Zarathushtra

by Bachi Karkaria

'Good thoughts, good words and good deeds' was the simple message delivered by Zarathushtra, the prophet of ancient Persia. Strangely, no cry came from him when he was born over 8,000 years ago. Instead, the baby Zarathushtra smiled, and it was predicted - correctly - that he would preach love and justice to the world, but would have a hard time convincing vengeful rivals. Strong in their faith, his followers are known today as Zoroastrians; also known as Paris in India.

What fascinated me about this book on Zarathustra was when he was hurled into the fire and the fire transformed into a flower bed. When Zarathustra was born unlike many births he came into the world with a bright smile for which he was named Zarathustra by his mother.

I hadn't read much about Zoroaster till now. I understand that the time period in which he lived is not certain.

The story was the standard story you get for religious figures. I didn't like how his followers were told that his god was he only god and to follow only his teachings.

Overall, it was a decent story.

A good intro to the founder of Zoroastrianism

A concise read about Zarathustra and how the religion of Zoroastrianism. One reason why i gave it 4 star and not 5 is that it claims Zarathustra lived 8000 years back (6000 B.C) which is highly contestable.
