Come Here to Me in My Holy House and Ground — Adi Da Samrajashram, the Island of Naitauba (in the Fiji Islands), Where the Sun rises to begin every new day of the "world".
Avatar Adi Da Samraj, The Aletheon |
The 'Root'-Place, the Source-Point is here, at Adi Da Samrajashram, where people will have that most immediate contact with Me beyond My physical Lifetime. This is the Principal Seat, the Blessing-Seat, the Source-Position — in perpetuity. People are to come to Me, where and As I Am. That is how I will Transform humankind and the Earth-'world'.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj, November 20, 1993 |

Adi Da Samrajashram has been the Place of My Divine Avataric Self-Submission and My Divine Avataric Self-Revelation-Work. Now It is the Place where the Forever Era of My Divine Avataric Blessing-Work has Its Primary Seat. The right relationship to Me — altogether right and full — should have its focus here. The culture of Adidam in its rightness should have its focus here. That culture of Adidam should be everywhere, but it should have its focus here. This is its Seat of origin.

3. Partial
list of special periods of Adi Da's Work here
- Indoor Yajna
(April, 1987 - March, 1988) — The "Indoor Yajna" refers to the Instructive
Work engaged by Avatar Adi Da Samraj from April 1987 to March 1988 at Adi Da Samrajashram
in Fiji, during which He comprehensively recapitulated His Teaching Work, and
significantly updated His Source-Literature (most especially The Dawn Horse Testament).
The term "yajna" is Sanskrit for "sacrifice". Adi Da's devotees use the word,
by extension, to mean Adi Da's travels of Blessing, which were a sacrifice on
His part. In "Indoor Yajna", Adi Da "traveled" by sending the transcripts and
audiotapes of His Discourses to His devotees around the world while remaining
at His Sapta Na Sannyasin Hermitage in Fiji.
- Avataric Divine-"Self"
Emergence (began January 11, 1986) — More formally: Avataric Divine
Self-"Emergence". On January 11, 1986, Adi Da passed through a profound Yogic
Swoon, Which He later described as the Yogic Establishment of His Avataric Divine
Self-"Emergence". Adi Da's Avataric Divine Self-"Emergence" is an ongoing Process,
initiated at His Birth, in which His Avatarically-Born bodily (human) Divine Form
has been (and is ever more profoundly and potently being) conformed to Himself,
the Very Divine Person, such that His bodily (human) Form is now (and forever
hereafter) an utterly Unobstructed Sign and Agent of His own Divine Being. For
Avatar Adi Da's extended description of His Avataric Divine Self-"Emergence",
see Part Three of The
Knee Of Listening.

This is an improvisation that took place in July 2008 on the island of Naitauba, Fiji. On this occasion, we were playing while Adi Da Samraj was working on His Divine Image-Art. It was truly a blissful and ecstatic time.
The music is from John Wubbenhorst's and Otto Probst's CD, Breath of Devotion. |

Fijian Meke —
Adi Da, devotees, and Fijian residents regularly held celebrations together during
Adi Da's lifetime. This audio clip is from a Fijian meke (dance) performed in
2002. RealAudio
(10:46) |
|  | |
About mekes: Until the early 1800s, Fiji
was strictly an oral culture with no written language.
Meke ("dance") was considered a gift from
the Vu, the ancestral gods, to help the Fijians
preserve their traditions and stories. Meke was
used for instruction, memorization, and cultural
education, and to explain the history of the Fijian
people.
