by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Ánanda Sútram means "aphorisms leading to ánanda, divine bliss."  The sútra form has been valued over the centuries as a powerful tool for communicating a deep philosophy in a condensed, memorable way.  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.  He has set out for the first time a socio-economic approach conceived in the light of a theistic philosophy, blending subjective approach with objective adjustment, that offers the world a well-knit and progressive social system based on economic justice.
