The Aryan (noble) Creed Pledge: Zarathushti Fellowship

AA ARYE-MAN ISH-YO

(The Wish of the Noble hearted- An Ideal Humbandagi-Group Prayer)
Yasna 54 , composed in the 9 X 7 meter of the Ahunavaiti Gatha


Recite Ahuna-var (1)


AA Ar-ye-maa Ishi-yo, rafedhraai jantu,
Nar-e byaas-chaa, Nai-ree-byaas-chaa, Zarathushtra-hey
Van-ghe-ush Rafe-dhraai man-ang-ho,
Yaa day-na Vai-rim, hanaat Mizh-dem,
Asha-yaa yaa-saa A-sheem,
Yam ishi-yaam Ahooraa ma-sa-taa Maz-daao (to be recited 4 times)


This is the blessed wish of the noble brotherhood that prizes Ethics and Personal Integrity (Truth and Justice) above all else;
Flow onto us, O Noble Aryan mentality; that Bliss and Joy inducing high mindedness,  
For us Zarathushti Men and Women
The victorious upholders of Light (Truth, Knowledge, Justice) 
Who, by choice follow this rewarding path to prosperity and excellence 
The path of actively promoting Truth and Justice, through ethical actions (not empty words) that have good consequences,
May we be granted that reward, that blessed condition of life; that self realization as ordained by Thee O Creator who rules exclusively through Wisdom


Arya-manem ishim yazamaide,
Amavantem, Verethraa-janem, Vit-baeshanghem, Mazishtem, Ashahe Sravang-haam,
Gathaao Spentaao, Ratu-Kshthraao ashaonish yazamaide;
Staota Yasna Yaza-maidey,
Yaa dataa angheush pouru-yehyaa



We dedicate this Mantra, Invoking the Glorious Noble Ones,
That Powerful Mantra which empowers the Ethical;
The application of which makes us Victorious (Un-assailable) against all opposition (like Verethreghna),
That focuses our strength through alignment with the pure rhythm of the Universe,
O Divine Gathas, stimulator of the divine strength within us, aligners with the forces of Nature (Truth and Justice), We invoke thee,
Through incantation of the Staota (devotional invocations) Yasna hymns
which thou have declared the first and foremost and the very breath of our souls.

This small Mantra, written by Zarathushtras’ immediate followers; rubbishes the western translators obsession with the term "Arya" having racial overtones-specifically white skin. The mantra packs a lot of information and highlights a number of Zarathushtri concepts, all encapsulated into 2 verses.
It identifies the Airyanaams, as those advanced souls who uphold Truth and Justice, who carry out deeds of selflessness,with strength (Kshaatraa); through intelligent due diligence, in consultation with their conscience; whose characteristics are aligned with the Universal Truth (Asha);
Thier reward is that of becoming undefeatable, un-assailable……like Verethreghnaa. (Thrae-tona) who recovered the "Light" stolen by the "Druj".

It reinforces the thought processes underlined by Zarathushtra in Ys32.9; wherein Zarathushtra reiterates his decision to resurrect the lost heritage of Light andTruth, that had suffered a setback under an unashamedly materialistic dispensation.
