The study concludes that the teachings of the Avesta offer valuable insights into the foundational role of family in cultivating moral and spiritual growth. The principles of Good Thought, Good Word, and Good Deed remain central to fostering a virtuous and cohesive society. The Avesta's guidance on family values continues to hold significant relevance in modern times, providing a timeless framework for understanding and enhancing family dynamics and social cohesion.]]>
