The Life of Zoroaster: The exact date of Zoroaster's birth remains unknown, but he is believed to have lived around the 6th century BCE. Key details about his life can be found in the sacred texts that make up the Avesta.
The Avesta is the primary sacred text of Zoroastrianism, containing texts attributed to Zoroaster. It consists of two parts - the Yasna (understanding) and the Vendidad (opposition to evil).
One of the central ideas of Zoroastrianism is the belief in Ahura Mazda as the supreme god, the creator of goodness and the world. According to Zoroaster's teachings, the world is a place of eternal struggle between good and evil.
Zoroastrianism teaches that every individual is free to choose between good and evil, and their actions determine their destiny. Any act of evil or goodness affects the balance in the world.
Fire is considered sacred in Zoroastrianism, symbolizing purity and divine light. In Zoroastrian temples, fire is an object of worship.
Zoroastrianism has influenced the development of other world religions, notably Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Some religious concepts, such as the struggle between good and evil, have been borrowed or adapted from Zoroastrianism. The reverence for fire as a symbol of purity and the divine has left a lasting impact on the spiritual and ritualistic practices of these religions.
