Origin Of Word God

In substance a much adored or abhorred 

Praised or criticized is the word God. You 

May recall your faith or logic in justification 

For your much valued path of emancipation.

Now to put all this path controversy aside

Not siding with any belief to that you abide.

Here is some interesting information complied,

To you, just for the sake of curiosity supplied.

God- The English word is identical

With Good- The  Anglo- Saxon word 

So the divine goodness is praised

Where ever the word is spoken or heard.

Some believe to be touched by it in heart

Walking angles they become of sort.

Searching deep something else was found when

Walking back to word’s Indo-European house.

Its related ancestor form ‘Hu’ meant ‘ Invoked One’

Found in most ancient Sanskrit scripture Rigveda.

Puru-huta and Ahuti the two words related to it, used

In Yagna to make devotional offering to Supreme Being.

Invoking Supreme Being In a ritual worship may

Mark word God of Pagan origin disliked by many

But the essence none the less is of strong benefit

To receive God’s grace for all humanity as plaintiff.

No matter what name we give to our deity

Or how we adore It at our place of worship

The prayers we offer must be sincere adoration 

Filled with love and affection for his creation.

To me God is the Great Omnipotent Doer

Residing in each and every cell of Nature

Working through each of us for higher purpose 

In evolution of time It or sh/e is an Absolute Eternal.

Sanskrit- Considered the most ancient of all Indo-European languages.

Rigveda- Most ancient book of Sanskrit language.

Yagna- an ancient Vedic fire ritual for invoking God’s grace still prevalent in Hindu ways of worship.
