This comprehensive and definitive sixteen-part “manual” covers all the cultural practices for devotees in the Reality-Way of Adidam. It is drawn from Avatar Adi Da’s most up-to-date Wisdom. The sampling below is the briefest overview from 540 pages of His Instruction and includes selections from the book. (All direct quotes from Adi Da Samraj are marked in blue.)
In Part 1, The Way Is Turning To Me On Sight, you will learn about Darshan (sacred devotional sighting of Adi Da Samraj in His Bodily Form) and Murtis (representational Images of Avatar Adi Da, which most commonly are photographs of His bodily, human, Divine Form). Includes the reading entitled, “The Sighting of My Form Will Always Be The Primary Context of Devotion To Me”.
Part 2, You Must Meditate on Me—I Am Always Already Meditating You, explains how “You become what you meditate on”. Includes the section entitled “I Offer You A Relationship, Not A Technique”.
Part 3, Simply To Invoke Me By Name Is The Most Basic Form of The Conscious Process, gives all of Adi Da’s formal names and titles, each of which is an acknowledgement, an invocation, and a means of communion (or sympathetic vibratory synchronization of the total body-mind) with His Divine Pattern. And Part 8, Mala Japa, describes the esoteric practice of how to mark each name invocation with a bead on a mala (or rosary). "The Mala Itself Is A Sacred Design (or Yantra). It Is (Like The Circle Of the body-mind-complex) A Miniaturized (or Microcosmic) Representation Of The Great Cosmic Mandala. It Is The Circuit Of Circumambulation, Whereby conditionally Manifested beings and forms Rotate Ceaselessly Around Me."
Part 5, The Sacramental Forms of Communion With Me, is primarily about the puja ceremony and teaches the basic practicalities as well as the principles of this form of bodily-active worship. “The more there is of such ecstatic formalities and the less there is of the collective formalities of the ordinary, anti-ecstatic ‘world’, the more you will feel free to be ecstatic.”
Part 6, on Devotional Chanting, clarifies that true devotional chant is not merely a “sing-along”, it is a practice that transcends the mind. “True devotional chant Invokes Me and turns to Me, and stays steady in that turning to Me.”
Part 7, about The Sacrament of Universal Sacrifice, explains that offering a gift upon entering the communion hall (the place of worship or meditation) is not just a symbol. "You Conform Yourself To My ‘Bright’ Divine State By Offering Me Gifts of Practice and Service, and By Searchlessly Beholding Me.”
The Devotional Prayer of Changes, Part 9, is a practice of manifesting positive changes in life and the world, by means of devotional communion with Adi Da Samraj. In addition to extensive instruction about this essential practice, you can also learn how to distinguish egoless prayer from ego-based prayer.
In Part 10, Study (and Listen To) My Word, Adi Da describes how He has initiated an eternal conversation with all His devotees with His written and spoken word. Special sections include guidance on studying The Aletheon, The Dawn Horse Testament, and Avatar Adi Da’s other primary source-texts.
In Part 11, Behold My Image-Art, you can learn the process of freely participating in images that Adi Da has made, a process of forgetting “self”, feeling beyond spatial and temporal “point of view”, and egolessly participating in that which is prior to “point of view”.
Part 12 is Tell (and Listen to) My Leelas. (A leela is a story about the Awakened Play of a Realized Adept, through which he or she Instructs and Liberates
