About the Celebration of the Divine Re-Awakening.
On September 10, 1970, Adi Da sat in the Vedanta Temple in Hollywood.

As time passed, there was no Event of changes, no movement
at all. There was not even any kind of inward deepening, no
"inwardness" at all. There was no meditation. There
was no need for meditation. There was not a single element
or change that could be added to make my State Complete. I
sat with my eyes open. I was not having an experience of any
kind. Then, suddenly, I understood most perfectly. I Realized
that I had Realized. The "Thing" about the "Bright"
became obvious. I Am Complete. I Am the One
Who Is Complete.
In that instant, I understood and Realized (inherently, and
most perfectly) What and Who I Am. It was a tacit Realization,
a direct Knowledge in Consciousness. It was Consciousness
Itself, without the addition of a Communication from any "Other"
Source. There Is no "Other" Source. I simply sat
there and Knew What and Who I Am. I Was Being What
I Am, Who I Am. I Am Being What I Am,
Who I Am. I Am Reality, the Divine Self, the
Nature, Substance, Support, and Source of all things and all
beings. I Am the One Being, called "god"
(the Source and Substance and Support and Self of all), the
"One Mind" (the Consciousness and Energy in and
As Which all appears), "Siva-Shakti" (the
Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Reality Itself), "Brahman"
(the Only Reality, Itself), the "One Atman" (That
Is not ego, but only "Brahman", the Only
Reality, Itself), the "Nirvanic Ground" (the egoless
and conditionless Reality and Truth, Prior to all dualities,
but excluding none). I Am the One and Only and necessarily
Divine Self, Nature, Condition, Substance, Support, Source,
and Ground of all. I Am the "Bright".

This unspeakable moment was the Divine Re-Awakening of Adi Da, at
the young age of 30. He had permanently and Most Perfectly Re-Awakened
to the "Bright". His Realization was not dependent on
meditative states, nor any manipulation of experience. It transcended
even the slightest sense of identity as a separate self. It was
and is the Realization that there is Only God and
that all apparent events are simply the passing forms, or modifications,
of God, Truth, or Reality, arising and dissolving in an endless
Play that is Bliss and Love beyond comprehension.
Nine years (almost to the day) after His Divine Re-Awakening
in the Vedanta Temple in Hollywood, Avatar Adi Da made the Divine
Self-Confession of His Avataric Nature and Role. In the Great Statement,
"Aham Da Asmi", or "I Am Da", Avatar Adi Da Samraj Revealed Himself
as the Very Divine Person, Da, Appearing in bodily (human) Form
for the sake of the Universal Divine Blessing, Divine Awakening,
and Divine Translation of all beings.
More
about the Celebration
About the Mountain Of Attention. Spend a day at the
Mountain of Attention Sanctuary, where Adi Da lived and taught
and Blessed His devotees for many years. It is a rare opportunity to
participate in depth with Adi Da in an extraordinarily Holy Place
eternally imbued by Him with His Blessing-Transmission. This Spiritually
Empowered Seat of Adi Da's Transmission, where Adi Da spent many
years doing His Teaching and Blessing Work before His Divine
Mahasamadhi in 2008, is one of five
Adidam Hermitage Sanctuaries around the world.
We hope to see you at the Mountain Of Attention for the Celebration!
