{{zoroastrianism}}Ashem Vohu ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʌ|ʃ|ɛ|m|_|ˈ|v|ɔː|h|uː}}, Avestan: 𐬀𐬴𐬆𐬨 𐬬𐬊𐬵𐬏 aṣ̌əm vohū) is a very important prayer in Zoroastrianism. The Ashem Vohu, after the Ahunavar is considered one of the basic, yet meaningful and powerful mantras in the religion. It is also at the end of most of the prayers in the Khordeh Avesta, except a certain few, most notably the Fravarane.^[1]

Ashem vohu, Ahunavar, Yenghe hatam, and Airyaman ishya form four pillars of the Gathic canon, part of the group of Zoroastrian texts composed in the archaic dialect of the Avestan language.

Prayer

Translation:

There are many translations and all attempts done by scholars do not give an authentic translation of the original with all its possible more deeper significance(s), because they all differ significantly.

For example:

"Righteousness is best (of all that is) good.

As desired, what is being desired

is truth for him who (represents) best truth."

or:

"Truth is best (of all that is) good.

As desired, as desired, truth

is for him who (represents) best truth."^[2]

or:

"Holiness (Asha) is the best of all good:

it is also happiness.

Happy the man who is holy with perfect holiness!"^[3]

or:

"Righteousness is the best good and it is happiness.

Happiness is to her/him who is righteous

for the sake of the best righteousness."^[4]
