Just recently they had an episode on ancient aliens about the ancient Zohar text. This was a great podcast because it just ties in on a more of “in-depth” of what that episode was trying to say. Amazing knowledge, keep it up! ✨👁✨
Thank You So Much Ranveer Allahbadia Sir & Team To Podcast with Dr. Ramiyar Sir Please Make More Podcast With Him We Proud Of Our Zoroastrians Parsies 🙏🙏❤️❤️💎💎💯💯🕉️🕉️🚩🚩🇮🇳🇮🇳
Ranveer plz bring shrikant talageri in your show...He is too under rated..He has spent his whole life on establishing authentic links of Zoroastrians and vedic aryans
It is a tragedy for human race that Zoroastrianism got eliminated from Persia (Iran).....Proud that this superbly 😊 admirable community got refuge in our Mother India....Sanatan Dharma & Zoroastrianism look like twins to me....AUM Shanti!
It is not because of mus lims or Arabs that Persians fell, it is because of their own tyranny and they are replaced by Arab mus lims, Sasanians were superpower of the world when our Prophet Muhammad got Prophethood and Persians were about to annex Byzantine Empire and did big damage to them, but somehow Roman Byzantine king Hercules managed to invade persepolis because all Persian soldiers were in Asia minor to enter Europe, and this is how sasanids got defeated by Romans and Persians agreed to pay for reparations... Both empires had one thing in common which is ty ranny, which was against everyone including its own people, people were fed up because of such restrictions and dic tatorship... Also it was written in the books of Zoroastrians that A Prophet would come and they have to follow him, this is the reason why most Zoroastrians accepted is lam after Arab conquest, Prophet Muhammad sent letter to invite Khusrow II to is lam but he tore the letter, he was later kil led by his own son who overthrown his government and started more ty ranny and even challenged mus lims... Then we mus lims invaded Persia and companions of Prophet conquered Persia .. one of the companion who was a commander was Salman the Persian, he told Persians that oh the people of Persia, I am among your community, these Arabs had racial supremacy and never wanted anyone else, now accepted me as a commander, if this is not a prove that we are not fighting for our own materialistic benefits but for one true God then what else is it?... They already believed in Prophet Zoroaster so they accepted new prophet i.e Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and all other prophets before him both is raelites and non is raelite prophets, small numbers of them refused to convert but still lived there Now coming to the persecution part, it never happened during the time of First four caliphs, not even after it was conquered otherwise nobody would have accepted is lam, it likely to happened after death of 5th Caliph and 6th Caliph was Yazid the cruel under whose rule Grandson of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) hazrat Imam Hussain (ra) got martyrdom, do you know about Karbala? many companions of prophet got martyrdom under the reign of those ty rants such Yazid, and also Governor Hajjaj bin Yusuf, Parsis are likely persecuted during this period and even after that some cruels came, Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz came and stopped all blunders made by previous tyrant caliphs came after yazid, during his rule nobody was left to take charity but he himself had financial problem, this is called true leader... So bottom-line is, those who can ki ll grandson of prophets can't persecute Zoroastrians? Zoroastrians are nothing in front of imam hussain... As for Irani migration during colonial period so that was Qajar era, they used to perse cute iranis, that was a time when Sunni had no rule, A dynasty called Safavid conquered Iran from Sunnis and forced converted them into shia, so those who can force convert Sunnis and turn it into shia nation would spare Zoroastrians and let them to live freely? Even Sunnis can't live in peace in Iran
Being a zorastrian priest he knows, Mahabharata verses by heart...that's called worldly knowledge. That's y parsis are the sweetest and the most knowledgeable people in the world.
No, they are not that smart, they couldn’t even preserve their own religion and culture in their “holy land”. The Avesta text is several hundred years later than the Rig Veda. Moreover, they have not got a vast corpus like Sanskrit prior to Panini. The Priest is using stories in the Avestan as historical evidence. I can’t see how Academics can take him seriously. If he thinks so called monotheism comes from his religion, then he is obligated to demonstrate the conceptual developments. One can clearly trace the Monistic conception from the Rig Veda to the Upanishads. I am not sure his religion possess such conceptual developments. Most Iranians don’t possess a rigorous understanding of their culture and literature.
@@Mr_ST_720 as a Iranian idk what exact „persian religious culture“ or „persian land“ you mean, but i will understand that as „Iranian religious culture“ and „Iranian land“, Thanks much love to you
@@abhinavsharma1104 persian is only 1 part of all Iranians, and Zoroastrian is a religion has nothing directly todo with persian, in the sense you use. just stop it. All Persians are Iranian, but all Iranians arent Persian. stop missusing terms thanks!
I agree with you, not a lot of them know about Parsi religion and the Teachings that have bought so much good to the Mankind. Sir Ratan Tata is a living eample and I replied about it on my original comment aswell. We have requested Ranveer to bring Dr. Ramiyar Sir to the Podcast Multiple times and make series of him aswell.
Hey, I have Parsi friends. I never spoke to them about religion because I didn't know about Hinduism 😁. What I observed is they are like us means they don't believe in expansion and forcing their religion on others. Self-enlightenment and sociable are wills.
If you search for Zoroastrian prayers and chants, this guy is all over the internet. Was kind of shocked he was invited for the podcast. Great going Ranveer ❤
I am a Zoroastrian too and listening to him was just amazing - cant thank you enough - please please have him back - he explains things to simply would love to hear and know more about this great great religion of ours - thanks again

As a Zoroastrian, belonging to the Parsi community, it's of great significance for us to be well aware of our religion and it's history. But through this podcast (thanks to Dr. Karanjia, you, and your entire team 🙏🏻), I've gained a deeper understanding of the history and origin of Zoroastrianism.
@Anthony De Mello you are absolutely right the balence should be maintained once it tilts to negative thoughts it will only be bad for the individual itself
Huge respect for Zoroastrians 🙏...this community has done so much for our country.. Tata, Bhabha, Godrej,Field Marshal Maneckshaw🙏🙏can't thank enough ....
I love Zoroastrianism , it’s same like Hinduism or Sanadhana dharma, both are have a strong base of values and never forced anyone to convert and join with them , both are peaceful and have great values 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Loka samastha sukhino bhavanthu ❤

Love for all the parsis around the world This man is like a grandfather , loving , calm , full of knowledge and stories. Bharat will always be home for all parsis no matter what.
I am a Jain and I didn't know much about other religions until I started watching your episodes. Thank you so much for inviting such knowledgable guests onto this platform. These are the only times I feel that internet is a boon. One thing that stayed with me is his explanation of how Zoroastrianism explains why bad happens to the good people. That was such a thirst quenching answer. Another thing that I could gather from such podcasts is that the core of any religion is nothing but a set of principles. For eg. in jainism one core principle is non-violence and Jiyo aur Jeene do. For sikhism from what I understood, it is equality and to fight against injustice. For Zoroastrianism I think it is to protect good against evil. Non of these in my opinion is wrong. It was just an indvidual preference about which set of principles they related more with that people started adopting a particular religion. Over the years, some evil people have divided humans so negatively on the basis of the religion they follow and created controversies between them to use them for their own personal and political motives. People have also conviviently moulded the actual teachings of all religions for their own good and gains. But the fact is that in the true essence, roots of all religions are pure. Ps. I'd love to hear a podcast about Jainism too.

Parsis are some of the nicest and most hardworking people in the world. Thank you for bringing such a wise man on your show. Great learnings....life learnings as well as Zoroastrian history and culture.
Totally blown away! 1) About the breath of your coverage. From Hinduism (roughly 80%), you chose to do a podcast on the tiniest community (roughly 0.008%) of India 2) I am a Parsi priest myself, who initially thought i may know about 5-10% of what there is to know. Now I feel i know as little as the 2nd or 3rd decimals. Pls do get him back. 😊
Beautiful episode and beautiful guest! One of the best. I am Hindu but like you, Ranveer, I'm eager to learn and grow through others. And I feel Dr. Ramiyar is so wise and I resonate with him. Please please bring him back sooner rather than later!
As an Iranian , I should say thank you for this videos about our heritage 🙏 Mehrban Ramyar, dar panah e Ahora maza bashid, sokhananetan basi shirin ast, zor sepas 🙏💕
I am very curious to know ...what do Iranians think of Indians ? Unfortunately, I see Turkish and neighboring countries look down upon Indians...do iranians have the same thought ? And of course I am not looking to start a fight ! Your honesty will be respected :)
@@ethos9403 I know this is not the right view, but unfortunately, there is the same view of India in Iran. Even though most Iranians are currently atheists or have secretly become Zoroastrians again or do not have that petrified Islamic view, their view of India is a little negative because of poverty and large population, and because of religion. Maybe if you come to Iran, they will say that you are a cow worshiper. Unfortunately, people have not seen our cultural shortcomings and see those of other nations. But I hope that with the disappearance of the Islamic government in Iran and more communication between people, these cultural differences will no longer cause pessimism. Sorry for being so clear, you asked me to be honest 🙏
@@nafisehebadi4471 Thankyou!! I hope someday the barriers are broken too ! The society in India is extremely complex.... unfortunately the world prefers to focus on the negatives only ..thankyou for having a open mind despite all the societal pressures you experience!
@@beerbiceps till date no one ever in history was a Prophet. Whom the world addresses as prophets were HABIRUs "chatte hue Badmash" . You ask your team to research upon this subject. I can help you. I understand idol worship inside out.
I was thinking, if we lived that far north at one point, even if it wasn’t as cold as it is today, it would make sense that fire worship/ritual is so significant in Zoroastrianism and Hinduism.
Lol fire worship has nothing to do with originally to keep yourself warm. Why do only indians and Iranians have fire worship while the rest of the pagans in other European countries have no memory of such
At Time stamp - 31:10 It's rather surprising to realize that the festival nowruz which is celebrated by them is same as festival Ugadi that is celebrated by the people of Andhra , Telangana and Karnataka . They fall on same dates as well around march 21 and 22 of this year. It's fascinating to consider how small the world can be!
@@mohdtameemahmed1601even hindu is not hindu ahmed. Jains and Hindus are closely related. They have the same isht devas as hindus and even our lineage of gods is same. For eg, ishvaku vansh ka founder was adinath bhagwan and ram ji was a member of the ishvaku lineage. 63rd generation Ishvaku he was, to be price. Most Jains read Gita and are actively involved in Societal Hindu Fests but keep their own festivals very reserved and low-key. They keep them low key but still spend more money
@@mohdtameemahmed1601 nobody can say that brother. See, Shah is a generic caste, many communities use it. A shah can be Jain as well as normal Hindu. But Gujarati and Rajasthani Shah are more likely to be a combination of both. They consider both rituals to be one. They have faith in Lord Shiva as well as the Tirthankara bhgawaans. I have known many Shahs who have been Jains, Hindus, Both and even many Muslims use that. Theoretically Modi is also Jain but he doesn't come from a Jain Community. He is from an OBC community of Gujarati but he doesn't shy associating with Jain temples and their programs and all. Bcoz Jain population is too low to have a significant vote bank, they don't just publicise their activities much but all Jains know what these men are doing for them at a given time. Most Jain Projects are non governmental because they have a shit ton crapload of money. They were friends with Hindus but now due to propoganda they are turning against them. They think Hindus had overtaken or snatched their temples in the past. And this polarisation is increasing. PS- Adani is Jain.
@@cb9461 that's a total BS my friends great grandpa was a Sanskrit scholar who used to teach it to poor Brahmins ( British love to call such people as 'low cast' individual)
Dr Ramiyar Karanjia spoke so eloquently on the subject of Zoroastrianism it showed his mastery on the subject. Being a Parsi my self I must honestly say that his talk was an eyeopener. He has really done the Parsi community proud. The simplicity of language his profound knowledge on the subject just shows how learned and well informed he is. Not a moment was boring I think he had me glued to the screen. the thirst hasn't been quenched. I was longing that this show never to end and wanted it to keep going. It showed my own ignorance of the subject as nobody before had broached this topic in such a beautiful story form,. of course he was prodded on by Ranveer and he explained every thig so simply. Very informative, and well informed on the subject. what I also learned that he also had mastery of Sanskrit which is the Mother of all languages. Didn't know Sanskrit and Avestan are sister languages. It would take along time to take up each aspect of this wonderful narration and comment on the same. I'll simply say enjoyed every minute of it hoping it would never end. God Bless Dr. Ramiyar and Ranveer for this nicely sequenced Podcast . Hope we have more. 😊🤩

According to ancient Persian legends recorded in Shahnama, the history of ancient Iran begins with conflict of Ahuras (Asuras) and Daevas (Devas). Probably, Daeva or false god or evil spirit Ahriman posed a great challenge to Ahur Mazda. Gayomart or Keyumars was the first king of Zoroastrians or Iranians. He was also the contemporary of Ahriman. Daeva Indra was also an enemy of Ahuras. In all probability, Ahriman was Aryaman who was one of the Adityas of early Vedic period. Devas and Asuras of early Vedic period were cousin brothers. They were always in conflict for political supremacy. Puranic legends relate the legend of Tripurasura and his son Gayasura. Seemingly, Ahur Mazda (Mahasura or Asura Mahad) and his son Gayomart were Tripurasura and Gayasura. Avesta is the oldest text of Zoroastrianism. It is well known that there are significant similarities in the words and grammar of Avestan and Vedic Sanskrit languages. Avesta mentions Mithra, Varuna, Indra, Yama etc. Gathas of Avesta mention Rudra along with Angra Mainyu. Yajurveda’s one mantra (“नमस्ते रुद्र मन्यव”) also mentions Rudra and Manyu. Vedic and post Vedic sources indicate that Asuras also performed Yajnas. Gopatha Brahmana (1.1.10) refers to Asuraveda of Pratichyas (westerners) and Asita Dhānvan, an Asura Rishi. Asita is also mentioned in Avesta. Shānkhāyana Shrauta Sutra mentions about Asuravidyā. Evidently, Asuras compiled their own Veda for performing rituals. The same Asuraveda came to be known as Avesta. Unfortunately, a major portion of Avesta text is now lost. Seemingly, Asuras, cousin brothers of Devas compiled their own Veda. Many Vedic Rishis taught Vedic sciences to Asuras. Sukracharya, a famous Guru of Asuras was known as Kāvi or Kava Us or Kaikaus in Zoroastrianism. Sukracharya was the son of Kavi. He was referred to as Ushanas Kāvya in Rigveda Anukramani. Asuras evolved Avestan Sanskrit based on their own grammar from Proto Sanskrit. Thus, Vedic Sanskrit and Avestan Sanskrit have been artificially evolved and limited to only learned people. The common people of Asura community spoke Proto Iranian that was naturally evolved from Proto Sanskrit. It appears that the early Asuras had settled in Gāndhāra region on the banks of Helmand River. According to Vedic legends, Saramā Devashuni met Panis, a business clan of Asuras on the banks of Rasa River. Most probably, Rasa River was Helmand River of Afghanistan. King Bāhlika (Kuru dynasty) and King Gāndhara (Druhyu dynasty) conquered northern and southern Afghanistan respectively and established their kingdoms around 11100-11000 BCE. Asuras had no other option to migrate further westwards. They settled in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Southern Anatolia. Pani Asuras (known as Phoenicians in the west) migrated up to Atlantic Ocean and a group of Panis might have founded the city of Atlantis which was submerged by sea around 10000 BCE. When the monsoons weakened after 11000 BCE, many groups of Dānavas and Turvashas had also migrated up to Greece and Druhyus had migrated to Sumeria and Syria. Thus, the speakers of Proto-Sanskrit and Proto-Iranian languages laid foundation for the evolution ofall west Asian and European languages. Therefore, Proto-Sanskrit was indeed the mother of Proto Indo-Iranian and Proto Indo-European languages. It appears that the early Zoroastrianism of Asuras was extended from Iran to Southern Anatolia and posed a challenge to Danavas and Turvashas, the early settlers of Greece. Seemingly, there were at least two Zoroasters. The first Zarathushtra also known as Ashu Zarathushtra or Zarathushtra Spitama was the author of Gathas and Yasna Haptanghaiti of Avesta. Though Yayavara brahmanas of Rigvedic era had names like Jaratkaru etc. but Yayavara brahmanas always followed Vedic tradition. Sanskrit poets Bhavabhuti and Rajashekhara belonged to the clan of Yayavara brahmanas. Ancient Greek sources also refer to two Zoroasters. Hermodorus (10th century BCE) believed that Zoroaster I lived 5000 years before the date of Trojan war (1842 BCE). Eudoxus also placed Zoroaster I 6000 years before the lifetime of Plato (11th century BCE). Evidently, Zarathushtra I flourished around 7000 BCE and authored Gathas and Yasna Haptanghaiti of Avesta and recompiled Avesta. Zarathushtra I was like a Veda Vyasa of Zoroastrianism. He transformed Zoroastrianism into Monotheism and founded the basic tenets of Zoroastrian philosophy. This is how an Asuraveda transformed into Avesta and Zoroastrianism around 7000 BCE. Interestingly, Zoroastrianism accepted the Indian concept of Mahayuga of 12000 years that evolved after Ramayana era. Zoroastrianism followed equal length of four Yugas (3000 years of each Yuga) Instead of the differential duration (4:3:2:1) of four Yugas. Danavas and Turvashas of post Vedic era were the worshippers of Vedic devatas like Mitra, Varuna, Indra, Nāsatya and Agni etc. These Vedic gods had been transformed into Greek gods. 12 Olympian gods are like 12 Adityas of Vedic era. The common people from Afghanistan to East Europe prominently worshipped God Mithra. Gradually, Mitra became synonymous to Surya (Sun). Zarathushtra I’s monotheism also influenced the philosophy of Mitra god worshippers of East Europe. Thus, Mithraism was born in East Europe and became a popular religion before the birth of Christianity around 600-300 BCE. Mithraism has been meticulously destroyed and wiped out by the Christian fraudster scholars and their authoritarian kings. Probably, many Indian families of Balochistan and Gandhara had also migrated to Sumeria, Babylon, Egypt around 11000 BCE. Puranas indicates that the sons of Prachetas, a descendant of Druhyu dynasty migrated to west and became the kings of Mlechcha countries. Sumerians and Egyptians started learning the basics of Indian astronomy and mathematics in the post-Ramayana era. This is the reason why Sumerians and Egyptians also believed that their gods and ancestors reigned for thousands of years. Sumerians and Egyptians also followed the Yuga of 4,32,000 years. A group of Babylonians came under the influence of Zoroastrianism who evolved the philosophy of Judaism. Yavanas and Bactrians of northern Afghanistan and Turkmenistan learnt the Surya Siddhanta of Mayasura (6778 BCE) and evolved Yavana Siddhanta under the influence of Surya Siddhanta. Many familes of Yavanas had migrated to Greece and western Anatoliaaround 5000-4500 BCE and came to be known “Ionians” and “Javans”. These migrated Yavanas traced the Vedic origin of Greek gods & goddesses and introduced the Indian sciences to Greece. Consequently, Hellenistic Greek mythology and Hellenistic sciences have been evolved. Seemingly, Zoroastrianism was declined around 3000-1300 BCE due to the political rise of Egypt, Sumeria-Babylonia and Assyria. Persia was under the rule of Sumerians and Babylonians around 3000-1700 BCE. The rising Buddhism also posed a great challenge to Zoroastrianism around 1800- 1300 BCE. The Kayanian dynasty was reigning over Persia around 1700-1300 BCE. Zoroaster II was born in Magha country (North Bactria, North Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) around 1307 BCE and revived Zoroastrianism. Since Magha was the birthplace of Zoroaster II, Zoroastrianism also came to be known as Maghism. Maghism or Later Zoroastrianism accepted the solar calendar and started celebrating Navroj. Kayanian king Gustaspa declared Zoroastrianism as the state religion. Acheamenids and Sasanians promoted Zoroastrianism. Unfortunately, the Zoroastrians of Iran and Turkmenistan had no other option to surrender to the barbaric Islamic invaders. The converted Magist Muslims (Zoroastrian Muslims) came to be known as Mughals who invaded and established their kingdom in India in medieval period. Thus, the glorious Zoroastrianism of Vedic era has been wiped out from Iran. Today, a micro minority community of Zoroastrians in India is struggling to preserve their glorious heritage.
@VK One yes you are correct, Devas, Asuras, Daityas, Dānavas all were brothers born from different mothers, they were the sons of Aditi, Diti, Danu and Rishi Kashyap was their father
@VK One The genetic and cultural similarities between people of West Asia and India can be accounted for by some of the migrations mentioned by Krishna in Mahabharata. The context was post-Jarāsandha and Krishna suggesting to Yudhishtira to conduct Rajasuya yajna.* Krishna narrates the series of troubles faced by his clan (Yadava - Bhojas) on account of Jarāsandha and where they had gone in a bid to escape the wrath of Jarāsandha. Some of the names and incidents mentioned by Krishna can be cross-checked by other sources, offering proof of historicity of those and other references. There are some who were residents of western section of India beyond the Indus. A list of all of them is given below with cross- references wherever available. Those who were friends of Jarasandha. (Some of them were located outside India) 1. Sisupala, (related to Krishna) 2. Vaka (king of Karushas) 3. Hansa 4. Dimvaka 5. Dantavakra 6. Karusha 7. Karava 8. Meghavahana 9. Bhagadatta, ** King of Yavanas (भगदत्तॊ महाराज ) [Raghu Vamsam authored by Kalidasa says that King Raghu, the ancestor of Rama went to Parasīka (Persia) during his Dig-Vijaya and brought it under his control. This is proof of connection with Persia even before Ramayana times. Bhagadatta’s cordial relationship with both Pandu and Jarāsandha alike could perhaps be the result of a conscious effort to keep up good relationship with powerful kings of Bharat to avoid any hostility. That perhaps continued till the times of Seleucus Nicator under whom Bagadates I served as a vassal.] He was a vassal of Jarasandha as per the description. He was affectionate towards Yudhishtira and was a friend of Pandu, says Krishna. It must be noted that a king almost by the same name ruled parts of Persia. He was Bagadates I, who lived in the 3rd century BCE and was supposed to be an indigenous ruler of Persia. He belonged to Persis (Fars) in present day Iran. Seleucus I Nicator was his contemporary. The phonetic similarity with Bagadatta, mentioned by Krishna as powerful king of the Yavanas cannot be dismissed lightly, as Bagadates means ‘Given by God’ in Old Iranian. The meaning is the same for Bhagadatta also. Datta means given. Bhaga is another name for Sun. Bhagadatta is he who has been given by the Sun. Bhagadatta as a friend and vassal of Jarāsandha and as an old friend of Pandu, in good relationship with Yudhishtira can be expected to have taken back home many Vedic practices and principles. From Krishna's words, it is known that he had a special relationship with Jarāsandha. The phonetic similarity between Jarāsandha and Zoroastrian lends credibility to the view that the religious codes followed by the followers of Jarāsandha came to be known as Zoroastrian religion or sect. Almost all the friends of Jarāsandha were in the West. Those who shared friendship with Jarāsandha but preferred to stay in the west followed the same Vedic religion of Jarāsandha, but some of them kept off from mainstream Vedic India. The isolation caused by this could have given rise to their Vedic life becoming different in due course. The Vedic knowledge they had taken with them had become stagnant or mutated in course of time in the wake of reduced connection with mainland India after Jarāsandha was gone. That is how we have come to see some similarities between Zoroastrian Avesta and the 8th Mandala of Rig Veda. (refer Shrikant Talageri) The 8th Mandala is unique in that the name Krishna is mentioned at quite a few verses. {This will be written in another article}. What is being highlighted here is that parts of 8th Mandala of Rig Veda was formed in Krishna’s times or a little later and people who have gone to the west of India had knowledge of it. With passing of times, parts of that knowledge had found their way into Zend Avesta. Now continuing with other names, 10. Purujit, maternal uncle of Yudhishtira was favourably disposed to Jarāsandha. (related to Krishna) 11. Paundaraka and Vasudeva of Chedi. 12. Bhishmaka, king of Bhojas. (related to Krishna) 13. Krata-Kausikas (related to Krishna) Those who fled to the West for fear of Jarāsandha 1. 18 tribes of Bhojas 2. the Surasenas 3. the Bhadrakas 4. the Vodhas 5. the Salwas 6. the Patachchavas 7. the Susthalas 8. the Mukuttas 9. the Kulindas 10. the Kuntis (till this all were related to Krishna) 11. Salwayana 12. the southern Panchalas 13. the eastern Kosalas Those who fled to South (India) 1. the Matsyas 2. the Sannyastapadas Those who fled in all directions 1. all the Panchalas. Krishna also fled to the west. But this territory is Dvārakā! Krishna says that 18 branches of Yadavas left along with him to start a new life in Dvārakā. He mentions this twice in this chapter in his conversation with Yudhishtira.
I don't understand, normally with think that asuras were the bad guys, so are you saying that people from the west were the asuras mentioned in the Vedas?
@@tejasindian4208 if you think khan is muslim it is not it is pronounced as ' Kan ' by mongols meaning King or leader the title was only absorbed by muslims when the Mongols invaded the middle east
So proud to see my culture and religion being highlighted and explained through this podcast! Thank you, Ranveer for sharing it with the world. Really appreciate it!♥️🙏
@@Womendeservebetter1 not exactly, Avesta mentions of Dyeva & Ashura what in Vedic we call Devas & Asuras!! Zoroastrianism is a henotheistic religion not monotheist.
@@darkassassin9686nope you're wrong my Lineage is Persian, we are clearly Monotheist and the Ashura topic you're talking about is because we lost our scriptures so we used Sanskrit instead Ashura simply Means demon while hindus veds alao preach Monotheism. Dveya isn't about god we have the same taglines like Abhramic faith No one is worthy of worship other than Single true' God
I don't know how to say a single word but thank you so much Ranveer Bhai. The podcast about Zoroastrianism is needed. I definitely think your podcast should be compulsory subject in schools.
I look forward to Dr. Ramiyar Karanjia coming on the show again. He has so much knowledge and can tie things together so well, showing the connections between religions, stories, etc. Wonderful!!
*I bought a book "Murder mystery of repoter" by Jaiprakash Jha. It's a wonderful book. I was surprised with the story. I will recommend all of you to read this book. Online available*🇮🇳🇮🇳
It is not because of mus lims or Arabs that Persians fell, it is because of their own tyranny and they are replaced by Arab mus lims, Sasanians were superpower of the world when our Prophet Muhammad got Prophethood and Persians were about to annex Byzantine Empire and did big damage to them, but somehow Roman Byzantine king Hercules managed to invade persepolis because all Persian soldiers were in Asia minor to enter Europe, and this is how sasanids got defeated by Romans and Persians agreed to pay for reparations... Both empires had one thing in common which is ty ranny, which was against everyone including its own people, people were fed up because of such restrictions and dic tatorship... Also it was written in the books of Zoroastrians that A Prophet would come and they have to follow him, this is the reason why most Zoroastrians accepted is lam after Arab conquest, Prophet Muhammad sent letter to invite Khusrow II to is lam but he tore the letter, he was later kil led by his own son who overthrown his government and started more ty ranny and even challenged mus lims... Then we mus lims invaded Persia and companions of Prophet conquered Persia .. one of the companion who was a commander was Salman the Persian, he told Persians that oh the people of Persia, I am among your community, these Arabs had racial supremacy and never wanted anyone else, now accepted me as a commander, if this is not a prove that we are not fighting for our own materialistic benefits but for one true God then what else is it?... They already believed in Prophet Zoroaster so they accepted new prophet i.e Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and all other prophets before him both is raelites and non is raelite prophets, small numbers of them refused to convert but still lived there Now coming to the persecution part, it never happened during the time of First four caliphs, not even after it was conquered otherwise nobody would have accepted is lam, it likely to happened after death of 5th Caliph and 6th Caliph was Yazid the cruel under whose rule Grandson of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) hazrat Imam Hussain (ra) got martyrdom, do you know about Karbala? many companions of prophet got martyrdom under the reign of those ty rants such Yazid, and also Governor Hajjaj bin Yusuf, Parsis are likely persecuted during this period and even after that some cruels came, Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz came and stopped all blunders made by previous tyrant caliphs came after yazid, during his rule nobody was left to take charity but he himself had financial problem, this is called true leader... So bottom-line is, those who can ki ll grandson of prophets can't persecute Zoroastrians? Zoroastrians are nothing in front of imam hussain... As for Irani migration during colonial period so that was Qajar era, they used to perse cute iranis, that was a time when Sunni had no rule, A dynasty called Safavid conquered Iran from Sunnis and forced converted them into shia, so those who can force convert Sunnis and turn it into shia nation would spare Zoroastrians and let them to live freely? Even Sunnis can't live in peace in Iran
I want to watch more episodes with this wonderful guest. This podcast has cleared so many confusions regarding hindu culture and history. BRING HIM BACK!!! TRS!!! 🙏❤
This show was super interesting! This gentleman deserves another show with less interuptions so he can continue with his flow of thought. Looking forward to hearing from more guests Ranveer. Kudos
God bless you both - what a wonderful podcast with reasonable, caring and kindness tone. Zoroastrians like me are so blessed that we have Dr Karanjia. Every Zoroastrian needs to hear his voice and educated balanced passion.
What a lovely conversation it was, so much to learn from! Dr. Ramiyar is such a knowledgeable and positive personality. Please bring him back for more such amazing conversations.
After Mohsin Sir Dr. Ramiyar has added some other level knowledge to our kitty. Thank you so much for this. If you have not done this, it would never have reached us. Thank you so so much.
Ranveer, i knew zilch about Zorastrianism and i must say this podcast was enlightening, expanding and exhilirating. Dr Ramiyar is surely an elevated soul. The ease and clarity of style of narration kept me glued to not miss a single word. My second born came out of my womb with a smile on her face- she did not cry till the nurse started smacking her. I feel truly blessed. Look forward to every episode - Hindi, English - bring it on. 🙌🙌🙌❤
ALL EPISODES ARE AMAZING! THIS EPISODE IS EXTREMELY OUTSTANDING. LOT OF RESPECT TO THE GUEST. MOST SOFTSPOKEN, REASONING & PERSPECTIVE GENTLEMAN. LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCH MORE INSIGHT FROM HIM (DR RAMIYAR)
I've studied in a Parsi School and it was so lovely knowing all this!! I had the same thought myself that its very similar to Krishna's story. Also, one random thought that crossed my mind during this conversation was that Globe is a little tilted, Sister Shivani says, we are at Sangam yug, which is shown like that only (5 minutes to 12). Is it that there's going to be an apocalyptic event soon and the earth will be straight and aligned again with pleasant seasons and peace throughout, the so called Satyug? Well, only time will tell!! I had a great time hearing this one like all the others. You are a star Ranveer, take a bow!!
It's great that through your Podcast you are giving others the oppurtunity to share knowledge about Parsi Culture. Dr. Ramiyar Sir is an Encyclopedia of Zoroastrian knowledge. After listening to him I can understand how this religion is bringing positivity to whereever they exist and Sir Ratan Tata is the living example of it, God Bless him.
What a great episode. As a devoted disciple of Zoroastrianism, this episode was very much enlightening. I want to suggest working on Islamic Mysticism as well like Rumi’s Mevlevi or Cheshti school of thought. They are also very rich in spirituality. Thank you very much. Mumtaz from Afghanistan.
I am so addicted to your videos. Such a great job. Kudos.... Amazing to watch. God bless you and everyone who all are reading this. Spirituality, faith, prayers are the only solution of this dark age. Namaste🙏
This is mind opener podcast by beer biceps . Being a student of History I always remained starved of Zoroastrian history . The popular history books in India do not tell much about them . This is super special for me .... Thanks from deep down inside .
OMG MY 2 FAVOURITE GUYS,MY GURU MR. KARANJIA and U. I LOVE READING ABOUT HIS COLUMNS IN PARSI NEWSPAPER. THANKS 4 MAKING MY DAY. 🙏🤗. Biggest fan of ur pod cast.
@BeerBiceps … Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 In Vedic times, the bark of Acacia catechu was known as somatvak and was associated with soma. The Acacia catechu tree, indigenous to South Asia… based on research I’ve done this seems to be the closest to as Described and effects . Also still used by African shamans even today (many varieties of Acacia are used in a psychoactive and shamanic ceremony) … passing along the information my friend! Blissings and Gratitude 🙏 🕉️🧙♂️🇨🇦🔱🐲🐉❤️🔥♒️ This is most enlightening and informative conversation 🙏
This is wonderful. I have always wanted to learn about the life and religion of Parsis. Let us have another episode with Dr Ramiyar. One gentle suggestion - let there be lesser interruptions when the Dr is speaking. It may be breaking his flow.
Thank You So Much Ranveer Allahbadia Sir & Team To Podcast with Dr. Ramiyar Sir Please Make More Podcast With Him We Proud Of Our Zoroastrians Parsies 🙏🙏❤️❤️💎💎💯💯🕉️🕉️🚩🚩🇮🇳🇮🇳

I have been researching this religion simply because I am curious. Just wanted to say this channel is amazing. You are a super talented interviewer Ranveer. You are polite, listen, and ask very good questions. Thanks so much! I will definitely be looking for more content on Dr. Ramiyar
Am a hindu....and my manas kanya is a Parsi girl....Gem of a person in all respect. This enlightened me on basic n ethics of Parsi Community..... Jay Gurudev 🌹🌹🌹
Once again felt proud as a Sanatani as we don't believe in One God philosophy... The beauty of Sanatan is we can find God in Simple to simple things like land fire water air trees everything...we respect all religions....we also love all our parsi brothers and sisters.... thanks for all your contribution to this country ❤️❤️
WE SANATANI DO BELIVE IN ONE GOD WHO IS WORSHIPED IN MANY OF HIS FORMS WITH DIFFERENT NAMES BASED ON HIS DIFFERENT KARMA. THAT ONE GOD IN HINDUISM HAVE MULTIPLE NAMES LIKE PARAMBHRAMA, PARAMATAMA, PARMESHWAR, PRABHU IN SANSKRIT OR BHAGWAN IN HINDI.
literally, my heartbeat was pounding..the moment he was drawing a solid concrete bridge between sanatan dharm and zoroastrianism...it felt so good!! not many people agree on these things
Just wanted to add the geographical description of Aryavarta as described in Manusmiriti shloka no. 2.22. In the Vedic Yajna of Sautramani even now we use Soma Rasa. It's found in Maunjabaan hills according to Rigveda and Atharvaveda.

Please call Dr. Ramiyar sir again... He has knowledge of both parsi and hindu culture and history.... And he gives a very positive vibes.. 🙂 May he live long.. jai sri ram🙏🏻🚩😊
Thanks to India the Parsi community have a safe home, unlike the Jewish community who have been so persecuted over the centuries that they really do deserve and need a safe home in Israel, alas the Palestinians also need a safe home country. Wish all humans could live with each other in harmony celebrating our differences
Your content is never ever disappointing...they're always so enlightening and knowledge loaded...literally kept the 9th hour of the day for watching TRS podcasts lately as they're addictive in all ways...this one is gonna be equally good...thanks to Ranveer Sir 💕💕congratulations for 5 M you'll grow more...you're the best lots of love..❤️❤️
What a guest! Please kindly invite Dr. Ramiyar over again, I am fascinated on the similar parallels between Hinduism and Zoroastrianism, I truly learnt something new today!
You are reiterating the point that Sanathan Dharma is not about putting others beliefs and religion down because yours is different. Its a brilliant idea to bring along different religions and beliefs onto one platform.. the Ranveer show 😊. Thank you .. Yazdan Panah Baad🙌
Ranveer note Zoroastrian is connected to brahmins.Zarathustra was definitely a Kashmiri Brahman from India as he was an Atharvan[6], who called himself a zaotar[7], manthran[8] and datta.[9] He was referred to as an erishi[10] and ratu[11].[12] He also wore the sacred thread and dressed like a traditional Kashmiri Pandit, compiled Gāthās containing Vedic verses, worshiped Varuna (Ahura Mazda) and venerated other holy Vedic Asuras. He lived as an ascetic in a cave[13] for some time and also had other traits similar to that of an Indian Brahman, not to mention other customs similar to those of Kashmiri Hindus . Zoroaster was a Hindu Kashmiri pandit
@@placeboeffect7031you think all the leaf pamphlets are a joke? Centuries old manuscripts on leaves still preserved. Hinduism is the oldest surviving religion. Rest all are derived from hinduism.
Parsis co exist with hindus as they accept the strong co existence of other religions. I respect all parsis for their phenomenal contribution to India, s growth and making india 🇮🇳 modern and develop. One and only Jamshed ji tata and dr. Homi jahangir bhabha.
At 48:50 you were discussing the Samskrt equivalent of khwarna or consciousness which is Chit or chaitanya. Purest substratum is sat chid Anand that emanates everything. It is not unique to Zoroastrainism. It's the subject and essence to Vedas in upanishads which is the vedanta
Peace from the way to the North. Norvegia(from old) or known as Norway today. To all my brothers and sisters all over the known world and further on...
8:40 "Invasion" is different and "movement of people" is different. Invasion means attack the indigenous population and rule on them. And movement means free movement. May be free movement happened.
Thank you Ranveer for interviewing the most knowledgeable person in Zoroastrian religion today. As a Zoroastrian myself, I think you have picked the right person for this podcast, there can be no one better than Ramiyar sir to explain the religion as is. Thank you for highlighting my religion to the world.❤
Well done. Zoroastianism is part of our culture. Especially in takshshila debates used to happen with zoroastian priests as well. Many of our vedic rishis were accepted into vedic fold from parsi priests.
@Deira854 first if all theres a difference between modern day punjabi and ancient punjabi dna. They r not the same. Ganga region is from where alot of punjabis came from. Takshila was also their city. Lahore was setup by them. Except jatts and minor turkic components most Punjabis have ganga region ancestors but now very much mixed with defeated tribes of central asia like jatts and kushans. Thats y u see women are white and men are black. Ganga yamuna region also set up many south east Asian and south indian kingdoms. They r definitely not dravidians. As a punjabi I'm proud of my aryavarta ancestors of ganga yamuna region.
@@gravewalker34 what the hell are you talking about. The so called Aryavarta did not even include Ganga. In Rig Veda there is no mention of Ganga, only the rivers in the extreme North West. Ganga people have nothing to do with Ancient Vedic people. Those people were much closer to Iranians and Central Asians than to Ganga Indians. Thats why there were so many similarities between them and Zoroastrians
The podcast is fabulous!! We are really missing out in understanding more of such a classical philosophy!! Please please bring him back for more!! 👌👍❤️
I appreciate that Dr. Ramiyar didn't feel the need to exaggerate his experience of drinking haoma. Many other religious teachers or scholars often fictionalize their experiences regarding particular rituals or events. This whole podcast was very insightful and refreshing. I have always been intrigued by the Parsi community and Zoroastrianism in general. Unfortunately, we have a very small group of Parsis in Karachi right now; most of them have migrated for obvious reasons. Also kudos to Ranveer for always bringing in great people on his show.
Rishi Vashista is also mentioned in Zoroastrian too Zoroaster was a Hindu Brahmin . Check the parshu tribe migration from Rigveda. Also our Dna R1A1 is also same no doubt we are same
@@sahilsingh6048 no its not assumption check Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus he wrote Zoroaster was a Kashmiri brahmin born near Afghanistan and kashmir
@@sahilsingh6048 do you even know Zoroaster was not born in Iran he was born in border of Afghanistan and Kashmir.Even parsi people wore sacred thread(janeu).perform yasna ( yajna/ yagya). Zoroastrian came out of Vedic religion( hinduism or Brahminism)
We Indians and specifically Parsi community should preserve, propagate their community. They are real minority but never played victimhood card. They never feeled threatened in India.
Make a podcast on SIKH EMPIRE.. which was the mightiest at it’s time!! And plz make sure to do show with some sikh historian like Dr. Sukhpreet singh udooke .. else it will be like Bollywood representing sikhs
The most laudable line that he uttered was "just because we do not agree with each other, we do not become enemies, it only means we are thinking differently." If only some religious bigots took this view, most of humankind's problems would be solved immediately.

Hello
S.N Tavaria was a parsi mystic who was a yogi and knew sanskrit.
No, they are not that smart, they couldn’t even preserve their own religion and culture in their “holy land”. The Avesta text is several hundred years later than the Rig Veda. Moreover, they have not got a vast corpus like Sanskrit prior to Panini. The Priest is using stories in the Avestan as historical evidence. I can’t see how Academics can take him seriously. If he thinks so called monotheism comes from his religion, then he is obligated to demonstrate the conceptual developments. One can clearly trace the Monistic conception from the Rig Veda to the Upanishads. I am not sure his religion possess such conceptual developments. Most Iranians don’t possess a rigorous understanding of their culture and literature.

Hey, I have Parsi friends. I never spoke to them about religion because I didn't know about Hinduism 😁. What I observed is they are like us means they don't believe in expansion and forcing their religion on others. Self-enlightenment and sociable are wills.

As a Zoroastrian, belonging to the Parsi community, it's of great significance for us to be well aware of our religion and it's history. But through this podcast (thanks to Dr. Karanjia, you, and your entire team 🙏🏻), I've gained a deeper understanding of the history and origin of Zoroastrianism.
@Anthony De Mello you are absolutely right the balence should be maintained once it tilts to negative thoughts it will only be bad for the individual itself

It is not because of mus lims or Arabs that Persians fell, it is because of their own tyranny and they are replaced by Arab mus lims, Sasanians were superpower of the world when our Prophet Muhammad got Prophethood and Persians were about to annex Byzantine Empire and did big damage to them, but somehow Roman Byzantine king Hercules managed to invade persepolis because all Persian soldiers were in Asia minor to enter Europe, and this is how sasanids got defeated by Romans and Persians agreed to pay for reparations... Both empires had one thing in common which is ty ranny, which was against everyone including its own people, people were fed up because of such restrictions and dic tatorship... Also it was written in the books of Zoroastrians that A Prophet would come and they have to follow him, this is the reason why most Zoroastrians accepted is lam after Arab conquest, Prophet Muhammad sent letter to invite Khusrow II to is lam but he tore the letter, he was later kil led by his own son who overthrown his government and started more ty ranny and even challenged mus lims... Then we mus lims invaded Persia and companions of Prophet conquered Persia .. one of the companion who was a commander was Salman the Persian, he told Persians that oh the people of Persia, I am among your community, these Arabs had racial supremacy and never wanted anyone else, now accepted me as a commander, if this is not a prove that we are not fighting for our own materialistic benefits but for one true God then what else is it?...

Thanks so much
I am a Jain and I didn't know much about other religions until I started watching your episodes. Thank you so much for inviting such knowledgable guests onto this platform. These are the only times I feel that internet is a boon. One thing that stayed with me is his explanation of how Zoroastrianism explains why bad happens to the good people. That was such a thirst quenching answer. Another thing that I could gather from such podcasts is that the core of any religion is nothing but a set of principles. For eg. in jainism one core principle is non-violence and Jiyo aur Jeene do. For sikhism from what I understood, it is equality and to fight against injustice. For Zoroastrianism I think it is to protect good against evil. Non of these in my opinion is wrong. It was just an indvidual preference about which set of principles they related more with that people started adopting a particular religion. Over the years, some evil people have divided humans so negatively on the basis of the religion they follow and created controversies between them to use them for their own personal and political motives. People have also conviviently moulded the actual teachings of all religions for their own good and gains. But the fact is that in the true essence, roots of all religions are pure.
Ps. I'd love to hear a podcast about Jainism too.

@@ethos9403 I know this is not the right view, but unfortunately, there is the same view of India in Iran. Even though most Iranians are currently atheists or have secretly become Zoroastrians again or do not have that petrified Islamic view, their view of India is a little negative because of poverty and large population, and because of religion. Maybe if you come to Iran, they will say that you are a cow worshiper. Unfortunately, people have not seen our cultural shortcomings and see those of other nations. But I hope that with the disappearance of the Islamic government in Iran and more communication between people, these cultural differences will no longer cause pessimism.

I have known many Shahs who have been Jains, Hindus, Both and even many Muslims use that.
Theoretically Modi is also Jain but he doesn't come from a Jain Community. He is from an OBC community of Gujarati but he doesn't shy associating with Jain temples and their programs and all. Bcoz Jain population is too low to have a significant vote bank, they don't just publicise their activities much but all Jains know what these men are doing for them at a given time. Most Jain Projects are non governmental because they have a shit ton crapload of money. They were friends with Hindus but now due to propoganda they are turning against them. They think Hindus had overtaken or snatched their temples in the past. And this polarisation is increasing.

He has really done the Parsi community proud. The simplicity of language his profound knowledge on the subject just shows how learned and well informed he is. Not a moment was boring I think he had me glued to the screen. the thirst hasn't been quenched. I was longing that this show never to end and wanted it to keep going. It showed my own ignorance of the subject as nobody before had broached this topic in such a beautiful story form,. of course he was prodded on by Ranveer and he explained every thig so simply. Very informative, and well informed on the subject. what I also learned that he also had mastery of Sanskrit which is the Mother of all languages. Didn't know Sanskrit and Avestan are sister languages. It would take along time to take up each aspect of this wonderful narration and comment on the same. I'll simply say enjoyed every minute of it hoping it would never end. God Bless Dr. Ramiyar and Ranveer for this nicely sequenced Podcast . Hope we have more. 😊🤩

Even Sunnis can't live in peace in Iran
According to ancient Persian legends recorded in Shahnama, the history of ancient Iran begins with conflict of Ahuras (Asuras) and Daevas (Devas). Probably, Daeva or false god or evil spirit Ahriman posed a great challenge to Ahur Mazda. Gayomart or Keyumars was the first king of Zoroastrians or Iranians. He was also the contemporary of Ahriman. Daeva Indra was also an enemy of Ahuras. In all probability, Ahriman was Aryaman who was one of the Adityas of early Vedic period. Devas and Asuras of early Vedic period were cousin brothers. They were always in
conflict for political supremacy. Puranic legends relate the legend of Tripurasura and his son Gayasura. Seemingly, Ahur Mazda (Mahasura or Asura Mahad) and his son Gayomart were Tripurasura and Gayasura. Avesta is the oldest text of Zoroastrianism. It is well known that there are significant similarities in the words and grammar of Avestan and Vedic Sanskrit languages. Avesta mentions Mithra, Varuna, Indra, Yama etc. Gathas of Avesta mention Rudra along with Angra Mainyu. Yajurveda’s one mantra (“नमस्ते रुद्र मन्यव”) also mentions Rudra and Manyu. Vedic and post Vedic sources indicate that Asuras also performed Yajnas. Gopatha Brahmana (1.1.10) refers to Asuraveda of Pratichyas (westerners) and Asita Dhānvan, an Asura Rishi. Asita is also mentioned in Avesta.
Shānkhāyana Shrauta Sutra mentions about Asuravidyā. Evidently, Asuras compiled their own Veda for performing rituals. The same Asuraveda came to be known as Avesta. Unfortunately, a major portion of Avesta text is now lost. Seemingly, Asuras, cousin brothers of Devas compiled their own Veda. Many Vedic Rishis taught Vedic sciences to Asuras. Sukracharya, a famous Guru of Asuras was known as Kāvi or Kava Us or Kaikaus in Zoroastrianism. Sukracharya was the son of Kavi. He was referred to as Ushanas Kāvya in Rigveda Anukramani. Asuras evolved Avestan Sanskrit based on their own grammar from Proto Sanskrit. Thus, Vedic Sanskrit and Avestan Sanskrit have been artificially evolved and limited to only learned people. The common people of Asura community spoke Proto Iranian that was naturally evolved from Proto Sanskrit. It appears that the early Asuras had settled in Gāndhāra region on the banks of Helmand River. According to Vedic legends, Saramā Devashuni met Panis, a business clan of Asuras on the banks of Rasa River. Most probably, Rasa River was Helmand River of Afghanistan. King Bāhlika (Kuru dynasty) and King Gāndhara (Druhyu dynasty) conquered northern and southern Afghanistan respectively and established their kingdoms around 11100-11000 BCE.
Asuras had no other option to migrate further westwards. They settled in Iran, Iraq, Syria and Southern Anatolia. Pani Asuras (known as Phoenicians in the west) migrated up to Atlantic Ocean and a group of Panis might have founded the city of Atlantis which was submerged by sea around 10000 BCE. When the monsoons weakened after 11000 BCE, many groups of Dānavas and Turvashas had also migrated up to Greece and Druhyus had migrated to Sumeria and Syria. Thus, the speakers of Proto-Sanskrit and Proto-Iranian languages laid foundation for the evolution ofall west Asian and European languages. Therefore, Proto-Sanskrit was indeed the mother of Proto Indo-Iranian and Proto Indo-European languages. It appears that the early Zoroastrianism of Asuras was extended from Iran to Southern Anatolia and posed a challenge to Danavas and Turvashas, the early settlers of Greece. Seemingly, there were at least two Zoroasters. The first Zarathushtra also known as Ashu Zarathushtra or Zarathushtra Spitama was the author of Gathas and Yasna Haptanghaiti of Avesta. Though Yayavara brahmanas of Rigvedic era had names like Jaratkaru etc. but Yayavara brahmanas always followed Vedic tradition. Sanskrit poets Bhavabhuti and Rajashekhara belonged to the clan of Yayavara brahmanas. Ancient Greek sources also refer to two Zoroasters. Hermodorus (10th century BCE) believed that Zoroaster I lived 5000 years before the date of Trojan war (1842 BCE). Eudoxus also placed Zoroaster I 6000 years before the lifetime of Plato (11th century BCE).
Evidently, Zarathushtra I flourished around 7000 BCE and authored Gathas and Yasna Haptanghaiti of Avesta and recompiled Avesta. Zarathushtra I was like a Veda Vyasa of Zoroastrianism. He transformed Zoroastrianism into Monotheism and founded the basic tenets of Zoroastrian philosophy. This is how an Asuraveda transformed into Avesta and Zoroastrianism
around 7000 BCE. Interestingly, Zoroastrianism accepted the Indian concept of Mahayuga of 12000 years that evolved after Ramayana era. Zoroastrianism followed equal length of four Yugas (3000 years of each Yuga) Instead of the differential duration (4:3:2:1) of four Yugas.
Danavas and Turvashas of post Vedic era were the worshippers of Vedic devatas like Mitra, Varuna, Indra, Nāsatya and Agni etc. These Vedic gods had been transformed into Greek gods. 12 Olympian gods are like 12 Adityas of Vedic era. The common people from Afghanistan to East Europe prominently worshipped God Mithra. Gradually, Mitra became synonymous to Surya (Sun). Zarathushtra I’s monotheism also influenced the philosophy of Mitra god worshippers of East Europe. Thus, Mithraism was born in East Europe and became a popular religion before the birth of Christianity around 600-300 BCE. Mithraism has been meticulously destroyed and wiped out by the Christian fraudster scholars and their authoritarian kings.
Probably, many Indian families of Balochistan and Gandhara had also migrated to Sumeria, Babylon, Egypt around 11000 BCE. Puranas indicates that the sons of Prachetas, a descendant of Druhyu dynasty migrated to west and became the kings of Mlechcha countries. Sumerians and Egyptians started learning the basics of Indian astronomy and mathematics in the post-Ramayana era. This is the reason why Sumerians and Egyptians also believed that their gods and ancestors reigned for thousands of years. Sumerians and Egyptians also followed the Yuga of 4,32,000 years. A group of Babylonians came under the influence of Zoroastrianism who evolved the philosophy of Judaism. Yavanas and Bactrians of northern Afghanistan and Turkmenistan learnt
the Surya Siddhanta of Mayasura (6778 BCE) and evolved Yavana Siddhanta under the influence of Surya Siddhanta. Many familes of Yavanas had migrated to Greece and western Anatoliaaround 5000-4500 BCE and came to be known “Ionians” and “Javans”. These migrated Yavanas traced the Vedic origin of Greek gods & goddesses and introduced the Indian sciences to Greece. Consequently, Hellenistic Greek mythology and Hellenistic sciences have been evolved. Seemingly, Zoroastrianism was declined around 3000-1300 BCE due to the political rise of Egypt, Sumeria-Babylonia and Assyria. Persia was under the rule of Sumerians and Babylonians around 3000-1700 BCE. The rising Buddhism also posed a great challenge to Zoroastrianism around 1800-
1300 BCE. The Kayanian dynasty was reigning over Persia around 1700-1300 BCE. Zoroaster II was born in Magha country (North Bactria, North Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) around 1307 BCE and revived Zoroastrianism. Since Magha was the birthplace of Zoroaster II, Zoroastrianism also came to be known as Maghism. Maghism or Later Zoroastrianism accepted the solar calendar and started celebrating Navroj. Kayanian king Gustaspa declared Zoroastrianism as the state religion. Acheamenids and Sasanians promoted Zoroastrianism. Unfortunately, the Zoroastrians of Iran and Turkmenistan had no other option to surrender to the barbaric Islamic invaders. The converted Magist Muslims (Zoroastrian Muslims) came to be known as Mughals who invaded and established their kingdom in India in medieval period. Thus, the glorious
Zoroastrianism of Vedic era has been wiped out from Iran. Today, a micro minority community of Zoroastrians in India is struggling to preserve their glorious heritage.
Exactly Zoroaster was a Kashmiri brahmin
Thank you so much for making the effort to put this comment.
@VK One yes you are correct, Devas, Asuras, Daityas, Dānavas all were brothers born from different mothers, they were the sons of Aditi, Diti, Danu and Rishi Kashyap was their father
@VK One The genetic and cultural similarities between people of West Asia and India can be accounted for by some of the migrations mentioned by Krishna in Mahabharata. The context was post-Jarāsandha and Krishna suggesting to Yudhishtira to conduct Rajasuya yajna.* Krishna narrates the series of troubles faced by his clan (Yadava - Bhojas) on account of Jarāsandha and where they had gone in a bid to escape the wrath of Jarāsandha. Some of the names and incidents mentioned by Krishna can be cross-checked by other sources, offering proof of historicity of those and other references. There are some who were residents of western section of India beyond the Indus. A list of all of them is given below with cross- references wherever available.
Those who were friends of Jarasandha. (Some of them were located outside India)
1. Sisupala, (related to Krishna)
2. Vaka (king of Karushas)
3. Hansa
4. Dimvaka
5. Dantavakra
6. Karusha
7. Karava
8. Meghavahana
9. Bhagadatta, ** King of Yavanas (भगदत्तॊ महाराज )
[Raghu Vamsam authored by Kalidasa says that King Raghu, the ancestor of Rama went to Parasīka (Persia) during his Dig-Vijaya and brought it under his control. This is proof of connection with Persia even before Ramayana times. Bhagadatta’s cordial relationship with both Pandu and Jarāsandha alike could perhaps be the result of a conscious effort to keep up good relationship with powerful kings of Bharat to avoid any hostility. That perhaps continued till the times of Seleucus Nicator under whom Bagadates I served as a vassal.]
He was a vassal of Jarasandha as per the description. He was affectionate towards Yudhishtira and was a friend of Pandu, says Krishna.
It must be noted that a king almost by the same name ruled parts of Persia. He was Bagadates I, who lived in the 3rd century BCE and was supposed to be an indigenous ruler of Persia. He belonged to Persis (Fars) in present day Iran. Seleucus I Nicator was his contemporary.
The phonetic similarity with Bagadatta, mentioned by Krishna as powerful king of the Yavanas cannot be dismissed lightly, as Bagadates means ‘Given by God’ in Old Iranian. The meaning is the same for Bhagadatta also. Datta means given. Bhaga is another name for Sun. Bhagadatta is he who has been given by the Sun. Bhagadatta as a friend and vassal of Jarāsandha and as an old friend of Pandu, in good relationship with Yudhishtira can be expected to have taken back home many Vedic practices and principles. From Krishna's words, it is known that he had a special relationship with Jarāsandha.
The phonetic similarity between Jarāsandha and Zoroastrian lends credibility to the view that the religious codes followed by the followers of Jarāsandha came to be known as Zoroastrian religion or sect. Almost all the friends of Jarāsandha were in the West. Those who shared friendship with Jarāsandha but preferred to stay in the west followed the same Vedic religion of Jarāsandha, but some of them kept off from mainstream Vedic India. The isolation caused by this could have given rise to their Vedic life becoming different in due course.
The Vedic knowledge they had taken with them had become stagnant or mutated in course of time in the wake of reduced connection with mainland India after Jarāsandha was gone. That is how we have come to see some similarities between Zoroastrian Avesta and the 8th Mandala of Rig Veda. (refer Shrikant Talageri)
The 8th Mandala is unique in that the name Krishna is mentioned at quite a few verses. {This will be written in another article}. What is being highlighted here is that parts of 8th Mandala of Rig Veda was formed in Krishna’s times or a little later and people who have gone to the west of India had knowledge of it. With passing of times, parts of that knowledge had found their way into Zend Avesta.
Now continuing with other names,

Krishna says that 18 branches of Yadavas left along with him to start a new life in Dvārakā. He mentions this twice in this chapter in his conversation with Yudhishtira.
I don't understand, normally with think that asuras were the bad guys, so are you saying that people from the west were the asuras mentioned in the Vedas?
Feel prouder being a Zarathushti. Await the next session of Dr Karanjia with you. Thank you for this one. An eye opener
I'm Zoroastrian and I've thoroughly enjoyed this episode....so much of learning and information for me! I want more!!!
Hey do parsis have surename?
Mam why you haven khan sir name
@@tejasindian4208 if you think khan is muslim it is not it is pronounced as
' Kan ' by mongols meaning King or leader the title was only absorbed by muslims when the Mongols invaded the middle east
So proud to see my culture and religion being highlighted and explained through this podcast! Thank you, Ranveer for sharing it with the world. Really appreciate it!♥️🙏
Love and respect for Zorastranism from a Hindu 🙏
@@dev_peace_soul Abe they are one god worshiper
U ought to be..... A rather deformed form of your religion is what dominates in India today.
@@Womendeservebetter1 not exactly, Avesta mentions of Dyeva & Ashura what in Vedic we call Devas & Asuras!! Zoroastrianism is a henotheistic religion not monotheist.
@@darkassassin9686nope you're wrong my Lineage is Persian, we are clearly Monotheist and the Ashura topic you're talking about is because we lost our scriptures so we used Sanskrit instead Ashura simply Means demon while hindus veds alao preach Monotheism. Dveya isn't about god we have the same taglines like Abhramic faith No one is worthy of worship other than Single true' God
I don't know how to say a single word but thank you so much Ranveer Bhai. The podcast about Zoroastrianism is needed. I definitely think your podcast should be compulsory subject in schools.
Thank you 🙏🏻❤️
@@beerbiceps lovely work
I look forward to Dr. Ramiyar Karanjia coming on the show again. He has so much knowledge and can tie things together so well, showing the connections between religions, stories, etc. Wonderful!!
*I bought a book "Murder mystery of repoter" by Jaiprakash Jha. It's a wonderful book. I was surprised with the story. I will recommend all of you to read this book. Online available*🇮🇳🇮🇳
It is not because of mus lims or Arabs that Persians fell, it is because of their own tyranny and they are replaced by Arab mus lims, Sasanians were superpower of the world when our Prophet Muhammad got Prophethood and Persians were about to annex Byzantine Empire and did big damage to them, but somehow Roman Byzantine king Hercules managed to invade persepolis because all Persian soldiers were in Asia minor to enter Europe, and this is how sasanids got defeated by Romans and Persians agreed to pay for reparations... Both empires had one thing in common which is ty ranny, which was against everyone including its own people, people were fed up because of such restrictions and dic tatorship... Also it was written in the books of Zoroastrians that A Prophet would come and they have to follow him, this is the reason why most Zoroastrians accepted is lam after Arab conquest, Prophet Muhammad sent letter to invite Khusrow II to is lam but he tore the letter, he was later kil led by his own son who overthrown his government and started more ty ranny and even challenged mus lims... Then we mus lims invaded Persia and companions of Prophet conquered Persia .. one of the companion who was a commander was Salman the Persian, he told Persians that oh the people of Persia, I am among your community, these Arabs had racial supremacy and never wanted anyone else, now accepted me as a commander, if this is not a prove that we are not fighting for our own materialistic benefits but for one true God then what else is it?... They already believed in Prophet Zoroaster so they accepted new prophet i.e Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and all other prophets before him both is raelites and non is raelite prophets, small numbers of them refused to convert but still lived there
Now coming to the persecution part, it never happened during the time of First four caliphs, not even after it was conquered otherwise nobody would have accepted is lam, it likely to happened after death of 5th Caliph and 6th Caliph was Yazid the cruel under whose rule Grandson of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) hazrat Imam Hussain (ra) got martyrdom, do you know about Karbala? many companions of prophet got martyrdom under the reign of those ty rants such Yazid, and also Governor Hajjaj bin Yusuf, Parsis are likely persecuted during this period and even after that some cruels came, Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz came and stopped all blunders made by previous tyrant caliphs came after yazid, during his rule nobody was left to take charity but he himself had financial problem, this is called true leader... So bottom-line is, those who can ki ll grandson of prophets can't persecute Zoroastrians? Zoroastrians are nothing in front of imam hussain... As for Irani migration during colonial period so that was Qajar era, they used to perse cute iranis, that was a time when Sunni had no rule, A dynasty called Safavid conquered Iran from Sunnis and forced converted them into shia, so those who can force convert Sunnis and turn it into shia nation would spare Zoroastrians and let them to live freely? Even Sunnis can't live in peace in Iran
As a Hazara From Afghanistan ( real Old Iran) specially from the City Where (Zartosht) were living
BEST PODCAST SO FAR. AS A PARSI MYSELF I LEARNT WAYYY MORE THAN I EXPECTED. THANK YOU LOVE TO SEE IT AGAIN
Hi zayaan
Turn off caps.
I want to watch more episodes with this wonderful guest. This podcast has cleared so many confusions regarding hindu culture and history. BRING HIM BACK!!! TRS!!! 🙏❤
It was worth investing 1.5 hrs for knowing this friendly religion. Thankyou Ranveer, and we are waiting for more from sir.
This show was super interesting! This gentleman deserves another show with less interuptions so he can continue with his flow of thought.
Looking forward to hearing from more guests Ranveer. Kudos
I am Gujrati, Indian African born.. really can relate with this person alot. Surprisingly my aunty looks alike like him. He is so grateful 🙏
Such a wealth of knowledge! Thank you Ranveer for bringing this great soul on your show!
Exploring new religions 🔥
I always wanted to know more about Zoroarstriarnism and now I do thanks to Ranveer.
You and the people you bring in your podcasts are truly a gem🙌
Grateful 🙏🏻❤️
Ramiyar is a gem of a person...I know him personally....very very knowledgeable...
God bless you both - what a wonderful podcast with reasonable, caring and kindness tone.
Zoroastrians like me are so blessed that we have Dr Karanjia. Every Zoroastrian needs to hear his voice and educated balanced passion.
What a lovely conversation it was, so much to learn from! Dr. Ramiyar is such a knowledgeable and positive personality. Please bring him back for more such amazing conversations.
There is so much we don’t know about one of the most beautiful communities- Parsi people - they are very cultured and have a lot of self respect
Who cares
After Mohsin Sir Dr. Ramiyar has added some other level knowledge to our kitty. Thank you so much for this. If you have not done this, it would never have reached us. Thank you so so much.
Ranveer, i knew zilch about Zorastrianism and i must say this podcast was enlightening, expanding and exhilirating. Dr Ramiyar is surely an elevated soul. The ease and clarity of style of narration kept me glued to not miss a single word. My second born came out of my womb with a smile on her face- she did not cry till the nurse started smacking her. I feel truly blessed. Look forward to every episode - Hindi, English - bring it on. 🙌🙌🙌❤
Every minute was a pleasure listening to the podcast. Please bring him back for more.
All nonsense waste of time
ALL EPISODES ARE AMAZING! THIS EPISODE IS EXTREMELY OUTSTANDING. LOT OF RESPECT TO THE GUEST. MOST SOFTSPOKEN, REASONING & PERSPECTIVE GENTLEMAN. LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCH MORE INSIGHT FROM HIM (DR RAMIYAR)
I've studied in a Parsi School and it was so lovely knowing all this!! I had the same thought myself that its very similar to Krishna's story. Also, one random thought that crossed my mind during this conversation was that Globe is a little tilted, Sister Shivani says, we are at Sangam yug, which is shown like that only (5 minutes to 12). Is it that there's going to be an apocalyptic event soon and the earth will be straight and aligned again with pleasant seasons and peace throughout, the so called Satyug? Well, only time will tell!!
I had a great time hearing this one like all the others. You are a star Ranveer, take a bow!!
It's great that through your Podcast you are giving others the oppurtunity to share knowledge about Parsi Culture. Dr. Ramiyar Sir is an Encyclopedia of Zoroastrian knowledge. After listening to him I can understand how this religion is bringing positivity to whereever they exist and Sir Ratan Tata is the living example of it, God Bless him.
Yes he radiates contentment and peace. This is what our world leaders are short of
My brother we missed you
From all zarvanistiasms from Iran
My first podcast to watch completely. Long live TATA. Long live Zorastrian ❤ love from sanathana
What a great episode. As a devoted disciple of Zoroastrianism, this episode was very much enlightening. I want to suggest working on Islamic Mysticism as well like Rumi’s Mevlevi or Cheshti school of thought. They are also very rich in spirituality. Thank you very much. Mumtaz from Afghanistan.
Rumi the great poet was also a Zorastrian as his poems were written in Farsi
He wasn't Zoroanstrain what? He was an Muslim imam or Hazrat. Please stop spreading lies online@@Kamende89rs
@@Kamende89rsRumi came from Balkh where Zoroaster is supposed to have been born. However, Rumi was a Muslim. Maulana Jalal-ud-din Rumi.
WOW. just speechless at the knowledge of Dr Ramiyar. please bring him back
I am so addicted to your videos. Such a great job. Kudos.... Amazing to watch. God bless you and everyone who all are reading this. Spirituality, faith, prayers are the only solution of this dark age. Namaste🙏
This is mind opener podcast by beer biceps . Being a student of History I always remained starved of Zoroastrian history . The popular history books in India do not tell much about them .
This is super special for me .... Thanks from deep down inside .
OMG MY 2 FAVOURITE GUYS,MY GURU MR. KARANJIA and U. I LOVE READING ABOUT HIS COLUMNS IN PARSI NEWSPAPER. THANKS 4 MAKING MY DAY. 🙏🤗. Biggest fan of ur pod cast.
@BeerBiceps …
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
In Vedic times, the bark of Acacia catechu was known as somatvak and was associated with soma. The Acacia catechu tree, indigenous to South Asia… based on research I’ve done this seems to be the closest to as
Described and effects . Also still used by African shamans even today (many varieties of Acacia are used in a psychoactive and shamanic ceremony) … passing along the information my friend!
Blissings and Gratitude 🙏 🕉️🧙♂️🇨🇦🔱🐲🐉❤️🔥♒️
This is most enlightening and informative conversation 🙏
This is wonderful. I have always wanted to learn about the life and religion of Parsis. Let us have another episode with Dr Ramiyar. One gentle suggestion - let there be lesser interruptions when the Dr is speaking. It may be breaking his flow.
Thank You So Much Ranveer Allahbadia Sir & Team To Podcast with Dr. Ramiyar Sir Please Make More Podcast With Him We Proud Of Our Zoroastrians Parsies 🙏🙏❤️❤️💎💎💯💯🕉️🕉️🚩🚩🇮🇳🇮🇳
*I bought a book "Murder mystery of repoter" by Jaiprakash Jha. It's a wonderful book. I was surprised with the story. I will recommend all of you to read this book. Online available*
I have been researching this religion simply because I am curious. Just wanted to say this channel is amazing. You are a super talented interviewer Ranveer. You are polite, listen, and ask very good questions. Thanks so much! I will definitely be looking for more content on Dr. Ramiyar
Am a hindu....and my manas kanya is a Parsi girl....Gem of a person in all respect. This enlightened me on basic n ethics of Parsi Community.....
Jay Gurudev 🌹🌹🌹
Once again felt proud as a Sanatani as we don't believe in One God philosophy... The beauty of Sanatan is we can find God in Simple to simple things like land fire water air trees everything...we respect all religions....we also love all our parsi brothers and sisters.... thanks for all your contribution to this country ❤️❤️
We actually do believe in one god kinda but its more like The oneness not really one god, like the brahman of the Upanishads.
@@snipescyth7944 Krishna is The Parambrahmha
We don't believe in one God ..we beleive there's only One reality ie BRAHMAN.
WE SANATANI DO BELIVE IN ONE GOD WHO IS WORSHIPED IN MANY OF HIS FORMS WITH DIFFERENT NAMES BASED ON HIS DIFFERENT KARMA. THAT ONE GOD IN HINDUISM HAVE MULTIPLE NAMES LIKE PARAMBHRAMA, PARAMATAMA, PARMESHWAR, PRABHU IN SANSKRIT OR BHAGWAN IN HINDI.
literally, my heartbeat was pounding..the moment he was drawing a solid concrete bridge between sanatan dharm and zoroastrianism...it felt so good!! not many people agree on these things
Just wanted to add the geographical description of Aryavarta as described in Manusmiriti shloka no. 2.22. In the Vedic Yajna of Sautramani even now we use Soma Rasa. It's found in Maunjabaan hills according to Rigveda and Atharvaveda.
Yes Dr. Ramiyar has a good soothing vibe about him. Like a wise grounded elder. ❤❤
*I bought a book "Murder mystery of repoter" by Jaiprakash Jha. It's a wonderful book. I was surprised with the story. I will recommend all of you to read this book. Online available*🇮🇳🇮🇳
Please call Dr. Ramiyar sir again... He has knowledge of both parsi and hindu culture and history.... And he gives a very positive vibes.. 🙂
May he live long.. jai sri ram🙏🏻🚩😊
Thanks to India the Parsi community have a safe home, unlike the Jewish community who have been so persecuted over the centuries that they really do deserve and need a safe home in Israel, alas the Palestinians also need a safe home country. Wish all humans could live with each other in harmony celebrating our differences
Your content is never ever disappointing...they're always so enlightening and knowledge loaded...literally kept the 9th hour of the day for watching TRS podcasts lately as they're addictive in all ways...this one is gonna be equally good...thanks to Ranveer Sir 💕💕congratulations for 5 M you'll grow more...you're the best lots of love..❤️❤️
🙏🏻❤️
@@beerbiceps bhai kabse notice kar raha hu tu bas ladkiyo ko reply deta hai where is equality 🥺🤷🏻♂️
Such type of podcast also helps students. Thanks ranveer sir for bringing him. All the best. Congratulations for 5M many more millions to come .
One of the peaceful and soothing podcasts I have ever watched, Thanks for this Ranveer Bhava 🙏
Keep bringing this kind of divine experiences for us.
What a guest! Please kindly invite Dr. Ramiyar over again, I am fascinated on the similar parallels between Hinduism and Zoroastrianism, I truly learnt something new today!
You are reiterating the point that Sanathan Dharma is not about putting others beliefs and religion down because yours is different. Its a brilliant idea to bring along different religions and beliefs onto one platform.. the Ranveer show 😊. Thank you .. Yazdan Panah Baad🙌
Ranveer note Zoroastrian is connected to brahmins.Zarathustra was definitely a Kashmiri Brahman from India as he was an Atharvan[6], who called himself a zaotar[7], manthran[8] and datta.[9] He was referred to as an erishi[10] and ratu[11].[12] He also wore the sacred thread and dressed like a traditional Kashmiri Pandit, compiled Gāthās containing Vedic verses, worshiped Varuna (Ahura Mazda) and venerated other holy Vedic Asuras. He lived as an ascetic in a cave[13] for some time and also had other traits similar to that of an Indian Brahman, not to mention other customs similar to those of Kashmiri Hindus .
Zoroaster was a Hindu Kashmiri pandit
That's a folly mate.... Bhramanism didn't exist in those times
@@placeboeffect7031 Lol it exist much earlier than that .Hahah
@@placeboeffect7031 check Vedic era .There are much better historians
@@ShivamRaina-dm9df there's no substantial evidence of Vedic era yet?? Go figure mate....
@@placeboeffect7031you think all the leaf pamphlets are a joke? Centuries old manuscripts on leaves still preserved. Hinduism is the oldest surviving religion. Rest all are derived from hinduism.
This is a brilliant idea! I am looking forward to every inter-religious episode you make. Thank you.
Always grateful to be your audience and probably would be podcast guest 🙃
He is gem of a person.. happy to find him through your podcast. Hopefully you have recorded more episodes with him. Thanks
Parsis co exist with hindus as they accept the strong co existence of other religions. I respect all parsis for their phenomenal contribution to India, s growth and making india 🇮🇳 modern and develop. One and only Jamshed ji tata and dr. Homi jahangir bhabha.
At 48:50 you were discussing the Samskrt equivalent of khwarna or consciousness which is Chit or chaitanya. Purest substratum is sat chid Anand that emanates everything. It is not unique to Zoroastrainism. It's the subject and essence to Vedas in upanishads which is the vedanta
Peace from the way to the North. Norvegia(from old) or known as Norway today. To all my brothers and sisters all over the known world and further on...
Yes our distant aryan brother
8:40 "Invasion" is different and "movement of people" is different. Invasion means attack the indigenous population and rule on them. And movement means free movement. May be free movement happened.
This was such an enlightening episode! I would love to see him and learn again. So much wisdom.
Thank you Ranveer for interviewing the most knowledgeable person in Zoroastrian religion today. As a Zoroastrian myself, I think you have picked the right person for this podcast, there can be no one better than Ramiyar sir to explain the religion as is. Thank you for highlighting my religion to the world.❤
Well done. Zoroastianism is part of our culture. Especially in takshshila debates used to happen with zoroastian priests as well. Many of our vedic rishis were accepted into vedic fold from parsi priests.
But Ganga Biharies have nothing to do with Taxila or Punjab region. You guys are Dravidian
@Deira854 first if all theres a difference between modern day punjabi and ancient punjabi dna. They r not the same. Ganga region is from where alot of punjabis came from. Takshila was also their city. Lahore was setup by them. Except jatts and minor turkic components most Punjabis have ganga region ancestors but now very much mixed with defeated tribes of central asia like jatts and kushans. Thats y u see women are white and men are black. Ganga yamuna region also set up many south east Asian and south indian kingdoms. They r definitely not dravidians. As a punjabi I'm proud of my aryavarta ancestors of ganga yamuna region.
@@gravewalker34 what the hell are you talking about. The so called Aryavarta did not even include Ganga. In Rig Veda there is no mention of Ganga, only the rivers in the extreme North West. Ganga people have nothing to do with Ancient Vedic people. Those people were much closer to Iranians and Central Asians than to Ganga Indians. Thats why there were so many similarities between them and Zoroastrians
@@gravewalker34 Ganga people are mostly Dravidians, go check their dna, while Punjabies are clearly mixed with Iranians and Central Asians
@@Deira854 chup kar, chanakya, chandragupta tere baap the aur bihar se the
The podcast is fabulous!! We are really missing out in understanding more of such a classical philosophy!! Please please bring him back for more!! 👌👍❤️
more podcasts with him really needed, really a sweetest man ever on your show 😇
Would love to learn about Sikhism. Please bring a Sikh Guru as well ❤
I appreciate that Dr. Ramiyar didn't feel the need to exaggerate his experience of drinking haoma. Many other religious teachers or scholars often fictionalize their experiences regarding particular rituals or events. This whole podcast was very insightful and refreshing. I have always been intrigued by the Parsi community and Zoroastrianism in general. Unfortunately, we have a very small group of Parsis in Karachi right now; most of them have migrated for obvious reasons. Also kudos to Ranveer for always bringing in great people on his show.
Rishi Vashista is also mentioned in Zoroastrian too
Zoroaster was a Hindu Brahmin .
Check the parshu tribe migration from Rigveda.
Also our Dna R1A1 is also same no doubt we are same
Now this is just assumption
@@sahilsingh6048 no its not assumption check Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus he wrote Zoroaster was a Kashmiri brahmin born near Afghanistan and kashmir
@@sahilsingh6048 do you even know Zoroaster was not born in Iran he was born in border of Afghanistan and Kashmir.Even parsi people wore sacred thread(janeu).perform yasna ( yajna/ yagya).
Zoroastrian came out of Vedic religion( hinduism or Brahminism)
@@ShivamRaina-dm9df he was none other than Shukracharya. He represents Friday.
Soo detailed ..I'm gonna brag about my knowledge in front of my Parsi friends.Great podcast.
Can we please have more episodes with this guest. I want to Learn more about Iran and Zoroastrian and Parsi culture and history
We Indians and specifically Parsi community should preserve, propagate their community. They are real minority but never played victimhood card. They never feeled threatened in India.
Thank you Ranveer super happy to see Edvard Ramiyar Karanjia someone from our community who speaks facts
much love
Make a podcast on SIKH EMPIRE.. which was the mightiest at it’s time!! And plz make sure to do show with some sikh historian like Dr. Sukhpreet singh udooke .. else it will be like Bollywood representing sikhs
Gems were scattered generously throughout this episode.. loved it
I loved this, what a knowledgeable person sir is, and great that Ranveer invited him.
Thanks a lot and I will be Eager to listen him much.
The most laudable line that he uttered was "just because we do not agree with each other, we do not become enemies, it only means we are thinking differently." If only some religious bigots took this view, most of humankind's problems would be solved immediately.
