	Ahura Mazda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ahura Mazda is the Avestan language name for an exalted divinity of ancient proto-Indo-Iranian religion that was subsequently declared by Zarathustra (Zoroaster) to be the one uncreated creator of all (God).
		Ahura Mazda was also known as Aramazd in Armenia and Parthian Persia, and Ohrmazd or Hormizd in middle Persian.
		One view (Kuiper) is that the proto-Indo-Iranian divinity is the nameless "Father Ahura", that is, Varuna of the Rigveda.

	Ahura Mazdah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		His rule brought "need and misery, hunger and thirst, old age and death, mourning and lamentation, excessive heat and cold, and the intermingling of demons and men." Atar overcame the dragon, who was either consigned "to the bottom of the deep ocean" or chained on a high mountain.
		The divine fire, the spark indwelling in humankind, was the symbol of Ahura Mazdah, and in fire-temples the flame burns perpetually indicating his presence.
		Ahura Mazdah is thought to be a god of prophetic revelation, the sole deity revealing himself to a traditionally polytheistic society not yet ready to receive the totality of his message.

	Zoroastrian History
		The first word Ahura(s) (Asuras in the Vedas of Hinduism) was already used by the pre-Zoroastrians for their God(s) and Zarathushtra introduced the concept of God as the creator who infused life into the physical world.
		Ahura has been associated with ah meaning being or existence and angh meaning life, and this is probably why Ahura, the life giving force, has been translated as Lord of Life.
		By using the term Ahura Mazda, a compound of a male and female name, Zarathushtra wished to convey both the equality of the males and females before the Creator and, also, the fact that the deity was beyond one particular sexual designation.

	Zoroaster Zarathustra - Crystalinks
		In the later Avesta, Zarathushtra is used as a character in dialogue with Ahura Mazda; he is featured in ritual texts and in law- texts, and great amounts of ritual and doctrine are thus attributed to him, whether he was their originator or not.
		Confident in the truth revealed to him by Ahura Mazda, Zoroaster apparently did not try to overthrow belief in the older Iranian religion, which was polytheistic; he did, however, place Ahura Mazda at the center of a kingdom of justice that promised immortality and bliss.
		After judgment is passed by Ahura Mazda, the good enter the kingdom of everlasting joy and light, and the bad are consigned to the regions of horror and darkness.

	Faravahar or Farohar - Crystalinks
		The ring which is held in the Achaemenid Faravahar's hand is still used in Sassanian art to depict the royal diadem, which is handed to the new King by the symbolic representation of Ahura Mazda himself or by the yazata (guardian spirit) of Waters, Anahita.
		The general scholarly opinion, at least in the West, was that the winged disc represented Ahura Mazda.
		Through the influence of the Unvala articles, and a renewed awareness among Zoroastrians of their Iranian heritage, the Persepolis winged disc began to be used as a symbol for Zoroastrianism - not only because of its supposed religious significance, but because of its national symbolism as the device of a great Zoroastrian empire.

		The evolution of the Avestan Ahura is apparently relatable to this locus of Northwest India, between the Rivers Sarasvati_ and Parus.n.i_.
		It is, therefore, reasonable to surmise that as the Avestan tradition moved into the hinterland of Iran, the memories of life together were retained and a tributary of Helmand was called Haraqvaiti, in memory of the River Sarasvati_ of Northwest India.
		In the Indian Vedic tradition, particularly during the period of the Bra_hman.as, rites related to the processing of Soma were dominant; in the Avestan tradition, belief was the dominant theme and Haoma was only a ritual accompanying the adoration of Ahura Mazda, the Lord Wisdom..

	Fire, the Son of Ahura Mazda: Mrs. Pervin J. Mistry
		If Ahura Mazda Himself is one of the seven Amashaspands, to say that Asha Vahishta is not a Divinity, is to deny Ahura Mazda His Divine status.
		Yasna 33.4: "at Toi Atrem Mazda...", refers to Ahura Mazda's Own Spiritual Fire which grants courage and clear guidance in life to the earnest believers, and brings destruction to the deceivers of truth and to the unbelievers who are overcome by the power of Asha's flames.
		As stated, Ahura Mazda Himself is called "Yazad"; He is not separated from the Amashaspands and is often referred to as Sevenfold; the seven Amashaspands are all jointly referred to as Ahura Mazda's Own Self - as "Us, the Amashaspands" (ahmakem yasnaicha vahmaicha yat ameshanam spentanam).
