The following is <strong>the</strong> synopsis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> meaning and message <strong>of</strong> Gatha Haa 30-1 as given by Dr. Framroze :-<br />

Dr. Saheb explains that 30-1 sets out a curriculum for those who desire to have, and crave for, <strong>the</strong> final<br />

bliss - <strong>the</strong> ultimate peak <strong>of</strong> salvation. The curriculum consists <strong>of</strong> three chapters: (i) "Staotaachaa Ahuraai", (ii)<br />

"Yesnyachaa Vangha - hey-oosh Manangha-ho", and (iii) "Hoomazandraa Ashaa".<br />

"Staotaachaa Ahuraai" means <strong>the</strong> Staota - Prayers - <strong>the</strong> Prayers composed <strong>of</strong> divine vibrations, which<br />

lead to Ahura.<br />

"Yesnyaacha Vangha-hey-oosh Managha-ho" means <strong>the</strong> Yasna - "Kriya" emanating from "Vohuman," <strong>the</strong><br />

divine Yazatic Consciousness <strong>of</strong> Ahura.<br />

"Hoomaazandraa Ashaa" means <strong>the</strong> "Manthra" which attunes to Asha - Ahura's divine Light, and Truth.<br />

These three shall attune <strong>the</strong> devotee's Ruvaan to <strong>the</strong> Ultimate Light and Bliss, so says 30-1.<br />

This is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> direct Gathic references to <strong>the</strong> mystical Science <strong>of</strong> Staota Yasna <strong>the</strong> divine vibrations in<br />

Nature and in Manthra Prayers. Ervad Saheb Phiroze Masani has in his "Zoroastrianism Ancient and Modern"<br />

(1911 - Republished by Parsi Veg. & Temp. Society in 2000) given many more, from <strong>the</strong> Gatha, Yashta,<br />

Yazashney, Visperad, Hadokhta Nusk and Avan Niyaish.<br />
