THAT WHICH IS SUPREMELY ATTRACTIVE:
Celebrating the Establishment of
The Reality-Way of Adidam on April 25, 1972
A LIFE-TRANSFORMING HAPPENING
This three-day retreat will be filled with the revelation and
spiritual presence of Adi Da Samraj. The theme of this retreat
- "That Which Is Supremely Attractive" - coincides with devotees'
Celebration
of the Establishment of the "Radical" Reality-Way
of Adidam Ruchiradam, which commemorates the start of Adi
Da's Teaching-Work on April 25, 1972, in Los Angeles, California.
On this retreat, we will explore the remarkable story of the
Spiritual Unfolding of Adi Da's Teaching-Work in the lives and
hearts of devotees around the world.
Tangibly feel and receive Adi Da’s Spiritual Presence and Blessing-Transmission as it is powerfully communicated in many ways:

to all and speaking about the True Condition of all beings,
which is Prior Unity, Perfect Freedom, and Divine Happiness.
Avatar Adi Da's Liberating Teachings and Revelations
about the Ultimate Nature of Reality and Truth.
Intimate, inspirational stories about Adi
Da's Life, Work, and Blessing-Influence, told by His devotees.

contemplation.

and much Good
Company.

The
retreat will be held at the European Danda, our Spiritually-Empowered
Center in the south of the Netherlands. The Danda is the Spiritually
Empowered Seat of Adi Da's Blessing in Europe. The Danda is a
former monastery — a quiet place, and a place where Adi
Da twice resided. It houses the largest
collection in the world of Adi Da’s Transcendental Realist Art,
and art tours and presentations will be offered during the retreat.
Filled with Adi Da’s Presence, it is a perfect location to retire
from worldly stress and distraction to sink into the deepest feeling
of Reality Itself.

James will speak to us not only from the perspective
of his extensive study of the Spiritual traditions via books
and personal encounters with many genuine gurus in India and
elsewhere, but also, and more significantly, from his grace-filled
life as a devotee of Adi Da Samraj.
If one wishes to understand the sea, ask a sailor, a
lover of the sea. By the same token, if one wishes to
understand the heart and nature of the Guru-devotee relationship,
ask a real devotee devoted to a real Guru, a teacher and
Master of the heart. James Steinberg is such a devotee,
whose scholarship bows before insights and knowledge that
could only be gained from this living relationship.

James Steinberg is always very inspiring and a very sweet
man!

Testimonial from a participant in a recent retreat at the European
Danda:
Beloved Adi Da,
I’m very thankful for the retreat in the Danda. It is
a very special place, has Big Energy and has touched my
heart deeply. I would like to say thank You for coming
and staying here, for allowing me to see and feel all
the devotees that You Love. I will go with strong energy
and love and I try ever and ever to give it back to You.
Love, Ilka
