The 2025 Image-Art Calendar, "Transcendental Realism: Self-Portraits of Reality Itself" is now available.
Celebrating 25 years since the "Initiation of Free Light-Imagery" (in June of 2000), the 2025 Image-Art Calendar is a selection of Adi Da’s artistic works from the late 1960s through 2008. Each image exemplifies a unique period of Adi Da’s aesthetic expression, while demonstrating his entire body of artistic work as a singular communication of beauty and profundity beyond "point of view". It is a sublime and enduring communication of Transcendental Realism!
This contemplative video is a reading of the quotes accompanying the images on the calendar, along with the images themselves.
Music is "Noon Dreams", from John Wubbenhorst, Bansuri Dreams.

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).

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.

Tässä otteessa puheesta vuodelta 2004, Avatar Adi Da käsittelee sitä, että Adidam Ruchiradamin Todellisuus-Tie ei perustu uskomuksiin tai tekniikoihin, jotka tavoittelevat itsensä parantamista, hallintaa tai toteutusta "lopputuloksena". Sen sijaan, vaistonomainen tai sanaton tunnistus Avatar Adi Da Samrajin Olotilasta annetaan heti, kun yhteys Häneen muodostuu. Siitä lähtien, Tie avautuu itsensä todistavana heräämisprosessina, joka paljastuu joka hetkellä, kun olento tunnistaa Adi Dan Jumalaisen Läsnäolon ja Tilan. Sen pohjalta yksilö liikuttuu kääntymään sydämellään Avatar Adi Dan puoleen Tietoisen Valon Vapauttavana Olentona ja Läsnäolona.
This video excerpt, "Adidamin Tie ei perustu uskomuksiin" ("The Way of Adidam Is Not About Beliefs") is from an Avataric Discourse given by Adi Da Samraj at Adi Da Samrajashram, on October 20, 2004.
In this excerpt, Avatar Adi Da speaks to the fact that The Reality Way of Adidam Ruchiradam is not a system of beliefs or techniques for seeking self-improvement, mastery, or realization as an “end result”. Rather, intuitive or tacit recognition of Avatar Adi Da’s State of Being is given from the initial contact with Him. From then, the Way unfolds as a self-authenticating process of awakening that is revealed in each moment of recognition of Adi Da’s Divine Presence and State. On that basis, one is heart-moved to turn to Avatar Adi Da as the Liberating Being and Presence of Conscious Light.

An archival talk from July 15, 1973. One of the earliest video recordings of Avatar Adi Da speaking. Here He talks about the Free State of the fully Realized being, which is neither inward nor outward.
Adi Da: "God is neither within nor without. This is the principle of Satsang [the relationship with the Guru]: the Divine already present, the Divine lived with, the Divine as your Condition."
