Devotee Ben Grisso talks about growing up in the community of Adi Da's devotees and the joy of being with Adi Da as a child. He describes how he later lived on Naitauba and served Adi Da's Image-Art work for many years. He tells a humorous story of the Crazy-Wise play Adi Da engaged in, to reflect to Ben his tendency to be "analytic".
Ben was in the room with Adi Da at the time of His Divine Mahasamadhi (on November 27, 2008), and he talks about that moment, and its significance.
Longtime devotee, Gerald Sheinfeld, gives a testimonial to Adi Da, at the tribute that occurred on Adi Da Samrajashram, on the First Anniversary of Adi Da's Divine Mahasamadhi.
