About

Ananda means “bliss” and Marga means “path.”So Ananda Marga means “Path of Bliss.”Bliss is infinite happiness. It is the fundamental desire of human beings. “There is in the living being a thirst for limitlessness.”The philosophy of Ananda Marga is one of universalism. It is an all-embracing outlook, recognising God as the one limitless supreme consciousness, with all beings of the universe part of the one cosmic family.It recognises that a balance is needed between the spiritual and mundane aspects of existence, and that neither one should be neglected at the expense of the other. Hence the goal of Ananda Marga is “Self-realisation and the welfare of the universe.”Humans can never be satisfied by limited things. So how are we to attain infinite happiness? By expanding our awareness to infinity; by transforming our individual limited experience into the cosmic experience of the unlimited.As an organisation, Ananda Marga has a global network of centres in virtually every country of the world. Its activities encompass a wide range of projects for the welfare of humanity, animals, plants and the whole planet. These include; yoga and meditation centres, schools, children’s homes, food distribution centres, disaster relief, medical centres and community development projects.
