Mehr

What do you know about (aine Mehr) Mehr religion. 

I had an Iranian friend who changed their last name to Mehr.

If its of any interest, the Indian counterpart of Mithra is Mitra.

He is the deity that presides over friendship and oaths in the Vedas.

India Mitra/Maitreya, Iran Mithra, Roma Mithras, Armenia Meher, Mirsa.

Mithra (sun, air, light, truth, friend) may be connected with any/either of:

Greek Aether (upper air);
Akkad Mesaru (righteousness/justice);
Sumer Enmesarra?
Biblical Mizraim;
Phoenician Mishor;
Egyptian Osiris?
Babylon Makhir (revelation/dreams);
Greek Mestor?

(Mesaru & Kittu = Mishor & Sydyk ~ Osiris & Set (cp Mitra & Varuna).)

Slayer of the primeval bull Gosh ("Taurus").

Born from a cave/"rock" like Jesus Christ born in "stable" or rather  resurrected from "tomb".

Mithraism derives from Zoroastrianism (and pre-Zoroastrian paganism).
A mystery religion with 7 stages of initiation.

Originally posted by Vedam If its of any interest, the Indian counterpart of Mithra is Mitra. He is the deity that presides over friendship and oaths in the Vedas. Even today in India the word for friend is Mitr.

true, but the key word in there is "origionally"

Miller/Vedam:
(1) Hinduism/Vedic, Zoroastrianism/Mithraism, Roman, Xtianity each 'In' with others 'Out',
(2) Hindu, Zoro, Rom, Xtian all ultimately from one common original,
(3) There are ultimately only two "dualistic" sides, so which is (true and which is) each one on (according to themselves and according to the others) (tho the 2 lines/sides also run thru/within them (between sects/denominations) not just between them).

2 lines in Hindu:
Kshatriyas - Brahmins;
Deva - Asura;

(Note: some may be dialectic/anti-dualist rather than/as well as dualistic.)

Many try to lump "dualistic" Zoroastianism and "neurotic" Roman and Xtianity together, but I agree with others that Xtianity is distinct from all other pagan religions.

Are you saying Mithraism was an offshoot of the Mehr religion?
