Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, the founder of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, constructed the Ananda Marga trishastra – that is, its dharma shastra (spiritual treatise), its darshan shástra (philosophical treatise) and its samája shástra (social treatise) – from the perspective of Ananda Marga’s monistic philosophy. Parts 1, 2 and 3 of Ananda Marga Caryacarya (caryácarya means "code") constitute the samaja shastra. Part 1 sets forth, among other things, guidelines for social functions and ceremonies, such as those for naming an infant, for entering a new house, for giving an invitation, for marriage, for cremation, for tree planting, and for a number of socio-spiritual festivals. | Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, the founder of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, constructed the Ananda Marga trishastra – that is, its dharma shastra (spiritual treatise), its darshan shástra (philosophical treatise) and its samája shástra (social treatise) – from the perspective of Ananda Marga’s monistic philosophy.
