"Adi Da has a flexibility in his expression that encompasses all the art forms and techniques of the East and West. His work is a multiplication of space in time and time in space.... He's like a barman shaking Western space in the fluidity of Eastern concepts and forms. Adi Da wants to ultimately affirm art as a form of, a spiritual representation of the Divine nature of man, which can articulate a new vision of space and a new vision of time. This relationship between the East and West is very important. In a historical moment such as this, it is important to affirm, as a fundamental value of art at this time, the coexistence of differences."tags: Sundaram Tagore GalleryAchille Bonito OlivaOrpheus LineadImage-Art

Enter Into Unlimited Profundity poster: AdidamRevelationMagazine length: 09:43 date added: August 25, 2010 event date: October 6, 2005 language: English views: 7439; views this month: 3; views this week: 3 In this occasion at The Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary from October 6, 2005 (the last time Adi Da spoke formally, in response to a devotee's question about practice), a longtime devotee, Cheech Marreo, who recently has had an automobile accident, asks Avatar Adi Da a question about the role of karma in his life and practice. Adi Da, in turn, points to something even more fundamental than the universal law of cause and effect. He also clarifies that the old saying, "through suffering comes wisdom", is just not true. If it were it so, He asserts with amusement, then everyone would be wise — because everyone suffers. Mere suffering makes no difference, unless there is availability to Reality.

All Of This Is Sacred. All Of This Is Is Beautiful. poster: 2012spirit length: 09:52 date added: July 3, 2010 language: English views: 7294; views this month: 3; views this week: 3 The Divine Image-Art of Adi Da Samraj: A Meditation on the Divine Love-Bliss, on the Divine LIGHT of Lights.
Only that which is loved is beautiful.... The necessary essence of art is Love.... Love must be the mother of the arts, not architecture, not structure, not function. True art always involves the observer in the participatory gesture of being, or what we call love.... Where the sacred is absent, then the best art can do is meditate on the beautiful and bring people to feel that. But there is nothing beautiful without love.
My Art is the Art of Heart-Participation, Heart-Activity. It is Art made of feeling, rather than of a perception or a conception merely. The total field of feeling — perceptually located, ecstatically Realized—is the content of My Artwork.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj
Adi Da Samraj's Image-Art reflects His extraordinary Divine Purification and Blessing Work with the world.
There Is Only Light. Light Is All There Is. All That Is Is Light.

The process of people's experience of life is so arbitrary in many respects. . . . It's just a shuffle of shapes!"
