The System of Invitation is the 22nd chapter of Ananda Marga Caryacarya Part 1 written by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti.[1]

Chapter synopsis

Invitation procedure

In this chapter Shrii Shrii Anandamurti told, the proper representative of a family to invite their guests is the head of a family, or the spouse, or their brothers/sisters, or in their absence the sons and daughters. As far as possible, the invitation should be extended at a person’s residence. If the inviter happens to meet the person to be invited outside the latter’s residence, the invitation can be delivered then and there.

Gift guidelines

Sarkar instructed if someone desires to offer gifts in response to an invitation, the best gifts are flowers, but even flowers are not essential. If someone has an intense desire to offer a special present, it should be done either in the absence of the other invited guests or on some other day, otherwise it will be considered an antisocial act.
