A Few Problems Solved
A Few Problems Solved is a set of nine volumes of discourses given by Reverend Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji. Each volume is a collection of talks, and the talks move from one subject to another. Art, history, language, society, and spiritual practice sit in the same life, and he treats them as one movement.
Part 1 takes up the meaning of literature and the relation of Tantra to the older civilisation of India. Part 2 asks how a person can want progress in every sphere of life, and how a social change moves through a claim, its opposite, and a new synthesis. That same volume treats human society as one movement, then turns to land and labour, and to the moral principles that should hold a people together.
Part 3 asks whether weapons can end a civilisation, what a society actually is, and how song, dance, and instrumental music belong in a civilised life. It also follows the physical and psychic development of human beings, and the history of Bengal and of Rarh. Part 4 is the long volume. It takes up the expanding microcosm, dogma and intellect, art and science, and a subjective approach lived through an objective adjustment.
The same volume goes on to plants, animals, and human beings, to the histories of Mithila, Maithili, and Bhojpuri, and to what history itself ought to record. Part 5 speaks of festivals, dogma, neohumanism, and the place of inanimate things in that philosophy. It also treats rivers and civilisation, education, and the three expressions of life, which are physical, psychic, and spiritual.
Part 6 looks at the future of civilisation, at real progress, and at a universality wider than race, language, religion, or local culture. The later volumes continue in the same way. A discourse names one problem, then sets it inside the larger path of Self-realization and service. The title matches the form of the talks. He takes up a problem in each talk and carries it through. A qualified Acharya still gives the personal practice. This page only says what the nine volumes are about.

A General Guidebook for Tattvikas
A General Guidebook for Tattvikas is a short book by Reverend Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji for the local spiritual workers called Tattvikas. It is one volume, set out in fifteen points. He begins with the old quarrel between a one-sided spiritualism and a one-sided materialism. He treats the material side as the one that has grown strong in the present age. The path he wants is a blend, because he takes matter as the cruder showing of spirit, and he keeps that spirit inside the work of the world.
That quarrel, in his account, runs through every part of human life. A person who gains some light in meditation and then ignores society has stepped off the path, even when the withdrawal looks holy. Tattvikas are therefore asked to be active and energetic. Their work has two sides, a practical side and an intellectual side. The practical side has three fields, which are relief, the welfare of women, and socio-economic reform.
Relief, in this book, includes nursing the sick, the last rites, a water supply, and the building of roads. The workers do that work themselves, and they also move other people to join it. On women, he treats their social position as a duty of the Tattvikas, to be changed by teaching and by a new social arrangement. On the economy, he says the wealth of the world is common property and must be used properly, with a just adjustment between people.
On the intellectual side, social reform comes first. He names two roots of social failure, which are superstition and economic interest. Dowry, in his account, has both a superstitious side and an economic cause, so he treats speeches as insufficient while that economic cause remains. Caste, he says, is held mainly by superstition, and also by a smaller economic interest that the society has come to accept. The last point asks for a scientific approach to education and reform, which means naming the problem and then finding how it can be solved.
The book is a charge to those workers. The personal mantra stays with the Acharya, who gives it in person.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya
Ananda Marga Caryacarya is the social and spiritual code of Ananda Marga, given by Reverend Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji in three volumes. He set the path out as three treatises, one for spiritual practice, one for philosophy, and one for society. Caryacarya is the social treatise, and it also holds the common daily practice. Part 1 begins with the naming and the first feeding of an infant, and then with initiation. From there it sets out sadhana, the roles of Tattvika, Acharya, and Purodha, and the relation of a person with their Acharya.
It gives the forms of salutation, the collective meditation called Dharma Cakra, personal study, and the larger gathering called Dharma Mahacakra. The same volume walks through the life of a householder, from the foundation of a house to entering that house, planting a tree, starting a journey, marriage, and the birthday. It also sets dress, the social relation of men and women, livelihood, the livelihood of women, economic policy, and inheritance. Later chapters of Part 1 take up science and society, social punishment, the disposal of the dead, the shraddha, widows, and the boards through which the mission is carried.
Part 2 is the conduct book. It returns to sadhana, the body, and society, then gives the fifteen rules of behaviour, the conduct rules for practitioners, and the Sixteen Points. Those points are the daily standard for how a person eats, bathes, studies, serves, and sits for meditation. Part 3 is the practical manual of health and yoga. It sets out bathing, the offering made to the ancestors, eating, fasting, and taking the air.
It then sets physical restraint and general rules of health. The last chapters of Part 3 name the yoga practices, which are asanas, mudras and bandhas, and pranayama. The procedures, the postures, and the personal mantra stay with the Acharya. Taken together, the three volumes are how he wanted the path lived, from the infant to the last rites, and from the daily conduct to the society. A qualified Acharya teaches that personal practice in person.
Library
Ananda Marga Elementary Philosophy
Ananda Marga Elementary Philosophy is a short book of nine questions by Reverend Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji. It is the plain entrance to the philosophy, written so a reader can begin here before the longer series on ideology and way of life. The first question asks what dharma is. He treats a human being as someone who can tell good from harm, and as someone who will look for a way out of sorrow. The second question asks what the Cosmic Entity is. The third asks what this world is.
The fourth question turns inward and asks who a person is, and what a person is. The fifth asks what relation a person has with the universe and with that Cosmic Entity. The sixth asks how human beings should live in this world. In that chapter the aim of creation is the liberation of each unit being. Chasing wealth and position, he teaches, leaves the search for happiness unfinished. The seventh question names the aim of humanity in the same direction, with the unit consciousness moving toward the Supreme.
The eighth question asks why intuitional practice is necessary, because a philosophy that stays in talk leaves the path unfinished. The ninth asks why people are afraid of that practice. The book is therefore a sequence. It starts from dharma, passes through the world and the self, and ends at the practice. Readers at the centres can begin with these nine questions before they open the longer discourses. The practice itself is still given in person by a qualified Acharya. The nine questions are the map, and the teacher walks the person across it.

Ananda Marga Ideology and Way of Life in a Nutshell
Ananda Marga Ideology and Way of Life in a Nutshell is eleven volumes of discourses by Reverend Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji. The series is the longer statement of the ideology, on what a human life is for, and on how the practice and the society belong together. Part 1 opens with how people should live, what humanity is aiming at, and why intuitional practice is needed even when people fear it. It then turns to the evolution of society, to the principles he names Prakrti tattva and Omkar tattva, and to the difference between a base truth and a relative truth.
The same volume explains action and its result, which he calls karma and karmaphala, and places spiritual practice inside the cosmic science. Later parts stay with that science. They take up devotion in its formal shape and in its pure shape, Bhagavata Dharma, and ideation on Brahma. They also set karma sannyasa beside devotion, and they ask what it means to know the Lord and to be freed from the fetters that this knowledge cuts.
Several discourses treat the microcosm and the macrocosm, the small mind and the Cosmic mind, and the attraction that draws the one toward the other. He returns often to the chariot and the charioteer, to matter and spirit, and to this world and the next, so that the philosophy stays tied to how a person lives. Desire and detachment, and the choice between what is merely pleasant and what is truly beneficial, are part of that same teaching.
One volume sets out five kinds of conscience, the form and the formless, and the adoration of the Supreme. Another follows struggle and progress, cosmic attraction, the proper use of the force he calls shakti, and the ascent of the mind. Tantra, in these talks, is the practice itself, taking in cognitive force, psychic practice, and the science of action. The last volumes come back to mantra, to relativity and the Supreme, and to Parama Purusa and His creation.
Read as a set, the eleven volumes are the ideology. The personal mantra is still given by an Acharya. This page only says what those volumes are about.
