Quotes:Ahura

Blavatsky, Helena Petrovna

Ahura. The same as Asura, the holy, the Breath‐ like. Ahura Mazda, the Ormuzd of the Zoroastrians or Parsis, is the Lord who bestows light and intelligence, whose symbol is the Sun (See “Ahura Mazda”), and of whom Ahriman, a European form of “Angra Mainyu” (q.v.), is the dark aspect.
