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.
