Adi Da's devotees have written many books or booklets that are either directly about Adi Da and the Way of Adidam, or about a subject that resonates with or supports these primary subjects. We've organized some of those books below, ordered by name of author.

Note: Many of the books below have Adi Da and Adidam as their primary focus. However, only a few of the books below are technically "books of Adidam", that is, books formally released by the Adidam Institution (generally through The Dawn Horse Press): Naamleela Free Jones' The Danavira Mela Book; Mei-Ling Israel's The World As Light; Carolyn Lee's Adi Da, The Avatar of What Is, and The Promised God-Man Is Here; James Steinberg's Divine Distraction and Love of the God-Man; and Toni Vidor's Beyond the Illusion.

Rita GordonRita Gordon Siglain has been Bhagavan Adi Da's devotee since 1975, serving for many years as managing editor of The Dawn Horse Press and as an editor in large publishing companies around the United States. In 1995, she was drawn into Bhagavan's intimate circle of servers in the Dasya Mandala and became His Personal Cook in His house, traveling with Him and other servers for several years throughout the country. One day Rita had the opportunity to ride Jingle Baba the camel at Fear-No-More Zoo on the Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary and she fell in love with him. She began helping out at the zoo when she could, and started sharing her love of the camels with her young grandchildren and other children. Soon she began to “talk” to Jingle Baba about a children's book she wanted to write about him and Bhagavan, and in 2005 she sent the first version of the story to Bhagavan as a gift. He offered many suggestions and instructions. Now, after more than 13 years the story is finally available for sale in a beautiful picture-book format! Rita lives on the Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary and serves as chef/kitchen manager, continuing to help out with the camels and the other non-humans on the Sanctuary as much as possible in her spare time.
