We do not pray to the Atash. Nor do we worship fire.

As I said, these are discussions I have very rarely with very few people.

Ofcourse we worship fire though not in the same way as Zoroastrians do. Infact, the first verse of Rigveda starts with Mantra of Agni.

अग्निमीळे पुरोहितं यज्ञस्य देवमृत्विजम् । होतारं रत्नधातमम् ॥

Agni is not a Daeva. He was invited by the Daevas to join them. But he refused.

He is what your side calls an Asura. Ours an Ahura.

Good Morning Doc ... your write with Zoratrian perespective but as per santani or vedic prespective Agni is the most imp Dev and all offerings to devtas go through Agni dev through Yagya done in vedic systems ...Cheers doc
Agni is a son of Brahma as a Pancha Bhuta god. In the Vishnu Purana, Agni, called Abhimāni is said to have sprung from the mouth of the Virāta Puruṣa, the Cosmic Man, a form of Vishnu after being born from Brahma. In another incident later, Agni after being born to Brahma, rises from the ritual fire produced by Dharma and Vasubhāryā.<a href="Agni - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>121<span>]</span></a>

According to the Puranic mythology, Agni married Svāhā (invocation offering) and fathered three sons – Pāvaka (purifier), Pāvamāna (purifying) and Śuchi (purity). From these sons, he has forty-five grandchildren which are symbolic names of different aspects of a fire.

Even your earlier Rig Vedic texts acknowledge Agni and Indra as Asuras.

Hinduism has morphed, and included many local deities (not Aryan Rig Vedic, but local to the land).

And you have always worshipped Asuras.

The disagreement (and split) was always who was higher in the pantheon of Gods.

well thats not like it but even if you say is write then both Dev's and Asuras are brothers have same father but with different mothers

Sage Kashyapa is the father of both the asuras and the devas, who are born of his two wives Diti and Aditi respectively. This is symbolic of the good and evil inherent not only in nature and the external world but also within each individual.

As I said, its been over 5000 years since the split.

Narratives change in 10, as seen in India over the last decade.

@Guru Dutt ji,

None of us have fair degree of the knowledge on the subject so let us not discuss it.

I have a fair degree of knowledge on my heritage.

So I disagree.

True knowledge comes from reading both (all) sides, and then using your own cognition and judgment.

In the absence of that, there is only blind faith and organised institutionalized religion.
