I am lucky to know Arman personally; every time I talk to him I learn something new about spirituality, languages, and humanity and it is always a pleasure talking to him.
I’m a friend of Arman’s and a Zoroastrian. I can answer the 21 book question. Whoever had told you that mixed up some quotes about ancient Zoroastrian scripture. There was apparently a large amount of destruction of Zoroastrian literature by Alexander. They accuse him of stealing the philosophical and medical sections and destroying the rests. However, the 21 books (of 1016 chapters for each like of the Gathas) were what survived afterwards. The oppression by Islam is what caused those 21 books to slowly disappear. Now we have roughly 2-3 books in fragments recompiled, and one whole book. We also have roughly 130 chapters depending on how one counts, so about 15% of the original after Alexander. Surprisingly, we a have very good summaries of those missing books, just not the books themselves.
Hi. I am (Reformed/Modernist) Zoroastrian, faith connected to my roots & me glad about this. I know A. figure, A.A. but I cannot understand every word of interview, American accent is so hard to me... Please give the subtitles or anyway an abstract of full sense of full video.
I love really this man like if similar father-figure, even if we are not the exact-persons (ex. I care few about fashion); his feeling like mine... Modern religious feeling. Agar Khoda (Mazda) Bekhahad, inshallah, in next future I'll save a screenshot of this video in my 🙂-📘 profile near the Zoroastrianism-Judaism book, loved by many persons and I'll ask others to save in own social network accounts this interview & that book both, also more books, showing our culture by all ones hate us for nothing... Many times I was felt like the evil for loving and liking the religious-🔥 when It is also in Churches and Synagogues... 🕯️🕎 (🔥🔥).
Like not written... I opened the video extra app. and I saw the subtitles when in app. they were not avaible (to me, maybe to others too). Best Regards.
