Ramallah,Ramadi,Rambogatan,Golgatha

These are names of places among others which have always made an interest in me.The first 3 names should have some kind of link with Ram of Ramayana.
Golgatha its the place where Christians believe Jesus Christ was crucified. The place also tells us the 'gatha' or 'gata' which must be from the Sanskrit root of 'gata' meaning the street as in 'Kaaligata' or in Swedish too 'gata' still means a street as in Rambogatan.

The word Adi or Aadi aadi in தமிழ் (அகர முதல எழுத்தெல்லாம் ஆதி பகவன் முதற்றே உலகு) means 'origin' or 'original' and interesting to see this word comes in religions like Sikhism (Adigranth) or Jainism (Adinath). And this bring another word of interest 'Nath' or in தமிழ் as நாதன் .(Will write on this on some other time.)

These are only giving some proofs to what Kanchi Mahaswamigal in தெய்வத்தின் குரல் says as உலகம் பரவிய மதம்.

More over Ram name also comes in many biblical references like Haram or Hiram.
