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. The silence of desolation […]
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. […]

સૃષ્ટિ (સર્જન) તમારી દિવ્ય ભલાઈનું મુક્ત કાર્ય છે, અહુરા મઝદા! જ્યારે કશુંય નહોતું, ત્યારે તમે એકલા તમારી ઉત્કૃષ્ટતાની આત્મનિર્ભરતામાં વસતા હતા. તમે અમેશા સ્પેન્ટાઓના, અને યઝદોના પિતા છો, અને ફ્રવશિશ પણ તમારા જ છે. તમે જ બહેશ્તી આલમને પ્રકાશથી (તેજ) આચ્છાદિત કરી છે અને તમે જ ધરતી અને પાણી તથા છોડવા અને જનાવરો તથા મનુષ્યનું […]
