	The Ultimate Mudra poster: delphiyes length: 21:10 date added: April 7, 2013 event date: 1980 In this excerpt from the 1980 talk, The Ultimate Mudra, Adi Da summarizes the most fundamental human disposition as being one of "total embrace of the Living God." Includes a slideshow of pictures of Adi Da throughout His life, in chronological order.
	The Grace Of Suffering poster: AdiDaVideos length: 13:13 date added: March 20, 2013 event date: January 1976 In this seminal discourse (at The Mountain Of Attention), from the early years of His Teaching Work, Adi Da speaks about the inevitable process of self-revelation and self-understanding that prepares the being for true Spiritual life. The full talk is available as Volume 2 of the 25th Anniversary DVD Series published by the Dawn Horse Press. This is a beautiful talk by Adi Da. But it IS very compressed, making quite a few points in a short space, and depending to a significant degree on a familiarity with Adi Da's spiritual teaching. Here are some notes that may help. Throughout the talk, the technical term, "sadhana" (spiritual practice), is used. Genuine spiritual practice is not about belief systems, mere rituals, or a little "peace of mind", but rather about actually locating the Divine, through the tangible Transmission of the Spiritual Master. After a recent illness, a devotee mentions to Adi Da that he notices how the physical suffering of illness was distracting enough that he was not "able" to find Adi Da's Transmission when he is ill. Adi Da acknowledges this, and responds with three more general points. 1. The illness didn't "make" the devotee lose the thread of practice; rather, he allowed himself to be distracted from God by the illness. When the devotee gets this, and sees how he himself is "doing" the turning away, he'll be able to "do better next time" by not turning away even when ill. 2. Until Divine Enlightenment — in other words, until there is no limit on one's spiritual practice — sadhana (spiritual practice) is always only reflecting back to devotees the remaining limits in their practice: where they are still turning away from the Divine, where they still need to become responsible for not turning away. In the beginning, the "turning away" is very "crude": even mere physical suffering is enough to distract one from God. (If we find ourselves saying, "what do you mean, MERE physical suffering?" that definitely identifies us as spiritual beginners! :-) ) But as one grows in practice, and ceases to turn away in such a crude manner (as one becomes a "saint", "yogi", "sage", etc.), one discovers that one is still turning from the Divine at an even subtler level of the being (in the mind, the psyche, etc.) It is only when that "turning away" has been inspected, understood, and transcended in every dimension of the being that Divine Realization occurs. In this sense, for the genuine spiritual practitioner, physical suffering — along with every other circumstance that reveals to us our turning away from the Divine — is truly a Grace, enabling us to grow in our practice. 3. Where we are turning away is a reflection of what we are identifying with: the body, the mind, the soul, etc. (For example, if physical illness is enough to distract us from God, then the physical body is what we currently are identified with.) God-Realization only occurs when all "identities" less than God are understood and transcended. In this sense, "there are no winners in God" — the Way is not about seeking, accomplishment, or winning, but rather about surrender to God, sacrifice of self, and ego-death. There's no "one" left to "win"! But the One Who Remains is perfectly, eternally happy.
	There Is Only God poster: delphiyes length: 04:54 date added: January 21, 2013 Adi Da Samraj draws the listener into consideration of the mystery of life leading to contemplation of the Only True Condition which is the Reality of Consciousness Itself.
	Love is Death poster: delphiyes length: 03:21 date added: October 31, 2012 The end of the talk, "Religion of the Whole Body" set to images of the Divine God-Man, Adi Da Samraj, Who is the Radiant Life that Pervades the World in Person. tags: God-Man
	Discipline: The Mechanism of Self-Transcendence poster: delphiyes length: 08:08 date added: October 6, 2012 event date: 1989 Adi Da compassionately explains the function of discipline in a variety of ways. Disciplines in the Way of Adidam are intended to be enacted in the context of recognition of and response to the Divine. God cannot be Realized without self being transcended. Disciplines are for the purpose of self-transcendence or the transcendence of the limit that is the self-contraction. "To realize That which transcends limit requires the discipline of limit." tags: discipline   right life   self-transcendence
	Not-Two Is Peace: The Word Goes Out! poster: ShastaMcBride length: 02:16 date added: October 1, 2012 event date: August 2012 The Florence Dance Company performs the multimedia ballet, Not-Two Is Peace on July 22-23, 2012, in Florence, Italy. And the word goes out! Soundtrack is "Miracle" by Daisy McCrackin, from her album, God Willing. tags: Florence Dance Company   Peace
	The Spiritual Master as God poster: TheBeezone length: 02:08 date added: September 30, 2012 event date: October 1978 Adi Da Samraj talks about the misunderstandings people can have about the ecstatic speech of the Spiritual Master. [Sound quality is poor.]
	Commitment to God-Realization poster: delphiyes length: 10:31 date added: September 28, 2012 Adi Da Samraj speaks about the obligation inherent in the process of God-Realization. One naturally dedicates one's entire life to God-Realization, in response to the Realizer's gift of the Way of God-Realization. "If that Revelation [of God] is made clear in this moment, then make a solemn, eternal vow of absolute commitment to God-Realization, and commit yourself to do whatever is necessary for the sake of God-Realization. Devote this life to it, devote whatever time and space appear entirely to God-Realization."
	The Five Declarations: Epilogue part 7 of The Five Declarations of Ultimate Knowledge poster: TheBeezone length: 02:47 date added: September 21, 2012 event date: January 6, 2006 Part of an Avataric Revelation Discourse given at the Mountain of Attention Sanctuary, later published in Reality Is All The God There Is. Adi Da offers His unique renderings of the Dharma of the great sages of Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism, including Gotama Sakyamuni, Nagarjuna, Shankara, and Ribhu. Rather than simply translate their teachings from available source texts, Avatar Adi Da respeaks them as one who has personally realized their truth. He reveals that the Buddhist “Nirvana” and the Advaitic “Brahman” point to the same Transcendental Condition. Avatar Adi Da’s rendering restores to these texts the profundity intended by the Spiritual Masters who created them. tags: Avataric Discourse   Mountain of Attention   Free Rendering   Buddhism   Advaita Vedanta
