How to take a Nahn at home

Roj Din Mah Fravardin, 1379 Yz.

We normally have a bath every day to keep our body physically clean. But the human body is composed of more than just the physical parts which we see. The Avesta says that the human body is made up of nine parts (see Yasna 55.1) – which are grouped in three parts of three bodies each:

The physical group comprises of :

1. Tanu – the fleshy body and skeletal system
2. Gaetha – the internal organs
3. Azda – the various liquids and circulatory systems

The ultra physical group comprises of :

1. Keherp – the energy body where the 16 divine energy receiving, processing and transmitting centres known as Chakhras are located
2. Ushtan-Ap – the life breath which is joined with the life breath of Zarathushtra during the Navjote ceremony
3. Tevishi – the emotions body

The Divine group comprises of :

1. Urvan / Ruvan the original part of the Lord in us
2. Baodangh – Divine Wisdom (this is Vohu Mano personified and not what many believe to possess in their physical minds)
3. Fravashi – the spirit of implicit obedience to the will of the Lord
