Ahura Mazda

At its core, Zoroastrianism emphasizes a never-ending battle between good and evil — a contest between the religion’s God, Ahura Mazda, and an evil spirit, Ahriman.

According to the Zoroastrian tradition, Ahura Mazda is the supreme lord and creator; he represents all that is good.

Let us then listen to Zeus, to Jupiter, to Varuna, and to Ahura Mazda each in his turn.

In the Rigveda the name Ahura Mazda, in the form Asura Medha, is used for more than one god of light.

He preached, like Moses, war and destruction to all idolaters and wicked men, and said that he was commissioned by God to spread the religion of Ahura Mazda.
