At the core of Prout are its 5 fundamental principles formulated by Shrii Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar in 1959, and subsequently published in Idea and Ideology. These core principles were incorporated as aphorisms 12 to 16 of the fifth chapter of Ananda Sutram (1962) along with the 11 social and socio-economic principles of Prout. These 16 principles form the basis of Prout.
