Journey through the royal courts of the Achaemenid Empire, where kings upheld the sacred fire as a symbol of divine order. Witness the grandeur of the Sassanian era, when Zoroastrianism became the state religion, only to face devastation with the arrival of foreign conquerors. Travel with the Parsi diaspora, who carried the last surviving verses to distant shores, ensuring that the sacred flame of their faith never died.
This book explores the Avesta's profound teachings-its call for truth (Asha), its vision of the eternal struggle between Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu, and its prophecy of the Frashokereti, the world's final renewal. It reveals the Avesta's influence on Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and even Hinduism, showing how its ideas crossed borders and shaped civilizations.
Blending historical research, religious insight, and vivid storytelling, Guardians of the Sacred Flame illuminates the devotion of the Magi, the hidden meaning of ancient rituals, and the symbolic power of the sacred fire. It also addresses the challenges faced by modern Zoroastrians as they strive to keep their traditions alive in a rapidly changing world.
For readers fascinated by ancient history, lost civilizations, and the enduring power of sacred knowledge, this is more than a book-it is a journey into the soul of one of humanity's oldest faiths. The pages of the Avesta may be incomplete, but its message burns as brightly as ever, a timeless reminder that the fight for truth and justice is eternal.
