Names of God in Zoroastrianism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Zoroastrianism, there are 101 names and titles used to refer to Ahura Mazda. The list is preserved in Persian, Pazend, and Gujarati.[1]

The names are often taken during Baj (ceremonial prayer) as part of Yasna while continuously sprinkling with the ring made of eight metals with the hair of the pure Varasya named "Vars"[clarification needed] into the water vessel.[2]

List of names

Two translations for each name are provided below, one by Meher Baba[3] and the other from an online source (persiandna.com).[2]
