Zoroastrianism

The five daily prayers in Zoroastrianism are known as the "Gahambars," and they are performed at specific times throughout the day. They include the "Havan Gah" (morning), "Rapithwin Gah" (midday), "Uzhans Gah" (afternoon), "Aiwisruthrem Gah" (evening), and "Zarathushtra Gah" (night). These prayers are an integral part of a Zoroastrian's spiritual practice, emphasizing the importance of maintaining constant communication with Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity. Each prayer is associated with specific rituals and invocations aimed at promoting purity and righteousness.

Zoroastrianism's original language is Avestan, an ancient Iranian language. The sacred texts of the religion, known as the Avesta, were composed in Avestan and contain hymns, rituals, and religious laws. Avestan is closely related to Old Persian, the language of the Achaemenid Empire, but it has distinct features that set it apart. The use of Avestan reflects the early Zoroastrian community's cultural and linguistic context in ancient Persia.

In the context of the "Debastan," it is suggested that there are 13 Zoroasters or Zarathustras, which may refer to various interpretations or manifestations of the prophet throughout history. This concept highlights the idea of multiple incarnations or teachings attributed to Zoroaster, emphasizing the enduring influence of his philosophy. However, in traditional Zoroastrian belief, there is generally considered to be one main Zoroaster who founded the religion.

While it cannot be proved or disproved that Cyrus the Great adhered to the teachings of Zoroaster, from the time of Darius I the inscriptions of the monarchs repeatedly refer to Ahura Madza, the principal deity of Zoroastrianism. Darius I referred to Ahura Mazda as the creator of heaven, earth and man and he looked to this god as the one who had bestowed upon him wisdom, physical skillfulness and the kingdom.

One key practice is the "Padyab," a ritual washing of the hands and face, often performed before prayers or entering a sacred space.
