Abstract
Bhaagavath represents the essence of all the shaasthras (spiritual sciences), the truth proclaimed by all the Vedhas (ancient revealed scriptures ) and the goal to be aimed at. Bhagah means the omnipotence of Divinity. It also means That which is worthy of worship and meditation. Bha means effulgence. Ga means Making it shine. Va means all-pervasive. Another meaning of Bhagah is Sambhartha and Bhartha. Sambhartha is one who creates the Cosmos out of Prakrithi (Nature). "Bhartha" is the Protector of the created universe. Creation and protection are both covered by the term "Bhagavath." Not only all material things in creation, but also all qualities like fame, knowledge, honour, health, charity and sacrifice are properties of the Aishwarya (Divine).
