what major law is associated with Zoroastrianism

The sacred texts and holy scriptures of Zoroastrianism are called the Avesta.

Zoroastrianism is believed to have originated in the proto-Indo-Iranian culture of southern Russia, and was to become the state religion of the Iranian people until the arrival of Islam. Even in the 9th century, Zoroastrianism still formed a substantial minority of the Iranian population. The real significance of Zoroastrianism is in the major influence it has had on other religions of the Middle East and Mediterranean area. It is arguably the oldest monotheistic religion in the world. During the Persian era, Judaism adopted many new concepts that had existed in Zoroastrianism for many centuries. These include angels, even the 7 archangels, Satan, and heaven and hell. Christian theology has even more affinity with Zoroastrianism, with Satan more closely aligned to the Zoroastrian Ahriman, and with (Catholic) guardian angels mirroring the Zoroastrian guardians.

It is called an Agiary, a temple that has a fire that was either formed one of the 16 sacred ways or taken from the big fire temple in Udvada, India (which was created by lightening) and transferred to a smaller temple. The temple in Udvada is called an Atash Behram and its fire is thousands of years old and still burning.

All over the world, but particularly in Iran.

In the early stages of the religion, the cosmic dualism that was canonized at the time of the Arsacid parthians and Sassanid Persians was absent. The main dichotomy seemed to have bene between Asha (righteousness and truth) and Drugh or Druj (lie).

The content of the Gathas however (being the oldest part of the Avesta and comprising the original work of Zarathushtra) remain unclear due to the difficulty of the Avestan language and its remote antiquity. Various translators have argued for dualistic, monotheistic and even patheistic tendencies. This ambiguity perhaps reflects the early stage of Zoroastrianism prior to its canonization in later times. Arguments in favor of all can certainly be made.

Most translators and scholars however agree that the earlier stages of Zoroastrianism seem more concerned with an ethical dualism represented by a personal inner struggle to overcome the negative aspects of the self. That still remains unclear however as various deities or "angels", assigned to oversee creation and lead the righteous to salvation and enlightenment are antagonized by their "opposite numbers" whose sources does not stem from Ahura Mazda and their origin remains unclear.

The cosmic dualism that was later assigned to Zoroastrianism from foreign travellers, observers and historians in ancient times ranging from Greeks, Armenians, Syrians and Romans, evolved sometime in late Achamenid times and possibly in the Seleucid period. Some believe that Babylonian religion had a deep impact on the development of the cosmic dualism that saw the universe as a battleground between forces of light and darkness, manifested at every level of creation down to the most primitive lifeforms.

Dualism however is present in the Gathas though not as pervasive as in the Younger Avesta. One is constantly reminded by Zarathushtra of the right path as opposed to the wrong one; of the bliss of paradise of house of song as opposed to abode of darkness; of the benevolent immortals and lords (Asuras) as opposed to the bad divinities (Daevas); of the good farmer as opposed to the bad nomad who plunders and wages war.

Whereas early Zoroastrianism saw Ahura Mazda as uncontested and the dichotomy being between Spenta Maynu and Angra Maynu, later centuries saw the evolution into a full scale battle between Ahura Mazda's creation and assistants and Angra Maynu's miscreations.

To resolve the issue of dualism, various sects later evolved and tried to resolve the issue of dualism by assigning to Zurvan-immortal time- the origin of both light and dark, good and evil. One sect, known as the Gayomardian saw evil as arising from Ahura Mazda or Yazdan (God)' s own self-doubt and thus again assigned to the same source the origin of light and dark.

During what is now known as the Persian Period in Judah, there were surprisingly many similarities and consistencies between the beliefs and practices of the Zoroastrians and those of the Jews. However, there were many differences as well.

Two major sects developed in Judaism, the Sadducees who resisted many of the beliefs common to Zoroastrianism, and the Pharisees, who were more accommodating. In fact, some say that the name 'Pharisee' is a corruption of Farsi, the original name of the Persian people.

Judaism and Zoroastrianism shared a belief in angels, but the Jewish view of Satan was that he was not evil, but a loyal assistant to God, tasked to test the righteousness of the faithful. To the Zoroastrians, he is wholly evil, much as Christians see him.

Judaism accepted the existence of heaven as a reward for the faithful, but once again the Zoroastrian view, with both heaven and hell, is much closer to modern Christianity. The Pharisees accepted that the saints will be resurrected, just as in Zoroastrianism, but the Sadducees did not.

Zoroastrians revere fire and earth. They maintain eternal flames in their temples. Because the body of the dead was corrupt, it could neither be burnt nor buried. The Jews did not accept the notion of sacred fire, but did come to view the body of the dead as corrupt. Even walking near a grave could cause one to be unclean. The practice arose of placing bodies in caves to decompose, then for the bones to be carefully placed in ossuaries, or bone-boxes, rather than be allowed to be buried.

Yes they do, the zoroastrianism religion is a sacred and old religion which once was the most popular religion in the world, today it is worshipped by 200000 people worldwide and is mainly followed in India, Pakistan, Iran and other Persian areas. The zoroastrianism belief system forms the base for many modern day religions such as Islam, Christianity and judaism.

The zoroastrianism believes that when they die 4 days they reconnect their fravashi (spirit) with their urvan(soul)

The sacred scripture of the Zoroastrians is called the Vesta.

The general term would be "Zoroastrians." In India and Pakistan they may be called Iranis and Parsis which are the names of the major Zoroastrian ethnic groups there.

An old term is Gabrs that today has a pejorative meaning used for all non Muslims but in earlier history had not any derogative connotation.

Zoroastrianism seems to be pragmatic, possibly ' khrafstars' like insects, ants were seen as deadly for hygienic reasons. Cleanliness was very important.

Maybe that's why khrafstars that were seen as turned to benificial by 'the creator of good'

---- Salvation is not important to the people who practice Zoroastrianism. Or you could just ask SWOPE ----

Zoroastrianism has had very little direct impact on the world. Since the advent of Islam, the religion has dwindled to a small community represented in Iran, India and Pakistan, with a small diaspora throughout the world.

Zoroastrianism's main inlfuence on the world is its apparent influence on Jewish, Christian and Islamic beliefs. On that view, Zoroastrianism has had a profound effect across the entire world.

As per the book "Christ More Powerful: Analogies of Christ in Non-Christian Religions"

By Stewart Snook, Zoroastrianism was influenced by Hinduism. In fact, the founder of Zoroastrainism, "zarthustra" or "zoroaster" is predicted in the book "bhavishya purana", of Hindus as well.

And the religions that Zoroastrianism has influenced was Judaism, who would later influence Christianity, islam.
