Practice and Growth in the Way of Adidam

"Your turning to Me and My Transmission of My Own Spiritual Presence -- My 'Bright' Spiritual Transmission in response to you -- these two together, that is Adidam."
-- Avatar Adi Da Samraj

The Way of Adidam has unique characteristics, and they are all based on the tangible Spiritual Transmission Given by Avatar Adi Da Samraj. They are not based on philosophy or thinking or techniques. The entire process of Spiritual growth in the Way of Adidam unfolds through the devotional and Spiritual relationship to Avatar Adi Da Samraj.

Key Aspects of Practice

• Devotion -- The practice begins and is sustained by the devotional turning of the whole being to Avatar Adi Da Samraj, through which His Spiritual Transmission is received
• Self-Understanding -- Through ongoing study and self-observation, the devotee comes to understand the activity of self-contraction that prevents the reception of the Spiritual Blessing
• Disciplines -- Practical life-disciplines related to diet, exercise, sexuality, service, and other areas support the devotional and Spiritual process
• Meditation -- Sitting meditation is a time set aside for concentrated devotional communion with Avatar Adi Da Samraj
• Study -- Regular study of Avatar Adi Da Samraj's Wisdom-Teaching and related sacred literature
• Community -- Living and practicing in the company of other devotees provides essential support

The Unique Nature of This Practice

What distinguishes the Way of Adidam from other spiritual paths is that it is entirely based on the living Spiritual Transmission of Avatar Adi Da Samraj, rather than on techniques, beliefs, or efforts of the separate self. The devotee's responsibility is to turn to Him and receive His Grace -- not to achieve Realization through self-effort.
