Ananda Marga, the “Path of Bliss,” presents itself as a global socio-spiritual movement with centers, practitioners, and service projects spread across more than 180 countries. Its presence manifests in meditation and yoga centers (often called jagritis or sadhana kendras), spiritual retreat centers, and various social-service initiatives. The density of activity is not uniform; some regions have well-established communities, while others may have only a few practitioners or small informal groups. Nonetheless, the movement consistently emphasizes both inner spiritual practice and outward social engagement wherever it takes root.

Those seeking a nearby center are generally best served by beginning with the official global website, anandamarga.org, which provides a directory or locator for centers and contact points. From there, one can follow links to regional or national Ananda Marga sites, which often list local jagritis, meditation groups, and contact persons in greater detail. Searching for “Ananda Marga” together with the name of a city or country can also reveal the relevant national site or regional office. When a specific center is not listed for a given area, it is common to reach out through the contact forms or email addresses provided on these sites, as regional coordinators may know of small or newly formed groups not yet publicly listed.

In many places, Ananda Marga’s presence is also visible through its service wings, such as relief and development projects and women-focused service initiatives. These projects often maintain their own websites and local contact information, and their coordinators can frequently guide interested seekers toward nearby meditation or yoga activities. Centers and groups typically offer instruction in meditation, yoga practice, devotional singing, and spiritual discourse, along with opportunities for community service. For a sincere aspirant, this network of centers, regional offices, and service projects forms a kind of living map, pointing the way toward both personal spiritual cultivation and participation in a wider, globally dispersed community.
