Legal Disclaimer
The Adi Da Archives ("Archives") is intended as a repository for interpretations of Adi Da and Adidam that differ from the ones that they have created for themselves, as well as allegations about facts and events that they have been reluctant to disclose. The materials presented reflect the views and opinions of their original authors, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Archives or its Editor.
The Archives makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, as to the operation of this website or the accuracy of any information, content, or materials it includes or links to. All information is provided to users on an "as is" basis, subject to the qualifications of this disclaimer and all use of such information for any purpose is at the user's sole risk. We will not be liable for any damages of any kind arising from the use of this site, including but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, punitive and consequential damages.
The purpose of the Archives site is to provide materials that can be used as one source of information for those who are researching and attempting to educate themselves about Franklin Jones aka Adi Da and Adidam, or related matters. The information has not been fact-checked by the Archives and therefore must be read with caution, like much of what appears on the internet today. Therefore, it is recommended that readers draw on other sources of information outside of the Archives in addition to what they read here before forming conclusions.
There are many possible perspectives on Adi Da and Adidam, and we do not attempt to cover all of them here. For the official Daist point of view, we suggest you visit www.adidam.org or other use other resources that Adidam provides both on-line and off-line. Also, you can read Adi Da's explanation of himself and his function in some of the posts at this Archive, including The Way That I Teach, I Am the Divine Self-Emergence , and the selections from his writings that are in the "Claims to Divinity" section.
