Understanding the Gathas: The Hymns of Zarathushtra

by Dr. Dinshaw J. Irani

The type of religion preached by Zarathushtra is what may be called reflective religion. It is a fusion of a View of the World and a Way of Life offered to the prospective believer to be adopted upon due reflection as worthy of acceptance. Believers are those who choose to encounter the world as the religious view declares it to be, and importantly, commit themselves to the Way of Life presented therein. The chapters of this book were originally delivered as lectures to audiences of Zoroastrians who had little familiarity with the Gathas (the hymns of Zarathushtra) by, Dinshaw J. Irani, between 1935 and 1937. Some it is believed, were delivered in Europe, but most were short talks to young Zoroastrian high-school students in Bombay. They were meant to introduce the audience to some of the topics and salient ideas in the Gathas.
