed Chinese economy. Most of them identified themselves as outsiders to be in the good books of the British and prefer to live in UK

Supreme God of Zoroastrianism i.e. Ahura Mazda is none but Lord Vishnu lol.

You are correct that Zoroastrianism has an Indian origin, Abhijitji.

I have one theory, I heard in the battle of 10 Kings Indra also helped Bharat King to Win the war, So when Parsua clan lost They somehow thought that Indra was evil And if Indra is evil Probably all of the devas are evil And if devas are evil then may be Asuras are good, I repeat that's not what I think, It's just my assumption like what they might have thought about Devas after the battle of 10 Kings. And probably that's we still have many things in common.

Thank you Abhijit sir for clearing this. This same question was stuck in my mind for a long time and I was not able find an answer.

In Zoroastrianism,there is a practice of devotion to fire just like in Hinduism,there is practice of Agni 👍

Asura are not evil in hinduism….samudra mathan lead to the narrative.

The question why did Zoroaster became first Prophet and declared a Prophecy and created concepts of eternal heaven and hell always intrigued me. This concept has caused the most destruction in past few thousand years. Why did he created this? Why did he created rebellion against Dharma/Hinduism? Why did it spread so quickly and was accepted by people? These questions are always intriguing and it's just sad how history of the world changed because of this Zoroaster. 😒

I wish Iran to be Secular Again.

Good source of knowledge for free thank you so much i am getting so much interested in studying history.

Please include an episode on demise of Tippu sultan father Haider Ali after his ransacking of Tirupathi temple… he could not cross the border also died with typhoid …this would be an answer for athiest who say our gods cannot save themselves

Iran is also India. It is Just that Iran is 1000 Years Old Pakistan hence we forget to include it into our Subcontinent

It means Zoroastrian is also an dharmic religion not an abrahamic religion

As GuruDev is linking the all historical social dots, I can draw a clear picture....

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone really knows about this type of information. This should be known and understood by the Iranians.

The judgement day, hell and heaven concepts were added by western based on xtian fairy tales. Zarathustra didn't talk about all that absurdity. He was born in North bharat close to Hindu kush His family was the first who adopted his new religion. Proto Parshiyans worshipped devas until he brings new concept. Once again, this religion is distorted by Germans and Englandish. It can be reformed if Hindu authority ever decides. Of course, Hindus can't fix their own mess, i don't think, anyone anymore cares about Parshiyan mystery. Even in modern times, mlechachas occupy the world

Beautifully explained

I am Iranian, interesting observations

Am sorry to say sir but you don't know the first thing about ancient Persians. Just to take a word 'deev' and spin narratives around it doesn't seem fair. There are more similarities between Zoroastrians and Hindus than differences. Both are sister communities and an example of one the best and most successful collaborations in history.

#AskAbhijit Sir it is said that there are still many sanskrit texts which are yet to be translated/decipered? and are there more epics like mahabharat/Ramayana? which contain great knowledge?

Traces of Zoroastrianism still can be found in Tibetan Buddhism like the Ka Puja and other various rituals

Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism are the oldest cultures in the world.

If I can add, the Asuras aren't actually evil per se in the Vedas, it is the role that they have been ascribed to from our perspectives, we being followers of the Devas. There is a duality in everything, no black and white, only grey. These people just happen to be on the side that lost the war, and as we know the winner always writes the history. Same thing is found in the Mahabharata wouldn't you say? Were the Kauravas truly wrong? Did the Pandavas not do despicable things too?

Sir it's a request to make a full dedication video on the battle of 10 kings at the vedic time.

#askabhijit, the marathas ruled all over india repaired and even built every major temple they restored hindutwa, and hindavi swarajya,but still why no one outside of maharashtra knows about them,even in maharashtra they only knows about shivaji maharaj and sambhaji maharaj, while they knows about mastani and not about pratapsurya bajirav who didnt loose a single battle and his son balaji bajirav who expanded the marathas region till atak pakistan, they are completly wiped out. not just them but the marathas of chattisghar,marathas of odisa,marathas of m.p. how did this happen ?

Assyrians of Babylonia(ultimate origin in Akkadins) were also worshipping 'Ashura' & predate Persian Zoroastrianism. It needs a thorough comparison actually since Mittani too was in the same region & maybe the shift happened post their defeat. But it should also be noted that via Egypt & Ethiopia, African languages came into West Asia & actually replaced the Indo-European branches of language present there. Something happened at that time actually, and maybe the african migrations into west asia might have happened at the start of dry phase of Sahara Savannah turning into desert due to Milankovich cycle or Earth's wobble which brought foreign gene pool due to migration & invasion as well as the language branch of which Semitic is one of the biggest one containing both Arabic & Hebrew along with other smaller ones. Now the same Afro-Asiatic branch motivated tribal religion wants to end Sanskrit in India too like they did with old Persian & other iranian & indian languages in Iraq, Levant & Anatolia & to an extent even in Iran(further destruction caused by turkification of Central Asia, Caucus, to an extent even Iran via the Safavids & Anatolia via the Ottomans)!

In these video sir you have explained so many things beautifully in a very good manner and in the end all doubts are cleared

This idea that Zoroastrianism is monotheist/revelatory is a colonial Indological fantasy - it traces to the instance in the Bible where "Daniel" secures the obeisance of the Persian King to the monotheist "God". That is typical colonial monotheist history falsification (foreshadowing / predestination / "prophecy") and divide and rule tactics. Asura is, in fact, a name for Vedic Deities in the Veda - it is not used often but important nonetheless. Plus,there is no basis for stating that there was religious conflict between Zoroastrianism and Vedics. It was just fighting between kingdoms as we usually see. It's common to see alternate heroes taken up in Hinduism. There are, for example, temples to Duryodhana and Ravana. Even entire lexicons can be interchanged: Vaishnavas refer to Lord Vishnu as Supreme while Shaivas refer to Lord Shiva as Supreme. Each has their Sahasranama, many of which overlap. Lord Shiva is shown at the feet of Kali. All these "conflicts" are usually taken in the vein of Lila. Same applied to "Zoroastrianism". Hinduism is deep enough and varied enough and ancient enough that this is to be expected and entirely normal. By default, we should always expect colonial mischief-making and projection in these situations

we understand that in old rig veda both asuras and devas were interchangeably used. Only in later rig vedic texts are asuras deemed fully evil. Can we conclude that the Zorastrian culture is one of the new rig veda times. Can any one answer this

Very Interesting. In modern Kurdish: Zard = Yellow, Wshtr = Camel.

Abhijit sir is great in explaining the History but I don't like how sometimes He tries to Correlate everything

Name similar to zarasand

Sir kya aap hindi version bhi bana sakte he mujhe English samajh nahi aati 🙏

It's not entirely correct to call their religion "Hinduism" at that early point, unless you mean "any polytheistic priestly Indian religion." "Vedic Religion" eventually became part of Hinduism, but only through exposure to Dravidian elements and the philosophical revolutions of the 7th-4th Centuries BCE. And obviously there was no monolithic political entity called India at that time.

Sir im brahman from uttar pradesh My family mention As in गोत्र system that Parshu ke mishr Its refer to parshu clan Or parshu clan have connection with bhagwan Parshuram ji

#AskAbhijit What is your view on Dr. B R Ambedkar (on his thoughts, struggle, reservation, Buddhism...).What if Dr. Ambedkar had become the first Prime Minister of India?

During times of paigambar Zarthustra a lot of dark practices were being carried out. Not the satvik practices but mainly kala jaadu. His message was to worship only one pious God (embodiment of Truth). It had nothing against Hinduism but in that time the abolishment of such cruel acts (strayed from the original sanatan way of life) was needed. We still strongly believe in karma and cycle of life. And being religious means nothing if you are not a good human being.

Sir what happened to our Gene's?? Maharana pratap 7 feet 5 inches , now the avg height of indians is only 5'4

Interestingly, as a Persian I did several DNA analyses from reputable organizations, and the results indicated that the Persian people are very distinct genetically from the any Indian groups (including Pakistanis and Kashmiris). Every plot reflected that the Iranian people generally are most closely related to the Azerbaijani, Kurdish, Armenian, Ossetian, and other groups from the Caucasus. However, the Balochi people in the south of Iran seemed to be much more closely related to Indian or Southwest Asian groups. Just generally speaking with respect to phenotypes as well, I have never been mistaken as Indian before. I have regularly been mistaken for Armenian, Lebanese, Iraqi, or Turkish many times, however. Are you absolutely sure that the Persians descend from India? None of my research seems to indicate that this would be the case. Having said that, there are some distant linguistic similarities. I came from a Zoroastrian Persian family, so I would be very interested to know!

Dr. Chavda, we love to hear from you. It is quite eye opening and enlightening at the same time. However, you should also quote sources, so that all the great knowledge you are passing on becomes more authentic. As a scientist you most certainly know of this fact. 🙏

#AskAbhijit can you shed some light whether there was any cultural similarity between the jews and the Hindus in the past.. The story of mathsya avatar of Lord vishnu and Noah's arc are very similar to each other?

Sir can you tell us a bit about the origin of bhumihars and kayasthas...thanks🙏#Askabhijit

wtf 10 kings fought and we were exiled from india 😂

Zardasht is a Kurdish prophet of the Medes-Kurdish Empire❤☀️💚

Actually asuras in rigveda are also referred for devas not daevas, for eg lord varuna is also called as asura in rigveda 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

There are certain books by Indian historians written in 1950's which gives detailed information about what happened during time of Jartrustra time and why they followed inverse roll models.

7000 साल पहले पर्शियन भारत से हार कर Persia गए थे इतिहास ने अपने आप को फिर से दोहराया वो फिर से 7000 बाद Persia छोडकर भारत आए।🕉🇮🇳🙏🏻

You should start making videos in Hindi. You can use subtitle bar for English viewers.

Even now all the Iran people I met like their ancient culture and hate Arabs for invading and destroying it. They accept only Islam but not Arab culture. They still celebrate their new year day which is from their old religious calendar and somewhat coincides with Ugadi Telugu new year in India, maybe other few Indian states new year as well. Those Iran people I know through university hardly do Ramzaan fast and are not orthodox muslims. In fact they feel free in Australia to live they like unlike in Iran now, same with my Afghan friends.

Do you mean Purus ? I tried to research a little and there was no parshva king in the 10 king battle, though there were Purus who were actually exiled towards present day Iran.

Read the Parsian names of all Parsian kings like Xerexas and Darius and Cambyses. They're all Hindu Indian names.

Thank you indeed for this information 🙏🏼I am Persian and you brought so much clarity to me 🙏🏼💫I have always been puzzled for my love and gravitation towards Hinduism. My beloved father was born in Yazd ( the center of Zoroastrianism)🙏🏼❤️

विदेशीभाषा बोलकर किसके लिए सत्योद्घटन करने को इच्छुक हो। रोमनलिपि त्यागने से और देवनागरीलिपि अपनाने से ही आर्यधर्मदेशजातिवृद्धि होगी अतः स्वदेशीयभाषा व देवनागरीलिपि अपनाओ सङ्कोच कैसा क्या ऐसा न करने के लिए किसीने मुँहहाथपाँव बाँध रक्खे हैँ।।

Karma hit back... kind of... Zoroastrians rebelled against their parent culture, and now it is said if they do not increase their numbers then, once their number falls below 24k people, they will be reduced to a “tribe” in terms of legal status (right now their legal status is “community” like all religions) Right now, their population is 40k. They stopped reproducing and marrying because they wanted to contribute in India’s population control. So that’s kind of a noble thought.

What. Is the meaning of Suras ? In Tamil Nadu there festival where lord Murugan (kartikeyan) annihilate Suran(Suras)

My Iranian friends always get pissed when people mistake them for being Indian, so I shared this video. 🤣

Also yezdis, regard peacock as holy and light diyas. Their ancestory too can be traced to India. Egypt too worshipped sun god " Ra". Sanatan Dharma in some manner or the other had far reach The Mayan of America & Aborigines of Australia too have traces of similarities with us.

Generally the "S" in Sanskrit becomes "H" in Avestan(Old Persian)..and "H" becomes "Z" in Avestan.. Hence ,"Ahura Mazda" (instead of the usual translation of the Wise Lord etc) may be translated to "Asura Mahda"..i.e the Mahadeve of the Asuras , Asuras were not the "bad guys" initially..Hence, Ahura Mazda is essentially Mahadeva/Shiva

Fun fact; Freddie Mercury's parents were Indian Parsees

#Askabhijit - mine question is that whether the Hinduism and Sikhism belongs to same community years ago or not.??? Is Sikhism is originated from Hinduism or not?? Pls make a video on that's

#AskAbhijit What's the history of surname "ROY/RAY"

What books do u recommend on this subject, i am obsessed with these recently

Can you please answer my questions Humans began to move from Africa to other contents. The first place they settle was Middle East and after they moved further east which is India and China and… If the first settlement was Middle East, and first civilization began in modern day Iran/Iraq, also first monotheistic religion began in Iran. How are the Persians the same as hindus that were kicked out of India and created a rebellion religion against Hinduism? How come is not the opposite view? The hindus were Persians and they created a relegion against Zoroastrianism.

Thank you Abhijit. Love your historical reporting!! ❤

Zarathustra claimed that deva are evil. Is "Devil" the corrupted version of what we call "Deva" or "Deviya"? And is Devine also an incorrect pronunciation of "Deviya"?

this was a necessary video! i did not know the connection between persians and indians but they seemed to show up together in the dream world.. makes sense now! they are family.. makes sense connecting anahita to saraswati

Indians and Persians were probably following the same religion once upon a time. Chapter Esther in the old testament of the Bible ( many years before Christianity was created) mentions that the old Persian capitol city of Susa had a large Hindu population and during a coup some were put to death, with their names being - Haman son of Hamedhatha, Marasimha, Vazhudhatta, Adhilya, Arasu, Harbachan and so on ! Of course these names still exist in India indicating the extent of the spread of Hindu population in that region. Thanks to the old Testament !!

so as now i am understand we are just like old times: dev vs asur where asur win to humans, then shivaji come as duth of good who destroyed them and now we are in a society where human and asur live together an like other rigvedic story we are going to revive and asur will lost note: all my perspective

#AskAbhijit where do you see India in economy and military in 2047?

I'm a Zoroastrian @abhijit can you please state the source of your reasoning/information?

Zar-Tushtra literally means in Sanskrit as Old Camel.

#askabhijit Mughal empire is never ruled whole india except few states but why indian school history books considered them as ruler of india ?

Even zangues) changes Khan Mangolian was fire worshiper.

Persians were called "Parama Kambhoja" in Ancient Hindu Text like Mahabharata. They fought on side of Kauravas and were defeated, But we are told that Persian Men were known for their Tall Stature, Bravery and Well-Built Fearues. Their King names are given in Mahabharata. Even today, Iranians call their Kings by the title - "Kambuziya".

Even if Devatas do Adharm, And Asuras do Dharma, Hindus will praise Dharma and for that Even Asuras will be supported. Name change doesn't make difference, only some communication gap will be occuring.

Sage Zarathustra was a disciple of Sage Sukracharya. Sukracharya got pissed off with Devas and Vishnu who supported them when he was not selected as Devas' Guru. He opted himself to be the guru of Asuras who are against Devas. He planned that Devas and their human supporters need to be taught a lesson. Being a shiv bhakt, he eulogised Shiva against Vishnu. Lord Shiva also uses Sukracharya indirectly to speed up the destruction at the end of every chaturyugas and manvantara. Sukracharya commissioned Zarathustra to be his representative for Asuras ,when the Non vedic people ( among Asuras and humans) were driven out of Sapta Sindhu area by Vaivasvata Manu. Bharat Varsha was split . Area west of Sindh River was called Aryayana. East of Sindhu river was called Aryavarta. Asuras ( both Danavas and Daitiyas) went and settled in Aryayana region. Zarathustra was based at Balkh ( now in Afghan) , Persia which included Afghanistan then. Zarathustra rewrote the Rig Veda in a mirrored way. Devas were depicted as evils /demons, Asuras as Good. Devendra was depicted as the main villain. To belittle Devendra, Zarathustra made Mitr- Varuna, the sea God as the presiding deity for Asuras. Instead of Sun god, moon god was celebrated. Agni was ignored as a deity. Since Devas do rituals in day time praising Sun and Agni, Asuras were asked to do rituals in night time praising Varuna and Chandra. He even wrote the mirrored Rig Veda from right to left to show a rebellish attitude to devas way of writing from left to right. The followers were asked to shave their head and moustache but grow only beards. Everything was done opposite of Devas practices. Daitiyas settled in Persia, Sumeria, Northetn Africa ( Sahara was a fertile region then) Danavas settled in East Europe, West Europe upto Atala Sagar ( Atlantic sea). Danavas created a sea like lake in Aryayana and named it after their father Kashyapa as Kashyapa Sagar , now called Caspian Sea. Danavas mother Denu / Danu is God of Rivers and Cows. Most of the european rivers have the root word of Denu / Danu . Arctic Circle was Brahma Loka, North Siberia was Jana, Tapa Lokas, Central and South Siberia was DevaLoka / Svarga ( referred as Tartaria by the Greek and Sumerian scholars) Tibet was Upa Deva Loka ( housing Yakshas, Kinnaurs, Apsaras etc) upto Himalaya s Druids, Hittians, Scythians, all were the descendants of migrants from Sapta Sindhu region. You can find lots of sanskrit root words in ancient european languages , current Lithuanian language too. South of Himalayas was Agni Loka or Manushya Loka. Here Agni puja and Havans can be done 24/7/365. Bharata kanda was spread from Maha Meru in Himalayas upto KuMeru ( southern Meru) from Saraswati Sindhu rivers to eastern sea ( Pacific) Kumeru is referred as Kumari Kandam in Tamil and the huge land mass is now lying submerged in Indian ocean. It connected Southern peninsular india to Antarctica ( it was not at south pole then) spread from South East Africa to Australia. Madagascar, Islands in indian ocean , South east asia , Australia etc are the higher ridges of the KuMeru land. Ahura Mazda and Allah are actually Sage Sukracharya . He advised a beduin nomad called Mohammad through Rakshasas what to do. Islam was born. The Persian word Sukriya is referring to Sukracharya. Muslims consider Sukravar / Friday as the holi day due to his connection. Sukracharya initially established manyvShiv Peeths across Aryayana. Later he brought all those Shiv Lings to a central place in Arabia called Makkeswaram , which is called Mecca now. Since Persian tribes damaged the main Shiv ling in Makkeswaram, he installed Chandra murti as the main deity there. Inside Kabba, the chandra murti is there. Also the broken shiv ling of Makkeswaram is kept intact using silver kavachs. Muslims circumbulate that only in Mecca. Only difference is thst they do in anti clockwise direction opposed to the clockwise direction oused by devas . Zarathustra is Zoroaster. Rebels among his disciples who wanted to continue with Agni worship were Farzis.

As per the Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex excavations, both Devas and Asuras lived there and later devas were ousted to india. In India, proper evidence for vedic time is not found.

A few ancient historians said Persians and Medes were, in fact, Scythians. This can be backed up by the fact the later Alans, themselves descendants of Scythians, called themselves As, Os, and Aesir.. all of these being different ways of saying Asura. The Alans migrated West with Germanic tribes and are likely the reason why all Germanic tribes called their gods Ass, Os or Aesir. This can be seen in many place names (like the Osburg ship burial in which one of the ladies buried insides dna came back as Iranian) all over Scandinavia and England and even names like Oswald, Osborne, etc.

The enlargement and propagation is in response and reaction is possibly due to a major climatic event. This would explain the lack of detailing and narration for this to occur.

That is right, Hindus and Persians are the same people, The Avestan and The Sanscrit Languages are the good prove! We should have already started to restore the Avestan and Sanscrit Languages and to make it Standard Common Language amoung Indo-Arian Languages Speaking Countries!!! Good Thoughts!!! Good Words!!! Good Deeds!!! The Hindu Religions our our family religions! We - Indo-Arian Languages Speaking Nations/Countries are the same people, brothers and sisters as European Union Countries. Therefore, we should start working on the UNION OF INDO-ARIAN LANGUAGES SPEAKING NATIONS/COUNTRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even the median empire before acchamanied empire followed the zoroastranism relgion

You could say it's a rellbilion. Or it could be that from that perspective God communicated to a prophet to guide the people back to the truth as the people had fallen into worshipping the demons and making them divine. And also bringing them closer to monothiesm

Wow it's very very interesting 🤔

The Zoroastrian religion is very similar to Bharat's AGNI GHOTHRIS,.

"Bro history" at its finest.

According to Bible... Iranians are Descendants of Elam. Do we know anything about who ELAM was?
