	Yazata
		In Zoroastrianism the Yazatas are the deities to whom the hymns in the Zend-Avesta are addressed.
		They are also the guardians of the celestial bodies and the messengers of Ahura Mazda.
		The chief Yazata is Mithra and some of the others include Daena, Mah, Rashnu, Tistrya, and Zam.

		AIRYAMAN, an ancient Iranian divinity and a yazata of the Zoroastrian pantheon, known in Manichean Middle Persian as Aryaman, in Pahlavi as EÚrma@n.
		The Avestan common noun airyaman-, Vedic aryaman-, means “friend, companion;” and the Indo-Iranian Aryaman was, it seems, the hypostasis of friendship, and of friendly alliance; and this being ratified at times by a formal oath, he was close to the asuras Mitra and Varuna, who upheld oath and covenant.
		It was natural that as yazata of healing Airyaman should enjoy great popularity; and when in the 3rd century A.D. Manichean missionaries to Persia deliberately associated Mani's gods with Zoroastrian yazatas for proselytizing purposes, they identified the divine Jesus, a central figure in Mani's gospel, with Airyaman, calling him YiÞo@ Arya@ma@n.

		* Among the epithets of Meher yazata there occurs "of a thousand ears and ten thousand eyes"; its significance is that his power of hearing is as sharp as or is equal to a thousand ears and his power of vision is as powerful as of ten thousand eyes.

		She (yes, Dravaaspa is a female Yazata!) helps Geush Urva purify the anasers of such men and women and also ensures that they do not stumble or fall in their walk to God.
		After the introductory paragraph describing the Yazata s many qualities, a particular hero of ancient Iran or any other divine personage is described as having worshipped the Yazata at a specific place, offering animal sacrifices and asking for precise boons.
		Thus when they asked for boons from the yazatas, they would go to that particular city whose chakhra correlated with that chakhra of their own body that was the most highly developed.

	Zoroastrianism and the dog
		This "dog" therefore, is not just a dog in animal form, but its name "Pashush-harun" indicates that it is a mystic reference to "pasu" (life-atoms, seeds of consciousness); and "harun" or "haurva" indicates perfection and union with the Divine.
		Another point to note is that Sarosh Yazata is also the Chieftain who is charge of heaven.
		This, the dog is able to accomplish because of the fact that its eyes give out certain magnetic currents (we all discharge magnetic currents through eyes, finger tips, head), that are so powerful, they destroy the harmful microbes from the surrounding area.

		In the Latter or Younger Avesta, also called New Avesta, he returns as a Yazata, after Zarathushtra kicked him and all other gods out.
		Yazata (Something like an angel), in truth, he is called god and indeed a high god, like unto Mazda in the Latter Avesta.
		It is more like what Mithraism borrowed from Zoroastrianism, but from what I can tell it had nothing to do with the original teachings.
