Ananda Marga are more than just a bunch of prancing Hindu fools. Not much more, mind you, but still...

Quote:Ananda Marga (The Ananda Marga Yoga Society) is a Hindu-based religious movement that was founded in India in 1955 by Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar. The group practices a contemporary form of Tantric Yoga and dedicates itself to "self-realization and humanity." A component of Ananda Marga was Sarkar's theology of Progressive Utilization Theory (PROUT), which dealt with ending social and economic injustice in the world. This theory led the group to oppose, often violently, traditional schools of Indian thought and the Indian caste system.
Ananda Marga was held responsible for a number of terrorist attacks in the 1970s. The vast majority of these attacks were against Indian diplomatic and business targets abroad, most often in Australia, where the group had large numbers of followers. Some attacks were also claimed in the name of opposing the Soviet Union, and Ananda Marga members were arrested with maps of the U.S. embassy in Thailand. Ananda Marga's involvement in the 1978 bombing outside the Hilton Hotel in Sydney, where Asian and Pacific leaders were holding a Commonwealth Conference, has been disputed.
