God Word Origin Poem by Savita Tyagi

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- TheAnglo- 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.
