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.
