The exquisite devotional offerings on Radiance bring us all directly to Bhagavan's Holy Feet at His Great Hermitage and remind us that, despite the damage wrought by the cyclone, His Divine Presence remains Sublimely Untouched and Present there. Devotees and friends from all over the world came together to serve and restore the Holy Places and we offer this Sacred music at His Blessed Feet with all our love and devotion. All the recordings were made by the Adidam Sacred Music Guild during live occasions in the various Temples on Naitauba.
The painting by Nara Wood on the CD cover is of the "chanting room" at Samraj Mahal (on Adi Da Samrajashram), where countless musical offerings were made to Avatar Adi Da during His Lifetime when He was spending time there.

Simon begins by sending a Naitauba Padavara greeting in Fijian to the residents of Adi Da Samrajashram: "I was blessed to live on Adi Da Samrajashram for three years, and while there, fell deeply in love with my Spiritual teacher, Adi Da Samraj; also, with the island itself and its inhabitants. A truly beautiful place."tags: Simon Llewelyn Evansmusic
Creating a New Spiritual Tradition poster: satsang speaker: Jonathan Condit length: 03:32 date added: February 5, 2009 language: English views: 4155; views this month: 27; views this week: 11 Adi Da's senior editorial assistant, Jonathan Condit, tells the story of the moment when Adi Da "captured his heart", while he was an ordained Buddhist monk. At the time, Jonathan had an immediate recognition of Adi Da as "Maitreya Buddha". He describes how his recognition deepened over time: "All the premonitions of a 'great being to come' [Maitreya] are unbelievably pale in comparison to the actuality of Avatar Adi Da."
[Note: Jonathan refers to 23 key books written by Adi Da. Since the time of this recording, Adi Da expanded His Vision for His primary literature to 23 "courses", each of which can be associated with many particular Texts.]tags: AdidamNaitaubaJonathan Condit
