SUMMARY:Jashan-e Amardad (Zoroastrian)
DESCRIPTION:Jashan-e Amardad is a celebration ceremony\, a Jashan\, performed on Amardad day of Amardad month\, in honor of Amardad\, a Pehlavi name derived from the ancient Avestan term “Ameretat” from the Gathas of Zarathushtra. Ameretat\, according to Zarathushtra\, is that attribute of Ahura Mazda which represents “deathlessness” and “immortality.” Together with Haurvatât\, it is the ultimate goal and represents the completion of our evolutionary development and the final achievement of our life on earth. It reminds a Zoroastrian that when mankind collectively will live their lives with complete righteousness in their thoughts\, words\, and deeds\, our world will achieve immortal/eternal happiness and peace\, and will become completely free of all evil – it will become perfect – like the kingdom of God on Earth! In later Zoroastrian religious history\, the wise men/priests associated Amardad to be the steward/guardian of the plant kingdom in the world. Plants/vegetation on Earth is the longest living of all of God’s creation\, and hence the Zoroastrians associate it with God’s attribute of eternity/immortality. Due to our immense reverence for nature and plants\, protecting nature from pollution and keeping it pure and prosperous for everyone in the world is our religious duty.

SUMMARY:Jashan-e Ardavahisht (Zoroastrian)
DESCRIPTION:Jashan-e Ardavahisht is a celebration ceremony\, a Jashan\, performed on Ardibehest day of\nArdibehest month\, in honor of Ardavahisht or Ardibehest\, a Pehlavi name derived from the ancient Avestan term “Asha Vahishta” from the Gathas of Zarathushtra. Asha stands for “truth\, order\, righteousness.” Vahishta means ‘the Best’ or ‘the Highest’. So\, Asha Vahishta is the Best or the Highest Righteousness which Zarathushtra attributes to Ahura Mazda. Asha is the universal law of righteous precision. It may best be explained by stating that it means “to do the right thing\, at the right time\, in the right place\, and with the right means in order to attain the right result.” It should result in constructive and loving good not only for oneself but also for one’s fellow creatures and for God. It is the positive\, beneficial and unselfish precision par excellence. In later Zoroastrian religious history\,\nthe wise men/priests associated Ardavahisht with being the steward/guardian of all those forces that give light\, and warmth to our world. To us\, Fire is that symbol of light and warmth\, and represents God’s Righteousness to us\, that’s why a Zoroastrian prefers to pray in front of any form of light. In our temples\, the priest keeps an eternal Fire burning on a large urn\, adding wood to it five times a day. That holy fire in our temples serves as the medium of one’s concentration and communication with God. Zoroastrians are wrongly believed by many as Fire-Worshippers\, when in fact\, Fire is an element of great reverence to a Zoroastrian and reminds her/him of God’s Righteousness\, and is beneficial to have in some form in front of the devotee\, to use as a medium of meditative focus and\nconcentration\, as the devotee worships God/communicates with God\, through her/his prayers.

SUMMARY:Jashan-e Fravardegan (Zoroastrian)
DESCRIPTION:Jashan-e Fravardegan is a celebration ceremony\, a Jashan\, performed on Fravardin day of\nFravardin month\, in honor of fravashis\, the souls of all the righteous people who have ever lived in our world. In Zoroastrianism\, we have special prayers dedicated to honoring and remembering with respect and love the souls of our beloved departed as well as all the righteous souls in the universe.\nRighteous people with their righteous actions throughout their lives help in progressing our world further. Hence\, in this Jashan especially\, we show our respect to all such righteous souls who have helped in the progress of our world so far\, and we seek their blessings so we too can follow in their footsteps and perform righteous actions to further the progress of our world in our lifetime.

SUMMARY:Jashan-e Spandarmad (Zoroastrian)
DESCRIPTION:Jashan-e Spandarmad is a celebration ceremony\, a Jashan\, performed on Spandarmad day of\nSpandarmad month\, in honor of Spandarmad\, a Pehlavi name derived from the ancient Avestan term\n‘Spenta Armaiti’ from the Gathas of Zarathushtra. Aramaiti means “tranquility\, stability and serenity.”\nIt is peace and prosperity. When used with the adjective spenta\, it means the “ever-increasing or\nprogressive serenity and peace”. In later Zoroastrian religious history\, the wise men/priests\nassociated Spandarmad with being the steward/guardian of Mother Earth. So\, when we see this\ndivine attribute from both angles\, for us it stands for Peace & Serenity for all Creation on Earth!

SUMMARY:Jashan-e Ardavahisht (Zoroastrian)
DESCRIPTION:Jashan-e Ardavahisht is a celebration ceremony\, a Jashan\, performed on Ardibehest day of\nArdibehest month\, in honor of Ardavahisht or Ardibehest\, a Pehlavi name derived from the ancient\nAvestan term “Asha Vahishta” from the Gathas of Zarathushtra. Asha stands for “truth\, order\,\nrighteousness.” Vahishta means ‘the Best’ or ‘the Highest’. So\, Asha Vahishta is the Best or the\nHighest Righteousness which Zarathushtra attributes to Ahura Mazda. Asha is the universal law of\nrighteous precision. It may best be explained by stating that it means “to do the right thing\, at the right\ntime\, in the right place\, and with the right means in order to attain the right result.” It should result in\nconstructive and loving good not only for oneself but also for one’s fellow creatures and for God. It is\nthe positive\, beneficial and unselfish precision par excellence. In later Zoroastrian religious history\,\nthe wise men/priests associated Ardavahisht with being the steward/guardian of all those forces that\ngive light\, and warmth to our world. To us\, Fire is that symbol of light and warmth\, and represents\nGod’s Righteousness to us\, that’s why a Zoroastrian prefers to pray in front of any form of light. In\nour temples\, the priest keeps an eternal Fire burning on a large urn\, adding wood to it five times a\nday. That holy fire in our temples serves as the medium of one’s concentration and communication\nwith God. Zoroastrians are wrongly believed by many as Fire-Worshippers\, when in fact\, Fire is an\nelement of great reverence to a Zoroastrian and reminds her/him of God’s Righteousness\, and is\nbeneficial to have in some form in front of the devotee\, to use as a medium of meditative focus and\nconcentration\, as the devotee worships God/communicates with God\, through her/his prayers.

SUMMARY:Jashan-e Spandarmad (Zoroastrian)
DESCRIPTION:Jashan-e Spandarmad is a celebration ceremony\, a Jashan\, performed on Spandarmad day of\nSpandarmad month\, in honor of Spandarmad\, a Pehlavi name derived from the ancient Avestan term\n‘Spenta Armaiti’ from the Gathas of Zarathushtra. Aramaiti means “tranquility\, stability and serenity.”\nIt is peace and prosperity. When used with the adjective spenta\, it means the “ever-increasing or\nprogressive serenity and peace”. In later Zoroastrian religious history\, the wise men/priests\nassociated Spandarmad with being the steward/guardian of Mother Earth. So\, when we see this\ndivine attribute from both angles\, for us it stands for Peace & Serenity for all Creation on Earth!
