Bhagavan
Bhagavan, also written Bhagwan or Bhagawan, from the Sanskrit  nt-stem (nominative/vocative ) literally means "possessing fortune, blessed, prosperous" (from the noun , meaning "fortune, wealth", cognate to Slavic "god"), and hence "illustrious, divine, venerable, holy", etc. In some traditions of Hinduism it is used to indicate the Supreme Being or Absolute Truth, but with specific reference to that Supreme Being as possessing a personality (a personal God). This personal feature indicated in Bhagavan differentiates its usage from other similar terms such as Brahman, the "Supreme Spirit" or "spirit", and thus, in this usage, Bhagavan is in many ways analogous to the general Christian conception of God.
