The Problem of Evil in Zurvanism and Hinduism

Zurvan willed to have a son and sacrificed for nine hundred and ninety nine years but nothing happened and he started to doubt the efficacy of his sacrifice and the moment this thought arises in his mind an egg will come into existence and to his surprise the egg or the womb contains a twin. One of them is Ohrmazd, the good god who is the result of his sacrifice and another one was Ahriman who is the result of his doubt on the efficacy of his sacrifice.

Isn't the tendency to doubt a common nature of human beings? I think this nature has come down to us from our Father Zurvan. Even I used to offer sacrifices to the Savitr God, twice a day, once in the morning and in the evening for one whole year and I started doubting these sacrifices. I thought what knowledge have I gained by doing this for one whole year? After these thoughts came to mind unfortunately I fell unconscious forward in the morning and backward in the evening while I was doing sun salutations. Isn't this tendency to doubt things a common nature of human beings? Now you can imagine how Zurvan might have felt after sacrificing for nine hundred and ninety nine years, day after day and yet nothing happened. This is the reason why Zurvan said this to his son, Ohrmazd, "Up until now I have offered sacrifices to you and now you will sacrifice to me".

The intention of God was indeed to create a perfect world with no suffering and evil but he messed up big time with his experiment and this resulted in a world with both good and evil. Its like the gain of function experiments, though the intention is to do something good for the world but if things go wrong then the same gain of function can create havoc in the entire world and what better example than the gain of function experiments on Corona Viruses.

Hinduism has no concept of devil and all events are attributed as fate by God. How can rape and murder be part of the divine plan? How can you convince a women that something better is in store for her when she is brutally raped by someone and this is all part of the divine plan? If we have to believe that she got raped for something she did in her previous lives then why the hell God is not showing what we have done in our previous lives? Why is that hidden? How are we supposed to learn from our mistakes in previous lives if we are not even aware of why we are suffering in this life? This whole theory of karma sucks. For people like me who believe we have no free will whatsoever it makes no sense whatsoever. Foolish Hindus whenever something bad happens to them think that either its because of their past karma or its all part of the divine plan. This is where Gnosticism and Zurvanism wins me completely because it accepts the fact that something is wrong with the world through life experience. Both of the religions, Gnosticism and Zurvanism have the courage and the heart to accept the fact that even God is not perfect and he too is an emotional being who is vulnerable to fallibility.

Yes, the planets do influence us but as long as we will be victims of these planets we can never ever be free but mere slaves of Ahriman, the evil one. According to Zurvanism, the 9 planets are commanders of Ahriman and the 12 Zodiac signs are commanders of Ohrmazd and whatever goodness the 12 commanders shed on earth, Ahriman and his commanders distribute it unevenly by doing good things to evil people and by doing evil things to good people. (This explains the fact that why Good people usually undergo a lot of suffering in their life)

Some people ask why God is allowing evil in the world and does not try to prevent evil if he is so great and worthy of worship. The reason is God has allowed Ahriman to rule the world as he wish for 9000 years as God promised that whoever comes out of the womb first will make him a king and Ahriman did came out first as he was/is more smarter than Ohrmazd.

So now the big question is how do we break free from the influence of these evil planets because as long as we are in the bondage of these planets no matter what good we do in life these planets will make us suffer when time is bad for us.

Both Ahriman and Ohrmazd are inside every human being but we should neither strive to do good nor evil but instead worship Zurvan so that he delivers us from the bondage of Ahriman and Ohrmazd and lead us towards freedom and immortality.

You cannot change this world which is inherently evil and is controlled by evil gods and the only way is to be in the world performing your duties and yet remain neutral to the events in the world. You have to become the Purushottama of Bhagvad Gita.

The goal of our life should be to neither do good nor evil but to remain neutral and attain freedom and immortality by worshipping Zurvan before death arrives. If you do not attain immortality with in your lifetime then again you will die and born and again Ahriman will enslave you and you can never be free.

Hindus should open their eyes and try to study other religions and cultures and not just whine about how great their religion is. Hindus don’t even study their own scriptures and do we have to think that they are going to study other cultures and religions, just forget about it. Just by celebrating a few festivals here and there and by following a few customs will not make God happy. God wants you to return to him.

Only at death you will realize that none of this belongs to you, your wife, your daughter and son, your wealth, your fame, your power, none of these belongs to you. This whole world is for the enjoyment of Gods and Demons. This is their playground. The smart thing to do is not to get too carried away by good and evil. Gods use us like pawns to get their work done and dump you once their work is finished. Foolish human beings think that they have achieved all this by themselves.

Now an Atheist might say that this post is a rant and say how can a human being with at least two functional neurons can believe in this non-sense. Well, its definitely not non-sense, its based on my life experience and it makes perfect sense with all the evil events happening around the world.
