The Sun of the Mist

The Terapanth Dharam Sangh has an independent approach towards certain vital issues. While reposing full faith in tradition, it is not averse to new developments. Indeed, the art of fixing the eternal in the framework of modernity testifies to the uniqueness of our Sangh. The mastery of this art is necessary to establish harmony between spirituality and everyday behaviour. The series of 'Disha-Darshan' articles is an effort in that direction.

Till 22 Jan, 1989, this column has yielded 101 articles. Some people wanted this collection to be published in a book form. From the very beginning, Sadhvi Pramukha Kanakprabha had kept them securely and in order. Kamlesh Chaturvedi displayed great readiness and the material was sent to the press for publication under the title of 'Kuhase Mein Ugta Suraj'. Thus, a critique of the times has found a durable form. I hope this collection would prove useful to the Community. May it enable the readers to change their thinking and conduct, and not to be hypnotised by the glamour of new cultures. Let them preserve their own culture - the culture of discipline and renunciation - from being consigned to oblivion.
