[[Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar]]<ref>[[:wikipedia:Giani Zail Singh|Giani Zail Singh]], seventh president of India has said about Sarkar: "Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar was one of the greatest modern philosophers of India. (Inayatullah, 2002).</ref>, also known as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti,<ref>Between 1955 and 1990, Sarkar wrote many books in English, Bengali and Hindi. He wrote in the name ''Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar'' when treating sociology, economics, philology, and various other subjects; and in the name ''Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti'' when focusing on spiritual topics. Many of his books he gave as dictations; others were compiled from his discourses, some of them in small pocket-books.</ref> started constructing ''Ananda Marga Caryacarya'' in 1956, soon after founding [[Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha]]. Various additional chapters were added by him over the years. | |||
== History == | |||
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. | |||
He wrote the original Caryacarya in 1956, almost immediately after the foundation of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha. Then in the 1960s, 1970's and 1980's, he added directives for the further benefit of followers of the Marga.<ref name="EE">{{cite book|title=[[The Electronic Edition of the Works of P. R.

|} | |||
== Significance == | |||
''Ananda Marga Caryacarya'' is the social code of Ananda Marga, and so Ananda Margiis are bound to observe it. Sarkar in his ''[[Supreme Direction]]'' told— | |||
<blockquote>Without yama-niyama, sádhaná is impossible. Hence it is also the direction of Paramapuruśa to follow yama-niyama. . . </blockquote> | |||
and ''Ananda Marga Caryacarya'' is the scripture that accurately records and described the process of yama-niyama. | |||
== | == Mentions in court cases == | ||
Ananda Marga Carycarya has been mentioned in several court cases—<ref name="Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha Ltd v Toma">{{Cite web|title=Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha Ltd v Toma|url=https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:thnZ_y0d5wMJ:https://wiki.qut.edu.au/download/attachments/65995470/Ananda%2BMarga%2Bv%2BTomar.pdf+ananda+marga+caryacarya+denver+district+court&hl=en&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgzWwlXpI0ZAA07FA39PlsZ3E-DMJSKpnipXzHUv3oGVyLFjo4iEFG0_f8v3hHeZoH7frdZ1idspNzClRmrauvqftPDv-K1L914ZhOW0Qen3phI_9sE3jgtxl9euxMON9H60vjW&sig=AHIEtbT8ZaBZT3ld689rNG0QwC_GZa1AbA|accessdate=12 March 2014}}</ref> | |||
* In Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha Ltd v Tomar, 2010 case, while quoting defendant's comments, it was said— | |||
<blockquote> | |||
# the Ananda Marga religion includes a governance system (Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha or AMPS) which is set out in a sacred text called Carya Carya. | |||
# the 1992 amendment to the AMPS Ltd Memorandum of Association expressly incorporated reference to the Ananda Marga Carya Carya. The Carya Carya creates a system whereby a person cannot be a leader of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha at a local level (here a director or member of AMPS Ltd) if they do not follow the directions of the General Secretary of AMPS Central. | |||
</blockquote> | |||
* In a judgement given by the Supreme Court of India in 2004, it was told—<ref name="SC1">{{Cite web|title=Commissioner Of Police & Ors vs Acharya J. Avadhuta And Anr on 11 March, 2004|url=http://www.indiankanoon.org/doc/1612501/|accessdate=12 March 2014}}</ref> | |||
<blockquote>. . . it appears that Ananda Murti Ji, founder of that order prescribed to perform Tandava dance in public as an essential religious practice in Carya Carya, a book containing the relevant doctrines . . . . . . The relevant question herein for consideration is whether the High Court is correct in it's finding that Tandava dance is an essential and integral part of Ananda Margi faith based on the revised edition of Carya Carya. . . . . . .There is yet another difficulty in accepting the reasoning of the High Court that a subsequent addition in Carya Carya could constitute Tandava dance as essential part of Ananda Margi faith.</blockquote> | |||
* In USA (2011) -District Court, City and County of Denver, Colorado case, ''Ananda Marga Caryacarya'' was prsented as an important exhibit. | |||
