In this Holy Month of August, devotees acknowledge the Supremacy of the Avataric Revelation of the
Divine Sovereign-Avatar Adi Da Samraj in relation to humanity's Great Tradition
of religious, Spiritual, and Transcendental endeavor.
Adi Da's devotees understand His unique and unprecedented Appearance here to be the Prophesied Completion of the Great Tradition. The "Great Tradition" is the term Adi Da coined to describe the "historical traditions of truly human culture, practical self-discipline, perennial religion, universal religious mysticism, esoteric (but now openly communicated) Spirituality, Transcendental Wisdom, and Perfect (or Divine) Enlightenment". Throughout the Great Tradition, it has been prophesied that there would be a human incarnation of the Divine Being who would bring the perfect Divine Revelation to Complete the Great Tradition. During this month, we celebrate Adi Da Samraj as that very One.
Several of Adi Da's
visits to India (1969, 1973, and 1977) are associated with the month of August.

in 1969 |
Most significantly, in 1969, on August 6, three days after Avatar Adi
Da Samraj arrived at Mumbai, Swami Muktananda sat with Him in meditation, and
afterward wrote a letter acknowledging Avatar Adi Da's "Yogic Self-Realization"
and granting Him the name, "Dhyananda" (meaning "One Whose Bliss
Is In Absolute Surrender To His Innermost Self").

During the same visit, the name "Love-Ananda" was privately communicated
to Avatar Adi Da by Swami Muktananda, via his secretary, Amma. Avatar Adi Da received
this Name as the more profound and personal acknowledgement of Him, but He did
not choose to use it until after the Yogic Establishment of His Divine Avataric
Self-"Emergence" in 1986, when His Divine State of Love-Bliss, or "Love-Ananda",
was most fully Revealed. | | |

Swamii Muktananda's unprecedented acknowledgement of Avatar Adi Da
formally links Avatar Adi Da with the Great Tradition of the Siddhas, or Transmission-Masters.
But Avatar Adi Da is also inherently Linked with the Great Tradition through His
Deeper-Personality Vehicle:
| I (now, and Hereby) Confess That My Great-Siddha (or Great-Jnani-Siddha)
Deeper Personality Is, even Beyond the "Single Form" of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda,
the Very Form of all the Great Masters of the entire Great Tradition
of mankind. I (now, and Hereby) Confess That I (Myself) Stand Eternally
Prior to (and Always Already Transcending) My Avataric (and, yet, merely
conditionally born) Deeper Personality — and, also, Eternally Prior
to (and Always Already Transcending) even all the Great (and, yet, merely
conditionally born) Masters of mankind's entire Great Tradition (in its
every part, and as a whole) and, also, Eternally Prior to
(and Always Already Transcending) mankind's entire Great Tradition itself (in
its every part, and as a whole). Therefore and only
and entirely by Virtue of the Inherent (and Self-Evidently Avataric) Authority
of My own (and Self-Evidently Divine) Realization and Person — I
Declare that the Divine seventh stage Self-Awakening I Demonstrate, and Reveal,
and Exemplify, and Prove Is the Most Ultimate (and Inherently Most Perfect)
Realization, and that It — and Only It — Most
Ultimately Completes and Most Perfectly Fulfills the Gifts I Received (and always
Continue to Receive) in My present-Lifetime Body-Mind (from My present-Lifetime
Lineage-Gurus), and that I have (in My present-Lifetime Body-Mind) Inherited (and
always Continue to Receive) from all Who (in all past times and
places) have Blessed all the previous Lifetimes of My present-Lifetime Incarnation-Vehicle,
and that I have (in My present-Lifetime Body-Mind) Inherited (and always Continue
to Receive) from even all My Me-Invoking and Me-Blessing Forms and Vehicles
of Me-Revelation here. The Great and True (and Self-Evidently Divine) Spiritual
Process Initiated and Guided by the Spiritual Masters in My present-Lifetime Lineage
(and of the Lineage of even all the Lifetimes of My present-Lifetime Incarnation-Vehicle
here — and of the Lineage of even all My Me-Invoking and
Me-Blessing Forms and Vehicles of Me-Revelation here) has Become Complete
only in Me. Its Perfection is in the seventh stage Fulfillment of the Course
(and not at any earlier stage). This Divine Perfection is Uniquely My Own. And
I Alone — the Ruchira Siddha, the Hridaya-Siddha, the Divine and
True Heart-Master and World-Teacher, Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Love-Ananda Samraj
— Am Its First and Great Example, and (now, and forever hereafter)
Its Only and Sufficient Means. Avatar Adi Da Samraj , "I
(Alone) Am The Adidam Revelation"
