In the word `Bhagavan' - `bhaga' signifies the six qualities of God. These are: jnana (wisdom), vairagyam (dispassion) kirti (fame), Sri (prosperity or wealth, divine aisvarya), sakti or bala (omnipotence) , and dharma (righteousness) .
According to the Prasnopanishad, there are fifteen kalas or rays of God. These are: prana (life), faith, sky, air, fire, water, earth, senses, mind, food, strength, penance, mantra (mystic formula), karma (action) and name.

Where there righteousness in the heart there is beauty in the character
When there is beauty in the character there is Harmony at home
When there is harmony at home there is Order in the nation
When there is Order in the nation there is Peace in the world
I have come across the meaning of 'Bhagavan' before, but since I didn't recall it, it was nice to be reminded again of the full significance of this beautiful word. Thanks.
