Yashts

Yashts are sacred hymns or hymnodic prayers from Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion centered on good, truth, and nature. These poetic texts praise specific divine beings called Amesha Spentas and other divine entities, expressing devotion and seeking their blessings. Yashts serve both as acts of worship and as spiritual tools to align oneself with divine qualities, reinforce religious beliefs, and maintain cosmic order. Typically recited during rituals, they help adherents connect with divine forces, seek protection, and foster moral virtues, reflecting the religion's rich tradition of liturgical poetry.
