One of the symbols of Zoroastrianism, The Faravahar or Frawahr
Zoroaster or Zarathushtra , also referred to as Zartosht, was an ancient Iranian prophet and religious poet. The Gathas, which are the hymns attributed to him, are at the liturgical core of Zoroastrianism.
Zoroaster as perceived by his followers
In his revelation, the prophet saw the universe as the cosmic struggle between aša which is “truth” and druj which is “lie.” The concept of aša which is only vaguely translatable – is said to be at the foundation of all other Zoroastrian doctrine, including that of Ahura Mazda (who is aša), creation (that is aša), existence (that is aša) and Free Will. This is said to be Zoroaster’s greatest contribution to religious philosophy.
The purpose of humankind, like that of all other creation, is to sustain aša, the truth through active participation in life and the exercise of good thoughts, words and deeds.

it is interesting to note the common threads that links all the major theologies and philosophies of the world. we are all looking for, regardless of creed or caste, the ultimate truth, only difference is the every belief system has a different interpretation of how to achieve that.
