The difference between spirituality and religion is nothing more than an argument about semantics. But let's cut to the chase and see how Ananda Marga fares on a scale of religion.
Ananda Marga has six of the seven dimensions.

Exactly as i imagine.
You haven't got a clue.
First you take from some site these informations which prove that you didn't know secondly all this is just a grain of dust that is absolutely meaningless.
Yoga is 99% practice and maybe 1% theory or less while most religions are the opposite.
With the theory the progress is not possible while with the practice it is.
Most religions think that God is outside or external while in yoga is within.
Buddhism and Hinduism also think it is within but those who practice are very few.
Just go in any Asia temple and see how these religious people behave.
They light few stick of incense while praying their God.
They got many Gods not just one.
Most of them are not vegetarian which is contrary to Shiva and Krisna teaching.
Many priests smoke or use drugs.
While there may be theories that say similar things in practice is all different.
Religions ask God for this and that while in yoga this doesn't make any sense as you are God.
Can you ask yourself for this or that?
All you can do is to realize that you are God and this involve a lot of hard work both physically and mentally.
Is true that AM was started by the late PR.Sarkar this however doesn't mean that he took from Hinduism.
How could he when he fight all his life against Hinduism dogmas like the caste system, the falsity in believing in dozen of Gods and most of what Hinduism stand for?
Sarkar was a real guru and a guru doesn't have to take from anyone.
Shiva and Krisna were also gurus and all guru take from within because they reach the goal of life
and when you get there there is only one truth that is why this truth is the same for anyone who get there.
It doesn't really matter if Shiva live many thousand years ago and Sarkar live after thousand of years.
The truth never change.
This dot is jormunandrs point.
This dot is you.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
