Ishvara Brahm Purushottama God Allah are the Same?
Ishvara means one who has Controlership over Entire Universe. Ishvara is Allknowing and He is Cause of Birth Staying and Dissolution of Universe/s. Ishvara is only 1.
God does not mean Ishvara even though it sounds similar. God means Devata or Diety. God comes from the Sanskrit word हुत, Hu means to sacrifice. The one whom the sacrificial offerings reach are हुत, the word change slowly to Ghut and then to God. This word is of Germanic Origin and entered English. All Pagans who sacrified to these special governing forces where hence called Hutas or Gods.
Deva means to Shine or Play. There are 10 meanings assigned as per Sanskrit Grammar but the meaning which was adopted by Western Pagans was of Luminosity. Since the sky shines it is called Div in Sanskrit which changes to Dyaus by a rule दिव उत्. Since the Dieties are Shining they started being called Devas (from) Div and Dios in Latin again from the common root Div.
Devatas where not considered as Supreme Beings who controlled entire Universe but they controlled only some specific function, like controllership of Sea was with Varuna here and Poseidon there. In the West there was no Common Origin to all these Dieties hence they are Polytheistic.
But we have another Diety called by names Mahavishnu, Vasudeva, Narayana in his Purusha form who gives rise to all other Dieties. देवा नारायणाङ्गजाः (Bhagavata = all Devas rise through parts of Narayana). This is the Viraat Purusha form which Krishna shows, where all Dieties are as Parts of His body and He himself is the Ishvara using these forces to control individual aspects of the Universe.
God in Christianity and Islam is 1 single Diety which controls the Universe. He is a Diety. Don't confuse him with Ishvara or Brahm. Ishvara is Also a Diety.
But there are alot of Specialities in Ishvara lacking in any of the Avedic Thoughts.
Allah is not Omnipresent. Ishvara is. God/Yahveh has various beliefs of its Omnipresence within Christian/Jewish schools. Both are not Omnipotent, they are bound by their own nature in terms of decision making etc. They cannot a forgive a sinner who worships someone else, they lack Compassion and are Partial. वैषम्य-नैर्घृण्य.
Their God or Allah is Ethical whereas ours is Meta-Ethical (Beyond Ethics). The word of God is Ethics here, and if God makes a rule he cannot break it. The Redemption of souls is also based on their Ethics (code set by God).
Whereas our Ishvara is beyond anything like Ethics, He follows Dharma only by will for Loka-Sangraha (inspiring others). He does not provide Moksha based on Paapa and Punya but he does that when the Soul has been cleansed of all Ethics and Papa-Punya. As our Ishvara is Meta-Ethical his Moksha also is Meta-Ethical.
There is no concept of Leela in Avedic faiths and even in Avedic Anarya Namaj types. Hence their God and Allah have the stain of Vaishamya and Nairghrinya (partiality and cruelty). The God provides free-will to souls, He then puts those who worship Him into Heaven and those who dont into Hell.
Ishvara is free from all this. Ishvara doesn't create for any purpose. All his deeds are juat purposeless divine passtimes. As Time is cyclical and beginningless, the previous Karmas decide the fate of individual souls and Ishvara is Kevala (unattached) to all Wordly Material Stuff.
Bhagavan is an aspect of Ishvara. Bhaga are six qualities called = Aishwarya (all-Controlership and opulence), Veerya (Valour), Yashas (Glory), Shree (Splendour), Jnana (Knowledge of All) and Vairagya (Unattachedment). Such qualities are also present in certain Humans and Devas hence we refer to them as Bhagavan Indra etc.
But all 6 are A) Infinitely Prsent B) Present all the time C) Are Natural Qualities not Acquired in only 1 Ishvara. Who is Undoubtedly Krishna/Narayana. कृष्णस्तु भगवान् स्वयम्। Other Dieties have these qualities in limited amount, and are acquired not natural, acquired or borrowed from Krishna.
