Chapter 4
THE PROPHET COMETH
With severe clashes between the two warring camps of the Mazda-worshippers and the
Daeva-worshippers continuing for a long time, it seemed to be a never-ending affair. Their respective
strengths waxed and waned according to the passage of time.
But finally a time came when the Daevayasnis, whose materialistic ideas and culture had
made inroads into the purity and spirituality of the Mazdayasnis, began to gain an upper hand. The
mighty, spiritually advanced Mazdayasni kings and paladins could barely contain them.
It was then that, according to Gatha Ahunavaiti (Yasna 29.1) "Geush Urva gerezda…" - the
Soul of the Evanascent World roared that….” It wanted a powerful Saviour from Mazda !
Thus at the appropriate time Holy Prophet Zarathustra is sent to the earth to fulfill certain
missions, which is pertinent for our purpose.
That mission was to put on the right track of Zoroastrianism all those Paoiryo-tkaesh
people of Iran and its environs; he was their true guide. He expounded the entire Law of Nature to
them, pointed out the straight path, which helped to accelerate the attainment of the goal of highest
spiritual progress.
Again, those Mazdayasnis who had slipped into Daevayasni, and had become dregvant, did
not believe the Prophet. So Zarathushtra warned them that as a Ratu (chief) of the Lord, he would
drill sense into them. (A dregvant is one who belongs to the Dark Side of Nature, who can take the
human form, stalk the earth and entice and mislead the Mazdayasnis).
Prophet Zarathushtra was the first-ever Messenger of God to reveal His message. There was
no prophet nor any form of established, organised religion in the world, as we know it today, like
Christianity, Judaism, Islam etc. It is, therefore, sheer stupidity and a betrayal of our gross ignorance
to even think that, Zoroaster converted the people of "primitive faith" to his own faith. THERE WAS
NO OTHER FAITH TO CONVERT FROM.
The adoption of the Zoroastrian Religion by King Vishtaspa and other Paoiryo-tkaesha souls
of the time was never "conversion" or "change from one religion to another", as understood at
present! It was only the weeding out of evil and wickedness that had gripped many of the
Mazdayasnis. Zarathushtra's religion was a superstructure built on the foundation of the Mazdayasni
Deen.
