Who We Are
Ananda Marga means “The Path of Bliss.”
Ananda Marga is a global spiritual and social service movement founded in 1955 by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, also known by his spiritual name, Shrii Shrii Anandamurti.
Rooted in the ancient tradition of Tantra Yoga, Ananda Marga offers a complete system for the balanced development of body, mind, and spirit. Its practices include meditation, yoga postures, ethical living, self-discipline, vegetarian lifestyle, service, and the cultivation of universal love.
The goal is not only personal peace, but the awakening of human potential and the expression of that realization through service to others.
“Self-realization and service to humanity are the twin ideals of life.”

Founder and Spiritual Teacher
Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar
Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1921–1990), known to his disciples as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, was a spiritual teacher, philosopher, social visionary, composer, and founder of Ananda Marga.
In 1955 he established Ananda Marga, meaning "The Path of Bliss," as a system of spiritual practice and service designed to support the holistic development of human beings. His teachings combine meditation, yoga, ethics, personal discipline, and service to society into a practical path for modern life.
Sarkar taught that every human being possesses vast inner potential and that the purpose of life is to realize one's deeper spiritual nature while contributing to the welfare of all beings. He emphasized the harmonious development of the body, mind, and spirit through regular spiritual practice and compassionate action.
Beyond spirituality, his work extended into philosophy, psychology, education, ecology, economics, linguistics, music, and social theory. He composed more than 5,000 devotional songs known as Prabhat Samgiita, expressing themes of love, devotion, beauty, nature, and the longing for spiritual realization.
