In Hinduism, some time large number of people get confused on words like Bhagwan, Ishwar and Parmehswar. Some time they think that Bhagwan, Ishwar and Parmehswar all are synonyms. But that's not true, actually all these three are much different in meaning. In vedas, upanishad and Puranas, meaning is written for these word. Even these words also describes their name self. Only need to under stand the word and conjugational meaning of word. Here, Bhagwan means the great person who born from Vagina. In Sanskrit, Vagina is also called as Bhag. Normally, all human being and other living creature born through Vagina (Bhag). But among these normal human being and living creature who ever is great and extraordinary. That person is depicted as Bhagwan. That why, Krishna, Ram, Parshuram are depicted as Bhagwan. In puranas, it has been described that after death, soul is taking birth in different yonis. These yonis are described as 1 lakh yonis are there. Here yoni mean taking birth in any form of living creature either human, fly, mosquitos, dog, horse or snake etc. The creature who have not born from Vagina but having human body somehow and having extraordinary things are also depicted as Bhagwan like narshing and Varaha.
And meaning of Ishwar is different from Bhagwan. Ishwar means master in some part. Ishwar means to control something and having power to control that area. For example, Agni is god of fire can be called as ishwar because Agni can contolled and ignite fire. Pawan is god of Air, is similarly may called as ishwar because he has controlled and regulate any kind of air. Other ishwar are Kuber (God of wealth), Yama (God of death), Shani (God of justice).
Now we will focus on meaning of Parmeshwar. Parmeshwara means master of all master. This is the supreme soul. He is real almighty. All these ishwaras means master of some parts are controlled by only one great master. That single great master is depicted as Parmehswar. There is two form of a great master means Parmeshwar. One is nirankar form means without shape and second is saakar form means with shape. Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are the saakar forms of great master (Parmeshwar). They are not depicted as Bhagwan. But some people's describes them as Bhagwan, even these three having divine body. These three never take birth at any time and they will never die at any time. Hence they are called as Parmeshwar. All bhagwanas and ishwaras have to changes there body at specific interval of time. But Parmeshwar never do this at any time.

What is actual meaning of Ahimsa (Non Violence)
In whole world, india is famous for adopting the policy for Ahimsa. Many Philosopher and thinkers give their view points related to Non violence. They says that india got independence under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, who follow the path of non violence. For the independence of India, different peoples give their different point of view. Here that is not the matter of discussion here. But we will discuss on path of non violence. As you all know, Gandhiji had an only weapon to defeat Britishers.
In ashtanga yog ( eight part of yog), Ahimsa (non violence ) is considered under Niyam, second part of Yog. In vedas and upanishad, Jain and Buddhism books, it is advise to obey Ahimsa (non violence). Generally, it is considered that not killing any living things is called Ahimsa (non violence). But it is not true completely.
According to dharma shastra and niti shastra, killing any living being without any reason is know as Hinsa (Violence). With some most essential reason, kill living beings can't be called as Hinsa (Violence) either for treatment, to safe owns life or anothers life, or to safe the life of peoples. Ahimsa taught by Mahatma Gandhi is a partial and one part of understanding. Hinduism don't supports such types of non violence. Suppose a highly carnivorous animal like Tiger, Lion, Panther, Crocodile or python attack on any human being. Is it possible to show non violence thing to those highly carnivorous animal. So for saving the life of own, that men must kill that high carnivorous animal. That is the only dharma (Duty). But there if some is killing goat, rabbit, bird for medicinal purpose. Then she should kill that animal or bird on behalf of the dharma niti. For survival purpose, if some one is not getting any food to consume. So he can kill and feed on that animal meat. Dharma says to safe owns life first and then after other.
Krishna, Ved vyasa, Ram, Vashistha and even Parshuram didnt follow the path of Ahimsa as described by Mahatma Gandhi. While Lord Krishna was know as Yogeshwar means the greatest among the yogi. He had killed many asuras (Demon) and Human being for protection society. As I said above, Ahimsa (Non Violence) must be followed to get success in yogik path, other wise no can get success. So it is the matter to evaluate that then how Yogeshwar Krishna, Ram and Parshuram get yogic achievement, because they have killed many demons and Human to protect society. Definitely they had followed the path of Ahimsa (Non Violence). But not that type of Ahimsa as described and taught by Mahatma Gandhi. Ahimsa as suggested by Gandhiji made weak to Hinduism and Indian society. So don't get confuse for Ahimsa (Non Violence).
