Parama Purusa (Roman Sanskrit: Parama Puruśa, Devanagari: परम पुरुष, Bengali: পরম পুরুষ) or Paramapurusa (Roman Sanskrit: Paramapuruśa, Devanagari: परमपुरुष, Bengali: পরমপুরুষ) , according to Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar and Ananda Marga philosophy, is the Supreme Being or Supreme Consciousness and human soul's principal and ultimate object of love, faith and devotion. According to Sarkar, Parama Purusa is the creator and the sustainer of the universe. He is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. He is ever-blissful and the "only and the best friend" a person may have here in this world, or anywhere. Sarkar described individual human life and as "temporary", "evanescent" and "unreal". According to him, man's real and only abode is Parama Purusa. In the "Supreme direction" or "Supreme command" too Sarkar suggested to perform sadhana twice a day so that the thought of Parama Purusa certainly arises in someone's mind at the time of death and he gets liberation easily. He also told disregarding this direction will lead to suffering of the torments of animal life for millions and millions of years.

A huge number of songs of Prabhat Samgiita are dedicated to and written on Parama Purusa. In all these songs Sarkar glorified Parama Purusa and showed his deep love, respect and reverence for Him. For example, in the very first song of Prabhat Samgiita, Sarkar requested Parama Purusa to lead him "unto the fountain of effulgence", as he could "no longer bear the pain of darkness". While describing the meaning of the song Sarkar iterated "Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) is the real friend." In the song number 73, Sarkar stated, he was moving along in life only to attain Him (Bengali: তোমায় পেতে আলোর পথে চলি আমি) and he requested Parama Purusa not to forget him.

In his discourses too, Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar
