There is in every living being a thirst for limitlessness. Ananda Marga is a spiritual philosophy and mission. It promotes a new humanistic (neo-humanistic) and universal outlook which leads to spiritual fulfillment and universal welfare. Our objective is to help individuals achieve their highest potential and to work towards a society in which the physical, mental and spiritual needs of everyone can be fulfilled. The word "ananda" means "bliss", referring to the exalted inner experience of spiritual realization. "Marga" means "path", hence the name "Ananda Marga" means "The path of bliss."
