Study the place of science and knowledge in Zoroastrian religious texts
It is rare to find a religion that has instructed its followers to acquire knowledge and wisdom as much as Zoroastrian religion.. In this article, we intend to examine the place of science and knowledge in Zoroastrian religion.
In the poems of Hazrat Zoroaster - Gathas - knowledge, wisdom and thought, this is how it is praised and ordered. :
{ O Mazda, the one who [For others] It calls for light, light [Him] It will be cheap. Give us the knowledge that comes from your good character, from your most precious soul and in the light of your ashes, so that we will live a long life.
May we enjoy happiness every day. }
[Gatha _ Hat 43 _ Close 2]
{ O Mazda, I recognized you as pure; When "good character" came to me and taught me that "thinking in peace" is the best way to acquire knowledge. [And warned that] The leader should never be a source of pleasure for the followers.
What, they are always enmity with the Ashwans. }
[Gatha _ Hat 43 _ Close 15]
{ [let it be] Mazda Ahura with his minnow Shahriari, us [the force] work in the light of "good character" (= Good thought) and "Ashe" and try to improve the people with good knowledge. }
[Gatha _ Hat 45 _ Close 9]
{ O Mazda, the one who thinks good or bad, without a doubt, his religion, words and actions [will do so] And his request will follow his free choice. You are the master of wisdom [Good and bad from each other]
will separate. }
[Gatha _ Hat 48 _ Close 4]
{ Indeed, he (= earth) Our good shelter is stability and strength [two terrors] He bestows his good character upon us. }
[Gatha _ Hat 48 _Close 6]
{ O Mazda, indeed, I - Zarathustra - the loving prophet of "Ashe", [you] I pray loudly : [let it be] The creator, in the light of his good nature, frees me from the commandments[own] They know until my tongue is smooth [the people]
by the way of wisdom [be guided] }
[Gathas 50 _ Close 6]
In Zoroastrian religion, the goddess of knowledge : His name is "Chista" and he has such honor and value that in the book of Avesta, a song is dedicated to his praise called "Din Yasht"..
There are many documents that show the value of knowledge in the religion of Zoroastrianism, and in this essay we present some of them..
{ Apparently, the influence of Iranian beliefs on the Greek thoughts of the years 550 until the 480 BC caused the Greeks to be freed from the limitations of direct justification about man and to the infinity beyond the sky.
Think about the visible and infrastructure of the earth, the life that was not limited only to the grave and the urn. Now the time had come for him to talk about the good and bad people after death
They travel separately, that the good soul ascends to the heavenly bodies of light, that God is intelligence, and that the material world is composed of a few composite parts, and finally
Be aware that the universe exists beyond time, perception and perception. All these ideas were the reasons for the survival of the ancient philosophy and apparently all of them were the teachings of the Mughans..
Many themes of Greek philosophers have been narrated that Zoroaster was the teacher of Pysagores and taught him the sciences of alchemy and magic..
"Valerius Maximus" says about this in the first century AD : Pysagores went to the Iranians and surrendered himself to the teachings of Maghan. He learned about the planets and stars and about the force and nature
Gharib is his benefit. Pliny (Father) also stated in the first century AD : Pysagores, Empedocles, Democritus, Plato and Aristotle went to Nez Maghan to learn magic techniques..
Pliny narrates that Democritus instilled the sweetness of magic in the mind.
"Cicero" also says about this : Why does Pysagore travel to Egypt and meet the Iranian Mughans there? (Pysagores had apparently met Iranian Mughans in Mesopotamia in Chaldea.).
"Apuleus Madourensis" says with a little hesitation in his statements in the second century AD : There are those who say that Pysagores was trained in the Moghan school, especially Zoroastrian.
One of the followers of "Prodicus" Sophist, one of the contemporaries of Socrates, reported that he boasted of having Zoroastrian texts; In addition, the magician named "Gubrais" claimed to have taught Socrates. }
[Moghan in ancient history - Haideh Meiri - a compact of procedures 113 until the 115]
{ Eastern histories say that Zoroaster is wise :
The science of astronomy, good knowledge and spells and creations, built underground [Morteza Ibn Da'i / I saw the common people] // He studied strange sciences and they say that he practiced astronomy [sings / tamed al-Safa] //
He knew astronomy well. He learned tricks and spells [conclusive proof] // There was a time when the riders on Joshan and Khaftan were borrowed hands (artificial) You did and this type, Zarathustra had said to
Gstasp era [Mubarakshah / Courageous war etiquette] // Knowing the properties of spices [Translation of Nations and Nahl] // In the book of Zoroaster, various knowledge such as mathematics, astronomical and medical rules, and other than these, from the news
It is the past centuries and the books of the prophets. It was the first time [At the time of Zoroaster] For the kings, the time to start any work was determined by astrology. Zoroaster also with astrology
He had a lot of knowledge and in this regard, he was considered an outstanding scientist. [Ibn Athir].//
"Qadi Saeed Andalusi" in "Taqabat al-Umm" from 3 Astrology office in ancient Iran mentioned :
1. The book of pictures of degrees of stars (Attributed to Zarathustra).
2. Kitab al-Tafseer.
3. Jamasp book. }

religion and science !؟
Marriage with incest ! Not burying the dead ! Killing animals as an atonement … All in Zarathustra
Zoroastrian religion was worse than other religions!
Importance of knowledge? Which knowledge? An invasion of the territories? Why should we read the same history of Achaemenians in Greek writings?
It is interesting, Ali Agha!!!!!!!!
1-Are you talking about the invasion of lands in Zoroastrian religion?
Let an interesting story from the book “unconsciousness” Written by “Dr. Xavier Kerment” Let me tell you that even if we take the assumption that the story is not true, the interesting thing is why the author of the book considered a religious idiot to be in need of God's forgiveness along with people like you.:
” The story was related to a priest who always warned people and whenever he talked about the sin of adultery, he would go crazy to show his anger towards the perpetrators of this sin. Married women have relations and even with virgin girls.
It is interesting that in explaining the reason for this action, the priest refers to the words of Jesus “Love your neighbor” or because Ren's husband was cold-tempered, he wanted to show her the warmth of love, or he wanted to make that woman feel lonely; in a word, he really felt that he was serving humanity, but he finally accepted that He has committed the worst crimes and is only fooling himself.
Finally, he moves to a country in the Middle East and becomes a chef:” If God can forgive the likes of these faithful bombers and me, then he is the most powerful in the world!!!!!!! ” ”
Mr. Hamed Banda, I say as a Muslim, did Islam spread with the sword or with the distribution of shares of justice? I suggest you not to read the book Two Centuries of Silence or similar books, just the book is enough. “The life of Imam Hussain” written by a Sunni historian(Zain al-Abidin Rahmana)Read Haste(Your answer is not important to me, the answer of educated people is important to me because the future of humanity is in their hands.).
Of course, you may say in justification that these attacks have guaranteed your paradise, but I am saying right here that I have nothing more to say to you..
2-You are wrong to marry a prostitute in Zoroastrianism
Assuming that there is such a thing, then allow me to say that Martyr Motahari himself said that such a thing is not a proof of being a bastard, because the criterion of being a bastard is an act contrary to religious belief, just as Hazrat Yaqub married two sisters who were both alive. They did, which is completely against Islam, but it was allowed at that time, so are you ready to say that the children of Hazrat Yaqub were bastards?
3-You have said about the lack of knowledge in Zoroaster
This speech was so ignorant and dry and empty due to prejudice that it does not need to be answered, and I also know the value of my time so much that I will not waste it for those of you who have promised yourself that you will never understand, you need history to destroy such a truth Destroy other nations as well, for now you and your trains are facing extinction.
This Ali Agha speaks like he has not read the Quran! :))
It seems you have no logic!! Dear friend, incest marriage is wrong. By the way, they buried the dead, but the body should not touch the soil. They killed harmful and harmful animals that were demonic. As if the Muslims did not march???!!! Research more about knowledge in ancient Iran
What script were the books of Sasanian and Avesta times written in? How do you talk about your book when it is still not a writing tool before Islam?
Hi.
Sasanian writing language ((Pahlavi Sassanid)) and the Parthians (( Parthian side )) There are little differences between these two types of side dishes . The Avesta is also written in the Avesta script, which is a type of the same Pahlavi script, the language and script of the Achaemenians, if you want. (Ancient Persian)And (Elamite) And (Akkadian-Neo Babylonian) have been. Aramaic line in some places. All three ancient Elamite and Babylonian Persian scripts are cuneiform, the simplest of which is ancient Persian, but the Pahlavi script is no longer cuneiform and has letters, even some of the Pahlavi letters are very close to their modern Persian equivalents..
But the writing of Avesta in the following two texts clearly mentions what Avesta is and how it is composed:
Tensor Hirbadan Hirbdz during the time of Ardashir, the founder of the Sassanid Empire, wrote a letter to Jasnafs, the King of Tabaristan.: (( Do you know that Alexander burned the book of our religion with twelve thousand cow skins?))
This phrase is also reflected in the letter: (( The life of Avesta, which was written on cow skins in gold script, was in the Popkan pool in the home office. Ahriman Petiare, the evil Alexander, made him burn it))
See: Sammy. علی( 1389) The capitals of the Achaemenid emperors, printed by Pazineh, pages 361 and 362
In this context, it is interesting to know that the word notebook is derived from the Greek word diphtheria, which in Greek was used to refer to the skin of animals..
Also, Professor George Cameron expressed the possibility that the inscriptions on the ramparts of Persepolis, which number 30000 Number per year 1312 It was discovered that they had a translation on the skin in Aramaic language.
Of course, papyrus had been used in Egypt for a long time, which was a type of paper even before the Achaemenid period.
I hope you have received your answer. Thank You
