Duncan Greenlees (1899-1966) was educated in England and spent much of his life in India. He was associated with Dr. Annie Besant in her educational work for India and served as Principal of one of the many theosophical high schools she founded. He participated in the Indian national struggle for freedom, was associated with Gandhi, and drafted the Indian National Education Policy. Later, withdrawing from all worldly and political activities, he made a study of the religious scriptures of the world. His detailed expositions of the underlying philosophy of the religions are published as the World Gospel Series.

In offering the Gospel of Zarathushtra" to the IN world, I must offer with it a sort of apologia. I am no Avesta scholar, and for the texts which make up Part I of this Gospel I have been almost wholly forced to rely on the accuracy of renderings by others-mainly those by West and Darmesteter in the "Sacred Books of the East" Series. These I have compared with translations by other scholars, and slightly edited, purely from the point of view of language and clarity.
