Zoroaster, Zarathustra, Zarathushtra Spitama or Ashu Zarathushtra was an ancient Iranian spiritual leader who initiate Zoroastrianism. His teachings challenged the existing traditions of the Indo-Iranian religion and inaugurated a movement that eventually became the dominant religion in Ancient Persia. He was a native speaker of Old Avestan and lived in the eastern part of the Iranian Plateau, but his exact birthplace is uncertain. The exact time of Zoroaster’s life is not known. Traditional writings suggest that he lived “258 years before Alexander” or “5000 years before Xerxes”. Zoroaster believed that man is a free being and has authority in his decisions; He can choose to stand among the forces of light or to be among the forces of darkness.
