SABBATH

Just a guess only!! 

Looking forward to go on a month's long Sabbath from the Internet. While thinking so, my attention was drawn to finding out what is the conventional meaning of the word.

I found out :

Google Translate tells that this Word :

Sabbath

is used to denote the traditional 2 days'  observance of religious ritual of fasting and abstaining from the other worldly activities, on Friday onto Saturday (in a certain week in some certain month of the year as per the Jew calender).

The Christian tradition follows a similar practice on Sunday.

While going occasionally through the Indian PanchAngaM पञ्चाङ्गम् I noticed there is a stipulated time-period (maybe in every month) that  is called:

सर्वार्थ सिद्धि योग.

For example on the 3rd of October 2025, this was from the 03:00 a.m. to Sunrise,

On the Sunday 19th October 2025 this was from Sunrise to Sunset, the whole day.

I have been wondering since long when it came to mind that the word "Sabbath" might have roots in the Sanskrit word :

सर्वार्थ!

As both these words so closely resemble with one another in the pronounciation and the meaning also.
