Are you kidding me?
When I ever mention the name of the organization that I follow?
You are the one who mention it all the time.
Oxford English Dictionary Wrote:Proselytize, v.
1. intransitive. To make, or seek to make, proselytes or converts; = proselyte v. 1b. In extended use: to act as an advocate or proponent of something.
2. transitive. To convert or attempt to convert from one opinion, religion, or party, etc., to another; = proselyte v. 1a.
You are attempting to convert people to your religious opinion, thus proselytizing. More proof that you don't know shit from shinola.

Who came first, spirituality or religion and why?
Who seek God internally and who externally?
Who ask God for the daily bread and who doesn't ask God for any material thing?
Who believe in hell and who doesn't?
Who believe in karma and reincarnation and who doesn't?
Who turned into intermediaries between God and the masses and why?
These are only few questions that anyone who think is an expert in this field should know.
Obviously you are not and I doubt you will be in the near future considering your stubbornness.
As noted, you employ these questions as a stalking horse rather than intending to engage in serious discussion. The only reason you ask is because you want to tell us what Ananda Marga followers believe and advocate for those beliefs and opinions. The belief that followers of Ananda Marga practice spirituality and not religion is just a dogma that the religion of Ananda Marga promotes and I'm not the least bit interested in the dogma of your religion. If you had something of intellectual merit to contribute to a discussion of the terms spirituality and religion, then I might consider your opinion, but you don't. All you care about doing is repeating your false and dishonest religious dogma about the matter. I could give a crap about your religious dogma regarding the question. So you can take your dogma and your loaded questions and fuck off.
All this diversion to show that you haven't got a clue about the difference between spirituality and religion for what?
How on earth is possible to engage in serious discussion with you while you keep on pretending that you know this and that when in fact you do not?
Be honest yog and admit that you do not know.
If you knew you already would have said what is the difference.
Obviously you haven't got a clue yet you try to pretend that you do.
Shame yog, shame.
