Zoroastrian prayer covers a wide range of invocations and utterances, aimed at connecting the faithful with Ahura Mazda or other Zoroastrian divinities.[1] They may be performed in private, in public or at a fire temple.[2][3]
The practice of prayer has changed considerable over the centuries. In Old Iranian times, mantras were the most common form. During the Middle Iranian period, non-Avestan prayers like the nirang and the monajat became common. In modern times, the wide availability of printed literature like the Khordeh Avesta had a noticeable effect on Zoroastrian prayer practice.[4]
