More DescriptionGatha translated in Persian.Avesta is the name sacred book of the Zoroastrians, containing the rituals and teachings of prophet Zarathustra and the priests of ancient Iran. The oldest part of Avesta is known as the "Gatha", written by Zarathustra himself. According to many researches, these hymns and chants are the first collection of spiritual poetry written in the ancient world, dating back to nearly 4000 years. The hymns of the Gatha constitute 17 sections which are part of the Yasna (a section of the Avesta) and are written in five separate sections. The hymns of the Gatha are recited with special melodies, and teach the listener or the reader about the three holy precepts of the Zoroastrian faith: Good thoughts, Good words an Good deeds, which Zarathustra recommends to his followers. For most Zoroastrians, the Gatha are therefore the most important and most Sacred section of the Avesta.
