Ananda Marga traces its roots to the ancient Indian spiritual practice of yoga. It includes the belief that all things in the universe are part of a greater whole, and that through spiritual cultivation and discipline one can find spiritual fulfillment and unite with the Supreme Consciousness, thus finding release and supreme joy. Margii means those who have been schooled in meditation and follow the belief system.
源自於印度古密宗瑜伽的「阿南達瑪迦」認為，宇宙萬事萬物均為一體，透過修行鍛鍊，可讓人靈性擴充，與至上意識合一，而得到解脫和喜悅。
