Srimad Bhagavatam
Srimad Bhagavata Purana_The ripened fruit of all Vedas
In the great Naimasharaya forest, in the assembly of the exalted rishis headed by Rishi Śaunaka, the perfect one – Śrī Sūta Gosvāmi recited to them – the Bhāgavat Purāna as sung by Śrī Sukadeva Goswami to Maharaj Parikshit on the banks of Ma Ganga near Hastinapur, amidst the greatest confluence of enlightened sages from all over the universe. Śrī Sukadeva, a self-realized perfect soul – an Avadhuta, narrated the greatest of purana when only 16 years old, but more learned than all the realized rishis present. Śrī Sukadeva studied the Bhāgavatam through upanishad from his father, compiler of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam – Bhagvān Veda Vyāsadeva (Bādarayana), Lord’s avataar.
Sukadev Goswami narrates Bhagavatam at the end of Dwaparayuga
idaṁ bhāgavataṁ nāma
purāṇaṁ brahma-sammitam
adhītavān dvāparādau
pitur dvaipāyanād aham
“At the end of the Dvāpara-yuga, I studied this great supplement of Vedic literature named Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, which is equal to all the Vedas, from my father, Śrīla Dvaipāyana Vyāsadeva.”
~ Śrī Sukadeva Goswami, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (2.1.8)
Suta Goswami narrates Bhagavatam at Naimasharanya headed by Sunaka Rishi
idaṁ bhāgavataṁ nāma
purāṇaṁ brahma-sammitam
uttama-śloka-caritaṁ
cakāra bhagavān ṛṣiḥ
niḥśreyasāya lokasya
dhanyaṁ svasty-ayanaṁ mahat
This (idaṁ) scripture (purāṇaṁ) named (nāma) Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (bhāgavataṁ ) is the literary incarnation (brahma-sammitam) of God (uttama-śloka-caritaṁ), and it is compiled (cakāra) by Śrīla Vyāsadeva (ṛṣiḥ), the incarnation of God (bhagavān). It is meant for the ultimate good (niḥśreyasāya) of all people (lokasya), and it is all-successful (dhanyaṁ), all-blissful (svasty-ayanaṁ) and all-perfect (mahat).
~ Sūta Gosvāmi in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (1.3.40)
As God is all light, all bliss and all perfection, so also is Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. One can derive from its study all benefits that are possible to be derived from the personal presence of the Lord. It carries with it all the transcendental blessings of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa that we can expect from His personal contact. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam should be worshiped as respectfully as we worship the Lord.
Spotless, Unlimited, Lord Krsna’s Representative!
Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has declared that Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the spotless (amalam) representation of all Vedic knowledge and history. What can be said more about this maha-purana? It is directly the Lord Himself – Krishna, Uttama-śloka in His absolute literary incarnation.
Mahaprabhu while giving confidential instructions to Sanatana Goswami says – “Just try to understand the real nature of Srimad-Bhagavatam. It is the sound representation of the Supreme Lord Krishna; therefore Srimad-Bhagavatam is not different from Krishna. Krishna is unlimited,

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Introduction To Zoroastrianism (By Dr Zakir Naik)
1. Introduction to Zoroastrianism
By Dr Zakir Naik
Zoroastrianism is an ancient Aryan religion that originated in Persia more than 2500 years ago. Though it has
relatively few adherents, less than one hundred and thirty thousand in the whole world, it is one of the oldest
religions. Zoroaster was the founder of Zoroastrianism, also commonly known as Parsi-ism. It is also known as
the religion of fire worshippers and Magianism.
Parsi Scriptures consist of Dasatir and Vesta or Zend-Avesta. Dasatir is further divided into two parts: Khurda
Dasatir and Kalan Dasatir.
Avesta is further divided into Khurda Avesta and Kalan Avesta also known as Zend or Maha-Zend.
The religious scriptures of the Parsis are found in two languages: Pahlawi (Pahlawi script resembles the present
Persian script) and Zendi. Besides these two scripts, some religious literature is found in cuneiform writing.
Some Parsis consider the Zend Avesta to be more authentic than the Dasatir while the others consider Dasatir
to be more authentic.
Zend Avesta is divided into three parts:
The first part contains Vendid.
The second part contains Sirozahs, Yashts and Nyays.
The third part contains Gathas, Yasha, Visparad, Afrinagan Gahs and miscellaneous.
DASATIR:
Dasatir means a book of ten parts: ‘Das’ meaning 'ten' and ‘tir’ meaning ‘a part’. Dasatir is also the plural of
Dastur, which means law or religious code.
2. DA'WAH TO ZOROASTRIANS (PARSIS)
CONCEPT OF GOD IN ZOROASTRIANISM:
God in Zoroastrianism is known as ‘Ahura Mazda’. ‘Ahura’ means ‘the Lord’ or 'The
Master' and ‘Mazda’ means ‘the Wise’; hence ‘Ahura Mazda’ means ‘the Wise Lord’
or ‘the Wise God’. Ahura Mazda stands for God, in a strictly monotheistic sense.
Qualities of God according to the Dasatir:
According to the Dasatir, Ahura Mazda has the following qualities:
• He is One.
• He is without an origin or end.
• He has no father or mother, wife or son.
• He is without a body or form.
• Nothing resembles Him.
• Neither the eye can behold Him, nor the power of thinking can conceive him.
• He is above all that you can imagine.
• He is nearer to you than your own self.
Qualities of God according to Avesta
According to the Avesta, the Gathas and the Yasna give various characteristics to Ahura Mazda suc
as:
Creator Yasna 31:7 & 11
Yasna 44:7
Yasna 50:11
Yasna 51:7
Most the Greatest
Mighty Yasna 33:11
Yasna 45:6
Beneficent Hudai.
Yasna 33:11
Yasna 48:3
Bountiful Spenta;
Yasna
43:4,5,7,9,11,13,15
Yasna 44:2
Yasna 45:5
Yasna 46:9
Yasna 48:3
3. Thus, in Zoroastrianism too, we find a concept of an eternal, omnipotent God. Several verses of Yasna pra
the Lord as a Bountiful Creator.
MUHAMMED (PBUH) IN THE PARSI SCRIPTURES
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in Zend Avesta
It is mentioned in Zend Avesta Farvardin Yasht chapter 28
verse 129
(Sacred Books of the East, volume 23, Zend Avesta Part II
pg. 220):
"Whose name will be the Victorious, Soeshyant and whose
name will be Astvat-ereta. He will be Soeshyant (The
Beneficent one) because he will benefit the whole bodily
world. He will be Astvat-ereta (he who makes the people,
bodily creatures rise up) because as a bodily creature and as a
living being he will stand against the destruction of the bodily
(being) creatures to withstand the drug of the two footed brood,
to withstand the evil done by the faithful (idolaters and the like
and the errors of the Mazdaynians)".
This Prophecy applies to no other person more perfectly than it
does to Muhammad (pbuh):
The Prophet was not only victorious at Fatah Makkah but was
also merciful when he let go the blood thirsty opponents by
saying:
"There shall be no reproof against you this day".
Soeshyant means the ‘praised one’ (refer Haisting’s Encyclopedia), which translated
in Arabic means Muhammad (pbuh).
Astvat-ereta is derived from the root word Astu which in Sanskrit as well as in Zend
means ‘to praise’. The infinitive Sitaudan in present day Persian means praising. It
can also be derived from the Persian root word istadan which would mean ‘one who
makes a thing rise up’. Therefore Astvat-ereta means the one who praised, which is
the exact translation of the Arabic word 'Ahmed' which is another name for Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh). The Prophecy clearly mentions both the names of the Prophet i.e.
Muhammad (pbuh) and Ahmed (pbuh).
4. The Prophecy further says that he will benefit the whole bodily world and the Qur’an
testifies this in Surah Al-Anbiya chapter 21 verse 107:
"We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures."
[Al-Qur'an 21:107]
Sanctity of Prophet’s Companions:
In Zend Avesta Zamyad Yasht chapter 16 verse 95 (Sacred Books of the East, volume
23 Zend Avesta Part II pg. 308):
"And there shall his friends come forward, the friends of Astvat-ereta, who are fiend-
smitting, well thinking, well-speaking, well-doing, following the good law and whose
tongues have never uttered a word of falsehood."
Here too Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name as Astvat-ereta.
There is also a mention of the Prophet’s friends as companions who will be fighting
the evil; pious, holy men having good moral values and always speaking the truth.
This is a clear reference to the Sahabas – the prophet's companions.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in Dasatir:
The sum and substance of the prophecy mentioned in Dasatir is, that when the
Zoroastrian people will forsake their religion and will become dissolute, a man will
rise in Arabia, whose followers will conquer Persian and subjugate the arrogant
Persians. Instead of worshipping fire in their own temples, they will turn their faces in
prayer towards Kaaba of Abraham (pbuh) which will be cleared of all idols. They (the
followers of the Arabian Prophet), will be a mercy unto the world. They will become
masters of Persia, Madain, Tus, Balkh, the sacred places of the Zoroastrians and the
neighbouring territories. Their Prophet will be an eloquent man telling miraculous
things.
This Prophecy relates to no other person but to Muhammad (pbuh).
Muhammad (pbuh) will be the Last Prophet:
It is mentioned in Bundahish chapter 30 verses 6 to 27 that Soeshyant will be the last
Prophet implying that Muhammad (pbuh) will be the last Prophet. The Qur’an
testifies this in Surah Ahzab.
"Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah,
and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things."
[Al-Qur'an 33:40]
