Give a liberally minded anti-government child a book and he'll join a cult.

Ánanda Márga followers describe Ánanda Márga as a practical philosophy for personal developmentsocial service and all around transformation of society. Through its meditation centers and service projects around the world, Ananda Marga offers instruction in meditationyoga and other self-development practices on a non-commercial basis.

Its good to see his sights are pointing east. I believe the east holds a lot of the answers that west has asked. Not so much in that their religions are more brilliant, or "right". Moreso, I believe that at the core of the religion there is a certain self-respect/self-realization process that is not really attempted by western religion. However, It may just be that western perversions have found their way to the heart of spirituality, condemning it to consumerism. 

Pish posh, 
Squish squash,
Fish fosh.
