Transliterated Text:

gavôi adâish tâish shyaothanâish
ýâish vahishtâish fraêshyâmahî
râmâchâ vâstremchâ dazdyâi
surunvataschâ asurunvataschâ
xshayañtaschâ axshayañtaschâ.

Translated Text:

For the living world, with the reward
Of the deeds that are the best, we seek
That peace and habitation be given
To the learning and the not-learning,
To the ruling and the not-ruling.

Commentary:

The congregation prays for a world in which the best of deeds brings peace and a settled living of sufficiency for all, whether learning (in modern usage literate) or still illiterate, enjoying power and wealth or the ruled-over and needy, they pray for a good life for all without discrimination.

Pondering Point:

“We hold that everyone has a right to live a good and peaceful life.”

ZARATHUSHTRIAN ASSEMBLY

Zarathushtrian Assembly was founded by a group of visionary Zoroastrians in 1990 to create a progressive platform for people of all backgrounds, regardless of current religious belief, world view, national origin, ethnicity, or personal interpretation of Zoroastrianism, to study the philosophy and teachings of Zoroaster (Zarathushtra), as taught in the Gathas (his thought-provoking mantras).
