Spenta Mainyu

Spenta Mainyu is a core concept in Zoroastrianism representing the "Holy Spirit" or the divine, benevolent force created by Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity. It embodies qualities like truth, goodness, and righteousness, guiding humans toward moral and spiritual growth. Spenta Mainyu is contrasted with Angra Mainyu, the destructive evil spirit. Together, they illustrate the ongoing spiritual struggle between good and evil. This concept encourages adherents to align their thoughts and actions with the positive, life-affirming principles symbolized by Spenta Mainyu.
