Attitude to the existence of nature in Zoroastrianism

In Zoroastrianism it is propagated to look at nature, the Earth, all living things, tree-plants with kindness. The first five of the universe – Earth, Fire, nature, water and air are glorified. In the doctrine of Zoroastrianism, it is necessary to carry out bloodshed in vain, condemning the attacks of sacrifices, military clashes, invasions, calling for a sedentary, peaceful life, labor, farming, livestock, especially setting up a snake, keeping the water sacred Zoroastrianismwere skillful entrepreneurs, gardeners and peasants, who were engaged in the preparation and sale of may for a long time: dayri Mugan, piri Mugan, etc.[1]

According to the doctrine of Zarathustra, the sun's rays provide for the life of the world of animal life. If we pay attention to the passage from the ”alkov to The Sun “part of Avesto:

One of them. We worship the sun,

His immortal lent.....

Two. When the sun hits the balk

The land that gave Mazda,

Running water then,

The waters of the spring,

All the freaks live.

There will be no life without solar inspection, each plant will have a solar cell in each creature, it will be noted in the doctrine of Zoroastrianism. Even in the teaching of Zarathustra, we come across a very close idea of the idea that” there is a particle of Allah in every being". And this beauty meant that the pieces of nature with humanity could progress in harmony. In Zoroastrianism the man who opened the guarded land and turned it into a garden three to the mercy, on the contrary, those who broke Gardens, crops, irrigation facilities remain to Great Sin[2].

In many Avesto's castles, interesting ideas were said about the preservation of gardens in nature, the useful and useless world of plants and animals, the preservation of the rays of water, the condition for the sanctification of water, the preservation of the purity of soil, fire and others. Through Zaratushtra, people became more widely aware of the interconnectedness of the existence of nature, their connection with the external environment. Members of the tribe worshiped all the blessings of nature, honored them, understood that it was possible to burn them only after drying the trees. Both breaking a branch of a tree and throwing an unclean pitcher into a pond, 25 was punished by whipping.

It was reported at Avesto that children were obliged to plant tree seedlings from a young age. He who violated the rules of preserving the earth, water, air, fire, was sentenced to 400 lashes. As the most important environmental requirement in Avesto is a violation of one type of natural object, the condition for filling a second type of natural object is taken as a norm. Killing a dog is considered a grave sin. For example, a person who has polluted the water or killed a hunting dog should have washed his sin by killing 10000 spiritually refreshing plant leaves, 1000 goats, 1000 Water Beetles, a disease spreader Pasha. In "Vandidod" are detailed punishments, fine procedures applied to those who crops, delivered Azores to tame animals, hunting and shepherd dog, intentionally or unintentionally killed them.

In the book ”Vandidod " Ahura Mazda said that the number of Oaths is six. All these six oaths included a rational attitude to nature. Ahura Mazda answered:

My vows are six;

• -    first-word revenge;

• -    second-hand revenge;

• -    third-sheep's revenge;

• -    fourth - cow's revenge;

• -    fifth-man revenge;

• -    sixth - crop revenge: the best, the most prosperous, the most fertile crop on the ground.[3]

It can be seen that in almost all oaths there was a manifestation of nature, natural purity, rational attitude to the environment, the buds of ecological culture. In revenge, they are called upon to destroy animals and insects that infect nature and the environment, spreading various diseases. Great attention has been paid to the cleanliness of the environment and the personal cleanliness of each person, regardless of their size, male or female. This is what the Orientalist scientist Fazila Suleymova wrote:”Every Zarathustra had to be washed five times a day, purified, and worshiped with applause."[4]

As you read the essays, you will be sure that the foundations of ecological culture were formed at that time wisely: the God Savonhi, the patroness of animals, the God Fshova-Frodat, the patroness of tiny animals. Plant juice, omitted with milk, which gives man strength, cheerfulness and vivacity, about Haoma, Zaotra, about which “Obon yasht”, that is, “revenge of the waters”, is sacred to the existence of nature, and thoughts about preservation motivate man to love nature more.

Maturity, perfection is not something inhuman, neither for Zardusht, nor for Islam. "Man, “the so - called” Avesto," is inclined to the grace of God or his helper, as long as he labored enthusiastically in the affairs of farming and irrigation, as long as he had a destiny that helped the livestock to multiply, the flowering... the one who sows the grain sows the seeds of piety. He will push forward his sincerity to Mazda, he will feed the faith."[5] for this reason, the academic. It is not surprising that Oldenburg wrote about this as “a rational religion aimed at easing a person's life on earth, making him happy.” Prepare juices from the leaves of plants, fruits, feathers, roots, through the processing with the addition of milk to some juices prepared strong, health-restoring drinks. Some juices are prepared with the addition of milk, others with the addition of water. There is a life force in the water, knowing that the life force must be enriched with plant juices.

In the treatment of patients, our ancestors used folk medicine very competently. According to the Orientalist scientist Bahrami, the list of over a thousand medicinal plants, herbs is presented in Avesto.

The most striking thing is that the ways of taking and preparing drugs from them are indicated. Drugs are often made from cocaine and plants such as glaze, leaves, flowers, cereals, Bush and root juice of cocaine, saffron, koski, sesame, poppy, hazorisband, cumin, onion, olive oil, cumin, resin, nayshakar, radish, dates, carrots, quince, honey, savsan, cumin, leaves, Hawthorn, Hawthorn. "White Hum" was considered the king of all medicinal herbs.

As a result of the analysis of sources about Zoroastrianism, it is possible to draw the following internal conclusions:

One of them. Observing the integrity of the existence of nature in Zoroastrianism, it was necessary to preserve it in its uniqueness; the Zoroastrianism respected the water even more than the flame. In their opinion, the six substances that surround the Earth (the first water of the six goddesses-Apam-Napat).

Two. Both the existence of a non-living nature and the existence of a living nature are equally avowed. There was a one-day reverent attitude to the great and small of the world of animals and plants; “Haparasi” – a constantly growing spruce is a blessing as an incense of God. As "Namad" is always meant a green shrub, clean twigs.

The three. The killing and even consumption of some animals is considered a sin, and their population number (amount) was preserved in their time.

The four. Useful medicinal properties of representatives of more than a thousand plants are illuminated. Only one plant:

• a)    prepared a variety of juices and special drinks;

• b)    prepared a variety of medicines, ointments;

• c)    in surgery, they added Hum and cannabis juice to the wine and used it to anesthetize the patient.

The five. One of the main problems was the preservation of both the existence of nature and the blessings of nature in its composition. The religion of Zoroastrianism the Earth is sacred, everything that has died is forbidden, it can not be buried in the Earth, so as not to pollute the Holy Land, the dead are separated from the flesh of the bone, put it on the threshold and buried in the Earth. (Until now, the Zardusht in India take out the dead to the Dahma-minaret, when the Crow and grifts eat, they bury the bones).

The six. The one who is going to work on the Earth, First of all he himself was purified, first of all he had to start working on the Earth in clean clothes, he was obliged to be aware of the science of the Earth. When a person with a deep knowledge of the earth, with clean clothes, is treated to the Earth, “... in this land there will be tranquility, fertility and fertility of herbs, and the harvest will be dark."[7] secondly, only Pure Earth is allowed to plant seeds.

The seven. In the same "Avesto" one can notice that the first environmental law is strictly set to comply with the norms. Persons who have polluted the environment, puddles, bushes, Meadows, the Earth and have violated the rules of its preservation are sentenced to 400 whips. The owner of the apartment, who put the garbage in front of the house door, or someone who sweeps the street and does not take the garbage in time, is punished with 25 whip strokes. A person who received water from a dirty pitcher or bucket from a pool and vodka was sentenced to 5 whip strokes. On the banks of the ditch and the river the cattle were not allowed to feed, tie horses, large fines were imposed on those who contaminated the well and the pool water.

Eight. The most interesting thing is that those who violated any part of the rules of etiquette were punished only by cleaning the environment, beautifying it, laying bridges, multiplying animals. For example, it was possible for adulterers to wash their sins by putting a bridge on 14.
