There is a very interesting observation here:
The Iranian term for god is "Ahura/Asura" while their term for demon/evil god is "daeva"
The Indian term for god is "deva" while their term for a demon-like being is "asura"
Bronze age Indo-Iranian rivalry ?
Yeah, funny, exactly.. that was the time period when prophet Zoroaster came over as a reformer against the Vedic religion and tradition in that region. Then they made new terminology, changed some meanings to their opposite. A bit later it was a much more neccesary tool as a sovereign general religion to strenghten the power of the Achaemid empire. Just a good example of how the propaganda communication works. That was the same trick as nowadays. People are people, with quite similar intentions trough many millenia.:) Religions always have two aspects: one for the strategic and tactic use for the rulers, and one for a personal and intimate faith for the individual humans. In the second case, no matter how we call the big One. :)
Also the emergence of Zoroastrianism, which preached that there is only one god, and the Hinduism there are many godly aspects behind one godly force.
@@KimKhan lol in Upanishads it clearly mentioned there is one god who is Brahma and gods are human manifestation.
@@arpanmandal7244 ... That's what I said.
@MEDES CORDUES in Vedic Sanskrit, "Veda" is knowledge". In Swedish, I find it interesting, "Veta" is "to know".
Tyr might have been more important and more venerated in the past than we currently think of. In general in Norse mythology, like in other pantheons, the hierarchy of the gods changed with time and between people, as most of these pantheons consisted of multiple gods who were first local before intermingled in bigger lore. Tyr might have been THE god and more of a wodan/odin-like figure at a certain point and place in history, explaining the name.
The thing with "Baghdad" Irak captal, is interesting to me as a person speaking a slavic language (Croatian) as "Bagha Data" (If thats spelled correctly) in the middle Persian sounds a lot similar to modern day Croatian and im sure many other slavic languages: "bogu data" Witch also means "God given" .... That is all very interesting to say the least.
Bhaga Data was a character in Mahabharat, Indian historical text.

From this video I picked up in couple of Gaelic words; that seems, they have the same meaning in Albanian (Geg) Language

Very cool! Just one thing, it is not “Dazbog”, but “DaZHbog”. Also so peculiar that slavic “davati”=give and Bagdat are of the same root!
Dadati means give in Sanskrit too
In Croatian, Dati = Give
@veryserioz yes, same with Indian branches too, dāt means given, dātā means giver, Dān means something that is given/donation
There is also word Dits in Armenian, the word Diutsazn means from the nation/family of Gods
In India God is also addressed as bhagwan. Many hindu scripture start from word bhag like bhagwat geeta, bhagwat purana etc.
In Lithuanian God is Dievas. In Latvian- Dievs. And it cognates with PIE and sanscrit

@@SS-gs2lh I heard somewhere that Lithuanian is considered the closest European language to Sanskrit.
@@paulohagan3309 It is undeniably true. The Baltic tribes remained pagan until about14-15 centuries.

Jupiter is not just that, but Jupiter is merely the Greek form of Japheth, and that person in the Bible is the father of all Europeans.
Yes, the Bible says that Jupiter (descendants of Japheth) would be enlarged and dwell in the tents of Shem. So there you go, the Bible already proved what you said.

Bible
“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17).
Veda
“An invisible voice, which sounded low and loud, said, addressing Shatakrat:“ ... So heed this my word: both of them are the gods Nara and Narayana, glorious in heaven. You yourself know what their valor and power represent. Unapproachable and invincible in battle, these two ancient sages, the best of all, cannot be defeated by anyone in the three worlds. Both of them also deserve the highest respect from all the gods and asuras, yaksas and rakshasas, gandharvas and people, kinnaras and snakes. ... ". (Mahabharata Chapter 219).
Indo European Dya or Diba meaning day or sun light lead to Indian Deva. Indra was widely known to Indo Europeans and Turks, rooted into Indrio meaning senses (five) still used in Bengali, perhaps meaning one who is realized by sense perception.

Oh man I didn't think about Baghdad this way
There is "deva" in pre-Christian forms of Slavic languages also.
Some Slavic Regions used the term "Dievas" to refer to the Gods. Bog was more of a title rather than a name.
iran and indian history is very similar .
according to asura is kicked by sura/deva out of india subcontinent 10000 years ago.
Albanians have two words for God. They can be used interchangeably with exact the same meaning. But one is masculine gender, the other feminin gender. Zoti(masculine) and Perendia(feminin).
Lithuanian : Dievas davė dantis, duos ir duonos. (en: God has given teeth, and will give bread). Sanskrit: Devas adadat datas, Devas dasyati dhanas.
Other IE languages: god, theos, deus, xoda, deva, bog...
Old Norse: A S S
Pronounced as: Ows
Aesyr?
Probably from Asatru. Like in Asgard [
So the Norse worshipped ASS...this changes my whole reality.
@@BlackHatTy Some still do 😁
Weird that you didn't mention the Lithuanian "Dievas" which is very close to the sanscrit one
Or "Dievs" in latvian.
Lithuanian is the closest to PIE. A PIE reconstructed version will be intelligible to Lithuanian...

Indeed the Indo-Aryan family, e.g. in Iran :
A daeva (Avestan: 𐬛𐬀𐬉𐬎𐬎𐬀 daēuua, Sanskrit: देव deva) is a Zoroastrian supernatural entity with disagreeable characteristics. In the Gathas, the oldest texts of the Zoroastrian canon, the daevas are "gods that are (to be) rejected". This meaning is - subject to interpretation - perhaps also evident in the Old Persian "daiva inscription" of the 5th century BCE. In the Younger Avesta, the daevas are divinities that promote chaos and disorder. In later tradition and folklore, the dēws (Zoroastrian Middle Persian; New Persian divs) are personifications of every imaginable evil.
Daeva, the Iranian language term, shares the same origin of "Deva" of Indian mythology, later incorporated into Indian religions.
@@arian_daeva god-damn it 😁
The thing about Baghdad blew my mind. In my language (Bosnian, south Slavic) god is "bog", and to give is "dati", the same as in old Persian. So now I realized that if you pronounce Baghdad just a little differently it sounds like an actual slavic word - Bogdat
Fun fact slavic bog has a cognate with alot of indian languages, bhag, or bhagawan..plus the data is also same dat, det, dun etc meaning given..plus the infinitive form is still written in the -ti form
Dati must be given like in Sanskrit. Devaddhutta the godgiven.
Fan fact: There's one Russian name "Bogdan", which means "some one, who was given by God".
Bagdad is from Old Persian baga dāta
Middle Persian becomes bagdād

@@AbdulSamad-jw6xq asura doesn't mean demon in vedic language
in Rigveda all the devas such as Agni, Soma, Rudra, Maruts Varuṇa, Mitra, Indra, Parjanya and even the radiant Savitar who hence has the epithet of Deva attached to him always, are addressed as Asura in Rigveda. The asuratvam of devas is lauded over completely with a hymn dedicated to the same.
Let me quantify the asura mentions in Rigveda on the context of Indra.
In 1.174.1, 8.90.6, 10.96.11, 10.99.12, Indra is addressed as asura directly.
Indirect references :
In 10.67, Aṅgirases praising Indra/Bṛhaspati are called asurasya vīrāḥ, the heroes of Asura, where Asura would imply Indra.
In 10.92, Rudra and Maruts, on context of their relation with Indra, are said to be asurasya nīḷayaḥ - the nests of Asura, the Asura again referring to Indra.
Similar indirect reference is there while describing Maruts as asurasya vīrāḥ in 1.122.1. This Asura would be Indra.
In the famous 10.177.1, the Asura’s māyā by which the golden bird is seen by the discerning sages with heart and mind, is referring to Indra’s māyā, or the “thread of Agni”.
Reference to Indra’s asuratva (असुरत्व)
In all of the two mentions outside 3.55 that speaks about asuratvam, in 10.55.4 and 10.99.2, it is about Indra’s asuratva (असुरत्व) that is praised!
Rigveda 2.1.6 calls agni great asura of heaven as rudra.
Do you know that even god Savitar, invoked in the famous Gayatri mantra
(तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यं tat savitur vareniyam) has been called great Asura in rigveda
Rv1.35.7 वि सु॑प॒र्णो अ॒न्तरि॑क्षाण्यख्यद्ग गभी॒रवे॑पा॒ असु॑रः सुनी॒थः ।

@@abhinavchauhan7864 In fact, the word asura meant something like leader.
@@srikrishnak196
The word "asura" is actually derived as "asu-ra"
In the Vedic language, "ra" is the personification or specialising element from PIE ros, and occurs as suffix in names, which endorse a particular quality, like Indra, Rudra,
Mitra, Vrtra, and much more.
For example, take Indra. The first part contains the root which means "to grow",
"life" etc; perhaps similar to the reconstructed Proto Indo European *(h)eid - to swell. The same root is responsible for indu, (Vedic soma elixir), which is said in Vedas to create life and immortality and waxen its consumers in strength and might.
Also Rudra derives from "rud" meaning to cry or roar.
(think of rodana, "cry")
Thus, asura derives from "asu".
"asu" means life breath, life or the spirit.
Thus, no wonder it comes as an ancient word for the sustainer God in Vedas.
Rig Veda uses the original word for God, especially for its dearest Indra, Agni, and Varuna. Also, it takes the spiritual quality and life providing quality of all the Gods as "asuratva" (quality of asura).
A famous refrain from a Rig Vedic sukta for end of each stanza, states :
"mahat devAnAm asuratvam ekam"
"Great is the one nature of spirit of the devas"
It should be noted that "asuras" applied to the highest Gods suggests that there was no duality between deva or asura. Of course, asura also had a wider applicability for
all mighty spirits, including the undesirable Vrtra.
Still, the word was not limited to "demons".
It is interesting that Rig Veda has no words specifically for demons.

Armenian pantheon also has a god named Tir. Also "As" makes sense for the norse aswell as they refer to their mythology as "Asatro" - Faith of Asa
Ásatrú - Áss faith
No they don't
@@Texasmade74 what do you mean no they don't, are you an idiot? Tir was the god of scholars, the god of rhetoric and wisdom and in the Armenian pantheon he serves as the messenger for Aramazd which is the leading deity.
Modern Armenian word for "God" is "Astvats". So we see the "As" suffix even there. Tvats means "given".
Would you be able to address the Baltic languages as well? We grew up learning in school for the connections to PIE and Sankrit but it was never further explored. Word for God is Dievas in Lithuanian still :D

@@kartikpoojari22 correct, and the second closest languages to Sanskrit after Lithuanian is Serbian/Croatian. I spoke with Sanskrit teacher and he told me that. I can't remember the rest in the list. He also told me that's because Lithuanians and Slavs were part of Skitians and Sarmatians, they are direct successors.
Most Latvians and Lithuanians don't even understand how ancient and epic our languages are.
Is there even enough research about our history.
Indian civilization is very ancient and science and tech, mathematics, astronomy, ayurveda, ship building, making clothes of cotton, muslin, chintz, and silk sarees. All started here. Even the modern toilets came from indus, and also the sampoo🙂.

@@mladendjukic1061 Slavs have nothing to do with Sarmatians or Scythians. some Turkic people do.

Ubogi is better translated as "poor". The name of Svarog (svar - light, sky in sanskrit) is probably another good example of scythio-iranian elements in language.
Bhogi and bhakta
Same in Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian
So "bog" is for things related to money
@@maximodubs4189 Wrong. The etymology of the word God in Serbian is: one who gives better than what we have or want. Not in terms of money, but the common good, spiritual and physical health, understanding and love among people.
Slavic name Bogdan has exactly the same meaning as the name of town Bagdad. the Persian opposits Bhaga and Deva has equivalent in Slavic Bog and div, like in old Polish Dziw meant some dark creature and now means weardo

And sanskrit is like old English, u might read it as a subject just to pass but it doesn't have any other purpose.
Asura are devil's or demon like creatures and dwell in underworld.

Dorud from Persia. Nice job indeed
A couple of interesting facts: in (middle) persian dey means also god, which is also the name of one of the months in persian calender. Also the most common word for god is khoda, which I think is obviously from the same root as god. Also in some iranian dialects like Bakhtiari dialect, gothan means to say, which I found interestingly similar to what was in the video for godan (sorry I don't have the alphabet that you used in my keyboard). This is Goftan as infinitive and gou as imperative in modern persian which is still similar enough to be from the same root.
actually khoda is short for khod-avand aka "self made" as in that god doesnt have parents and was the first being
I wasn't aware Día can mean day in Gaelic. Very curious. In Spanish and Portuguese the word for day is also Día/Dia. In Portuguese the word for God is 'Deus'. The only language besides Latin itself that still uses this form of the word, as far as I'm aware. Great video.
Well, technically spanish is latin based but it has many influences from celtiberians, north african arabic,etc...
Día only means god in gaelic the word for day is lath or lá (pronounced the same) . Día is pronounced some thing like jee-a
In Albanian Dia means Knowledge, dita means day
Indian Myth and Middle Easter are connected history. In Indian mythology, where good rule was established, people worshipped Devas, and where competing evil forces ruled, Ashura aka Ahura were worshipped but there were many noble rulers among Asura/Ahura too who are mentioned in Indian scriptures many of which are lost and some remain.
Ahura is the Asura of Sanskrit. But the whole of Middle East is not Indo Aryan but Semitic. Baal or El or Elohim is the word for God.
@Mr Jesus all of them still either say Allah or some other type of name for god in their language. But I’m sure Allah is used most in the Middle East, which just means “The God” even Arab Christians and Jews say Allah, or in Hebrew Elohim which has the same roots.

Old Chinese obviously also had interactions with Indo-European speakers and borrowed this word into the Chinese language. The PIE etymology for god is *dyeu or *dyéws, which meant bright, and to shine. In OC, words like 昭 (*taw), 照 (*taw-s), and 朝 (*taw) all meant bright, to shine, or morning light.

Cool channel. I'm from North Africa and have always been interested in our connection to the Celtic traditions of Europe? There are many similarities in culture that I have never heard an explanation for. I assume because we allied with Northern and Central Europeans against Rome in Punic wars, and there were Libyan shields found in Switzerland from that time. Also the Vandals inhabited Tunisia... But thats all I can think of and I believe the connection is probably more ancient than either of the two events.

@@phierdling9144 There's a book called "Hannibal" by Theodore Aryult Dodge (A high ranking Commander from the American civil war, and a well respected military historian). In the book he gives very detailed overview of the Punic wars and the time surrounding them. There were Cartheginian (Tunis today) and Libyan designs on shields found in some villages between the Rhone and the Alps. The local people had preserved them so it indicated that they were held in importance, as a symbol of their friendship with the North Africans that came with Hannibal.. The arrival of Hannibal was the reason for a lot of their victories against Rome and Hannibal was the reason for one of the Germanic lineages continuing because he mended discord between two brothers from this nobility of the Germanic tribes.. You can find that book on Amazon or Audible
@@phierdling9144 By the way I realized that Amazigh (North Africans) came from Iberian Celts of Spain and Levantines from Sham (Palestine, Syria etc) and they became one race because they were blocked from others by the Mediterranean sea and the Sahara so they became the Amazigh people, according to geneologists this happened around 12000-15000 years ago.. That's why we have Celtic mounds in North Africa. Like the Shrine of Jugurtha looks exactly like Shrines from Ireland to their Nobles.. So that's why we share some ancient culture
Interesting. God in Armenian is “asstvats” which is similar to old Norse but a bit longer. What is the connection with the words like “astronomy”? In Armenian, the word for star is “astkh”. The Scandinavian name Astrid means something like heaven and beauty.

English “god” came from Korean “gut” - rite of passage in shamanism, as Russian “bog” from Korean “bu”- wealth, that didn’t mean money, but - good wife, family.

I've always loved etymology my whole life. I've studied word origins in dictionaries and other books for decades and written down so many notes I've got enough to write my own books -- if I could only focus on doing so....
@@atheodorasurname6936 I know I love it too. I have done tons of research on where slang expressions such as 'kick the bucket ' and other ones come from. I would write a book on that but it's probably already been done a hundred times lol
@@KC-qb6oi Slang and all sorts of jargons and dialects are fascinating because new words are constantly being coined, old words change meanings or quit being popular and fall out of use, and slang words that only youths or minority ethnic groups use climb the ladder of success and become colloquial in the middle class or even to the heights of "respectable" standard written English. Each word has its own special history and cultural traits. I love studying archaic, dialectal, obsolete, and rare words. I'm also very interested in alliterative words and rhyming words with related etymologies or meanings or both, such as gleam/glimmer/glisten/glitter, stand/stay/stop, bright/light, and curl/swirl/twirl/whirl. I went thru dictionaries and compiled a long list of such words.

I found the Gaelic word for underworld deities being "Ande" or un-God very interesting. It occurs to me that in Welsh mythology, the main otheroworld/underworld is called "Annwfn" which seems to translate to Un-Deep. Does this confirm (unsurpringingly) that the Welsh and Irish had similar conceptions of their underworld Gods? Can we discern anything about the nature of Annwfn from this?
In Tamil we say Aandavan
In Persian among many words to denote God, the most common word for God is "Xoda" pronounced like god in Dutch , which I personally believe must have derived from the root" * (X/G /Z)eu- "meaning"" good " e.g. God, Zeus, Xoda..etc.
Isn't it Khuda خدا?
@@shaheenakhter9975 " X " is used in the phonetic symbols to designate the sound of " kh " , one needs to bear in mind that " X" originally in the Greek alphabet sounds like " kh" ., moreover In Persian Xoda is pronounced with " -o-" whereas in India-Pakistan it might be pronouced with "-u-" which is the wrong pronounciation.
@@majidbineshgar7156 Thanks for the reply but our pronunciation isn't really wrong. Given that we were one of the Biggest Regions with Persian as State and Literary Language. So yes, you can call it a difference of accent but not an error of pronunciation.

I love your video! I will need to mention one thing though. In Romania the term for day is "ziua" and the term for a god is "zeu" which resemble the dia - dyewos relation. The term for Zeus (Theos in greek) and Deus in latin indicate that the "Th" is equal to "D" and to "Z".

As a Greek I always thought the word “God” (Theos) derived from the Olympian god Zeus who was also called Dias.
I mean Deus, Dios, Dia are all used by countries that were formerly influenced by the Romans.
Since Hellenic culture was widespread throughout Europe and the Middle East the influence of the polytheistic faith might have remained in the form of words with similar etymology.

Video mentioned Celtic word Guth which means to speak, in Kurdish culture we have a dialect which has retained really old words and the word for speak is Gath, there is also the ancient Zoroastrian Gathas which are a series of prayers/words directly from Ahura Mazda himself in the Avesta.
We also use Bag/Beg for Lord which actually means ‘God’. However the most common word we use to refer to God now is Xu-Da pronounced Khoo-Daa. This word originated from Xu meaning Great or Good and Da meaning Given.
The word celt comes from the ancient Greek koine word Keltoi , meaning barberian. Their true name was Cymri or cimmerian peoples who originated from the mountains of northern Iran. They migrated to Thrace and Troy and spread out through Europe, also some migrated as far as India. They were the grey eyes peoples. ? ?

You can put the Kurdish linguistic situation two ways:

2 languages:
Gathide Kurdish with 3 dialects: SK (Southern Kurdish), CK (Central Kurdish), NK (Northern Kurdish)
Rhagaean Kurdish with 2 dialects: EK, WK
The dialects have subdialects as listed below.
2)
2 groups of languages:
Gathide with 3 languages: SK, CK, NK
Rhagaean with 2 languages: EK, WK
The languages have dialects as listed below.
SK = Southern Kurdish = Gurani
CK = Central Kurdish = Sorani
NK = Northern Kurdish = Kurmanji
EK = Eastern Kurdish = Hawrami
WK = Western Kurdish = Kirdki (zazaki)
Dialects/Subdialects:
SK: Gurani, Elami, Bajalani, Laki, Pahlayi, Shexbizeni, Xanaqini, Garrusi, Kulyayi, Badrayi, Xizili
CK: Sorani/Hawlleri, Mukriyani, Babani/Silemaniyi, Jafi, Ardalani, [Astanehi]
NK: Badini, Afrini, Botani-Jiziri, Sarhadi-Bazidi, Marashi, Bojnurdi, Anatolyayi Navandi, [Astanehi]
EK: Hawramani Taxti, Hawramani Luhoni, Zardayi, Gawrajuyi, Daftari (old written tongue), Bajalani (Musili/Naynawayi), Karkuki
WK: Kirdki, Kirmanjki, Dimili
Since you can very much say that NK, CK and SK are one language and the same for WK and EK, option 1) is what one should go for.
The language that I speak of is called Hawramani and SK.

A curious story here, I once went with a TV team to cover a race in Texas, on the team was a naive cameraman who did not understand a single English word and was really afraid to go abroad for the first time (we are from Brazil ). When we arrived at the race site, everyone went to their posts and hours later we went to lunch and met again. The cameraman had somehow managed to communicate with someone and the subject had been religion, he was horrified by something he had learned ... "Here in this country they worship a deity called God!" ... I explained that God is the name "Deus" in English
Hahaha what did he respond to that?
@@91rumpnisse Good question! I remember he was paralyzed for a moment trying to process that information and all the implications it brought. It was a shock for the poor man, I think the biggest one must have been to find out that the Bible was not written in Portuguese! 😂😂
Dhe' in Shqip/Albanian means ground, soil. I think it is very related with the greek "theos"... What do you think?
Anyhow, god in Albanian/Shqip is "ZOT"
I've got one for you... I studied Aztec (Nahuatl) while living in Coahuila and points south. The word for god is "teo", surprisingly like Spanish annd Latin. The folklore my tutor shared is that gold and silver are, respectively, teo+cuitla and ixtla+teo+cuitla, where ixtla is white, teo is an adjective, and cuitla is excrement. My tutor seemed aware if these words' structures, as I render it here.
BTW, kudos for the Slavic info.
I am glad i finally come across that comment. Do you know from your studies where the nahuatl word came from? Ive been wondering for years how come that such a particular meaning could have the same word in both indoeuropean and mesoamerican
This is astonishing,because in ancient Mycenae,in Greece(1600BC-1100BC)was also Teo!
The ancient persian word for god was actually baga which is very close to slavic bog!
In an ancient script we see the following: Baga vazarka Ahura Mazda haya, This translates to: The great god is Ahura Mazda
Ahura Mazda which literally means The Lord of Wisdom is actually the name of the god of the then new zoroastrian religion.
Persians used to make flower gardens dedicated to God and call them Bagastan or land of god. In present persian we call a garden bagh!
I thought Ahura meant light?
@@bigfel3240 No, Ahura signifies Lord or God. He goes over that in the video. It's cognate with the Sanskrit Asura. There's a theory that there was theological split between the groups of Aryans and reversal of roles between Ahura/Asura and Daeva/Deva characters, while they were still in Central Asia, before migrating to the Iranian Plateau and Indian Subcontinent. So in modern Iranian languages, Deev means demon or devil, whereas Deva in Indic languages signifies God. And the opposite is true for Ahura/Asura.
That's an interesting theory about the word Bagh (garden). I hadn't heard that before. But it makes sense since we have other similarly structured words that mean garden like Golestan (place of flowers) and Boustan (place of smells).
In Croatian "stan" means apartment.
Behistun (from Behistun Inscription) is actually Bagastan too
There's also a weird early connection with the Uralic languages and PIE: In Finnish the word "Taivas" means just sky, which is obviously derived from the same root as Sanskrit dyā́us, or Baltic deiwas.
While the word for "god" in Finnish is "jumala," from earlier form "juma". The source of the loan is considered to be the PIE word * dyumā́n, from which the word dyumā́n ‘bright, brilliant, fine’ has developed into Sanskrit. In the language of the Vedic texts, or the oldest texts in Sanskrit, the adjective dyumā́n describes the god Indra.
Also woth noting as a curiosity the name of Indra's three pronged weapon is called Vajra and the word for hammer in Finnish is Vasara (as in vasara-kirves kulttuuri = battle-axe culture)
Again, Hungarian doesn't even fit into the group of Uralic languages.
@@accaeffe8032 it does
Considering the sheer amount of words the Uralic languages borrowed from IE and Proto-Germanic, it almost seems like the Uralic speakers were cavemen when they first encountered the Indo-Europeans. Essentially all the words in Finnish having to do with permanent settlements, governing, religion, trade, etc. Anything above the level of hunter-gathering, really, was borrowed. I'm not trying to disrespect the people of Uralic descent in any way, I just find it staggering just how large the portion of words within Uralic languages are descended from Indo-European

In Hungarian there are two words for God: Isten and Ur.the latter may have originated from the ancient Sumerian city named Ur. There are numerous Sumerian words in common with Hungarian.
Hungarian is not an Indo-European language, same with Finnish, Estonian, basque etc
We know that it is different, and that's why I made my comment, to show the difference between Hungarian and the Indo-European languages.

@@singhs2817 Stop running around into every thread writing silly things. It's like someone just learning basic linear equations insisting on "educating" experts in Geometric Algebra. Please just stop for your own reputation's sake. baghdad is from old persian bagadaata and later parthian baqadaad, both with the exact same etymology as given by the video author. As provided by author and attested in old persian inscriptions, "baga" is the generic name for god in old iranic languages. That word is derived from a verb whose offsprings in modern persian are as follows: baxt (fortune, share), baxshudan (to forgive), baaxtan (to loose), baaj (tax). Also check (modern persian): daadan (to give), daade (given). Old persian does NOT come from vedic language. Vedic language is from a time when it had separated from iranian (or iranic) for several centuries. The first known iranic language is known as Gathic Avestan (as opposed to Younger Avestan which is a much younger language) and it is contemporary to Vedic language.

Please note, the word for "god" in Italian is "dio", not "deus", but perhaps you mistook Italian for Portuguese. In fact, the Neolatin languages do not include just French, Spanish and Italian, and some of them display some deviations from the original Latin term for "god". For example, in Romanian the word for "god" is "Dumnezeu", coming from Latin "Domine Deus".
Moreover, the Latin "Deus" is also cognate to "Dievs", "Dievas" and "Deywis", the name of god in the Baltic languages, another important branch of Indo-European languages. Several extinct Indo-European languages also had cognates to Latin "Deus", from the Gaulish "Deuos" to the Hittite "Sius", just to mention some.
As far as I know Sanskrit, Asuras, are equivalent of "Demons", meaning being with demonic qualities, such as Lust, greediness, etc. Devas, on the other side, are "Angels" are beings who poses diviny qualities.Varuna, Indra, you mentionted, from Vedas, are Demigods, meaning "administrators" of material realm, doing they job for the universe to work. God has many names in Sanskrit, one of them is Krishna (By the way, can you trace this word in indo-europen languages? As far as know, its Karisma/Charisma, Charismatic person, is person who attracts), Alltractive, because indeed, even people who dont believe in God, got attracted by his creation. Beauty, is a signature of God, got nothing biological, Beauty cannot be described in biological terms, its a like a signature of a painter who painted a picture.
One can become aware of presence of God, a creator, simply by looking on marvels of nature, and beeings, the cosmos, and everything around. Logically, or by chance, such perfect laws, and rules, could not be created, same as human laws did not get created by themselves.
Great video overall, by investigating the Divine, one become close to the goal of human life. Tired of temporal hapiness, in various forms of material pleasures, and one natural tendency to desire to live forever, indicate that we are indeed not this body. Its only natural to desire what one is. And indeed soul, is indestructible and eternal. Good travels my friends, discover yourself, and discover that there is much more to realize.
A wonderfully profound comment. As for your question concerning Krisna, I doubt the etymology of his name has anything to do with the word charisma, although in scriptures he has been often described as 'Manmohan' meaning 'enchanter, one who is pleasing to the heart', 'shyamasundar' meaning 'the beautiful dark one'. And that brings me to the etymology of his primary name Krishna, which refers to his dark complexion. Krishna, infact is related to the polish 'czarny' meaning black. Assuming you have seen the pictorial depictions of Hindu Gods , there is tendency with the painters to show Him as dark blue instead. But this tendency isnt entirely baseless either. In scriptures and texts revolving around Krisna, you will find a singular motif of a lotus, and that too a blue one, a Nilopher( cognate with the sanskrit Neelotpal) sanskrit has a nearly an inexhaustive lists of synonyms for lotus which plays a very subtle yet important role in hindu philosophy. Krishna's physical beauty is compared to that of a lotus.
('Neel jalaj sundar tanu Sohé, chavil ki Sur nar muni man mohé)
( his body is like a blue water lily,
He is so beautiful he has bewitched even the sages,(rishis), men(nar), muni(monks)
One of my favourite names of his is ' Anandsagar' literally translates into
'An ocean of bliss'
Another famous name of his Jaggannath, meaning 'the lord of the world', the origin of the English Juggernaut. He was the charioteer/mentor of Arjuna, the son of Indra(God of lighting and thunder, also the king of gods, much similar to Zeus and Thor)the name Arjuna means ' shiny' and is a cognate with the latin 'Argentum' (Ag) for silver. The culmination of the Mahabharata takes places after Srimad Bhagvata Geeta( The divine song of God) , one of the most sacred texts in Hindusim in which Krishna gives lessons to Arjuna on various ethical issues in the middle of the battlefield. What I love about Krishna is that he is not an impersonal God, he can squeeze and fit into evey social role. He can be your mentor/ father/ son/ brother/ lover/husband/friend/ savior etc. His stories in fact make up a substantial portion of the themes of indian classical music and dance. his pastimes in the holy city of Vrindavan with his friends and lover have long captivated the minds of our poets and songwriters and it is not uncommon to come across a song based on him every second day.
