People hold many ideas about God, shaped by family, culture and personal experience. Rajyoga, as taught by the Brahma Kumaris, offers a specific understanding of the Supreme Soul and invites a personal, experiential connection rather than a ritual.
This article explains that understanding in simple words and shares a short remembrance practice. The free 7-day Rajyoga course in English, starting Thursday, 12 November 2026, from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM IST, introduces this subject after the topic of the soul.
A point of light, like the soul
In Brahma Kumaris teaching, the Supreme Soul is described as a point of light, similar in form to human souls but different in qualities. Where human souls change through many experiences, the Supreme Soul is described as constant: always peaceful, loving and pure, and never taking a body of His own.
The Brahma Kumaris also use the name Shiv for the Supreme Soul, meaning the benefactor. Their course outline lists His name, form, abode, qualities and role as subjects of the foundation course.
The ocean of qualities
The Supreme Soul is often described as the ocean of peace, love, knowledge and bliss. The idea is not that God is distant or frightening, but that He is a source from which the soul can receive these qualities when it remembers Him with attention and love.
Relationship rather than ritual
Rajyoga meditation does not use idols, chanting or offerings. Its focus is remembrance: turning the mind towards the Supreme Soul as one would think of a loved one. Practitioners often relate to Him as Father, Teacher, Friend or Companion, choosing the relationship that feels most natural.
This makes the practice portable. It can be done quietly at home, during a short break at work or at the start of the day.
A simple remembrance practice
- Settle as a soul: “I am a peaceful soul, a point of light.”
- Turn your attention upward and beyond, towards the Supreme Soul, a point of light full of peace.
- Hold one quality, for example peace, and feel it flowing towards you, the soul.
- Rest in that feeling for two or three minutes.
- Return to the room with one intention for the day.
If remembrance feels unfamiliar, begin with the soul practice in our guide Who Am I? Soul consciousness in Rajyoga.
Respecting different beliefs
The course is open to people of all backgrounds. Participants are free to compare these ideas with their own understanding and to take what is useful. Asking questions is part of learning.
Questions about the Supreme Soul
Is this the same as the God of my religion?
The Brahma Kumaris describe the Supreme Soul as the one God whom many traditions remember in different ways. You are welcome to explore this view at your own pace.
What if I do not feel anything at first?
That is common. Remembrance, like any relationship, deepens with time and regular attention.
Do I need to visit a centre?
No. The free English course is held online, so you can learn from home.
