Ananda Marga Gurukula celebrates its 25th Anniversary with a global meeting July 11-16, 2015, in Asheville, North Carolina,
USA. The theme of the celebration is Neohumanism in Action: Educating for a Sustainable and Compassionate Future. We
invite all educators and neohumanist activists to participate in creating a sustainable and compassionate future and adopting
the actions required to expand our Neohumanist institutions and projects. This expansion will include strengthening and
consolidating our global communication and collaboration network through GANE Global Association of Neohumanist
Educators (GANE) as well as developing the P. R. Sarkar Institute (PRSI), an initiative of Ananda Marga Gurukula (AMGK) in
collaboration with the P. R. Sarkar Archives, which will function as an umbrella body for all disciplines of research,
development and dissemination of works related to P. R. Sarkars ideas (prsi@gurukul.edu). A Neohumanist College for online
courses is also being launched (http://nhcollege.gurukul.edu). Come celebrate and work with us for the expansion of
Neohumanist Education for all, as envisioned by Shrii P. R. Sarkar, to create a truly compassionate and sustainable society.
