Ashem Vohu is one of two very important prayers 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.
Prayer
aṣ̌əm vohū vahištəm astī uštā astī uštā ahmāi hyat̰ aṣ̌āi vahištāi aṣ̌əmTranslation:
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." or: "Holiness (Asha) is the best of all good: it is also happiness. Happy the man who is holy with perfect holiness!"References
