About

BabaAnanda Marga (Sanskrit meaning ‘Path of Bliss’) was started in 1955 in India by its spiritual founder P.R. Sarkar (also known as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, or more simply as “Baba”)

The aim of Ananda Marga is to help individuals achieve complete self-realisation and to build a social structure in which the physical, mental and spiritual needs of all people can be fulfilled.

As an organization, Ananda Marga has a global network of centers 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 centers, schools, children’s homes, food distribution centers, disaster relief, medical centers and community development projects. Emphasis is placed on meeting the needs of the local people and assisting them in developing their personal and social resources for the prosperity of all.
