Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti’s dedication for the welfare of humanity made him create a social theory, Progressive Utilization Theory of PROUT.

PROUT stands for rational distribution, development and maximum utilization of all the resources of this world – physical, mental and spiritual – all has to be taken care of. This theory will create harmony and peace in the society, a society where exploitation and corruption will not exist.

In order to satisfy and develop all human potentialities of the world, Ananda Marga has become a many-branched organization providing guidelines for all aspects of life – education, relief, welfare, medical, arts, etc.

All the philosophy and spiritual practices he gave have meditation as their foundation. Though this is a short explanation of the organization he has created, we can understand a little about what he is. He has not done this to gain some personal benefit, but his constant love and selfless care for the world family has made him sacrifice himself to the task of changing the whole world to become a better place for us to live. His only desire has been to guide and help all towards liberation, the state he always dwells in.

However Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti has received much opposition in India, to the extent of persecution by the government.

This collection of a selected few of Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti’s discourses is but a drop in the ocean of his wisdom. These articles were selected in order to give the reader a touch of his social teachings, and as an inspiration to us all to make the greatest use of our human form for the development of ourselves, as well as our human society.
