Angels-VOHU MANAH

Vohu Manah (Good Mind or Good Thought) is the principal Zoroastrian
archangel, and revealed the truths of Zoroastrianism to Zoroaster,
the founder of the religious tradition. The religion of Zoroaster is
best known for its dualism. The god of light and the upper world,
Ohrmazd or Ahura Mazda (Wise Lord), and his angels are locked in a
cosmic struggle with the god of darkness and the lower world, Angra
Mainyu or Ahriman (Evil Spirit), and his demons.
The principal Zoroastrian angels are the holy immortals (the
amesha spentas or ameshaspands). These beings are named after qualities
valued by Zoroastrians. Vohu Manah is the firstborn of Ahura
Mazda and chief of the holy immortals. At the age of thirty, Zoroaster
had a vision of Vohu Manah, who appeared to the prophet in a form
nine times larger than an ordinary person. After questioning Zoroaster,
Vohu Manah led his spirit into the heaven of Ahura Mazda, who
was holding court with his angels. God then instructed the prophet in
the principles of the true religion.
