Zoroastrianism

00:00:01 --> 00:00:02

or parisism

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

is not a major region of the world.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

It has very few followers, hardly

00:00:06 --> 00:00:09

130,000 followers, and most of them are in

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

India, mainly in the city where I come

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

from, that is Bombay.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

But it is one of the oldest religion.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

Prophet Zoroaster

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

is the founder of the religion of Zoroastrianism

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

and he founded 2 and a half 1000

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

years before in the land of Persia.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

And the secret scripture

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

of Zorashnism

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

or Parsiism

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

is the

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

and Avesta.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:34

In Zoroastrianism,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

almighty God is called as,

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

means God,

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

is wise, wise God or wise Lord.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

And as I mentioned, the sacred scriptures are,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

There are various

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

descriptions given about our almighty

00:00:52 --> 00:00:52

God

00:00:53 --> 00:00:53

and

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

He's called as the one and only.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

It mentions they're nothing like him. Nothing resembles

00:01:01 --> 00:01:01

him.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

Number 3, he has no beginning,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

he has no end. He's immortal.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

Number 4,

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

he has no parents.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

He has no mother, no father, no wife,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

no son.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

He is imageless.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

He is beyond comprehension.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

You cannot imagine about him.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

Your eyes cannot see him.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

He is closer to you than your own

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

self.
