THE LOGO
Fire as the source of light, warmth, and energy portrays, in the
Zarathushtrian doctrine, the Divine “Progressive Mentality”—the faculty of
creating, sustaining, and promoting the universe. Fire is the guiding
light, the warm love, and the living force. Fire
was, therefore, chosen by Zarathushtra as an altar.
The
Assembly logo is based on the Achaemenian fire altar of 2,500 years ago. It
shows a blazing fire on a three-ridged vase. It has
six flames, which represent
the six Principles of Life—Good Mind (Vohu
Manah), Best Righteousness (Asha
Vahishta), Chosen Dominion (Khshathra
Vairya), Progressive Serenity (Spentâ
Aramaiti), Wholeness (Haurvatât),
and Immortality (Ameretât)—arising
out of the Divine Inspiration (Seraosha)
and radiating Light, Warmth, and Energy (Atar)
from a triple base of Good Thoughts (Humata),
Good Words (Hűkhta), and Good Deeds (Hvarshta).
The circle round the altar, penetrated by the converging flames, depicts the
good earthly life soaring high to a blissful state beyond.
The
logo symbolizes the lighting,
leading, and thought- provoking Message of Zarathushtra.
