Divine United Organization

The Divine United Organization (DUO) was an organization in India, founded by the Indian guru Shri Hans_Ji_Maharaj in the 1960s.

Its proclamation read:

Whereas, the one universal belief all people hold to be true, is the belief in life itself; and yet due to ignorance of the aim of human life, the world continues to be filled with misery; and

Whereas, even with the advancements of the technologically expanding twentieth century, humanity has continually failed in all efforts to find a solution to misery and suffering; and

Whereas, Knowledge of the aim of human life is being revealed to all people of the world by the living Perfect Master and spiritual head of Divine Light Mission, Paramhans Satgurudev Shri Sant Ji Maharaji, thus eliminating the cause of ignornance and misery;

Therefore, the people who have experienced the Knowledge of Shri Santji Maharaj, with full awareness of the difficulties of living without knowing the aim of human life, are compelled to reach out to the rest of the struggling humanity to spread the solution to strife and suffering by a commitment to work in all fields of endeavor for the elevation of humanity, manifesting an exemplary alternative to be known as the Divine United Organization or D.U.O.;

Shri Santji Maharaj is one of honorary names given to their teacher by his followers in India. DUO was replaced in recent years by the Raj Vidya Kender (Center for the King of Knowledges), in New Delhi, India.

A new religious movement based on similar principles, under the name Divine Light Mission was created when Prem Rawat arrived in the West in the early 1970s.
