The Sacred History of Adi
Da's Life and Work is an extraordinary, unique, immense, and
ongoing Divine Story, with many dimensions, and many thousands
of participants. What you see below is just the tip of the
iceberg for 1974. . . Over time, we will be adding many more

Before
It Was the Mountain Of Attention
Before January 23, 1974 — Before it became
the Mountain Of Attention, the land now associated
with this Sanctuary had served as a popular hot
springs resort called Seigler Hot Springs (Seigler
Springs, for short). Here is a brief recount of
that history, and how Seigler Hot Springs became
the Mountain Of Attention, when Adi Da took up residence
there on January 23, 1974.

Garbage
and the Goddess
First half of 1974 — Newcomers to the Mountain
Of Attention during the first half of 1974 found themselves
entering a place of Divine Power. They became immersed
in a sea of energy, visions, and other psychic experiences,
awakened through contact with the Spirit-Force of
Adi Da Samraj. But, as their stories show, what was
fundamentally occurring was the utter and overwhelming
Revelation of Real God — and, therefore, of the true
Nature and Power of Avatar Adi Da.

Guru
Enters Devotee
First half of 1974 — Aniello Panico describes
an experience, during the Garbage and the Goddess
period, where Adi Da placed His hand on the Aniello's
forehead: "I felt the Divine Force — literally,
tremendous Light and Force — Coming Down and Filling
my entire body, Consuming me, as if it was turning
every part of me inside out."

An
Immense Burden Had Been Lifted from Me
First half of
1974 —
During the "Garbage and the Goddess" period in 1974,
devotees would drive up to the Mountain Of Attention
Sanctuary on Friday night and stay until Sunday night,
spending as much time as they could in His Company.
Toni Vidor tells
a story of the impact of Adi Da's Spiritual Transmission
on her: "When it was finally over, I felt as if an
immense burden — eighty tons of whatever it was I
had been carrying around all my life without even
realizing it — had been lifted from me."

The
Miracle in the Garden: Adi Da's Empowerment of the
First Holy Site November, 1974 — During
her first weeks of coming to Avatar Adi Da in 1974,
Ruchiradama Nadikanta broke many things, including
a plaster statue of the Virgin Mary that belonged
to Avatar Adi Da. At the same time, she was also in
charge of the vegetable garden being planted at The
Mountain Of Attention, and this too was problematic.
Nothing would grow! For this reason, Avatar Adi Da
decided (as He later put it) "to show her something".
