भगवान को शाब्दिक अर्थ के हो ? भग के हो ? वान के हो ?

The meaning could be:

भ-Bhumi(earth)
ग-Gagan(Sky)
व-Wayu(Air)
वा-Wa+AA=वा so i think AA=Aag(Fire)
न- Dont know cos i think it should be Jal(Water)

I am not sure but i think the meaning is related to five elements as according to Hindu religion.

oh it is interesting ...I didn't know that the word "bhagawan"has such meaning .

Its just a guess...i am not sure this is the right meaning....and i dont find out the exact word for न.

नेपेजी ले उपल्ब्ध गराउनु भएको शब्दकोष बाट भग को अर्थ त् थाहा पाइयो । भग भनेको 'femal organ' or female private part' रहेछ । वान को अर्थ चाँही भेटिन, कही त्यस्को अर्थ 'male private part' त् होईन ? Just curious !!!! यदि हो भने भगवान भनेको पुरुष र महिलाको 'private part' हरुको संगम हो ?

If the meaning of "wan' is the 'male private part', it might be difficult for temple goers. To me, it make sense because these parts are the source of creation.

One thing to know.

you must have heard "Shiva Linga".
It is Shiva's penis.

And if you guys have observed a pooja.. there is a small item having some familiar shape :-).. They call it "Yoni" and use to pour water over "Shiva Linga".

That is nothing but Parvati's female organ.

I think Kapuri Kha made it clear. Now it is obvious that the word 'bhagwan' is not as attractive as I thought before. Now what I am trying to understand is: is the union of Linga and Yoni a state of enlightment or is it a process that will lead us to that state-Nirvana? The ultimate goal of Hindu religion is to acheive enlightnement. What is the spiritual significance of this UNION?
