OUR MISSION

The beginnings of Ananda Marga take us back to the state of Bihar, India in 1955, to the town of Jamalpur where Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar organized the first chapter of Ananda Marga. His philosophy strongly rejected dogmas, superstitions, and conventions such as the caste system. Sarkar taught spiritual practices for self-development and urged the aspirants to take a strong stand against exploitation and corruption. The motto “Self-realization and service to humanity” became the guiding ideal for thousands of people who were attracted to the universal vision of Ananda Marga.
