ArchivesRe: actually Chrisell...
in reply to a message by Lala
You're welcome.
Actually that is Bengali, and it should be তন্ময় ভট্টাচার্য্য, but the message board decides to truncate my name! A message board on names, does not allow my name :-(
Oh, and Ish means to possess, and Isha's root meaning is possessor. It is correctly applied to God as the ultimate possessor ... IshAvAsyamidaMsarvvaM etc. And you are also right in pointing out that the meaning `God' is much more recognizable in most modern Indian languages, at least when the word is used alone unconjoined.
