Spiritual Philosophy

 

“The Supreme Entity is the vastest entity; the ultimate source of all cosmic emanations.
The Supreme Entity, which is difficult to conceive, is the subtlest of the subtle.
He is farther away than any other entity, but again He is nearer than the nearest.
Only the one who looks into the innermost recesses of himself can realize the Supreme Entity.”

Ancient Sanskrit verse

The spiritual philosophy of Ananda Marga recognizes that God is one, and that the universe is the creation of His mental thought-waves. Thus it is said: “Brahma is the absolute truth, and the universe is also truth, but relative.” The diversities of this universe are the transitory transformations of part of His infinite cosmic “body” in a never-ending flow. This implies that life and the universe will never end, but that parts of it are continuously being created from Him and concurrently merging back into Him.

The universe exists as an ever-changing, constantly moving phenomenon. He has transformed a part of Himself into the drama of the world of which we are all a part. But He is also beyond all relativity and transitory existence. He is beyond time, space and mind. He is the Causal Entity. One cannot even begin to imagine Him, let alone speak about Him.

“He is infinite. He has no beginning and no end. He is the unbroken flow of pure and serene bliss stretching from beginninglessness to endlessness.”
_Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Yoga

  • What is Yoga? We must have Yoga in all the three strata of life. If there is Yoga only in the spiritual stratum and there is no Yoga in the psychic and physical strata, what will happen? The very existence of human beings will become unbalanced, human equipoise will be lost. So we must have Yoga, or rather Yoga-oriented movement, in each and every sphere of life.
    So there yoga in 3 strata. Phusical , psychic and spiritual

  • What is Yoga in the spiritual level? It is to become one with Parama Puruśa. When you become one with Parama Puruśa, you are getting everything, but you are losing nothing. You are losing the name of your little “I” and nothing else and in return you are getting the Supreme “I”, the big “I”.

Meditation

The Path to Inner Harmony
Meditation is an active, structured mental process that quietens the mind and harmonises the body, guiding us toward experiencing the innermost consciousness. When body and mind are calmed, we begin to perceive the true essence of our being. Through regular practice, one discovers the spiritual self, develops inner strength, and experiences transformation.

“Knowing oneself is the real knowledge; serving all with the ideation of God the real action; and the vow to please God the real devotion.”
_Shrii Shrii Anandamurti
“The Supreme Consciousness is inside you like butter in milk; churn your mind through meditation and He will appear – you will see that the resplendence of the Supreme Consciousness illumines your whole inner being. He is like a subterranean river in you. Remove the sands of mind and you will find the clear, cool waters within.”
_Shrii Shrii Anandamurti
