I am proud to be a parsi from Mumbai ( Maharashtra) 🚩🙏

The contribution of Parsi community in India is incredible .Great respect for Parsi community.

Islam is reason why parsis are declined 🙏😭 lots of respect to our parsi brothers ♥️

Tribute to our Parsi brothers and sisters from Hindus🕉🤗

I am a proud Parsi Hindu Brahmin. My parents are Hindu and Parsi and we believe in and follow both religions!! Jai Hind. Vande Mataram 🙏 😍🥰🙏

I am from Iran and I love Indian people ♥️🌹🇮🇳

As a Indian I have huge respect on Zoroastrian.Sister religion of vedic religion 👏

Very interesting. that was Vasudev Kutumba 12000 years back. He is connecting their Puranas to History very nicely, unlike in our country making fun of Puranas.

Old Avestan is quite similar to Sanskrit . There are many many words that are common. The Parsi shlok अशेम् वहू वहिष्टेम अस्ति . अस्ति in Sanskrit means IS and has same meaning in Avesta. Both religions consider fire as sacred. Kusti is similar to जनेऊ of Hindu religion. Lot of examples can be given of similarities. I love our parsee brothers .

Slavic and Baltic languages are even closer to Avestan/Sanskrit than Germanic or Latin languages do. Many of these great words are almost identical.

Yugadi is also celebrated in March April month . Yugadi means starting of Tretayuga as well as spring season.

Parsis are given Soo much to this country 🙏🙏🙏🙏 we respect them 🙏🙏

I was always curious about this religion. Thanks for making this podcast

I am really thankful and grateful to all my Parsi Brothers and Sisters for giving so much and making India properous since Their arrival ...

Iranians are the Asuras of the Vedas. They were outcasted during the battle of ten kings (dasarajna). Asura is pronounced as Ahura in Avesta. Originally they also belonged to the Arya varta

Kashyap had both devas through aditi and asuras through diti as his sons, the Caspian sea area

Very proud and humbled to know my ancestors were such amazing people. Thank you for this video and your explanations.

Greetings, a rare and valuable association with a learned elder of us, meaning of all humans. Great knowledge. The opening sentence of the host will live forever as it is a FACT. Always seeking more and more from your channel. Godspeed ❤️❤️

My God, So much information this gentleman has. I am thinking who will Paris keep passing this information across generations further. Zoroastrianism is losing its practices with more called secularism. Please save Zoroastrianism

A lot of Indians don't even know that AIT(Aryan invasion Theory) is already outdated and Majority of global academia agrees upon the Migration of Indo-Aryans i.e. IAMT(Indo-Aryan Migration Theory) into Indian Subcontinent. Later they assimilated into other people groups Like Dravidian, Austro Asiatic and even the Mongoloids. Avestan and Sanskrit were originally almost like Dialects of a single language Known as Proto Indo-Iranian which later Branched into Indo-Aryan and Iranian subgroups about 2000-1500 BCE.

The teacher is clear & comfortable. Content is essential knowledge.

Respect to all parsis 🙏🏻🇮🇳😄

Very good historical information is provided about Persia and India.

The oldest indian epic dasarajna (battle of ten kings) have mention of a clan called - Parshu. They were so called because they used to fight battle with 'parshu' which means axe and they used to worship fire. Let us know that part of the history. It then means that parsis are the oldest community of India.

Parsis have contributed a lot for the upliftment of India. They have kept their tradition alive inspite a lots of Injustice on them in Iran. I pay my gratitude to such great and loving people🙏💐

I think Abhijit chavda gave a pretty straight forward and brilliant answer to this question. Parsis are ethnic Iranians and ancient north Indian Hindus were the same ethnicity.

The founder of Zoroastrianism was Zarathustra who had a Vedic name zaratha usthara or golden camel his parents too had Vedic name Pourushaspa and Dughdova which means male horse and milkmaid. The central belief revolves round Ahura Mazda which in Sanskrit means Asura Medha or a brilliant asura. As per Rigveda the Aryavarta has boundary upto river Kubha or Kabul river towards west and Gujarat towards south with Punjab, Sindh, Haryana and Rajasthan. We called it as Sapta Sindhu and old Avestan or Persian towards other side of Kubha called it Hafta Hindu which is where we got our name.

Well, I usually don't do comment on any yt video or podcast, but this time I am compelled to put down that your choice of bringing scholars to your podcasts is undoubtedly entertaining and pretty informative as far as the genesis of religion is concerned.. Bringing Prof. Mohsin Raza Khan on your podcast after Abhijit Chavda sir's podcast on Ariyan theory and now this Parsi scholar Dr. Ramiyar Karanjia is extremely worthwhile to understand the history of religion and quite thrilling as well as productive.. Thank you so much Ranveer..🙏🏼 Looking forward to see some Scholars from Roman, Greek and Norse mythology on your podcast.. 🔥

On 21st march I was in Delhi, visited Lodi garden and saw many foreigners in huge numbers. Later did I realise it was Parsis new year celebration day

Ranveer, you are simply an awesome person

im hearing my ancestors history and makes me emotional ...love you from iran

Thank you for bringing on an actual Zoroastrian scholar. Not the pseudo-academic Abhijit Chavda who seems to have a vendetta against Parsis

Thank you Ranveer... All your content is really helpful

Hey ranveer can you please invite Swami sarvapriyananda ji from Ramkrishna math...

Please and please... Make more podcasts / shows on this particular topic .

Please post the complete conversation. It was just getting interesting & informative when you closed it Ranbeer !

The only thing I knew about Zoroastrian was Ratan Tata sir. I didn't knew they also have some similar story as nooh (A.S).

Zoroaster was a Kashmiri brahmin check Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus .He was born present day Afghanistan and Kashmir border

Jai Shree Ram 🚩

Om Bageshwaraya Namaha 🙏

May zorastrian religion flourish again in Iran back

Thank you so very much... Ranvir ji ❤️❤️🙏🏻

Contribution of Parsis to India is far more than the size of community Parsis are known for their philanthropic activities, the likes of Tatas are rare in the country They make us proud, there are military leader like Sam Manekshaw, who led the Indian Army in Operations in Bangladesh , resulting in surrender of of Over 93000 Pakistani soldiers in a short war of less than a month and capture of Dacca and creation of new state of Bangladesh! L Of

Wonderful similarity between Sanskrit& Avesta languages. Plz explore more about Zoroastrian religion. Worship of fire in both religions need to b spoken about too . Great job👍

How tragic it is for all of us that the Parsi community is dwindling.

Zoroastrian migrated after 10 king war and changed the role devta and danav. Danav become devta in Zoroastrian.

Very nice interview. Never knew this inside story of Gandhi ji’s assassination incident. Public deserves to know the complete truth . Author did lots of hard work and good research

India is safest country for all religion

Many such fantastic pluralistic god concepts existed before the advent of organised proselytising religions , as the only continuing ancient civilisation India has a responsibility to revive such concepts for a better world, for example a Zoroastrian Iran is better for the world than the present disposition

I am hindu but i love the parsi community their people ❤

I am an American Persian and I just learned a lot from both the video and the comments. Shout out to my Parsi brothers and lots of love ❤️ to Indians for protecting my brothers and sisters for so long.

Got to know new things from respected Parsi Guest. Dhanyawaad .

So happy to see Edvard Ramiyar KaranjiyaJi on the TRS .

2.22. But (the tract) between those two mountains (just mentioned), which (extends) as far as the eastern and the western oceans, the wise call Aryavarta (the country of the Aryans). 2.39. After those (periods men of) these three (castes) who have not received the sacrament at the proper time, become Vratyas (outcasts), excluded from the Savitri (initiation) and despised by the Aryans. 2.103. But he who does not (worship) standing in the morning, nor sitting in the evening, shall be excluded, just like a Sudra, from all the duties and rights of an Aryan 2.165. An Aryan must study the whole Veda together with the Rahasyas, performing at the same time various kinds of austerities and the vows prescribed by the rules (of the Veda). 2.169. According to the injunction of the revealed texts the first birth of an Aryan is from (his natural) mother, the second (happens) on the tying of the girdle of Munga grass, and the third on the initiation to (the performance of) a (Srauta) sacrifice. YathA imAm vAcham kalyAnim AvadAni janebhyah (1) BrahmarAjanyAbhyAm sudrAya cha AryAya cha (2) SwAya cha aranAya cha (3) ............ May i speak the sacred word to the masses of the people (janebhya) (1) to the brahmana, kshatriya, to the sudra and the Arya (2) and to our own men and the strangers. Shukla Yajur Veda 26.2 Priyam mam krinu deveshu piyam rAjashu mA krinu piyam sarvasya pashyat uta sudra utArye. ............. Make me dear to everyone (to Gods, Kshatriyas etc) and both to sudra and an AryA. Atharva Veda 19.62.1 In these mantras the word Arya simply means a noble one. Also note that, in the first mantra Brahmin, Kshatriya and Arya are all mentioned separately. So, it implies that it is not necessary for an Arya to belong to a particular caste (varna) like Brahmin or Kshatriya. The term Arya was first rendered into a modern European language in 1771 as Aryens by French Indologist Abraham-Hyacinthe Anquetil-Duperron, who rightly compared the Greek arioi with the Avestan airya and the country name Iran. A German translation of Anquetil-Duperron's work led to the introduction of the term Arier in 1776.[18] The Sanskrit word ā́rya is rendered as 'noble' in William Jones' 1794 translation of the Indian Laws of Manu,[18] and the English Aryan (originally spelt Arian) appeared a few decades later, first as an adjective in 1839, then as a noun in 1851.[19] Indo-IranianEdit The Sanskrit word ā́rya (आर्य) was originally an ethnocultural term designating those who spoke Vedic Sanskrit and adhered to Vedic cultural norms (including religious rituals and poetry), in contrast to an outsider, or an-ā́rya ('non-Arya').[20][4] By the time of the Buddha (5th-4th century BCE), it took the meaning of 'noble'.[21] In Old Iranian languages, the Avestan term airya (Old Persian ariya) was likewise used as an ethnocultural self-designation by ancient Iranian peoples, in contrast to an an-airya ('non-Arya'). It designated those who belonged to the 'Aryan' (Iranian) ethnic stock, spoke the language and followed the religion of the 'Aryas'.[5][6] These two terms derive from the reconstructed Proto-Indo-Iranian stem *arya- or *āryo-,[22] which was probably the name used by the prehistoric Indo-Iranian peoples to designate themselves as an ethnocultural group.[2][23][24] The term did not have any racial connotation, which only emerged later in the works of 19th-century Western writers.[9][10][25] According to David W. Anthony, "the Rigveda and Avesta agreed that the essence of their shared parental Indo-Iranian identity was linguistic and ritual, not racial. If a person sacrificed to the right gods in the right way using the correct forms of the traditional hymns and poems, that person was an Aryan."[25]

Simply amazing ....so much to learn.

Now I want to and need to know more about this

Nice... A good video.. .. Now I know why my friend who married a parsi is still not accepted... It's a 12000 years blood feud..😂 Schism .. I loved the demeanour of the parsi scholar. He is a learned man

Parsi people is heart in India . Sir. Ratan Tata great family.

Tthis is a subject of my interest & I have many dear Parsi frieds. Thks for sharing

Just because their ancient language and Sanskrit are similar, need not necessarily mean that there was one common mother language. It might as well mean that their language is a distorted Sanskrit right?

I really love this religion ❤❤

Zoroastrians and Jews, this is how the minorities should be in any country. They never tried to conver a single local Indian despite their reducing population. Be proud dear Parsis and Jews in India. Note :- I'm not counting Jains in Minority.

Eagerly waiting for next episode

I love that you brought up the Deva - Asura inversion. Until now, it seemed I was the only one that noticed it.

Peaceful religion will never let the peace to prevail! What an irony...

Parsis are a great community, their contribution to this country is unparalleled.

Respect to all parsi bro nd sis❤Everything is right we exist nd we have a history but fact is we gonna die too soon or later , question is what are the teachings what is answer abt life and death , where nd why we came from nd where nd why we r going, indeed it's a theology but no discussion on basic query

Respect & Love to Parsis 🙏

The Russian Zoroastrian movement identifies Arkaim as the place where Zoroaster was born. Arkaim is designated as a "national and spiritual shrine" of Russia and has become a holy site for Rodnover, Zoroastrian and other religious movements.

Vara means circular shape thing in Telugu like a cylinder with open top & bottom , usually joined together to construct tanks & wells , is that the same in Farsi

In this he's telling that Hindus are a section of Parsis who emigrated eastwards. And both Parsis and Hindus are geographical terms with Islam as the common paternal faith. As Allah says in the Holy Qur'an - Mankind was one community.

Peaceful coexistence but quite different in fact opposite to hinduism. Ahura Mazda , they wirship Asura (Ahura)

Happy norooz to all zoroastein in India and worldwide

🇧🇩🇧🇩🇳🇪🇳🇪Hi Ranveer.. I came here to watch this video from your last AC podcast, where you mentioned this particular podcast. As a hindu I knew almost nothing about Zoroastrianism so thanks for bringing him to your show but I think you from the beginning made him equalize his religion with hinduism. From my perspective you should have given him an open hand to start about his religion then this episode would be a milestone for the internet to know about Zoroastrianism. Otherwise always love... from Bangladesh.

Very interesting and impressive talk

Ranveer Zoroaster was born in present day Afghanistan and Kashmir border checkRoman historian Ammianus Marcellinus wrote Zoroaster was a Kashmiri brahmin . "S "TO "H "PRONOUNCIATION Soma become hoama Asura become Ahura Saptah become hepta or hafta then hept in greek Even both parsis and Brahmins wear sacred thread

Nice short one. While I understand that the Gentleman is a historian, he should properly keep himself updated. History is dynamic, changes as more discoveries happen. His opinion on AIT will change of he reads about recent discoveries and how almost all historians have rejected AIT as hypothetical.

This was such a great informative video! Thanks!

Thanks WOW

Sanskrit (and not PIE, Proto Indo-European language) is the mother or the source of Latin, Greek, Avestan and all other Indo-European languages. PIE is just a pie in the sky - an attempt to demote Sanskrit from being the source language.

The battle of the 10 kings is where it all began for Zoroastrianism. But even after living among Hindus for so many hundreds of years the Zoroastrians want to live by the nutty aryan invasion theory- this is quite concerning. Bty the poles have been mentioned in the Ramayana and if I’m not mistaken I even in the vedas etc.

Proud to be a hindu (sanatani) whose root is beneath of so profound what made not only a dialect that is still being celebrated and brought in to be revered also kindred and influenced another creed which is really share closeness with us.

Really interesting!

​​@ICON69 Parsis gave asylum to 4000 muslims in Persia, rest is history. Same is true with Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Next Kerala and Bengal.

God damit Ranveer bring Mr.Srikanth Talagiri on the show already, he by far the most logical and unbiased scholar in this topic

Some where read that lord krishna asked his son samba in order to get rid of the curse, he has to build a sun temple which is should be inaugurated by mahabrahmana who wears "yengopavith" in weist . Which is the practise of zorastians .

Vedic Brahmin, Parsi and European share the same genes hence we are all similar with some variations ofcourse variation will occur. Even Sikhs who became Sikhs they were from the aryan race itself. Hence CAA is required . Sanatani and Parsi and sikh and Christian should be bought in India.

Zoroastrians know the truth- they did ghar wapasi but of course the Brit’s ensured that they select supremacy over the Truth

Many great deluges happened. One being the sinking of dwarka

Hay Ranveer. Just picking up from the discussion that happened about the language at the start of this video..... May be you can try and get someone like Bahador Alast on your channel. Hello would surely have some great stories about different world languages and their similarities.

I don't know why people are considering ahura as asura?

Some people may accuse me of Islamophobia for saying this, but this is true, the people who cleverly occupied the Persian country and persecuted the Parsis and chased them away from there were Islamic people. After that the Parsis sought refuge from the Indian kings, then the Indian kings made them citizens of India, this is the culture of India,☺️ And this is also true that the Parsis have suffered a lot🥺🥺 Har Har Mahadev🙏🙏🙏🙏

Bro sometimes I feel Ranbir is too nice but I got appreciation for him. God bless you bro

Lovely❤

J sai deepak please......one full podcast

The ignorance of Zoroastrians or their inability to understand the sanatana dharma is the problem. Sanatana dharma means the eternal laws isn’t it.

The language in rig ved is chandasa....and zorasternism is zand avesta....so similar... clearly telling the root....

Given a lot to this country. Jai Hind.

This interviewer is not interviewer but an intervener. He disrupts the flow of the speaker too often.

Doesn't the part of King Jamshed, coincide with the findings in gobeklitepe or catal hoyuk , the settlement on rooftops as he mentioned? Both of which are rather mysterious sites.
