The Meaning of the Word “God”

[Веретенников Сергей]

Let’s sort this out.

Some pronounce this word with reverence, while others treat it as something that is a relic of the past.

Is that really so?

First of all, there are already words such as: Belobog, Chernobog, Dazhbog, Stribog

I don’t know about you, but personally, these ancient words tell me one thing: the word "god" here is an abbreviation of the word "wealth."

But not merely monetary wealth—wealth in everything.

I named my School the Mahapurna School. What is the Veretennikov School?

Purna is essentially the equivalent of the word God (wealth in everything): absolute completeness and wholeness. And whatever is absolutely whole and complete—that is wealth.

You would not call a person who has only $1,000 rich. But someone with a trillion dollars somehow seems more like a person who has come closer to possessing all the money in the world. That person is rich because they are closer to having EVERYTHING.

God, or Purna, is fullness; it is wealth.

There is an ancient book:

Shri Ishopanishad

om purnam adah purnam idam
purnat purnam udachyate
purnasya purnam adaya
purnam evavashishyate

om—this is how all mantras begin; purnam—fully complete; adah—that which; purnam—whole; idam—this manifested world; purnat—from the perfect; purnam—the completed part; udachyate—is produced; purnasya—from the Complete Whole; purnam—fully; adaya—having been taken out; purnam—perfect balance; eva—although; avashishyate—remains.

That is how it begins. This is the first verse-mantra of this Vedic Book.

This verse is about there being Someone who possesses absolute fullness. Whole worlds, also possessing fullness, emanate from Him. And although Full parts emanate from the Full, this original Full always remains full and is not diminished.

And this mantra helps the attentive listener reflect: who, then, is this Someone?

God, of course. He alone never becomes poorer, even when giving away His wealth.

Because He is the richest of the rich.

Therefore, we should immediately dismiss all those "clever experts" who say on the internet that the word "rich" originated from the word "god."

It is precisely the other way around!

So I return to you once again with the words: Belobog, Chernobog, Dazhbog, Stribog

Belobog—is rich in light
Chernobog—is rich in darkness
Dazhbog—gives wealth
Stribog—is rich in wind

Of course, I have already told you much of this here— A Slavic Crash Course
And you already know much of it.

And I will give one more compelling piece of evidence.

If, for example, in the word "Belobog," "bog" had the Byzantine meaning, as all those "preachers" tell us, then we would necessarily have words such as "Velesobog, Rodobog, Svarogobog..." But there are no such words!!!

You cannot be rich in Veles!

And you cannot be rich in Rod.

THAT IS WHY THE WORD "BOG" IS NOT WRITTEN.

Because "bog" means wealth.

For me, God is a word. On its basis, one can construct a concept (a system of views) or an idea about something, which is essentially synonymous. It can also be called a hypothesis and, by substantiating it convincingly, make it increasingly generally accepted—that is, a theorem with its own set of proofs. This is how human beings are structured: to describe reality. A concept can be both interesting and useful, as in the message above, or it can be different.
