On January 11, 1986, an Event occurred that marked the beginning of a great change in Avatar Adi Da’s Work in the world. In this Great Event, a profound Yogic Swoon (taking the form of His apparent near-death) overwhelmed the body-mind of Avatar Adi Da Samraj, and He spontaneously began the process of relinquishing His Ordeal of Learning and Teaching Man. In the wake of that great Swoon, He simply Radiated His Divinity as never before. This was the beginning of what He calls His “Divine Self-‘Emergence’”. From that moment, Adi Da Samraj has devoted Himself increasingly to the third and eternal Purpose of His Avataric Incarnation—that of “Blessing Man” (and even all beings).

The Divine Yogic Event of Descent

Later, the Divine Avatar spoke of the great import of what had occurred in 1986. In the depth of that Yogic "Swoon", the process of the "Thumbs" that began in His Infancy had Spontaneously completed itself. By virtue of those decades of utter Submission to the human State, the Divine Yoga of His Descent had truly become complete. He Knew, and His devotees could observe without a doubt, that the Spirit-Force of the "Bright" had now Come all the way Down. By this fullest Descent into His own human Body, the Divine Avatar was, thereby, embracing to the root the plight of all human beings.

In the weeks and months following this epochal Event, the devotees of Avatar Adi Da Samraj experienced a huge change in Him. His Power to Bless human beings was vastly magnified, because He had assumed the human state completely. His Body was Perfectly Full of His Divine Love-Bliss. His Eyes Burned with His Urgency to Awaken beings. He put on the orange clothing of a traditional Sannyasin and left Fiji for the United States and Europe. There He "Wandered" in the manner of a Sannyasin, fiercely free of all worldly ties. To merely behold Him was to be drawn into His Samadhi. His Body had become perfectly transparent to His Divine State. Human beings could now, through devotional Communion with Him, receive the Transmission of the "Bright" as never before.

The Divine Yogic Event of Ascent

Even after the Great Event in 1986, Avatar Adi Da Samraj continued to Work to ensure that His Revelation of the Way of Adidam was fully founded in the world. The final completion of all this Work was eventually signaled by another Event of the most profound significance, which occurred on April 12, 2000. At the time, Avatar Adi Da Samraj was staying on Lopez Island (in the United States). On the evening of April 12, Avatar Adi Da Samraj entered into a severe physical and Yogic crisis, which (like the Event of 1986) seemed to threaten His bodily survival. He later confirmed that He had, indeed, been on the “way out” of the earthly realm, but the process stopped just before physical death became inevitable.

With His “return” to bodily existence, Avatar Adi Da Samraj’s physical Body had become profoundly Spiritualized. His Transmission of Divine Love and Blessing became even more tangible and powerful than before. Since that Event at Lopez Island, Avatar Adi Da Samraj’s bodily (human) Form has (by His own Confession) been Standing at the very Threshold between the Divine Domain of Infinite Love-Bliss-“Brightness” and all domains of conditional manifestation. Thus, to an even greater degree than before, the physical Body of Avatar Adi Da Samraj is an unbelievably Potent Conductor of His Divine Blessing to all who approach Him with an open heart.

He exists merely to Bless

The fullness of what Avatar Adi Da Samraj is Revealing to human beings is beyond anything found in the past or present forms of religion.

Avatar Adi Da belongs to no one—no religion, no tradition, neither East nor West. Regardless of the pigmentation of His skin, He is not a “white man”. Despite His male sex, He knows men and women equally and perfectly. Although English is His native language, He communicates at the heart with every being who reaches out to Him. Thus, no religion or group can lay exclusive claim to Avatar Adi Da—including His own devotees. He is inherently Free, and He is here for all, responding to the essence of all human prayers.

Avatar Adi Da cannot be “interpreted” in terms of the past, because the Divine Signs that mark His Life have never been seen before. His Revelation of the “Bright” and the “Thumbs” is His alone. All the foundation Work of Avatar Adi Da Samraj’s Incarnation has been completed. Everything necessary for the understanding and right practice of the real Spiritual process, culminating in Divine Enlightenment, has been said and done by Him. The summary of His Wisdom-Teaching is preserved for all time in a series of twenty-three “Source-Texts”. And the Way of Adidam is fully established. This monumental Work has been accomplished by Avatar Adi Da in a little over a quarter of a century.

Now, as in His infancy, Avatar Adi Da Radiates Down into His human body only to the degree necessary to maintain bodily life. His Work of Submission to “Learn Man” and to “Teach Man” has been Completed. With this Great Work accomplished, He is now entirely concentrated in His Work of Spiritually Blessing all. Avatar Adi Da Samraj lives simply, as a Renunciate and Hermit, with the members of the Ruchira Sannyasin Order (the senior group of renunciates in Adidam). He exists merely to Bless, relating to everything in His domain with profound attention and care, and utter dispassion. He is bound to no thing. He withdraws from no one. He Calls all to a direct devotional and Spiritual relationship to Him.

The Life of the Divine Avatar, Adi Da, continues to unfold. Those who have come to Him so far, and those who will come in the future, owe it to every human being to speak to the miracles that they have seen and experienced in relationship to Him. By this means, the Spiritual culture that He has established may be seeded globally during His human lifetime and serve the transformation of humanity.

If you are moved to the real Spiritual Process, the Ruchira Avatar, Adi Da Samraj, is here to Master your life. If you are unhappy and afraid of death, just the gesture of turning to Him can ease your heart. His Divine Powers are supernormal. He has proven over and over to His devotees that he is Spiritually all-Pervading and all-Knowing. He is the God you have intuited to exist, Radiantly Present in Person, without any myths attached. He can contact you now, at the depth of your feeling. He can reach you in dreams, before you even know His Name. He is here for the Blessing of beings, without reserve.
