A DECLARATION OF OUR SPIRITUAL CREDENTIALS

In the introductory part of every Niyaesh, Yasht and other prayers we make a five-fold declaration in the Fravaranay formula which is as under :-

Fravaranay -

Mazdayasno 

Zarathushtrish

Vi-daevo

Ahura-tkaesho  (this means I am now on the path of Asha typified by the  current "geh"

in simpler words this means

1)  'I AM THE WORSHIPPER OF ONE GOD, MAZDA, THE DIVINE EMANATER, PRESERVER    AND TRANSFORMER OF ALL CREATIONS.

2)  'I UNFLINCHINGLY ACCEPT ASHO SPITAMA ZARATHUSHTRA SAHEB AS MY ONE AND 

ONLY RATU AND CELESTIAL PATH-FINDER (PATHAMANIYOTEMO) SUPREME MASTER AND GUIDE. AND IT SHALL ALWAYS BE IN MY ENDEAVOUR TO PUT INTO PRACTICE HIS GLORIOUS PRECEPTS AND TEACHINGS TILL I REACH PERFECTION AND IMMORTALITY.

3)  "I VEHEMENTLY DENOUNCE ALL ENTITIES WORKING ON THE DARK SIDE OF NATURE AND FORTHWITH RETRACE MY STEPS FROM EVIL WAYS OF LIFE".

4)  "WITH THAT END IN VIEW, I PROMISE, AS FAR AS I CAN , TO FOLLOW ALL DIVINE INJUNCTIONS MEANT FOR PRESERVATION OF MY INNER AND OUTER BEING AND FOR

PROTECTION AGAINST ALL BASE INFLUENCES COMING FROM OUTSIDE.

5)  "I AM NOW ON, OR ASPIRE TO REACH, THE SPIRITUAL STAGE INDICATED BY THE

"CURRENT GEH"  AND I SHALL HENCEFORTH STRIVE HARD TO LIVE IN CONSONANCE

WITH THE MESSAGE IN THE GEH.

USHAHIN AND HOSHBAM

I HAVE HAD A GLIMPSE OF THE LIGHT OF WISDOM WHICH WILL ADD LIGHT AND GUIDE ME IN ALL ENVIRONMENTS.

HAVAN

MY LIFE'S PURPOSE IS TO GATHER WISDOM FROM DAILY EXPERIENCES FROM LIFE TO LIFE, AND ON REACHING PERFECTION, MERGE WITH MY DIVINE SOURCE. IN THE MEANTIME I SHALL WORK FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL (SAVANGHA).

RAPITHWIN

I ATTUNE MYSELF WITH THE RESPLENDENT LIGHT OF THE SUN. I SHALL NOW LEAD A NON-VIOLENT LIFE (FRADAT-FSHU) AND BECOME WORTHY OF TASTING THE 'RIGHT FOOD' (AREM-PITHWA), THE FRUITS OF MY GOOD KESHASH OR KERDAR.

UZIREN

I HAVE NOW REACHED THE STAGE IN MY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY WHEN I SHOULD 'ONCE FOR ALL' 'TURN AWAY' (UZ-IR) FROM BAD THOUGHTS AND BECOME A" LEADER OF MEN"   (FRADAT VEERA).

AIVISRUTHREM

I HAVE NOW REACHED A HIGHER WAY OF LIFE (AIBIGAYA) AND HAVE THEREFORE BECOME WORTHY OF HEARING THE SILENT VOICE OF MY SUBCONSCIENCE WITHIN AND INSPIRATION FROM ABOVE (AIWI-SRU) AND TO WORK UNDER ,Y ABED MASTER (SRAOSHAVAREZ) FOR THE UPLIFTMENT OF ALL LIVING BEINGS (FRADAT-VISPA-HUJYAITIM).

IN THE LIGHT OF THE ABOVE DECLARATION I NOW PROCEED TO ATTUNE MYSELF WITH THE CELESTIAL BEING WHOSE KSHNOOMAN NOW FOLLOWS.

THE ABOVE IS THE REAL INTEPRETATION OF THE FRAVARANAY FORMULA. THE CURRENT GEH IS ONLY SYMBOLIC. THE WHOLE HUMAN CYCLE IS TAKEN AS EQUIVALENT TO ONE DAY DIVIDED INTO 5 PARTS CALLED "GEHS" REPRESENTING A SPECIFIC STAGE OF SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. FOR THIS REASON THE GEHS ARE CALLED "ASHAHAY RATHVA"  STAGES ON THE PATH OF ASHA. A PERSON ON THE PATH MAY NOT ALWAYS BE AWARE OF THE STAGE HE MAY PRESENTLY BE IN, HENCE HE RECITES THE THEN RUNNING "HOURLY GEH" ONLY.

IF THERE IS NO RE-BIRTH, THE ABOVE SCHEME OF GEH FORMULAS BECOMES MEANINGLESS, MOST OF THE HUMAN BEINGS ARE NOW IN THE STAGE OF "HAVAN", SOME ARE ENTERING "HOSHBAM" AND VERY FEW PERSONS ARE ON THE STAGE OF PERFECTION - "AIWISRUTHREM".
