Avatar Adi Da’s Name “Da” is the primal sound-form of the Divine Reality breaking through into the world of apparently unenlightened beings. The mandala images on these cards offer both the English and Sanskrit visual forms of the Name “Da”. Judith Parkinson, who designed the cards, relates: “I was reading The Dawn Horse Testament when I had the vision of what Avatar Adi Da describes as ‘Da-Thunder’—His Name issuing from a central sphere of radiant light. I drew images according to the vision, and when I presented an entire series of them to Avatar Adi Da for the first time, He simply said, ‘Yes, of course—the Da Mandala.’”
