The Philosophy : In Depth

Utayūiti: Perpetuity, Vitality

Utaiiūti is a secondary concept in the Gathas with strong existential and metaphysical weight which surprisingly does not appear in later tradiition. It seems to mean mainly perpetuity, which is semantically distinct from immortality (as can be clearly seen in Yasna 45.7), although is may have another meaning of vitality. Utaiiūti ‘perpetuity’, alongside Təuuīši ‘broadening, thickening’, seem to refer to the two divine intermediaries which interact with the physical, material existence (as well as extend the properties of the mental realm). Utaiiūti specifically refers to the process by which reality can continue and move along in its current state, iteratively reach further states of existence. Full article coming soon.

ZARATHUSHTRIAN ASSEMBLY

Zarathushtrian Assembly was founded by a group of visionary Zoroastrians in 1990 to create a progressive platform for people of all backgrounds, regardless of current religious belief, world view, national origin, ethnicity, or personal interpretation of Zoroastrianism, to study the philosophy and teachings of Zoroaster (Zarathushtra), as taught in the Gathas (his thought-provoking mantras).
