His exposure to the Bible instigated him to research his religion while in high school.
He has a unique perspective on the Zarathushti religion and history, resulting from over 40 years of research.
He says, “the Zarathushti history that has come down to us has been written by its adversaries over the last 2000 years, and the Avesta has been deciphered and translated by western scholars with preconceived Greek/Abrahamic ideology, thereby leading us astray.”
