'''[[Ananda Marga]]''' ([[Roman Sanskrit]]: Ánanda Márga, Sanskrit: {{lang|sa|आनन्द मार्ग}} ''{{IAST|ānanda mārga}}'' "The Path of Bliss", also spelled ''Anand Marg'' and ''Ananda Marg'') is the comprehensive spiritual path (set of spiritually based or spiritually oriented practices) prescribed by [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]] aka Shrii Shrii Anandamurti.
'''''[[Shabda Cayanika]]''''' (''cover pictured'') is a series of books in the form of an etymological encyclopedia that assembles a vast number of discourses given in his native Bengali language by the philosopher and social reformer [[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]]. The total number of volumes of the collection is twenty-six but only five have been published in English.


Just as the [[wikipedia:Noble Eightfold Path|eight-fold path of Buddhism]] is inspired by what Buddhists refer to as the [[wikipedia:Four Noble Truths|Four Noble Truths]], Ananda Marga is also guided by a well-developed conceptual framework. This is set out in the five chapters of Sarkar's [[Ananda Sutram]]. In philosophical terms, the stance of Ananda Marga is best described as ''advaetadvaetádvaetaváda'' (non-dualistic dualistic non-dualism). Originally and ultimately, everything is the singular consciousness.  
Since 1985 the author began to give the speeches that were later transcribed and called ''Shabda Cayanika''. As stated by the publisher on the book's preface: "Ostensibly, ''Shabda Cayaniká'' is a series devoted to the linguistics and philology of the Bengali language, but in reality it is much more than that. The author uses the platform of the word as a point of departure to take the reader on a journey through all the varied landscapes of human knowledge history, geography, medicine, science, art, religion, philosophy, etc. and in the process adds the indelible stamp of his own unique intellect, enriching our experience with new ideas and enabling us to see our human heritage in a way we have never been able to before."


In practical terms, the stance of Ananda Marga is rational and pragmatic. Ananda Marga rejects dogma and ritualistic worship, including religious prayer, in favor of subjective approach through objective adjustment. To enhance devotion (love for the Supreme), Ananda Marga prescribes various yogic and tantric practices for physical, mental, and spiritual development, which Sarkar encapsulated in his [[Ananda Marga#Discipline|Sixteen Points]].
