Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization (Raja Yoga): God is the Supreme Soul, the Father-a personal God (one having a 'personality'). The correct name for God is Shiva, which basically means "benefactor father, the seed of creation and point-source and implies that there can be no other creator above Him."�¹ He is "the supreme teacher, guide, liberator, friend and purifier of human souls."� Usually the word "Baba,"� meaning "father,"� is joined to the name Shiva by true devotees.

Though omniscient and omnipotent, God is not omnipresent. To describe him this way would mean that God permeates all things. Therefore, "if God were omnipresent He would be responsible for good and evil."�² The doctrinal explanation of the relationship between God and the universe is this: "Human souls created the present human systems, not God"�If God had really created everything, then my woes would also be His will-and we know that cannot be the case."�³ So the pantheistic union of the Creator with the creation is not accepted in this worldview.

God does not possess a subtle body, neither is he formless. He is light, an infinitesimal point of radiant light residing in one location. However, God is not light-years away from human beings. He can be contacted as quickly as a prayerful thought passing through the mind of a worshipper. Only in a figurative sense does God dwell in the heart of human beings-through love. His real home is in the Soul World. What human beings perceive as 'God within' is really only their collective impressions of him. God is changeless and his attributes are constant and perfect.
