The passing of a spiritual master and the questions of
succession, organizational continuity, and fidelity to
the master’s life, instruction, and work have often been
problematic and contentious. These challenges are not
specific to any tradition and have been met variously
throughout history, but they take on new dimensions in
the case of Avatar Adi Da Samraj (1939-2008), the spiritual
founder of Adidam Ruchiradam. The multi-tiered task of
establishing a new tradition, with all of its spiritual,
philosophical, aesthetic, cultural, legal, and organizational
expressions is monumental in scale — like the artistic
images created by Adi Da in the last decade of his life.
There is an untold story in Adi Da’s work to create this
new spiritual tradition and another in the maturing practice
and organizational life of Adidam members — both of which
have entered into a new chapter with Adi Da’s passing
in November 2008.
What
a great book! Feels very accessible, honest and clarifying
regarding Adi Da's Divine Avataric Spiritual Blessing
Work. Ebooks are an excellent way to get Adi Da's Leela
out to many, many people.
