Transliterated Text:

imãm âat zãm genâbîsh
hathrâ ýazamaidê ýâ-nâo baraitî
ýâoschâ tôi genâo ahurâ mazdâ
ashât hachâ vairyâo tâo ýazamaidê.

Translated Text:

Together with the womenfolk,
Here we venerate this Earth that supports us
And them—the women, who Lord Wise,
Belong to You on account of their righteousness.
Them we venerate also.

Commentary:

Men and women gather to venerate the earth which supports us. Special respects are paid to those women who have dedicated themselves to serve God through righteousness—an appreciation of the women who served in spreading the Good Religion and are remembered by name in the Farvardin Yasht.

Pondering Point:

“Venerate the Earth as it nourishes the men and women who support it.”

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).
