Bhagavan 

Share definition Flag
A Sanskrit term describing the absolute, highest manifestation of Transcendence.

Although traditionally translated into English as "God", this term, "Bhagavan", is used by many who wish to distance themselves from the jingoistic uses of that traditional term, e.g., "God bless the U.S.A", "God is on our side", "My God is better than your god", "In God we trust", "God damn you to hell".

It is also used to differentiate between a spiteful, smiteful, jealous deity (as mentioned in the Bible) with an all-blissful Deity (as mentioned in the quintessential Hindu scripture, the Bhagavata Purana).
Far, far above the highest heaven is the abode of Bhagavan (Krishna).

Bhagavad Gita 

Share definition Flag
The Poetry by God, who descended on Earth when there was trouble. Essentially, a book describing how a soul can elevate to the Path of Krsna(/Krishna/Christ/God/Allah) Consciousness. Also called the "Hindu Bible."
A: I was just reading the Bhagavad Gita. In chapter 4, the 7th verse is thus:
Yadaa Yadaa He Dharmasya
Glaanir Bhavati Bhaarata
Abhyutthaanam Adharmasya
Tadaatmaanam Srijaamyaham

Can you explain me what that means?

B: It tells you what God said unto Arjuna. He (God) said,
"Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practices, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion -- at that time I descend Myself."

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
