"Turaga Dau Loloma Vunirarama" is a title given to Avatar Adi Da by the native Fijians of Naitauba: "The Great Lord [Turaga] Who Is The Divine Adept [Dau] Of The Divine Love [Loloma] and The Self-Radiant Divine Source and Substance [Vu] Of [ni] The Divine 'Brightness' [Rarama]".
May You Ever Dwell In Our Hearts is a deeply moving, sacred, contemplative CD that celebrates Adi Da's Life of Love and Blessing. This tribute to Adi Da Samraj includes music from many different genres, ranging from Indian classical to jazz to world music and other contemporary styles.
With over two hours of devotional songs filling this double CD, you can listen to pieces composed and performed by many devotee artists, including Naamleela Free Jones, Tamarind Free Jones, Ray Lynch, John Wubbenhorst, John Mackay, Sally Howe, Crane Kirkbride, Antonina Randazzo, Katya Grineva and many others.
Some of the twenty-five pieces on May You Ever Dwell In Our Hearts were written and offered in the days immediately following Adi Da's Passing on November 27, 2008, or in the year-long period of formal mourning that followed. Other songs were offered to Him in person during His Lifetime. This CD also contains new songs never released before by Naamleela, Tamarind, and other musicians.
A talk by Avatar Adi Da titled "Guru as Prophet", given on December 23, 1973. The full talk is available on the double CD, Money, Food, and Sex / Guru as Prophet. A written version of this talk is available in the book, My "Bright" Word.
In this talk, Adi Da distinguishes between the Spiritual function and the "prophet" function of the True Guru. As prophet, the Guru offends, criticizes, and undermines the usual ego-based life by confounding the search and the need for consolation and fascination. This process works to bring about a crisis of understanding in anyone not yet involved in the real Spiritual process.
Adi Da explains that teachings about ordinary life or even about Spiritual life tend to console the seeker in some way, exploiting the search for self-fulfillment. But contact with the True Guru frustrates the seeker instead, and draws the individual into the feeling of dilemma that is at the root of his or her search. This serves the crisis that must precede the real Spiritual process whereby the True Guru's Spiritual Function may be discovered.
Later in the Discourse, Avatar Adi Da returns to the primary theme of the Guru-devotee relationship. When the ego-frustrating process is engaged as Satsang, or relationship to the Guru, then present Realization of the Divine can be Awakened by Grace, and the real Spiritual process can begin.
ADI DA: To the extent that I appear in public at all—for example, by writing books, or even simply by the existence of the gathering of My devotees in this world—My visible Role can only be that of Prophet. I do not serve people's random needs to be fulfilled, to be consoled, to be fascinated. Every individual who is moved to Realize Real God, Truth, and Reality in My Avataric Divine Company must approach Me as My formally practicing devotee—and, in every such case, the usual egoic process will (and must) be Offended, Criticized, and Undermined by Me.
As the Avataric Incarnation of the Very Divine Person, I must be Paradoxical, I must be Free—in order to Serve the Divine Liberation of My devotees. The qualities of My Avataric Divine Activity cannot be predetermined. I do not consistently assume the qualities of any particular archetype—the holy man, the Yogi, the Sage. I must be Free to Appear as I will. I am always Acting to Undo the egoic life of My devotees—even if only by Merely Being Who I Am.

The bottom line: If you want to feel good, you have to learn how to feel good!
ADI DA: Jotenkin, kaiken tämän keskellä, tajuat että kaikki voisi tuntua paljon paremmalta. Voisit tuntea olevasi täysin autuas. Voisit rakastaa ehdottomasti, voisit olla ehdottoman vapaa. Mutta tämä näyttää tavallisen olotilasti vastakohdalta. Olet riippuvainen kaikenlaisista reaktiivisista tunteista, matalista energiatasoista, huomion pakkomielteistä, psyko-fyysisistä tukkeutumista, olet riippuvainen kaikesta tästä, sinulla on miljoona, lukematon määrä ohjelmia, jotka ovat vähemmän kuin rakkaus, joista olet riippuvainen. Mieli on kiinnittynyt halun ja huomion ohjelmistoon. Ja jokaisella ohjelmalla on omat kohteensa joka hetkessä. Mieli pyrkii kohti yhtä tai toista kohdetta, huomiosi liikkuu kohti yhtä tai toisenlaista kohdetta. Se, miltä sinusta tuntuu joka hetkellä, on ilmaisu siitä mielen ohjelmasta, johon olet siinä kohtaa lukittuna.
Mitä olet koko elämäsi aikana oppinut? Oletko oppinut tuntemaan täydellisesti? Tuntemaan täysin? Jouduitko käymään läpi opintokauden,\Njossa opit tuntemaan äärettömiin, ehdottomaan Jumalaisuuteen asti? Ei - opit elämän kaikki reaktiokuviot, kaiken tavanomaisen halun. Ja tunsit ne ennen kuin tutustuit niihin uudellen tässä vartalossa. Eli itselläsi ei voi olla parempaa\Noloa kuin itselläsi voi olla. Ja olet riippuvainen tuntemaan itsesi vähempänä kuin rakkaus, ollaksesti vähemmän kuin ekstaasi.
ADI DA: Somehow in the midst of this round of existence you realize that you can feel a lot better than you now feel, that you can feel absolutely blissful, that you can love absolutely, that you can be absolutely free. But feeling blissful stands in contrast to your common state. You are addicted to reactive emotion, low levels of energy, gross fixations of attention, psycho-physical obstruction. You are addicted to countless programs that are less than love. In every moment your attention is moving toward one or another object, and your feeling in every moment is an expression of the program of mind into which you are locked in that moment.
Now, what have you learned in your whole life? Have you learned to feel perfectly? To feel absolutely? Did you ever go through a period of study in which you learned to feel to Infinity, to feel Absolute Divinity? No, you learned all the reactive patterns of life, all the desires for ordinary things. You knew them even before you became familiar with them again in this body. You cannot feel any better than you can feel, and you are addicted to feeling less than love, to being less than ecstasy.

The bottom line: If you want to feel good, you have to learn how to feel good!
ADI DA: Jakoś w tym wszystkim zdajesz sobie sprawę, że możesz czuć się dużo lepiej. Możesz czuć się absolutnie błogo. Możesz kochać absolutnie. Możesz być całkowicie wolny. Ale to stoi w sprzeczności z twoim wspólnym stanem. Widzicie, jesteście uzależnieni od wszelkiego rodzaju reaktywnych emocji, niskiego poziomu energii, fiksacji uwagi, przeszkód psychofizycznych. Jesteś uzależniony od tego wszystkiego. Masz milion, niezliczoną liczbę programów, które są mniej niż miłością, do których jesteś uzależniony. Umysł jest przymocowany do programów pożądania, uwagi. Każdy z tych programów ma swoje obiekty iw każdej chwili umysł dąży do jednego lub innego rodzaju obiektu. Twoja uwaga porusza się w kierunku jednego lub innego rodzaju obiektu. Twoje uczucie w każdej chwili jest wyrazem programu umysłu, w którym jesteś zamknięty w tej chwili.
Czego nauczyłeś się przez całe życie? Czy nauczyłeś się czuć się doskonale, czuć się absolutnie? Czy kiedykolwiek przechodziłeś przez okres nauki, w którym nauczyłeś się czuć do Nieskończoności, czuć Absolutną Boskość? Zobaczysz. Nie, nauczyliście się wszystkich wzorców reakcji życia, wszystkich pragnień zwykłych rzeczy, widzicie. A ty ich znałeś, zanim ponownie zapoznałeś się z nimi w tym ciele. Więc nie możesz czuć się lepiej niż możesz się czuć. I jesteś uzależniony od mniej niż miłości, bycia mniej niż ekstazą.

Piosenkarka i autorka tekstów Jacqueline Clemons śpiewa "The Universal World-Prayer", modlitwę o pokój napisaną przez Adi Da Samraj. Muzyka Nicka Milo i Jacqueline Clemons.
Beloved, Inmost Heart of every heart, donotLet our human hearts be broken by our merely mortal suffering here — but Make our mortal human hearts break-Free to an unconditional love of You, that we may, Thus, love all living beings with Love's own True, and Truly broken, Heart.
Composed by Jacqueline Clemons and Nick Milo, and sung by Jacqueline Clemons, this soulful rendition of Adi Da's prayer for world peace, "The Universal World-Prayer", was sung many times at The Parliament of the World's Religions in Cape Town, South Africa, in December, 1999.
The song accompanies a slideshow of pictures of Adi Da.
Adi Da's Universal World-Prayer coincides with His Instructions to not "live the Law backwards": trying to love others (or attempting to bring about world peace), while failing to first love God (and have our love of others be the overflow of our communion with God).
