A Legacy of Service & Spirituality

Ananda Marga ("Path of Bliss") was founded in 1955 by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar) with a vision of self-realization and service to humanity. What began as a spiritual movement in India has grown into a global network spanning over 180 countries.

Today, Ananda Marga encompasses schools, disaster relief operations (AMURT), children's homes, medical clinics, rural development projects, and meditation centers — all guided by the principles of Neohumanism and universal love.
