Translated Text:

Waters we venerate,
The dammed [pond], the collected [lake],
The running [stream], the well-banked [river],
The well-gushing [waterfall] and the well-bathing [sea].

Commentary:

The prayerful venerate various types of water—water in the pond, lake, stream, river, the waterfall and the sea. Water in all these shapes is dear to them.

Pondering Point:

“Venerate the water of Earth in all its forms and seek never to pollute 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).
