The Sanskrit word : Allah

Allah is Sanskrit

This came without any asking!  I mean, it was like an answer to many things!!

I had some years back proposed through the Orkut medium, that the number 786 was actually Aum () by a mere reflection of the numerals in Devanagiri script.  There was great acceptance of that idea and many years later I had seen that some had put presentations and even animated videos explaining the same!


While I have already explained that Aum is that pranava mantra that can be uttered even without a tongue, here is another word that is formed of three letters of the Devanagiri alphabet. Srishti (Brahma), Stithi (Vishnu/Shakti) and Samhaara (Shiva) can be denoted by the vowels A, L, aH.  A is the first  vowel, L is the ninth and aH is the last. 
अ - आ - इ - ई - उ - ऊ - ऋ - ॠ - ऌ - ॡ -  - ए - ऐ -  - ओ -  औ - अं - अः
1  - 2   - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 -  7 -  8 -  9 - 10 -11-12-13-14 - 15 - 16 - 17 - 18.

(Note :- The original Vedic script has hraswa (short) for ए and ओ and are denoted with backstrokes. (as can be verily seen).
The Malayalam language has maintained them while Hindi & modern day Sanskrit seem to have dropped them. The corresponding Malayalam script is as follows:
അ ആ ഇ ഈ ഉ ഊ ഋ ൠ ഌ ൡ എ ഏ ഐ ഒ ഓ ഔ അം അഃ


It is interesting to note that in Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon the words ilah (god) and Allah occur under the root A-L-H. 
(Interestingly, immediately after the introduction in the Surat 1 Al-Fatihah, containing just 7 lines in which God is praised with his attributes,  the Surat 2 Al-Baqarah (The Cow) starts with the 3 letters before going on to introduce the Qur'aan.  The three letters are Alif-Laam-Meem about which standard commentaries say that "These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'aan and none but Allaah (Alone) knows their meanings".  Perhaps they accomplish some meaning if interpreted as the first, middle and last letters of the Sanskrit Alphabet viz. अ, ऌ, अः while that of the reference of cow needs to be imagined)


अऌः = AllaH

Giving a tantric touch (see the link given in the bottom), it can be seen that since अ is masculine, ऌ is neuter and अः is feminine, the word is to denote Purusha, Parabrahma and Prakriti - Shiva, Brahman & Shakti as the trinities. That are the running energy - Purusha (He who resides in the body), the creator who is Parabrahma, and the body itself that is Prakruti - Nature.

As an analogy let us take a car for example.  There is a creator who first invented the car and he is the Para-Brahma - the great guy. The car is created in a factory which is Prakruti (Pra - (as) per, Kruti - work = According to Design).  Once on road, it is given the fuel that is energy and once started, the Purusha (Puri - body, sha = shayi = sleeping inside guy) keeps it alive.  Thus the car is alive because of all the three. Here the creator is given 'Royalty' and does not involve in the day to day affairs. The day to day affairs are managed by the Purusha and the Prakriti.  However though the Purusha and the Prakriti are worshipped daily, it is the Parabrahma that is ultimately worshipped. 

Just as we explained ॐ in the other blog, pronouncing अऌः (AllaH) is composed of three steps, touching the energy source Purusha so that the अ starts in the stomach / belly and it goes to the mouth where ऌ makes a communion with the upper palate - Cerebral/Retroflex (symbolically yoga with the Creator / Parabrahma & duly acknowledging) the tongue touching the upper palate of the mouth and then अः as visargah, salutes the Mother Nature.

It is interesting to note that the Aramaic word "El", which is the word for God in the language that Jesus spoke, is certainly more similar in sound to the word "Allah" than the English word "God". This also holds true for the various Hebrew words for God, which are "El" and "Elah", and the plural form "Elohim". The reason for these similarities is that Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are all Semitic languages with common origins.

(http://www.emuslim.com/whoisallah.asp)

This means that Jesus referred to God as "EL" and that is the same in Aramaic as well as in Hebrew.

See Mathew 27:46 :
"About three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eli, eli, lema sabachthani?", which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?  (ἐγκατέλιπες)"

 See again that the word Rama appears in many places.  Whether it is Ramadan or Ramzan, Ramallah, ARamaic or AlRahman or for that matter even Rome or Roman.  Oh my, it is there in Aramaic too - the language that Jesus spoke when he died on the cross.

אלה is the representation of EL or Elaha in Aramaic and behold as they are written right to left, can't one see the Swastika and then Aum in it if you looked bottom up? There it is! Yet another one that Establishes that Allah and Aum are the similar.
If we see into the English alphabet, the 'L' (Allah) is the 12th and 'M' (Aum) the 13th. Can we infer anything from this?
Also see that the ऌ is the Aum rotated by 90° clockwise and along with anuswaara!

A point that is to be noted however, is that the  Aum () that starts with the Stomach (Creation) and ends in the Mouth (Air / Praana) denotes Sustenance while AllaH (अऌः) that starts with the Stomach/Mouth (Praana) and ends in the upper palate, is about 'after' Death and therefore, while  Aum (represents Vishnu, AllaH (अऌः) represents Shiva.  

There is also an interesting discussion on the Sanskrit Alphabet and the Gods associated with it in the following link :- 

There is this one too on the Tantric aspects (Parātrīśikā-Vivaraṇa) of the letters  ऋ - ॠ - ऌ - ॡ.  It is said in this that  ऋ is the seed-letter (bija-akshara) for tejas or fire.  (RgVeda starts with Invocation to Agni).  While  ऋ  is agni-beeja (of seed of fire),   ऌ is prithvi-beeja (of seed of earth)  In the Bible/Quran, God created man from earth (ie. prithvi).
(https://books.google.co.in/books?id=Dv4P88vXwzMC&pg=PA172&lpg=PA172&dq=tantric+letter+lu&source=bl&ots=ehtCIqmJX0&sig=SVp2wfrqtBmXTLmFsmpukd31FfI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAWoVChMI7oiD2vWtxwIVUY6OCh0ZVQ2M#v=onepage&q=tantric%20letter%20lu&f=false)






See Point 24 above :  Au is called Trisula or Sula-beeja ie. trident because all the shaktis, viz. icchaa, jnaana and kriya are present in it in the clearest form. 

The three prongs of trishula (trident) are Soma (moon indicating Icchaa or Desire), Soorya (sun representing Jnaana or Knowledge) and Agni (fire representing Kriyaa or Activity).



Taking the discussion further, let us examine the Sanskrit Language once again. 
The principle of SELF & BODY is primordial to eastern languages, like for example, in one of the oldest languages, namely Tamil or in the most scientific of all languages Sanskrit.
We can see a clearly differentiated classification of Vowels from Consonants in them unlike those that we find in the western languages. 


English ~ Tamil ~ Sanskrit~ Meaning
Vowels = Uyir / உயிர் =  Praana / प्राण​ =     SELF / LIFE
Consonants =         Meyyu / மெய்ய்    =         Saroopa / सरूप      = BODY

It is very typical of the Indian way of relating even the basics of the language to spirituality and science - of life and body, both of which together constitute an organism. Seeing spirit in everything is the universal and eternal way of life, enshrined in Sanatan dharma. Shiva is considered the propounder of Akshara [alphabet], Yoga, and all other sciences including Vedas, Ayurveda, Siddha, etc.
When the 18 vowels and 33 consonants dance, from the 51 such aksharas, we obtain everlasting happiness in words, sentences, and literature. [Note also that the numbers 18, 33, and 51 are all considered sacred numbers because science & knowledge start from them].

“O ye Eleven Gods whose home is heaven, O ye Eleven who make earth your dwelling, Ye who with might, Eleven, live in waters, accept this sacrifice, O Gods, with pleasure” – (Rg.Veda 1.139.11)

The 33 consonants are considered as the 33 devatas. 
AshtaVasu - 8 - [Dyaus, Prithvi, Varuna, Agni, Vayu, Nakshatra, Surya, Chandra]
Aaditya - 12 - [Vishnu, Aryavan, Indra, Svatsva, Varuna, Bhaga, Savistr, Vivatsr, Amsa, Mita, Pusan, Daksha]
Rudra - 11 - [Aananda, Vijnaana, Manas, Praana, Vaakya, Ishaana, Tatpurusha, Aghora, Jatpurya, Satjyota, Aatma]
Aswini - 2 - [Nasatya, Dasra]

When the 51 are gone, there is no life (praana) in the body (saroopa).

The 33 saroopaas are those that start from कः etc. [ka: + aadi = कोदि]
Therefore we call 33 kodi consonants / saroopaas.

The 18 praanaas together are denoted by combining into ॐ ( अ + उ + अं ) or otherwise taking the first, middle, and last vowels making it الله (अ + ऌ + अः) i.e Allah or taking only the middle vowel ऌ it is Elah [אלהא] in Aramaic (note the swastika on both sides of the ॐ written 90deg rotated anti-clockwise) or in biblical Aramaic as ܐܠܗܐ.

As already told, in Tamil, praana is uyir [உயிர்] and saroopa is meyy [மெய்ய்]. There is a possibility that Sanskrit evolved from Tamil as we can find Tamil to be more primitive. 

Kodi in Sanskrit also means crores. Hence it got misinterpreted so.
They are therefore the 33 crores of gods that we usually get to hear and often are made fun of!! 🤣🤣🤣 - though they are the gods who really exist and stand and stare before us every time day in and day out in our daily life.

If one were to examine Paanini's Ashtadyaayi, the most scientific grammar text ever written in the world, we will find that he uses अल् as the single sutra/code to denote all the vowels and the consonants together. Thus Allah becomes the personification of not only the 33 kodi devataas, but also including the 18 praanaas making it 51 in all.

  1. Nice post. How about this?
    Another interesting fact:
    -> In Hinduism (actual Sanatana Dharma), the most peculiar thing about universe or how it was formed is "Creation of Life", which is through through 'Shiva' and 'Shakti'. Shiva (12 jyotirlingas) and Shakti (9 forms) = 21 ("LIFE").
    -> Islam: Most divine number 786 and how its means OM to some and its this sound from where Universe got created. 7 + 8 + 6 = "21".
    In the famous novel "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" written by Douglas Adams, a supercomputer, Deep Thought which takes 7½ million years to compute and gives the answer, which turns out to be 42. It was designed to answer the ultimate question of Life, Universe and everything. The writer came up with this random number 42 which somehow isn't so random and is just double of our mysterious number embedded in our religions, 21.
    A lot thought and research can be put into this and may be its that we know the answer and the question , just not why it is?
    Also, it may explain why even the most intelligent inventor of all time, Nikola Tesla was so intrigued and obsessed by the number 3 (which is 2+1) too.

    1. I mentioned about 'forms' and not 'parts'. These mahashakti peethas became divine due to various parts of 'sati' fallen on earth when Shiva did devine dance of destruction carrying her burnt body.
      When I say '9 forms' of shakti, I mean each one to be individually complete, be partless reality, just like '12 forms' of shiva, in form of his '12 jyotirlingas'.
      We have 12 shivas and 9 shaktis, giving total possibility of 12x9 number of couples, which is "108" (again a very divine number in various religions)
      But if we look towards 'Singularity' which created universe, we must add both halves, with all their forms, giving 12=9 = 21.
      Food for thought. Any type of comment on it is welcome.
