Fravashi
Fravashi (
fravaši, ) is the
Avestan language term for the
Zoroastrian concept of a personal spirit of an individual, whether dead, living, and yet-unborn. The
fravashis of an individual sends out the
urvan (often translated as 'soul') into the material world to fight the battle of good versus evil. On the morning of the fourth day after death, the
urvan is imagined to return to its
fravashi, where its experiences in the material world are collected to assist the next generation in their fight between good and evil.
Fravashi
Fravashi (Avestan) Fravahr (Pahlavi), Fravati (old Persian) [from fra before + var to grow upright, incline upward, be true] Sometimes Farvarshi. Primeval truth; the alter ego or spiritual counterpart of every entity. "The Fravashi is the inner power in every being that maintains it and makes it grow and subsist. Originally the Favashis were the same as the Pitris of the Hindus or the Manes of the Latins, that is to say, the everlasting and deified souls of the dead; but in course of time they gained a wider domain, and not only men, but gods and even physical objects, like the sky and the earth, etc., had each a Fravashi" (Darmesteter, Farvardin Yasht 179).
In Yasna 26 five different faculties for understanding or five stages of consciousness are mentioned: Ahu, Daena, Baudha, Urvan, and Fravashi (the need of upright growth). In the Bundahish (ch 1), Ahura-Mazda produces a preparatory creation of embryonic and immaterial existences, the prototypes, fravashis, spiritual counterparts of the guardian angels of the spiritual and material creatures afterwards produced.
Ahura-Mazda, previous to the material creation, consults with the Fravashis of men (the sons of light) and these guardian spirits of men choose to fight the adversary, Ahirman, in a bodily form.
Cosmically it is the celestial double of lower celestial beings, the cosmic Christos or universal spirit (SD 2:478).
