182 “Gava” MEANS “MILK-LIBATION” IN THE RITUALS.<br />
(iv) In the ceremonial formula “Haomaya Gava Baresmana”<br />
the word "Gava" which signifies "Jivam"<br />
or milk-libation has been in the same way wrongly<br />
rendered as “beef”. Along with pure spring water the<br />
milk of a goat or a cow is an indispensable<br />
requirement in all Zoroastrian rituals on account of the<br />
five Fradho or electro-magnetic forces e.g. Adhufradho,<br />
Vanthvo-fradho, Gaetho-fradho, Khshaetofradho,<br />
Danghu,fradho, - enumerated in the Aban<br />
Yasht. Hence it is simply ridiculous on the part of the<br />
translator to associate dirty blood-dripping beef along<br />
with the sacred things like Haoma <strong>and</strong> Baresma.<br />
Zoroaster himself introduced this Haoma-Gava-<br />
Baresman method of ceremonial according to the<br />
Aban-Yasht, <strong>and</strong> one cannot for a moment believe, if<br />
one has the slightest idea of Holiness of Zoroaster, that<br />
Zoroaster could have touched a piece of beef in order<br />
to invoke the angel Aban. Such a barbarous idea of<br />
“beef” as the meaning of Gava in the ceremonial<br />
formula could only have been invented by the beefeating<br />
translators of the Avesta, who are absolutely<br />
ignorant of the strict magnetic-purity observed in all<br />
the gr<strong>and</strong> rituals taught by Zoroaster.<br />

The sentence “Geush Hudaongho Urvanem Yazamaide”<br />
which really signifies "We attune ourselves with the<br />
soul of the well-created cow,” has been rendered by<br />
Darmesteter as meaning “We sacrifice Cattle unto the<br />
beneficial Cow.” Thus we obtain here the absurd idea<br />
of sacrificing an animal to an animal of the same<br />
species.<br />
The Avesta word "Myazda" which from its derivation<br />
("Mid," to meet) implies the medium of meeting or<br />
holy ceremonial offerings, by means of the pure<br />
magnetic currents of which one can be in
