The Concept of the Supreme Soul in Shrimad Bhagawad Geeta and in the View of Brahma Kumaris
Full text linkThe identity of God, in the mind of most theists and believers is vague. Most people consider the mystery about God as insoluble. Even the sages in the ancient past, who spent most of their time in the search of metaphysical truth, have said that God is beyond the reach of human understanding. beyond human perception, unknowable Not this Not this. These are some of the words they have been using to express the inability of human mind to comprehend God. God cannot be subjected to investigation by human senses or the scientific instruments as the material objects of the phenomenal world, it is not beyond the ability of a human being to get a reasonably accurate idea and an enjoyable and fair experience of divine virtues, attributes and acts of God. It would be proper to add here that the metaphysical habit of considering God to be infinite in size is in itself based on misconception and yet, those, who theorise that God is beyond human comprehension, are not prepared to accept their this corollary when they are told that they too have not properly comprehended.The word ‘God’ is now-a-days used in several meanings but we consider it etymologically, it means: One who is extremely good. In the word ‘God’, ‘G’, for the Greatest, ‘O’ for ‘Only One’ and ‘D’, for Dazzling Divinity’, in other words ‘G’ stands for one who is Self-Existent, ‘O’ signifies the Perfect One and ‘D’ denotes its brilliancy or its self-luminous nature. Hence, the word ‘God’ means a Person who is Self-existent and is Eternal and of the nature of Light. So This article helps to realize the real identity of Supreme Soul, the real truth abut the Supreme Soul which is in Shrimad Bhagawad Gita and The Brahma Kumaris used for Meditation which is real one

Regarding gender majority were boys in both control 60% and experimental group 75%. Regarding behavioural response to IV cannulation majority 95% were having cry in control group, whereas majority 55% were having fear in experimental group. The level of pain of both control and experimental group was assessed by using Wong Baker’s Faces Pain rating scale. The statistical significance was assessed, student ‘t’ test was used to test the effectiveness of nursing intervention between the group and it was 2.135 and was found significant at p<0.05 level of significance. This indicated that the nursing intervention was significantly effective to reduce the level of pain during intravenous cannulation among the experimental group. There was no significant association found between the demographic variables and level of pain. Thus, the study highlights that therapeutic play is effective in reduction of pain during intravenous cannulation
