Though similarities abound in their respective traditions, many notable differences reside. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerhaps the most striking is the strict dualism at the heart of Iranian religion. Even prior to Zarathustra, a Cosmic struggle between light and dark delineated bounds of acceptable conduct, reflecting a radically moral understanding of the universe and man's place at the heart of a \u003ci\u003eholy war\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ezurxāne\u003c\/b\u003e (also spelled \"zurkhaneh\") serves as an acutely physical expression of this spiritual ethos. Like the Indian akharas, these \u003ci\u003eHouses of Strength\u003c\/i\u003e engender a profoundly heroic quality in the training and conduct of their adherents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePahlavānān train and fight as a means of reflecting outwardly the inner conflict pitting one's higher self against a lower, Ahrimanic impulse. Their external victories mirror internal triumphs necessary to become a renowned warrior of both material and spiritual dimensions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaster WarYogin Tom Billinge has again immersed himself in the subject matter of his work, becoming a Western steward of this ancient Indo-European tradition by testing himself in the \u003cb\u003ezurxāne\u003c\/b\u003e system of today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Billinge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8989644100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798989644100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sanctus Arya Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Tom Billinge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761097568511,"sku":"9798989644100","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a9de449e-612a-43e7-b82f-b318c0592e52.jpg?v=1706680364","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waryoga-tom-billinge-9798989644100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
