That we are all governed by a Law called the Law of Eternity and that all changes, internally or externally whatsoever are caused and conditioned by this Law remains unknown to many. We also seem to be unaware of the Omni-potent Creator who is the maker of the Law. The Law is intended for progress and well-being, peace, happiness and bliss of all beings in this Creation. It is everybody's Dharma or duty to observe the Law to further the Creator's cause. No one is expected to break the Law. The offenders shall be appropriately punished at the appropriate time. Anything bad or undesirable in thoughts, expressions and actions is a cognizable offence without exception. To deal with such things there is Law of Karma which also comes under the overall purview of the Law of Eternity. Ignorance of this Law and consequent malfeasance or misfeasance brings us sins and sufferings.

Essentially, man is not only born free, he is eternally free and immortal. That is his true self. But being enshrouded by ignorance he gets into chains of bondages and unknowingly plunges himself into the jaws of death. He helplessly cries for help but the Law takes its own course. He suffers as if he is born to suffer. His radiant divinity gets eclipsed by the darkness of ignorance.

To address the problem of human sufferings Sadguru Sri Arjun (1933- 1989) descended on this Earth and presented "Divya Darshan" which the common people can understand and appreciate. He said, "During my life time people cannot know me. Gradually people will know 'Divya Darshan.' I am not showing miracles to attract people towards me. I am preaching true knowledge which is very subtle. Material knowledge is temporary and changeable. Subtle knowledge on the other hand is permanent; it gives permanent peace and bliss. Subtle knowledge permeates down to people at a slow pace. Those who possess good impulses (samskara) can penetrate into this thought tickling theme faster. Truth is simple which will r decay or decompose. Man is so much obsessed with the material world never that very few can answer the question "Who am I?" Consciousness remains enveloped.

"Divya Darshan" is the philosophy of the true self. "Divya Darshan" is based on truth. There is no scope for any blind belief or superstition in the matter of acquisition of true knowledge. Transcending all narrowness and differences, categories and classifications, comparisons and competitions, diversities and discriminations, barriers and bondages, "Divya Darshan preaches mankind to soar high with two very powerful wings such as- knowledge and divine virtues to be one with the unitary consciousness Le Self Without self-knowledge, liberation is impossible.

Sadguru Sri Sri Arjun's biography has already been published in Odia and Telugu which has received encouraging response from the readers. This biography in English has been written by Sri Rabindranath Mohanty, Vice President of Divya Darshan Sangha. During 2017, he had made English rendering of Sadguru Sri Arjun's "Divya Darshan, The Philosophy Divine." Divya Darshan Sangha puts on record its high appreciation of the noble efforts of Sri Rabindranath Mohanty for spreading Sadguru's philosophy far and wide for the benefit of mankind. May the world be benefited and refreshed by the simple style of presentation of this biography of a very little known simple person named Sadguru Sri Sri Arjun.
