DESCRIPTION:Gastvortrag in englischer Sprache von Prof. Dr. Alberto Canter
 a (Freie Universität Berlin)\n\nIt is a feature of the Indo-Iranian panth
 eon the deification of a series of abstracts nouns like Vedic arámati-\, 
 Avestan ārmaiti "fiiting though\, devotion". In the last years\, it has b
 een proposed that some of these abstract nouns designate specifically some
  ritual attitudes or actions. Thus\, it has been proposed that the frauua
 ṣ̌i\, the pre-existent immortal soul of human beings\, refers exactly to
  the recitation of the Frauuarāne\, a section that opens each Zoroastrian
  ritual and in which the priest announces his ritual "elections" (for whic
 h god he is performing the ritual\, according to which model\, at what tim
 e and with which priestly college). Some years ago\, Cantera proposed that
  one of the most complex concepts of the Zoroastrian tradition\, daēnā\,
  refers originally to a ritual process. Av. daēnā has an astonishing bro
 ad semantic range\, from "a woman that appears to the soul after death"\, 
 to "tradition" or even "religion". According to my interpretation\, it ref
 ers to the "vision" obtained in the course of the main Zoroastrian liturgy
 \, in which the interviews between Ahura Mazdā and Zaraθuštra are "seen
 " which are the basis of the whole Zoroastrian textual tradition. Furtherm
 ore\, the pre-senter is going to advance a new interpretation of the name 
 of the main Zoroastrian god\, mazdā\, according to which it also refers t
 o a specific attitude of the priest during the ritual.
