The Path of Asha is the Path of Righteousness. One alone is the path, it is the Path of Righteousness. All other paths are non-paths, says he who is Zarathustra. Thou dost well in the straightest paths, Ahura Mazda, that lead to the paradise of the righteous. Right is the Path of Righteousness. Wrong is […]
Life upon earth reveals a smooth and graceful and an all round ordered movement. Nature has its seasonal rhythm. Spring and summer, autumn and winter. With their seasonal succession of changes take their unvarying course. The tides rise and fall punctually. The dawn and morn and noon and evening and night go their uninterrupted daily […]
Thou art eternal light, Ahura Mazda. Thy very nature is light. Be Thou my light. O lord of light. I grope in the dark: scatter the darkness. Shed Thy guiding light on my darkened path and led me onward on my way to Thy abode of eternal light. Let Thy radiance fall upon me that […]
: Fire in its various manifestation, whether as the fire of the hearth on earth or the fiery substance in the bowls of the earth or as the genial glow of the sun in the azure vault of heaven or the silver sheen of the crescent moon in the sky or the flickering brilliancy of […]
Fire is the purest, grandest, and noblest emblem of Thy divinity, Ahura Mazda. It is the sublimest symbol of the faith of Zarathustra. Fire is the image made by divine hands, incomparably more sublime than any image graven by human hands. It is unsurpassed and unequalled by any in the language of symbology. Fire is […]
With the weight of seven and seventy years on his hoary head, Zarathustra was seated in the oratory one summer morn, committing and conversing with his father in heaven, when the fell hand of Brattaresh fell upon his sacred person and he received his martyrdom by the sword of the Turanian.

Thy word incarnate, Ahura Mazda, is Sraosha, the impersonation of Thy religious lore. He is the celestial teacher of the Mazda – worshipping religion, even as Zarathushtra is the terrestrial. He, the wakeful and watchful, has not rested by day or by night since Spenta Mainyu and Angra Mainyu, Thy Spirits twain, the Good and […]
From day unto day will I lift my heart in thanksgiving unto Thee when I take my daily meals, O Creator, Nourisher, and Sustainer of the world. Thou dost feed me and clothe me and provide me with all my needs, Thou, my maker, knowest my wants and freely dost Thou bestow them upon me […]
Thou art the beginning and Thou art the end of all, Ahura Mazda. Thouhadst no beginning and Thou shalt know no end. Long, long ages ago, ere creation came into being through Thy creative will, Thou didst live in sublime solitude. When Yazatas were not and Amesha Spentas were not, and the Fravashis existed as […]
Thou Art light, Ahura Mazda. Where Thou art, there is light. Void of Thee all is darkness. In Thy resplendence Thou dost live in Thy heavenly realms and wear the star spangled heaven as Thy garment. In the realm of the endless light, Thou dost hold the council of Thy angels and archangels, arrayed in […]
Thou art invisible and none can see Thee. Invisibility is the chief characteristic of Thy spirituality, Ahura Mazda. Though present everywhere, Thou art unseen anywhere. Thy invisibility hides Thee from all eyes, human and divine. The Amesha Spentas and Yazatas, Thy archangels and angels, see Thee not. The souls of righteous dead behold Thee not. […]
