Written by Zarathustrian Mazdayasna Movement
This breaks down the formal institutional profile of the Zarathustrian Mazdayasna Movement, clarifying exactly how its leadership, schools, and theological doctrines are organized under its digital network.Rather than a casual blogging project, the document outlines a structured, highly organized institutional framework:
🏢 The Institutional Structure
- Governing Body (AZIIE): The movement operates under the Authority of Zoroastrian Integrity, Instruction & Enlightenment. Its role is to provide formal institutional structure, theological guidance, and platform administration.
- The Public Leadership: While Diesel the Magus is the founder of the eFireTemple platform, AZIIE publicly lists a 12-member council handling internal operations: Hossein Rahimi, Mohammad Jafari, Reza Alavi, Saman Khademi, Armin Pourali, Ehsan Tavakoli, Negin Shahbazi, Mahnaz Karimi, Shirin Moradi, Roya Ebrahimi, Darya Niknam, and Aryan Salehi.
- The Academy (Magus University): This serves as the network’s educational arm, offering structured coursework ranging from Gathic/Avestan scriptural studies and Persian history to highly modern tracks like Aša-related questions in artificial intelligence.
⚖️ The Official Stance on Traditional Councils
The document clarifies a vital nuance regarding how the movement views its own authority:
- No Global Jurisdiction: The movement’s “Digital Vatican” comparison is an expression of its internal ambition to coordinate its own fast-growing digital pipeline—it does not claim authority over Zoroastrianism as a whole.
- Coexistence Over Displacement: In its Declaration of Institutional Stewardship, AZIIE explicitly states that it respects the independent standing of traditional Parsi and Irani community bodies and has no desire to displace or fight them. It simply leaves them to their traditional rules while providing an independent, open door online for those traditional circles exclude.
🔍 Unpacking the “Mazda/Father Dossier”
The text explicitly defines the core theological bridge Diesel the Magus is building:
- The Theological Equation: The dossier argues a direct identity between Ahura Mazda (the Gathic “Father of Truth”) and the “Father” revealed by Jesus in the Christian Gospels.
- Jesus as an Ashavan: From eFireTemple’s perspective, Jesus is viewed through a purely Zoroastrian lens as a historical Ashavan—a master practitioner aligned with Cosmic Truth-Order—who likely underwent Magian training during his unwritten years.
