Introduction
Welcome
to our site!
We receive many visitors with many reasons for visiting . . .
Perhaps
you are just discovering Adi Da for the first time; or maybe you have known about
Him and His work for years. Perhaps you have heard of Adi Da through His art,
His literature, or His Teachings on world peace, health, diet, or any number of
other subjects. Perhaps you are a spiritual seeker looking for more than the usual
life of materialistic self-fulfillment, and have heard of Adidam, the new Transcendental
Spiritual Way offered by Adi Da. Perhaps you are merely curious, or seeking answers
to particular questions. Whatever your background or your
reason for visiting, we hope our site will interest you and will address your
needs!
For Visiting Professionals: Adi Da as Spiritual Master
 When
we use the phrase, "visiting professionals", we have in mind readers from the
art world, the literary world, the world of theater, the political and social
circles dedicated to advancing world peace, etc. . . . in short, any of the areas
in which Adi Da has made artistic contributions, or in which He has communicated
wisdom that can have a beneficial impact for others working in that area. In addition
to His many contributions to the world of art, literature, and society altogether,
Adi Da is also the founder of the Spiritual Way of Adidam. For those perhaps more
familiar with Adi Da's work in a different capacity, this introduction serves
as an orientation to Adi Da's function as Spiritual Master, which is the focus
of most of this site.
For Spiritual Seekers: Adi Da as Incarnation of the Divine
 |
| Adi Da Samraj, 1999 |
All the great Spiritual Masters have been not only teachers,
but Transmission Masters: they literally transmit their Spiritual Realization
to their devotees, communicating a state that is happier than the usual worldly
destiny. The greatest of all Spiritual Masters are the Divine Incarnations, those
rare occasions when the Divine appears in human form, providing a
tangible means (directly accessible to all) for Transmitting the greatest
Realization — the Divine State of Perfect and Eternal Happiness — which
coincides with awakening from the "dream" of conditional existence. In this article, we make the case that
Avatar Adi Da Samraj is just such a rare Divine Incarnation, here to remind all
of their greatest possible destiny, and to awaken all beings to that Divine State
of Perfect Happiness. Practitioners of the Way of Adidam recognize Adi Da as Divine
Incarnation (not on the basis of belief but of Spiritual
Revelation), and on that basis, happily cooperate with His process for awakening
them. 
A Brief Biography of Adi Da
 From
His birth on November 3, 1939 in Long Island, New York, to His
passing from the body on November 27, 2008 in Naitauba, Fiji,
Adi Da's life is the story of the Intervention of the Divine
Person and State in human time, for the sake of the liberation
of all beings. Throughout His life, Adi Da worked first to find
the Way by which it would be possible for everyone to realize
the supremely blissful state of Divine “Brightness” that He
had known since birth; and then to establish that Way ("the
Way of Adidam") in perpetuity — by leaving humankind with
forms of Agency
through which His blessing Presence would forever be felt and
magnified, and through which an eternally living relationship
with Him would always be possible. Here is a brief summary of
Adi Da's extraordinary life and work.

The Uniqueness of Adi Da's Transcendental Spiritual Offering
 "The
Great Tradition" is Adi Da's term for the total inheritance of human, cultural,
religious, magical, mystical, Spiritual, and Transcendental paths, philosophies, and testimonies
from all the eras and cultures of humanity. Some of
those traditions are what Adi Da would call "Spiritual".
Other traditions Adi Da would call "Transcendental". Adi
Da refers to His Realization and Offering to all as "Transcendental
Spiritual", to indicate the uniqueness of His Offering, in
contrast with all earlier esoteric practices and Realizations in
the Great Tradition. This article elaborates.
Adi Da's "Seven Stages Of Life"
Framework
 What
is the total process of human growth? What is the fullest extent
of our potential? Adi Da offers a unique, comprehensive framework
of seven stages of life, which represents His Wisdom on the
entire spectrum of human possibility. He has systematically described
not only our physical, emotional, and mental development, but also
all the phases of Spiritual, Transcendental, and Divine unfolding
that are potential for us, once we mature in ordinary, human
terms.
The Spiritual Transmission Master
 If there is a single greatest point of confusion about Adidam and Avatar Adi Da, it is this: the idea and the tradition of the Spiritual Transmission Master is completely absent from contemporary culture. This article explains how Spiritual Transmission Masters transmit their Spiritual Realization to their devotees, and how devotees Realize the Master's State by duplication, in accord with the principle: "you become what you meditate on."
Is Adi Da Still Spiritually Active, After His Human Lifetime?
Answer: Very much so! We consider Adi Da's words about this, as well as the experiences of devotees (and non-devotees) after His human lifetime.
On Skeptics and Critics of a Most Extraordinary Communication
 It
almost goes without saying that, in the world of the twenty-first century, when
the extraordinary suggestion is made that a real human being of our time and place
(not some mythical "long ago and far away") could be an Incarnation of the Divine,
it provokes incredible skepticism and reactivity. We well understand that, in
our time, "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", as Carl
Sagan has put it. We don't blame anyone for harboring doubt, or raising questions
about how such a thing could be. It is extraordinary! But to those of us
with firsthand experience, it is no longer unbelievable. This site is a labor
of love purposed toward providing the evidence — in the form of
hundreds of personal, firsthand
accounts — that supports a most extraordinary communication, and a most extraordinary
opportunity for a world and a time that could certainly use one: Adi Da's Revelation and Offering
of Perfect and Eternal Happiness.
