Ted Progler has been a devotee of Adi Da since 1976. He was a long term practitioner of the "Original Daoist 8 Limbs (or Schools) of Chinese Medicine", wherein Chi Gong is the 2nd School. Ted apprenticed with Lao Ge (aka Charles Belyea), the lineage holder of Original Medical Daoism in the United States and co-founder of the Five Branches University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. From early 2001 until the Divine Mahasamadhi of Adi Da Samraj in late November 2008, Ted was instructed directly by Adi Da in His "Systems-Based Approach to Health & Healing" and His Right Life Yogic Conductivity practices. Ted now only practices and teaches Adi Da's "Systems-Based Approach to Health & Healing", which is a subset of Right Life Yogic Conductivity.
In Ted's depth research and practice of human health and healing over 35 years, it is his personal proclamation that, just as Adi Da Samraj "completed" the Spiritual Dharmas of the Great Traditions of Spirituality, so too did He "complete" the Wisdom practices of human health and healing with His Systems-Based Approach to Health and Healing. The Systems-Based Approach to Health and Healing of Adi Da Samraj is the most fully integrated Health and Healing Systems for human beings, fully integrating how to cooperatively participate with all scales and forms of Reality existence for the purpose of supporting fullest Divine Realization Practice. If you are interested in receiving information about the Systems-Based Approach to Health and Healing of Adi Da Samraj, please email Ted at tprogler@gmail.com.
In this audio clip, Ted tells a leela about a gathering with Adi Da during the “Dancing Down the Light” gathering period. The gathering took place in early March, 2001, in the entry hall of Adi Da’s residence, the Manner Of Flowers, at the Mountain Of Attention.
In the gathering, Ted gave Adi Da a description and demonstration of his Chi Gong practice. Adi Da then talked extensively about Chi Gong, Gong, Chi, Da Chi Gong, and the larger context of energy conductivity with the devotees who were present. Adi Da also talked about the process of making His Image-Art, and how difficult that was for Him physically, requiring a profound conductivity practice.
Michael Shaw and James Alwood (who also were at the same gathering with Adi Da) contribute additional commentary on occasion.
For more about conductivity practice, read Adi Da’s book, Conductivity Healing.

Adi Da vastaa omistautujan kysymykseen, joka liittyy hänen kuolevan äitinsä palvelemiseen. Adi Da antaa erittäin selkeitä ja käytännöllisiä neuvoja.
"Kuolevan henkilön palveleminen" ("How To Serve a Dying Person") is an excerpt from a talk given by Adi Da in Land Bridge Pavilion at The Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary, on May 31, 1980.
In this discourse, a student of Adi Da asks Him for suggestions to help her dying mother. Adi Da then responds both with compassion and also with very practical advice on how to serve the dying.
[The recording of Adi Da's voice is slightly distorted, but understandable.]

This is a video excerpt from the DVD, Inspect and Understand Your Inherited Mind.
In this first volume of The Universal Tradition Video Series, Avatar Adi Da invites His listeners to participate in a study and consideration of the traditions of humankind (which He describes as collectively forming a single “Great Tradition”). Such consideration, He Says, is an essential foundation for questioning the perceptions and beliefs that have been unconsciously inherited from these traditions. He Reveals the Unity from which all traditions arise—the Truth that is Prior to every “point of view”—and urges everyone to transcend all presumptions of non-unity, which give rise to conflict (both individually and collectively).

An excerpt from the CD, The Dual Sensitivity That Moves The Heart: Two Discourses Given by His Divine Presence Avatar Adi Da Samraj, June 20 and 21, 1995.
In these exquisite Discourses, which were recorded over two consecutive nights on the island of Naitauba in Fiji, Avatar Adi Da Communicated essential Instruction on what He calls the "dual sensitivity" — or, the simultaneous sensitivity to the suffering of mortal existence and to the heart's impulse toward True Happiness.
ADI DA: It is not sufficient just to always remember that this is not paradise, that this is mortality-land, everything passes. . . . You must realize that your heart-disposition . . . cannot be satisfied with anything less than Infinite, Absolute Happiness, or Divine Realization. And on the basis of that dual sensitivity, I Call you to respond to Me.

Adi Dalle omistautunut Vanessa kertoo Hänen ainutlaatuisesta tarjouksestaan, ja siitä, miten se eroaa muista lähestymistavoista. Otteessa Hänen esseestään Se, Mitä Tuon tänne, Adi Da sanoo:
"Se, Mitä Tuon tänne, ei ole mytologiaa.
Se, Mitä Tuon tänne, ei ole "uskontoa".
Se, Mitä Tuon tänne, ei ole mitään, jonka ihmiset jo "tuntevat".
Se, Mitä Tuon tänne, ei ole tie tai tavoittelu, joka olisi jo ilmennyt ihmiskunnan Suuren Perinteen historiassa.
Se, Mitä Tuon tänne, on jotain, jota ei ole ikinä ennen tarjottu, josta ei ole ikinä ennen kuultu, jota ei ole ikinä ennen harjoitettu."
Vanessa Kenoyer, a devotee of Avatar Adi Da, speaks about His Unique Offering and how it differs from other approaches. In an excerpt from one of His essays, "There Is A Way And Reality Itself Is It" (in The Aletheon), Adi Da states: "What I Bring to here is not mythology. What I Bring to here is not ‘religion’. What I Bring to here is not anything that human beings already ‘know’. What I Bring to here is not a path or a search that is already evident in the history of the Great Tradition of humankind. What I Bring to here has never been offered before, never heard of before, never practiced before."

Tässä otteessa Avatar Adi Da Samrajin antamasta puheesta syyskuulta 2004, Hän käsittelee ihmisten taipumusta arvostaa hyviä kokemuksia ja vältellä pahoja. Avatar Adi Da paljastaa, että kaikki kokemus on luontaisesti sitovaa, joka tulee monelle yllätyksenä. Positiivinen tai negatiivinen, sillä ei ole väliä!
Hän jatkaa ja antaa tarkat kuvaukset siitä, mitä täytyy tunnistaa kummassakin tapauksessa:
- Positiivinen: "Sinun täytyy tunnistaa kärsimyksesi jopa näennäisen nautintosi parissa."
- Negatiivinen: "Sinun täytyy löytää vapautesi jopa tuskassasi\Nja näennäisessä kärsimyksessäsi."
In "Kokemuksen ansa" ("The Trap of Experience"), a video excerpt from an Avataric Discourse given on September 1, 2004, Adi Da addresses the fact that people tend to value good experiences and shun the bad ones. Adi Da reveals that all experience — positive or negative — is inherently binding (which may come as a surprise to many).
This video clip is an excerpt from the DVD, Beyond The Trap of Experience.

Avatar Adi Da Samraj puhuu "sadhanan", tai hengellisen harjoituksen, välttämättömyydesta suhteessa Jumalan Toteuttaneeseen Hengelliseen Mestariin.
On July 2, 1988, in Land Bridge Pavilion at The Mountain Of Attention, Adi Da gives the talk, "Contemplation, Satsang, Sadhana", which would appear in the May/June 1988 issue of Crazy Wisdom Magazine.
In this excerpt, "Omistaudu Jumalan Toteutukselle" ("Devote Your Life To God-Realization"), Adi Da speaks about the necessity for "sadhana", or spiritual practice, in relationship to the God-Realized Spiritual Master.
"All there is is a mechanism to be dealt with. You're not uniquely born. It's the same mechanism as in all other cases. And, in all cases it requires a tremendous ordeal."
Beginning at 17:30 (and continuing to the end of this video), a formal Darshan occasion is shown.

[THIS FUNDRAISER IS NOW CLOSED. WE REACHED 100% OF THE GOAL WITH JUST AN HOUR LEFT! GREAT THANKS TO THE 50 PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED. HAVE A WONDERFUL RETREAT, MEG! ]
Hello everyone,
My name is Megan Van Niekerk. I am a 24 year old Youth Fellowship devotee of Avatar Adi Da Samraj. I am a South African, and am currently living in Cape Town studying a Eurythmy BA degree at the Centre for Creative Education. I am currently in my third year of study.
I have been a formal devotee in the Youth Fellowship for over a year now and I would like to make my transition into the Second Congregation this year. I have been invited to travel up to the European Danda to meet the community living there and to make my transition. I would like to travel up at the end of June 2024 as this is the best time to do so during my college holidays.
It my heart’s desire to travel to a space that has been Empowered by Adi Da, and to experience the living quality of a community devoted to Him. There are only five South African devotees and we are scattered across the country, far away from each other. So I have not yet experienced Guruvaras or Celebrations with other devotees, despite having taken part online. I would love to experience what it is love to collectively invoke and praise Adi Da!
Unfortunately, I am not earning an income at the moment due to my studies and am living on a simple student allowance. And due to the short amount of time between now and June, it does not feel possible for me to save up the amount that I need to make this journey happen.
My target amount to make this trip possible is R40000 which converts to about 1900EU and $2000 (US). The link for making a donation is:
https://www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/help-meg-go-on-retreat-to-the-danda-in-maria-hoop.
I am deeply grateful to anyone who feels moved to donate and make this journey possible!
With love, thank you.
Da!
