Zoroastrianism is the one of the oldest of the world’s religions. Zarathustra, its founder, was a prophet who spoke to his God face-to-face. Zarathustra lived in a nonliterate society, whose people did not keep records. His teachings were passed down by oral tradition, and much of what was later written down about his life and teachings has been lost or destroyed. What scholars have been able to piece together about him comes from three sources: the study of the historical milieu prior to and during the time Zarathustra is believed to have lived, tradition, and seventeen sacred hymns called Gathas. Scholars concur that Zarathustra composed these hymns. The Gathas are recorded in the Avesta, the sacred scriptures of Zoroastrianism.  
O Zoroastrismo é uma das religiões mais antigas do mundo. Zaratustra,
o seu fundador, foi um profeta que conversava diretamente com Deus. Ele viveu em uma sociedade inculta, que nada registrava. Os seus ensinamentos foram transmitidos oralmente e muito do que foi escrito mais tarde sobre a sua vida e os seus ensinamentos perdeu-se ou foi destruído. O material que os estudiosos conseguiram reunir sobre o Iniciado proveio de três fontes: o estudo do meio social, antes da época e na época em que se acredita que ele tenha vivido; a tradição e os ''Gathas'', dezessete hinos sagrados supostamente compostos por ele. Os Gathas estão registrados no Avesta, as escrituras sagradas do Zoroastrismo.  


It is believed that Zarathustra was born in what is now east central Iran, but that is not certain. Zarathustra’s date of birth is even more difficult to establish. Scholars place it sometime between 1700 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. and 600 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. The consensus is that he lived around 1000 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. or earlier. The Gathas say that Zarathustra was of the Spitama family, a family of knights. The Greek name for Zarathustra is Zoroaster, meaning “Golden Star,” or “Golden Light.” He was one of the priest class who formulated mantras.
