Adi Da instructing Aniello Panico on hos to teach the Knee Of Listening course

Ruchiradama Nadikanta on The Ascent of Orpheus (video)

Ruchiradama Nadikanta is a senior devotee of Avatar Adi Da and a member of the Ruchira Sannyasin Order. She served as Adi Da's spiritual ambassador at the groundbreaking exhibition of Adi Da's Image-Art, The Ascent Of Orpheus, in the renowned Bargello Museum in Florence, which ran from July 7 - October 11, 2015. In this unique presentation (filmed on July 7, 2015), Ruchiradama Nadikanta takes us on a guided tour of the exhibition, describing the extraordinary nature of Adi Da's art, and providing us with an esoteric understanding of "The Ascent of Orpheus", and how it reflects Adi Da's incarnation and liberating work.

Very moving and instructive/informative! So much that I did not previously see and understand and feel was conveyed. I intend to watch this remarkable presentation several more times!

What a heart-felt, illuminating, and altogether beautiful presentation by Ruchiradama Nadikanta on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and Beloved Adi Da's use of this ancient myth in His visual (Artful) representation of His Own Divine Avataric Incarnation into this dark realm of "point-of-view" illusion and bondage to lead His Beloved Everyone to That Love-Bliss Condition beyond "point-of-view" and illusory other. Thank you,  Ruchiradama Nadikanta. What a sign you are!

I so loved listening to Ruchiradama Nadikanta's descriptive explanations that I am eager to watch this video a second time. There is so much depth in it!
