0150: Zoroastrians in Prayer
Zoroastrians hailing from Iran, who are now part of the western diaspora, participated in the 2007 Prayer Vigil for the Earth.
The following {excerpted} was offered by Shirin Abadian and friends:
We pray to Ahura Mazda, The almighty God.
We pray to Ashozartosht, the first man to worship one god 5000 years ago.
Today, Zoroastrians live in many parts of the world.
Zoroastrians have a simple rule they live by:
Good thoughts, Good words and Good deeds.
We are proud of our religion and heritage.
We always want Peace in Iran, our homeland and the World.
We are very honored to be here and be part of this rich ceremony and pray to the Earth with our fellow brothers and sisters.
Zoroastrians believe in respecting EARTH, AIR, WATER, FIRE and in keeping the ENVIRONMENT clean.

May there be health and long life, complete Glory giving righteousness!
May the visible Asha, the invisible Asha, Spandarmazd the seven Ameshaaspands come to this fair offering.
We beseech you, Lord, to grant to the present rulers, to all the communities, and to all those of the Good Religion, health and fair repute.
For many years keep us worthy to perform worship and utter prayers, to give charity and offerings, being just.
May we have health to fulfill all our duties and respect the EARTH.
May we be liberal, kind and good!
May it be so, may it be more so, may it be according to the wish of Ahura Mazda and
the Ameshaspands.
Ashem Vohu (1)
