All Adidam practitioners become
devotees not because they have decided to take up a new belief system or a set
of spiritual techniques, but because they have received a unique Revelation:
they have received the Transcendental Spiritual Transmission of Avatar Adi Da
Samraj.
That there are over a thousand people around the world
who can speak about this Revelation in personal terms is an extraordinary fact
and an uncommon opportunity for those who have been searching for Spiritual Revelation
themselves. (For that matter, so is the Spiritual fact that there is no limit
whatsoever on the number of people who can receive Adi Da Samraj's Transmission,
if only they knew about It and did what was necessary to make themselves available
to It.)
By no means are all Adidam devotees
trained public speakers. The devotees of Adi Da Samraj run the full gamut of worldly
professions: from computer professionals, to artists, to business owners and employees,
to housewives and househusbands. Some are over seventy years old, some are eighteen.
Some have just become devotees, while others have been devotees for over thirty
years, and, by having "stayed the course" and by having lived it fully, can attest
to the virtue of this Way.
It may be that
if you are, say, a computer professional, you may get more by speaking with a
fellow computer professional, than with a trained Adidam speaker or missionary.
Better yet: do both! But, whatever you do, do respond to this exceptional Spiritual
Opportunity.
However it may turn out, your
best starting point for getting more familiar with Adidam and Adi Da Samraj (in
addition to reading
books about Adidam or listening to tapes or CDs) is to contact a devotee in
your neighborhood.
ADIDAM
STUDY GROUPS meet once a month (or at other regular
intervals) with invited guests to enjoy an introductory video and to talk about
Adi Da Samraj and His teaching. The video includes, among other things, a guided
meditation and a talk by Adi Da Samraj. The study groups are intimate and informal,
and provide a setting in which you can meet devotees of Adi Da Samraj, learn more
about His teaching and the community of His devotees, and ask any questions you
may have.

Alle
sind Eins. Alle sind gleich. Alle bedürfen in gleicher
Weise des Göttlichen Mitgefühls, der Göttlichen
Liebe und des Göttlichen Segens. Alle sind darauf angewiesen,
daß der Faden zum Göttlichen nicht abreißt,
sondern als direkte Verbindung erfahren werden kann. Alle.
Ich Verrichte eine universelle Arbeit. Ich bin hier, um jeden
zu empfangen, zu küssen und zu umarmen — alles,
was in Erscheinung tritt und ist.
Alles
is Een. Iedereen is hetzelfde. Iedereen heeft op dezelfde
manier behoefte aan Goddelijke Compassie, Liefde en Zegening,
iedereen wil dat de verbinding met het Goddelijke zeker en
waarachtig wordt en rechtstreeks wordt ervaren. Daarom geldt
het Bereik van Mijn Werk alle wezens en dingen. Dat is letterlijk
zo. Dit is letterlijk hoe Ik Werk. Ik Ben hier om iedereen
en alles te ontvangen en te kussen en te omarmen — alwat
zich voordoet, al wat bestaat.

This is a group for anyone and everyone to feel and enjoy
the Blessings and wisdom of the spiritual Teacher, Avatar
Adi Da. I started the group so that anyone who is interested
in spirituality or wants to find out more about who Adi Da
is and what He has to offer, can do so. One way to do so is
to come along to an Adi Da evening in north London. We have
our ashram house there. If you are someone who is on the "journey"
called life or wants answers to fundamental questions or is
simply interested to have a chat, I would love to hear from
you. Lets see where 'It' goes!
If you are interested in spiritual life, the questions and
reason why we are here, finding out about meditation, chanting
or ashram life, this meetup group is for you. In the course
of the evenings at the Abbotsford arts precinct (1 St. Helliers
St., Melbourne), we offer a time to enter into an exploration
of spirituality, the evenrings feature the teachings of Adi
Da Samraj, stories of devotees and DVD footage of the sacred
sighting of Avatar Adi Da Samraj. There will be time for questions
and discussion as well as an opportunity to buy many of the
books written by Him on the all possible areas of life, death,
birth, the nature of existence, spirituality, Art, diet, concious
child-raising and more.

The
Auckland centre is in the Waitakere foothills and covers about
sixteen acres of pastureland, native bush, and vegetable and
flower gardens. As you drive in, you pass a small cottage
and a good sized bookstore and meeting room that are used
for retreats and seminars, before winding up the grassy hill
to its summit. Here sits a white Victorian building, home
to several devotees of Adi Da. The wider Adidam community
meet here to meditate, watch live internet broadcasts of Adi
Da, and use the library, which contains an excellent collection
of religious and spiritual literature from all the world's
traditions. Also on the property are a horse, a Kuni kuni
pig (a great recycler), and a flock of sheep.
Bookstore and reading room. Books, audiotapes,
and videotapes available for sale. Open by appointment. Mail
order is also available.
We have devotees in China but have not yet established
