When even secular thinkers such as the great 20th century philosopher Martin
Heidegger warn us that “Only a god can save us now”, we should wake up to the
fact that today, humanity's very existence is hanging by a thread. In fact, we
are all now in that long prophesied moment of global crisis known as the “End
Time”, “Dark Epoch”, or Kali Yuga. Yet those same prophecies have also promised
that in this moment of crisis a great Spiritual Realizer would appear and bring
a Revelation that restores humankind to the Perfectly Liberating Way of Truth.
Already recognized as the greatest Spiritual Genius of our epoch, there is a
further, open and ecstatic “secret” to His appearance: The Divine World-Teacher,
Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj, is that very God (or God-Man) and the Way of
Adidam is that very Revelation for which we—all of us—have actually been
waiting.
In this Internet broadcast introduction to Adi Da and the Way of Adidam, William
Stranger, one of Adidam's most respected lecturers, considers why none of the
existing religious and spiritual traditions, East or West, are up to the
challenge of this time and how Avatar Adi Da's Revelation of Adidam has both
fulfilled and uniquely transcended them all. William will identify the “supreme
secret” of all religions and consider how the “radical” or “most direct” Way of
Adidam offers everyone an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy a direct
relationship with Adi Da Samraj and experience His Spiritual Transmission, which
is the Divine Means of our Freedom.
In Adi Da's own words: “I Am an egoless, Un-armored Presence here. I Am the
Self-Evidently Divine Person in the midst of humankind. I am not an 'other' to
any one. I Am the egoless Divine Self (and Self-Condition, and Source-Condition) of all-and-All. I Am the Conscious Light of Reality Itself—all-and-All-Surrounding, and all-and-All-Pervading, and Standing Free As the Heart of Being. For those who would embrace a religious life based on heart-breaking Freedom, I Am here.” ….
