The book is divided into two parts, the first part being a translation of the last four Gathas, which are hymns composed by the prophet Zarathustra himself. These hymns are considered to be the most sacred and important texts of Zoroastrianism, and are believed to have been composed over 3,000 years ago.The second part of the book consists of legends and stories related to Zoroastrianism, including tales of the prophet Zarathustra, the creation of the world, and the battle between good and evil. These legends are meant to provide a deeper understanding of the religion and its beliefs.Albert Pike, the author of the book, was a prominent Freemason and scholar of comparative religion. He was particularly interested in the esoteric and mystical aspects of different religions, and his writing reflects this interest. The Last Four Gathas of Zarathustra And Legends is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and beliefs of Zoroastrianism, as well as those interested in comparative religion and the study of ancient texts.THIS 70 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Lectures of the Arya, by Albert Pike.
