With a spirit of unity and service, ZAGNY welcomes all generations to connect, learn, and uphold the timeless values of Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds.
About Zoroastrianism
Zoroastrianism is one of the world’s oldest known religions, founded by the Prophet Zarathustra (Zoroaster) over 3,000 years ago in ancient Persia. Centered on the worship of Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, Zoroastrianism teaches a path of truth, righteousness, and personal responsibility. Its core principles—Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds—have inspired generations to live ethically and in harmony with creation. Though small in numbers today, Zoroastrians continue to sustain a rich spiritual and cultural legacy across the globe.
About Our Dar-E-Mehr
The Arbab Rustam Guiv Dar-E-Mehr is the spiritual and cultural heart of the ZAGNY community. Opened in 2016 in Pomona, New York, this beautifully designed center provides a welcoming space for worship services, religious classes, cultural programs, and community gatherings. It stands as a testament to our shared heritage and the vision of bringing Zoroastrians together under one roof to celebrate, learn, and strengthen our bonds.
