Tamam Khordeh Avesta (Shahenshahi)

Ashem vohu

(Introduction: It is one of the three ancient sacred chants.It is the shortest prayer having 12 words divided into 3 lines. It should be recited for inner happiness, relaxation and peace. It calms the mind and keeps negative thoughts away.

Understanding: Truth is good. It is the best path. Inner happiness comes by being truthful and following the Universal Truth.)

Ashem vohu, vahishtem asti,

Ushtā asti, ushtā ahmāi,

Hyat ashāi, vahish-tāi ashem.

Yathā ahu vairyo

(Introduction: Alsoknown as Ahunavar, this is the oldest and most powerful Zoroastrian chant. It has 21 words, spread over 3 lines. By the power of this chant, the Universe was created, and Angra Mainyu was defeated at the beginning of creations. This chant was also used by prophet Zarathushtra to fight evil beings. Sarosh Yazad uses it as one of his weapons. The word shyaotha-nanãm occurring in the chant, when the front knot is tied in the Kasti, means “action”, and the the recitation of the prayer also makes one pro-active. Its recitation also gives inner strength and courage, protection against evil and keeps away fear and anxiety.

Understanding: Righteousness strengthens the divine as well as the corporeal world. Actions dedicated to Ahura Mazda give good thought. Helping deserving needy people strengthens Ahura Mazda’s sovereignty.)

Yathā ahu vairyo, athā ratush ashāt-chit hachā,

Vangheush dazdā Manangho, shyaotha-nanãm angheush Mazdāi,

Khsha-thremchā ahurāi ā, yim dre-gubyo dadat vāstārem.

Yenghe hātãm

(Introduction: It is the third sacred chant, lesser known than the other two, as it does not occur as an individual prayer in most prayer books. However, it is a part of most larger prayers. It has 15 words distributed over 3 lines. Its recitation is believed to bring unity and harmony, and expedite fulfillment of wishes.

Understanding: Righteous men and women should be honoured, as Ahura Mazda Himself acknowledges them for their truthfulness.)

Yenghe hātãm āat yesne paiti vangho,

Mazdāo Ahuro vaethā ashāt hachā,

Yāong-hãmchā tãschā tāoschā yazamaide.

Kem nā Mazdā

(Introduction: The Kasti ritual commences with this prayer. It should be recited before untying the Kasti from the waist, as it protects the person when the Kasti is not on the waist. This prayer provides protection against all types of unseen evils. It can also be recited separately as a prayer for protection. It is compiled from the Gāthās and the Vendidād.

Understanding: The Kem nā Mazda starts with prophet Zarathustra asking Ahura Mazda “Who will give protection to me and my followers except thy Fire (Divine Energy) and Good Mind?” It continues with Zarathushtra asking for wisdom and guidance and protection from injury. It ends with a command for Evil to flee.

Ahura-Mazda Khodāe

(Introduction: This prayer is also known as Nirang i Kasti Bastan “prayer for tying the Kasti.” It is the second prayer of the Kasti ritual. It is in Pazand language, with a short Avestan paragraph at the end.

Understanding: The prayer begins with an acknowledgement of Ahura Mazda’s supremacy and the defeat of Ahreman. Then, it is divided in two parts. In the first part, one resolves to fight various evils, and asks for strength to do the right. In the second part the devotee seeks forgiveness for mistakes committed knowingly or unknowingly and prays for the defeat of Ahreman.)

Jasa me avanghe Mazda

(Introduction: This prayer is a proclamation of being a Mazdayasni Zoroastrian. It is the third and the last prayer of the Kasti ritual. Its first line is from Hormazd Yasht and the rest of the prayer is the last paragraph from Yasna Hā 12, the chapter which is also referred to as the Avesta Din no Kalmo “confession of Faith.”

It is recited holding the front reef knot by the thumbs or index fingers. After finishing the prayer, one must bow down to show allegiance to Ahura Mazda.

Understanding: It begins with the words “Come to my help, O Mazda! I am a Mazdayasni and a follower of Zarathustra.” Thereafter the worshipper praises good thoughts good words and good deeds and the Mazdayasni religion, and ends by reaffirming his belief in Ahura Mazda, the creator of all goodness.)

Jasa me avanghe Mazda! (Bow the head) Jasa me avanghe Mazda! (Bow the head) Jasa me avanghe Mazda! (Bow the head).

Ushahin Geh

The last hour of Ushahin geh is the first part of the Hoshbām period.

Khorshed Nyāsh

(Introduction: A Nyāsh is a hymn dedicated to luminous natural creations. Khorshed Nyāsh is dedicated to the sun. It can be recited only during day time, either in the Hāvan, Rapithwan or Uziran geh, where sunlight is available, like near a window, on a verandah or a balcony. One should not recite it before fire. The recitation of Khorshed Nyāsh is preceded by Kasti, Sarosh Bāj and the respective geh. It is always followed by Meher Nyāsh, Doā Vispa Humata, Doā Nãm Setāyashne and Homage to the Four Directions. These five prayers are recited as a set and comprise the day time Farazyāt “obligatory” prayers of a Zoroastrian.

Understanding: The sun, sun-light [Mithra/Meher Yazad] and star Tishtrya are invoked. The sun is instrumental in distributing khvarena “divine energy” to the world. The sun sustains all creations and provides protection against various types of evils.)

Meher Nyāsh

(Introduction: This Nyāsh is dedicated to sun light and other cosmic lights, over which Meher Yazad presides. It is for this reason that it is recited immediately after the Khorshed Nyāsh which is in honour of the sun. It is never prayed by itself, but has to be recited after Khorshed Nyāsh and followed by Doā Vispa Humata, Doā Nām Setā-yashne and Homage to the Four Directions as the day time Farazyāt prayer. It should be recited only during the day, either in the Hāvan, Rapithwan or Uziran geh, in sunlight or at an open place, like a window, verandah or balcony, and never before fire.

Understanding: The first ten paragraphs are very similar to the first part of the Khorshed Nyāsh. Thereafter Mithra is venerated in all the dakhyus “regions”, and then requested to come for the help, support and victory of the devotee.)

Homage to the Four Directions

(Introduction: This prayer pays homage to all creations. It is recited as the last prayer of the part of the set after the Khorshed and Meher Nyāsh, Doā Vispa Humata and Doā Nãm Setāyashne. If recited in the Hāvan geh one first faces the East and then turns clock-wise facing South, West and North. Then the Ahmāi raeshcha, Hazangrem, Jasa me avanghe Mazda and Kerfeh mozd are recited, once again facing the East. When recited in the Rapithwan or Uziran geh, the devotee first faces the West and then turns anti-clock wise facing South, East and North. Then the Ahmāi raeshcha, Hazangrem, Jasa me avanghe Mazda and Kerfeh mozd are recited, once again facing the West. Though Zoroastrians do not recite prayers facing the North, since this prayer requires facing all the four directions, one also briefly faces the North. While reciting this prayer, one holds the Girebān of the Sadra with the left hand, and with the right hand offers salutations on the word ‘Nemo’.

Understanding: Salutations are offered individually to all the good creations on the earth as well as the heavenly bodies.)

Māh Bokhtār Nyāsh

(Introduction: The word Māh Bokhtār means “Moon – the reliever, liberator.” This prayer is also referred to as ‘Māh Bakhtār’, where the word Bakhtār means “the bestower.” This Nyāsh is dedicated to the moon. It can be recited daily in any of the 5 gehs. It is mandated to be recited at least thrice a month, on the New Moon Day (Chānd-rāt), Full Moon Day (Punam) and No Moon-Day (Amās). It is preferable to pray it in the presence of the moon, if one is praying it at night. Its recitation is beneficial to the mind as it provides mental peace and relaxation.

Understanding: Homage is paid to the moon. Its waxing and waning phases are invoked. The moon is praised for influencing the growth of plants.)

Āvã Ardvisur Nyāsh

(Introduction: This Nyāsh is recited only during the daytime in Hāvan, Rapithwan or Uziran geh. It should be preferably recited near a natural source of water like a well or river. In some Shahenshāhi Khordeh Avestas, it is mentioned that paragraphs 6 to 14 of this Nyāsh, referred to as Ā hatãmchā Hā, taken from Yasna Hā 65, may be omitted, which is not advisable.

Understanding: Ahura Mazda tells Zarathushtra and people of the world to pray to Āvã Aredvisur Yazad who is health giving, prosperity giving and helps to fight evil. Āvã Yazad helps in the process of reproduction and conception, as well as in keeping the mother and baby safe during the pre-natal and neo-natal stages. Āvã Yazad also presides over the Aredvisur river, which was long, perennial and very useful for humans in ancient times.)

Ātash Nyāsh

(Introduction: This Nyāsh is dedicated to fires. It can be recited in any ritually clean place, preferably before a fire, or if a fire is not there, then in front of an oil lamp or any light. It is mandatory to recite it, when one visits a fire temple. One should stand while reciting it, as a mark of respect to the fire. Traditionally a handkerchief is held in one’s left hand in front of the mouth, as a mark of respect and also to avoid desecration of the fire by one’s breath or spit. The Nyāsh is composed from stanzas of Gatha Ahunavaiti and the Yasna.

Understanding: It describes the relationship between fire and men, about the devotee’s wishes for the fire, the boons that the devotee asks from the fire, the expectations of the fire from the devotees and the blessings of the fire to the devotees.)

Nāni Haptan Yasht

(Introduction: The word Nāni means “small.” Those who are unable to recite the Moti Haptan Yasht, may recite this traditionally accepted shorter version. This Yasht too is believed to strengthen the positive effects of planets and weaken their negative effects.

Understanding: The shorter version consists of the introductory paragraphs, which are powerful chants, recited seven times, without the eight Kardās.)
