| | Gathas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The verses of the Gathas are addressed to the Divinity, Ahura Mazda, and also to the public that has come to hear the Prophet. | | | The Gathas form the oldest part of Avesta, the holy scripture of the Zoroastrian religion, traditionally believed to have been composed by Zarathushtra (Zoroaster) himself. | | | The 17 Ha's of the Gathas were, some time later, incorporated into a long prayer, or liturgy, recited at a ceremony. |

| | The Zoroastrian Gathas |
| | Apart from the fact that the Avestan language used for the Gathas is a variation of the Avestan dialect used for most other scriptures, one has to have a contextual grasp of the religion in order to understand the Gathas. | | | To sum up, although the Gathas are a very important component of the sacred scriptures of the Zoroastrians, there are a lot of things, which they do not allude to due to the intrinsic nature of their content matter and composition. | | | Apart from the great importance of the Gathas, there are several subjects which are very important to the religious and Community life of Zoroastrians in the present times, but which do not find a mention in the Vendidad. |

| | Gathas and Translation |
| | The Gathas of Zarathushtra are divinely inspired to inspire and convert "all the living. | | | Though the Gathas are in a dead language, the Pahlavi and Sanskrit renderings of the past, and modern studies of philology have paved the way for a still better understanding of their message. | | | It is, therefore, gratifying to note that in spite of all diversities, renderings of the Gathas, with the exception of a very few, project the Good Religion of Zarathushtra, pastoral or principled, as a highly ethical religion. |

| | In the Gathas, the ethical quality aæáa- is not only a manifestation of human piety and divine mercy, but it is also an immaterial or material aspect of the offerings made to Ahura Mazda&; by the pious and the boons received by them from him in recompense. | | | This obviously reflects the Gatha interpretation by the priests of the Sasanian period, the general view of which is closer to the original than what is somtimes taught about the Gathas in our time. | | | Vividly and in the non-puritanic manner of an archaic unadulterated society, these describe the worldly bliss that is bestowed on the faithful couple, but they also depict the disaster and death which is to be brought upon the deceitful evil-doers who have to expect eternal damnation. |

| | Other Gods are mentioned, worshipped and sacrificed to in the Avesta, not so in the Gathas. | | | The group or tribe that added the 8th Chapter to the 7 Chapter Gathas were probably an Aryan people, hostile to Zarathushtra's, whom they conquered since their language was related, but not the same. | | | So the Gathas are almost certainly complete, not only because of what I said above, but because no fragments of other Gathas have been found and there is no tradition, or books mentioning any lost Gathas. |

| | The Gathas are the Hymns composed by Zarathushtra about 3,500 years ago. | | | The fundamental teaching of the Gathas is its Ethic, for which Iran was known throughout the ancient world. | | | This is the optimistic message of the Gathas; to act free of anger and hatred, free of the guilt and sin, directing effort of thought and action to the cleansing of the world, especially our social world, toward, what Ahura Mazda has assured us, the dawning of a perfected existence. |

| | Unlike the Gathas, Zoroastrianism, in its late fully institutionalized form, is definitely a dualistic religion. | | | The Gathas explain it in a very simple form and yet present a sublime doctrine: All that helps the living world to prosper is good, and all that serves to harm it is bad. | | | But whatever the outcome, the fact is that the Gathas do not speak about heaven and hell, or of judgment, or of a physical or spiritual resurrection, or of reincarnation and transmigration (samsara), or release (moksha), or emptiness (shunya), but only point to the refining of soul through mind for an ultimate existence with God. |

| | Gathas vs. 'later-Avesta' - a Rebuttal: by Adil J. Govadia |
| | In order to reach the spirit of the Gathas by properly understanding the variation of the Avestan dialect and the allegorical references mentioned therein, it is essential to first have a contextual grasp of the religion. | | | The Gathas, as hymns, have a different purpose. | | | However, for the traditional Parsees of the world even the meager portion of Avestan scriptures that still exists is regarded sufficient-enough, as long as the traditional rules of the Ashoi are practiced with sincerity and solemn devotion. |
