Ananda Sutram is the basic scripture of modern Yoga composed in Sanskrit by Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar (1921–1990) in 1961. In the best traditions of sutra literature, the sutras (eighty-five in number), serve with breathtaking conciseness, as a framework for the entire Ananda Marga ideology. Ananda Sutram means, in part, “aphorisms leading to ananda, divine bliss”. The sutra form has been valued over the centuries as a powerful tool for communicating a deep philosophy in a condensed, memorable way. The literal meaning of sutra is “thread”, implying that numerous jewels of thought can be strung on a single such thread.
Herein Shrii Shrii Anandamurti has, in a few vivid strokes, presented humanity with original concepts of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and macrohistory. 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, offering the world a well-knit and progressive social system based on social and economic justice. A healthy society is described as a progressive utilization momentum in which the basic necessities of all are met and the standard of living is progressively improved "for the good and well-being of all".
It consists of five chapters describing the universe, the mind, the spirit and the foundations of a healthy society.
