Stages of Creation in Gāhān

The most important concept of religions is “creation” which can shows the most important part of their followers' worldview. Gāhān is a part of Avesta which considers creation more than other part, such a way that, it can be said creation is the main contents of Gāhān. As regards that creation has been studied from the perspective of mythology. So it seems important to display Gāhān approach to creation. Expressions such as “generating”, “creating” and “constructing” were used to express the quality of creation and each of them had a special view of the creation in different conditions. In order to clarify creation quality in Gāhān, in this paper the "creation" concept will be studied according to these three words and, by comparing their application it will be deduced that there was a belief in the existence of three different stages of creation that started with “generating” then its requirements were donated and finally its components were constructed and the first generating was called as “primal existence” and it belonged only to Ohrmazd. Such an attitude shows a mystical view of creation.
