Mythological Gods of Iran In this video, we travel to the mysterious world of Iranian gods and get to know some of the most important Iranian gods, namely, the god Vai, the god Zarvan, the god Bahram, the god Hum, and the god Anahita. These gods have a special place not only in Zoroastrian beliefs but also in Iranian culture and myths, and are symbols of power, wisdom, purity, and will. In Iranian mythology, the god Vai is the god of wind and air, who plays an important role in nature and human life. Vai is described in two forms: good Vai, a god who brings beneficial and life-giving winds, and bad Vai, who represents destructive winds and destructive storms. This god is a symbol of the power of nature and has a direct connection with the sky and the movement of the winds. In Zoroastrian beliefs, Vai is also known as an intermediary between the earth and the sky, and he is often asked for help in controlling and regulating the winds and natural forces. The god Zarvan is one of the philosophical and profound concepts in ancient Iranian beliefs. Zarvan, known as the god of infinite time, symbolizes the beginning and end of everything. In some texts, he is introduced as the creator of Ahura Mazda and Ahriman and represents the eternal confrontation of good and evil in time. Zarvan reminds us of a philosophy of the endless nature of time and the cycle of life. The god Bahram, who is a symbol of courage, strength and victory, was always respected by ancient Iranians. Bahram was a god who came to the aid of humans in the most difficult wars and gave them victory. He is a symbol of perseverance and strong will in the face of hardships. Bahram represented the belief that any warrior who has faith can overcome his enemies. Now it is the turn of the god Hum, a god who is associated with purity and health. Hum was a symbol of a sacred plant that had a special place in Zoroastrian rituals. This plant, which was used as a ritual drink in religious ceremonies, symbolized healing, health, and connection with spiritual forces. And finally, the goddess Anahita, the goddess of water, fertility, and purity. Anahita is one of the most worshipped Iranian gods, and many temples were built for this goddess. She was a goddess from whom people sought help to fertilize the earth, maintain purity, and flowing waters. Anahita symbolizes feminine power, life, and the continuation of generations. Each of these gods was an important part of the beliefs and culture of the ancient Iranian people and played different roles in their daily lives and religious beliefs.
