Spiritual Philosophy by P. R. Sarkar / Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti

       
  A Guide to Human Conduct
Herein the author explains Yama and Niyama, traditionally-accepted cardinal principles of morality, in a modern way, and at the same time places those principles on a clear scientific basis.
 
       
  Ánanda Márga: Elementary Philosophy
This was the first-published of the more than 250 books of Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti, and continues to hold its place as an introduction to his entire philosophy. Its speciality is the use of formal, though simple, logic to make an utterly convincing case for the existence of Supreme Consciousness and the need of spiritual practice
 
       
  Ananda Marga Ideology and Way of Life (series)
An arrangement of the major spiritual discourses of Shrii Shrii A'nandamu'rti (known as Dharma Maha'cakra, or DMC, discourses). The 11 parts in English of this series include most DMC discourses through 1971, plus a few discourses that were not DMC's.
 
       
  Ananda Marga Philosophy in a nutshell (series)
The author's most essential spiritual discourses, conveniently compiled in eight parts.
 
       
  Ánanda Sútram
In the best traditions of sútra literature, the eighty-five sútras of this book serve, with breathtaking conciseness, as a framework for the entire Ananda Marga ideology. In this book the author has in a few vivid strokes presented humanity with original concepts of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and macro-history.
 
       
  Ananda Vacanámrtam (series)
The Ánanda Vacanámrtam ("Blissful Discourses") series assembles all the known General Darshan talks, sometimes delivered in a very intimate way to relatively small groups of devotes.

  Discourses on Krsna and The Giita
This volume complements Discourses on the Mahabharata and Namami Krsnasundaram.
 
       
  Discourses on Tantra 1
In this first volume, the author discusses Tantra's soaring philosophy, investigates the science of mantra and kundalinii, and rediscovers pieces of Tantra's forgotten history.
 
       
  Discourses on Tantra 2
The author explains what sets Tantra apart from any other spiritual path - and discloses much about the actual practice of Tantra.
 
       
  Discourses on the Mahábhárata
Mahábhárata literally means "Great India". Hence Mahábhárata became the name both for a campaign led by Krsna to unify India, and for the epic composition about that campaign. Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti gives a unique analysis of the historical context and of some of the key figures, including Krsna himself.
 
       
  Karma Yoga
In this book the author clarifies the age old question of action and reaction. He argues that you are free to act but you are bound to undergo the reaction. The moment you do an act you acquire the possibility of its reaction.
 
       
  Namah Shiváya Shántáya
Shiva the historical personality has long been lost to view, hidden under layer upon layer of myth. Here the author removes the veils of seven thousand years of time to reveal Shiva the great spiritualist, Shiva the humanitarian, Shiva the pioneer of arts and science.
 
       
  Namámi Krsnasundaram
Here the author compares different philosophies to the life and personality of Lord Krsna. The author sets out the two distinct facets of Lord Krsna's personality: Vraja Krsna, the lord of devotion, and Párthasárathi Krsna, the lord of karma yoga, ceaselessly engaged in the battle against injustice.
 
       
  Subhásita Samgraha (series)
The Subhásita Samgraha ("Collected Discourses") series assembles all the Dharma Mahácakra (DMC) discourses given by Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti. Dharma Mahácakras, large spiritual congregations addressed by Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti, were held in cities and towns all over the world.
 
       
  Yoga Psychology
The science of psychology, as studied and practiced within the traditions of yoga and Tantra, begins with our cakras (or plexi, psycho-spiritual centers) and the various glands associated with each cakra. The development of these structures is influenced by all our past actions and by a range of environmental factors that, like the mind itself, go far beyond what is conventionally contemplated by psychology.

  Human Society
In Part 1 the author demonstrates at the outset that society must be built on a foundation of morality and must move progressively forward in order to establish itself in universal humanism. Then from the vantage point of that universal humanism, the author examines different issues of education, social justice, and the judicial system; and probes the impacts that practitioners of various professions may have, for better or for worse, on the social body as a whole, depending on the expansiveness of their minds.  In Part 2 the author introduces his theory of history and social change. Economist Ravi Batra has based his best-selling economic books on the Law of the Social Cycle as explained in this book. Historians and futurists are calling this a landmark work in understanding the process of social change.

Over the next thirty years the author elaborated Prout in great detail, giving numerous discourses on history, economics, sociology, politics, ethics, linguistics, culture and civilization. This series assembles in 21 volumes all the author's discourses related to Prout.
