Gathas
Gathas are hymns or verses composed in the Avestan language, attributed to Zoroaster, the founder of Zoroastrianism. They form a central part of the Zoroastrian sacred texts known as the Avesta. Gathas express profound philosophical ideas, ethical principles, and spiritual insights, emphasizing themes like the struggle between good and evil, the importance of truth, and the role of human choice in achieving harmony. Gathas are considered the most ancient and authentic reflections of Zoroastrian thought, offering guidance on living a righteous life in alignment with divine principles.
