Definition
Programs that provide an opportunity for participants to study and discuss the doctrines and practices of Zoroastrianism, the religion founded by the ancient Persian prophet Zarathushtra (also known as Zoroaster and Zarthosht) which is marked by belief in a single God (Ahura Mazda) and an opposing evil spirit (Angra Mainyu), a cosmic war between good and evil, and the eventual banishment of evil from earth when good triumphs over evil. The founding date of Zoroastrianism is in dispute but it is generally agreed to be not later than 600 BC. Today, the majority of practitioners live in Mumbai (Bombay), India.
