'''Parama Purusa''' ([[Roman Samskrta transliteration|Roman Saḿskrta]]: Parama Puruśa, Devanagari: परम पुरुष, Bengali: পরম পুরুষ) or '''Paramapurusa''' | '''Parama Purusa''' ([[Roman Samskrta transliteration|Roman Saḿskrta]]: Parama Puruśa, Devanagari: परम पुरुष, Bengali: পরম পুরুষ) or '''Paramapurusa''' is an oft-used name or description of the Supreme Being or Supreme Consciousness in [[Ananda Marga]] philosophy.<ref>{{cite book|last=Anandamurti|first=Shrii Shrii|title=Subhasita Samgraha Part 19|publisher=Ananda Marga Publications|authorlink=Parama Purusa}}</ref> According to [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]], Parama Puruśa is the human being's ultimate object of devotion, being the creator, sustainer, and destroyer of the universe. He is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. He is ever-blissful and the only abiding friend one may have in life. | ||
In the "Supreme Direction" (also known as "Supreme Command"), Sarkar states that one should regularly perform ''sádhaná'' (spiritual practices, primarily meditation) twice a day so that the thought of Parama Puruśa will arise in the mind at the time of death and liberation may thereby be attained. He also told that failure to do such ''sádhaná'' might result in a very slow spiritual progress, requiring many, many lifetimes and hence millions of years of animalistic existence. | In the "Supreme Direction" (also known as "Supreme Command"), Sarkar states that one should regularly perform ''sádhaná'' (spiritual practices, primarily meditation) twice a day so that the thought of Parama Puruśa will arise in the mind at the time of death and liberation may thereby be attained.
