Spiritual growth is one of the highest peaks in the society of harmony, nature and human
life, and while realizing it there is a balance. Night after coming down, the rivers flow, issue with
the cold, bitter sweet and discern between good and evil plays an important role in the
development of the human. This is a history of our ancestors who lived in ancient times, their
religion, arts, and medicine, everything was spirituality full confirmed.
It is not chance that teachings of Zoroastrianism people to the water promote soil fertility and
purityin our Father country. It was in Central Asia in the early period, the natural forces divining
totemic, animism, fetishism such beliefs were less than perfection, monotheism doctrine. In
Zoroastrianism affect bloodshed in vain offerings spots, those who live sedentary, physical labor,
fertile are encouraged to engage in animal husbandry.
During the development of the consistent traditions of Zoroastrianism, the ancient began seven
"living saints" and their mythological nature of seven things were symbolized - air, soil, water,
plants, cows, and seven ceremonies and celebrations in honor of the fire ceremony were existed.
Two of these celebrations happiness, kindness, heavenly order and a true representative of the

request were appeared according to the worship life of the furnace cycle. In these regions two
economic areas, namely agriculture and livestock from natural elements were divined. Our
ancestors could not imagine their lives without them. In all areas of Uzbekistan there was great
need for them. For this reason, the ancestors of the Uzbek people for the first time in all areas of
both agricultural embassies affect the role played important role in the spiritual world. Therefore,

household cleanliness, environment, clean, conservation opinions, ideas are still actual in
practice.
Ancestors known that a fire was burning fiery furnace pepper, bread, food scraps to remove
ashes from the hearth rubbish, waste furnace burning in abundance in the valley settled
population lived in rural areas for the gray wire gathered in a corner of the courtyard or gray as
the edification in the fall or in the spring of mineral crops. Together with the ashes of the fire
garbage out, this house was going to join one of the wedding and mourning ceremonies, - they
thought. During the three days of mourning ritual for the fire infected apartment fire cooking
source. It is now common in all regions of the country. Neighbors that provide hot meals for
three days of mourning neighbors [1].
Zoroaster's religion on the ecological system of the concept is not only stopped in
environment and a bribe as well as the purity of his own sorrow. Thus, in the "Avesta"
recommended that regular exercises every day to deal with a few hundred hand-washing, hands-
suckle up and keep the other parts of the div, hair, and nails counsel. 17-of this part of
"Vendidod" were collected and shun the devil and cut off the nail and hair was given instructions
about what to do for people in "Avesta".
Water sources - rivers, lakes, wells or maintained in spite of all kinds of pollution. If you
need to wash something impure ceremony, the water collected in a special place, but even then
bad things directly into the water. The bad thing is erased before the cows are washed and dried
in the sun or in the sand and then washed with water in order to purify the final. In addition,
burning of the rain outside the home is prohibited, because such a move is due to the water and
the earth "disliked" they thought they could handle it. Waste water and blacken the sin. "Avesta"
invited to clarity "pure water, and the fire burning in front of the world social punishment in hell
Who soil grief and suffering was so bad condition" [2] the wakeup call.
Seriously studied by scientists around the world of our ancestors, "Avesta" the pastures,
not to destroy the bushes, crops, gardens rag, fruit trees, harm, environmental protection purity,
springs, wells, pools, ditches groove enough attention should be paid to signs comments could
be found at this complex time. For example, looking at a pond or a stream on the property, or
any person who has tied his horse to the ground, broke a trunk of a neuron founded 25 lash and
punished with beatings. If the environment, road, bushes, meadows land, in violation of the
provisions of the protection of the water dirty and it has been sentenced 400 lashes pulse [3].
Still preserved traditions of our holy doctrines: "Water pollution", "Do not spit", "Animal
scold," "night sleep with pressure, playing with fire" and "desolate cabin fever clean" as gentle
and wisdom are remained us from the ancient legacy of "Avesta".
Thus, air, earth, water, fire, clean, environmental cleanliness and wildlife preservation
ideas are still important for people. Thus, the "Avesta" forward views on all aspects related to the
environment, the positive aspects of life development of the ecological, mind and culture.
Preserved in environmental cleanliness and diseases "Avesta" can be divided into the following
groups:
1. Hide garbage, dirty soil, stone, sand disposal. Killed in the same way microbes or less.
2. Flame, heat and cold loss. "Avesta" fire away and the sprinkling of rare tool. Even may be
cleaned clothes from microbes and disposal with it.
3. Chemicals: slave, vinegar, wine, a variety of herbs (There – in cense, onions, God, sandals) by
way of incense. Herbs are also eliminates germs thrive. "Vendidod"s Chapter 6 looks for wind,
animals, and birds fly through a variety of ways to let you highlight the spread of diseases
prevention.

It was perceived as an enemy of the opposite of life and death that death was due to
complications of the evil days for his reactions were different. Close to dead people who died of
possible dead washers tried to go to a special place day alone the div. Body separate towers,
ancient, long time ago, the count of hills, desert, rocky places, worms and amphibians, birds,
wild animals could ate them as food. Which is abnormal for this time of such actions do not
target the bodies dirty there, the water might contaminate the weeds. At that time, the div meat,
bones buried together spool plate.
According to Zoroastrian cosmogony, the earth is in the form of a flange, moisture, water
is the basis of everything, the earth is surrounded by the ocean, it is like a board in water.
According to this belief, Zoroastrians revered water even more than fire. According to them, the
first of the six substances (six gods) surrounding the earth is water (Apam-Napat), which
contains the power of life, and the power of life in the water should be enriched with the juices
of death [4].
In the system of ecological concepts related to Zoroastrianism, not only the environment,
but also the purity of the person was concerned. For example, in "Avesta" it is advised to engage
in regular physical education, to wash the face and hands several times a day, not to touch other
parts of the div without washing hands, to keep the hair clean and clean the nails. The 17th
chapter of "Vendidot" gives instructions on what to do with the nails and hair in which the
devil’s excrement is collected and is cut [5].
Traces of Zoroastrian views about the magical properties of hair and nails have survived in
the life of our people even in the present days. According to the researchers, nails should be
thrown on the edge of the ground when they are taken. [6]. If it is not thrown to a distant place, it
will pierce under the feet of that person in the doomsday. Therefore, when people cut their nails
away, they wrap them in paper like a shroud and say: “I give it to you, the black earth.” They
bury it in a distant place, saying, “The wind, you are a witness[7]” At the heart of this custom, a
positive relationship between man and nature began to be formed on th basis of the preservation
of hair and nails, which are considered remains of the human div.
In the teachings of Zoroastrianism, water was considered a sacred element, and first of all, its
purity was concerned about. For this, water sources – rivers, lakes or wells were strictly
protected from any impurities. If something ceremonially impure had to be washed, the water
was collected in a special place, but even then the impure object was not washed directly with
water. The impure object was first washed with cow urine, dried in the sun or sand, and then
washed with water for final purification. It was also forbidden to go outside when it was raining,
because it was thought that it would make the water and the land “unpleasant”. Wasting and
polluting water was considered a grave sin. In this regard, it is said in “Avesta” that “the
punishment in hell for those who are impudent in front of pure water and burning fire is worse
than all the pains of this world” [8].
Among Zoroastrians, keeping the surroundings clean and not interfering with the process
of nature was a part of Zoroastrian virtue. Members of the team, particularly, young people, were
brought up in the spirit of preserving and beautifying nature. From a young age, they were taught
to plant trees, take care of them, create greenery, build gardens, and not to pollute streams and
ponds.
