Ananda Sutram is the book of short sutras given by Reverend Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji. The mission library records five chapters, together with a word-for-word rendering of the sutras. A sutra here is a short aphorism, and the book sets the philosophy of Ananda Marga in that form. The five chapters carry the outline, from the nature of the world to the aim of spiritual practice.
Readers meet the same questions that open the elementary philosophy, now pressed into a few lines. Dharma, the Cosmic Entity, the world, and the human mind all have a place in those lines. The book also holds the conduct and the social thinking that belong with the inner practice. Because the lines are short, a teacher usually reads them with the student.
This page names the book and the shape of it. It leaves the sutras in the book. A qualified Acharya explains them in person. The centres at Cranbourne North and Kingston can arrange that reading.
The book sits with his works on spiritual practice. Self-realization and service to all is the path the sutras serve. From this page the reader can return to the preceptor. The word-for-word rendering is there so a student can see how each sutra is built.
