Ananda Marga Gurukula (AMGK)
was founded on September 7, 1990
by philosopher and spiritual teacher
Shrii Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar
(1921-1990). The song in the sidebar is the last of 5018
songs that he composed inviting all to help to materialize
this last vision of his. He declared the aim of AMGK to
be: “To serve humanity with neohumanist spirit and to
acquire knowledge for that purpose” The functions of AMGK are as follows: ♦ AMGK serves as a higher educational body for all disciplines ♦ AMGK replaces the earlier Ananda Marga Board of Education and gives academic guidance for NHE schools managed by WWD and ERAWS ♦ AMGK sets standards for all NHE schools ♦ AMGK educates and certifies NHE teachers ♦ Affiliates all NHE schools to AMGK after meeting the standards set by AMGK |
