If you are someone who is moved by Adi Da or any aspect of His Work (His Revelation and Spiritual Transmission, His Wisdom, His Way of Adidam, His Art, His Sanctuaries, etc.), one of the easiest ways to help more people discover Adi Da is to share our web pages with others.
1. What To Share
Our site now contains pages, with a wide variety of content. So one question you might ask yourself is, what exactly should I share?
The whole site — If you are introducing someone to the Adi Da Up Close site, a simple way to do that is to send them the home page.
Our Introduction Section — If someone already knows of your interest in Adi Da, you might send them to our Introduction section to learn more.
Our Audio/Video Library — The most popular section on this site is our Audio/Video Library, which now contains over video and audio clips, which collectively have been watched or listened to over times. The Library is organized so that many popular categories (Adi Da's Talks, Adi Da's Image-Art, Devotees' Stories of Adi Da, etc.) are displayed with just the click of a link. A search engine makes it easy to find
videos on particular topics.
Our Contributors Page — This is a great way to explore the site, by looking at the hundreds of contributors (devotees and non-devotees alike) the site has drawn upon, and exploring their contributions (stories, videos, articles, etc.) to the site. This is particularly useful to send to people who are not aware of just how many devotees and appreciators of Adi Da there are, out on the Web!
A Particular Section — Our site contains a large number of sections, organized by topic. If someone is interested in a particular topic (from death and dying, to children, to music), you might send them our section on that topic. Here are some of the sections on this site:
A Particular Page — Or you might want to send one particular page you really liked to one or more people you know. If you're curious to know
which individual pages on our site are shared the most, visit our 150 Most Shared Pages page,
which is automatically updated every day.
2. How To Share Our Web Pages
There are many ways to share the pages on our site:
Email our pages — At the bottom of every page, in the center, is an email link:
Email
The form that comes up when you click on this provides you with a Subject line for your email message (which you can edit), and a Summary of
the page (which you can also edit) that will appear in your message. You can add a personal message as well, at the bottom of the form. The
form provides room for filling in the names and email addresses of up to 10 friends. (If you have more in mind, send to 10 friends, then press BACK
and send to 10 more, etc.)
"Like" one of our pages — At the bottom of every page is a Facebook "Like" icon:
If you have a Facebook account, you can share one of our pages with your Facebook friends by pressing the "Like" button on that page. (If you aren't logged
into Facebook, Facebook will require you to log in first.) Facebook will also provide you with an area where you can add an optional personal message to
your friends. The link (along with your personal message) will appear in the Facebook News Feed of your friends.
Share a page on a different social network — At the bottom of every page is a "Share" icon:
If you want to share a page on some other social network besides Facebook, it's very likely you'll find that network when you click the "Share" button, since
it enables you to share the page on 300 of the most popular social networks.
