  • Sensible Solutions for Surviving Transformation in Zoroastrianism by Adhering to the Basic Precepts of the Prophet by Dr
    Sensible Solutions For Surviving Transformation in Zoroastrianism by Adhering to the Basic Precepts of the Prophet By Dr. Kersey H. Antia Summary t is an understatement to say Zoroastrianism is undergoing transformation as it seems to be at that stage, and fast accelerating to the stage of Idisintegration and even disappearance. It has changed so much in the last one hundred years as to cause alarm for its very existence in near future. What the Arab did not accomplish, modernity has, by bringing us close to self- destruction. This is not the first time Zoroastrians in diaspora have faced threats to their existence but certainly this is the last time they will face such threat unless they find a genuine solution to this crisis. And adhering to Zarathushtrianism and eternal precepts of Asho Zarathushtra rather than Zoroastrianism, which represents all that was composed and preached under the name of Zarathushtra through millennia, and may or may not be in the consonance with the prophet’s teachings. The Iranian Zoroastrians provide us an excellent example in this respect. To say that Zoroastrianism is undergoing transformation is tantamount to ignoring the deathly crisis it is facing today. Zoroastrianism is long past the process of transformation, and is facing the danger and disintegration and disappearance before long. However, the sadder truth is Zoroastrianism is in such a state of affairs because it has not realized the wisdom of transforming itself, and adjusting to the need of the changing times that have taken a toll on all religions in the world. Had we taken care of this in the past, the future will not look so gloomy and helpless today.

Bu ba ğlamda Mecusilik üç temel teolojik süreç çerçevesinde ele alınmaktadır. Bu ba ğlamda birinci teolojik süreçte Mecusili ğin kurucusu addedilen Zerdü şt’ün kendisine atfedilen Gatha metninde tanrı Ahura Mazda çerçevesinde ortaya koydu ğu tanrı tasavvuru incelenmektedir. Burada Zerdü şt’ün anahtar kavram olarak belirledi ği tanrı Ahura Mazda ve onunla ili şkilendirilen di ğer ilahi figürlerin ili şkisi esas alınmaktadır. Zerdü şt sonrası Mecusi teolojisinin şekillendi ği Avesta metinleri ikinci teolojik süreci ihtiva etmektedir. Bu dönem Zerdü şt’ten önceki İran’ın tanrı tasavvurlarının yeniden kutsal metne yani Avesta’ya dahil edilme sürecini yansıtmaktadır. Dolayısıyla Avesta edebiyatı Zerdü şt sonrası dönü şen bir teolojiyi sunmaktadır. Bu noktada ba şta Ahura Mazda kavramı olmak üzere, Zerdü şt’ün Gatha’da ortaya koydu ğu mefhumların de ğişti ği görülmektedir.

  • History of Islamic Philosophy Henry Corbin
    History of Islamic Philosophy Henry Corbin Translated by Liadain Sherrard with the assistance of Philip Sherrard KEGAN PAUL INTERNATIONAL London and New York in association with ISLAMIC PUBLICATIONS for THE INSTITUTE OF ISMAILI STUDIES London The Institute of Ismaili Studies, London The Institute of Ismaili Studies was established in 1977 with the object of promoting scholarship and learning on Islam, in the historical as well as contemporary context, and a better understanding of its relationship with other societies and faiths. The Institute's programmes encourage a perspective which is not confined to the theological and religious heritage of Islam, but seek to explore the relationship of religious ideas to broader dimensions of society and culture. They thus encourage an inter-disciplinary approach to the materials of Islamic history and thought. Particular attention is also given to issues of modernity that arise as Muslims seek to relate their heritage to the contemporary situation. Within the Islamic tradition, the Institute's programmes seek to promote research on those areas which have had relatively lesser attention devoted to them in secondary scholarship to date. These include the intellectual and literary expressions of Shi'ism in general, and Ismailism in particular. In the context of Islamic societies, the Institute's programmes are informed by the full range and diversity of cultures in which Islam is practised today, from the Middle East, Southern and Central Asia and Africa to the industrialized societies of the West, thus taking into consideration the variety of contexts which shape the ideals, beliefs and practices of the faith. The publications facilitated by the Institute will fall into several distinct categories: 1 Occasional papers or essays addressing broad themes of the relationship between religion and society in the historical as well as modern context, with special reference to Islam, but encompassing, where appropriate, other faiths and cultures.

  • To Religion in General
    1 www.onlineeducation.bharatsevaksamaj.net www.bssskillmission.in Topic Objective: After reading this topic, student would be able to: Be familiar with the major opinions given for why religions exist. Understand science's relationship with religion through the centuries. Understand the major elements of religions including worship, symbol, and myth. Know the meaning of important terms such as religion, profane, sacred, transcendent, mysticism, theistic, nontheistic, monotheistic, polytheistic, monistic, incarnation, myth, cosmogony, eschatology, charisma, orthodox, fundamentalist, and liberal. Definition/Overview: Religion: Religion is a set of beliefs and practices, often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious law. Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and religious experience. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction. This topic is an introductionWWW.BSSVE.IN to religion in general. The topic includes a discussion on why religions exist and why people turn to religions; ways humans encounter and understand the divine or "ultimate reality"; characteristics of religions; the encounter between science and religion; women and the feminine in religions; and the negative aspects of organized religions. In the frame of European religious thought, religions present a common quality, the "hallmark of patriarchal religious thought": the division of the world in two comprehensive domains, one sacred, the other profane. Religion is often described as a communal system for the coherence of belief focusing on a system of thought, unseen being, person, or object, that is considered to be supernatural, sacred, divine, or of the highest truth.

  • Zoroastrian Communism*
    chapter 2 447 Zoroastrian Communism* According to Xanthus of Lydia, who wrote in the fifth century b.c., the Magi considered it right to have intercourse with their mothers, daughters, and sisters and also to hold women in common.1 The first half of this claim is perfectly correct: Xanthus is here referring to the Zoroastrian institution of close-kin marriage (khwēdōdāh), the existence of which is not (or no longer) in doubt.2 But his belief that the Magi held women in common undoubtedly rests on a misunderstanding, possibly of easy divorce laws and more probably of the institution of wife lending.3 In the fifth century a.d., however, we once more hear of Persians who deemed it right to have women in common; and this time the claim is less easy to brush aside. The Persians in question were heretics, not orthodox Zoroastrians or their priests; their heresy was to the effect that both land and women should be held in common, not just women (though the first attempt to implement it did apparently concern itself with women alone); and the heretics are described, not just by Greeks, let alone a single observer, but also by Syriac authors and the Persians themselves as preserved in Zoroastrian sources and the Islamic tradition. What then are we to make of the claim the second time round?4 * This essay was originally presented as a paper at the conference on pre-modern communism held by John Hall and myself at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, in 1992. I should like to thank Gonville and Caius College for academic hospitality and the participants, especially John Hall, for discussions in the light of which the paper has been revised, if not necessarily to their satisfaction.
