Arnaud Desjardins (1925-2011), a French spiritual teacher, began his career as a filmmaker for French TV. Through his documentary work in Asia he met eminent spiritual persons of the day, including Anandamayi Me, Swemi Ramdas, Dalai Lama and Afghani Sufi sages. His introduction to "work on self" came through Gurdjieff's teaching, particularly under Jeanne de Salzmann, and culminated in discipleship to the Hindu teacher, Swemi Prajnanped, who became his root guru. For over forty years, Desjardins worked with thousands of students worldwide. His teachings are recorded in over 20 published books.
