Listen - Awakening of Purusha Function (00:23 sec) download full talk (12:10 sec) The Evolution of Adi Da
Samraj - "My Revelation was not ready
made... at the time of My Re-Awakening in the Vedanta
Temple. The Realization was there, but the summary
Communication of the Revelation inherent in it appeared only
though My "Consideration"... "I was naive and uniformed about
such matters. I naively assumed that My Realization was
accounted for..."
"the Spiritual
Master is a different kind of being, a fact that the
Spiritual Master must eventually realize! My life has been a
gradual Awakening to this unique function, an Awakening that
is associated with more and more power. The more I yield to
this Divine function, the more powers become available to me
and the more complex becomes my play with
others." To understand the transformation and enlightenment of Adi Da Samraj it is important and necessary to understand that Enlightenment or Realization has a cosmic and a yogic or energetic process associated with it. The Evolution of Adi Da
Samraj -
1939 - Born with intuition of "Bright" (Brilliant Clear White Heart-Light). Columbia 1960 - Enlighenment - "awakening, utter transformation, sudden realization, conscious realization and intuition of the Divine reality, Amrita Nadi". Testing, psychic opening, internal work of writing leads to external work Spring 1964 - Finding a teacher, Albert Rudolph (Rudi - Rudrananda). Spring 1967 "The fulfillment of my own work of
self-transcendence in the context of the..four(th) stage of
life was...in..a..spontaneous ordeal of ego-death (three and
one-half years previous to..my...Re-Awakening" "After a time I got up from the
floor. I walked around and beamed joyfully at the room. The
blissful, unthreatened current of reality continued to
emanate from my heart, and not a pulse of it was modified by
my own existence or the existence of the world. I had
acquired a totally new understanding. I understood Narcissus
and the whole truth of suffering and search. I saw the
meaning of my whole life to that moment. Suffering, seeking,
self-indulgence, spirituality and all the rest were founded
in the same primary motivation and error. It was the
avoidance of relationship in all its forms." 1968 Discovery, contents of mind and body experience are not what needs to be handled. "the one who reacts is also part of the contents. what is directly experienced is simply the mind itself, is the mechanism, the screen that reflects experience, the complex of I-That." There is only Consciousness. Sadhana is necessary for purification. 1969 July ends relationship with Scientology and in August returns to India and spends a month with Baba Mutananda. Recevies name from Muktananda, Sri Dhyanananda Yogi. "...You are a promising student of Shree Gurudev Ashram. Chiti Shakti, the Kundalini, which brings about Siddha Yoga, is activated in you. You have also studied Vedanta.. The Inner Self which is the secret of Vedanta, the basis of religion, the realisation of which is the ultimate object of human life, is awakened in you. Only he who has himself seen can show unto others. On the same principle you can now initiate others into meditation." Swami Prakasananda shows Franklin the fifth stage signs of Spiritual Transfiguration of the physical body Returns to New York. In November finishes 'Water and Narcissus'. Begins teaching.
1970 - Franklin Jones May - returns to India to live. June - Vision of Virgin Mary July - August - Christian Pilgamage August - Settles in Los Angeles. September - 'Attains' full Enlightenment at the Vedanta Temple in Los Angeles. Shakti and Siva merge. First of the three Siddhis. The Siddhi was associated with the seven stages of life and it's culmination in Full Enligtenment.
People begin to come to him and his teaching begins, The Way of Understanding In this period Franklin becomes
enlightened, but we have to remember there is a 'force'
associated with his presence. Many
who were with him in Los Angeles
prior to him opening the bookstore testify to his
extraordinary presence, even in locations he had been in a
presence could be felt. This presence is the siddhi or
shakti power associated with Franklin which he describes the
days leading up to his enlightenment 'experience' in the
Vedanta Temple in Los Angeles. "I went to the temple and
asked Her to come and dwell permanently in me, and always to
manifest Herself to me wherever I was. When I left I felt
Her with me, and when I arrived at home, I continued to feel
Her constant Presence Filling the space." The Shakti and Franklin's enlightenment are tied together. What becomes apparent when you read Adi Da's writings and witness his 'evolution' one can see a 'pattern' of changes and a sort of development that matches his 'seven stages of life' teaching, obviously referring to the higher stages of human development. It is important the remember that the 'individual' Franklin Jones or the identity of the separate individual was no longer there. Many people who have had contact with Franklin Jones at this time (and later) comment on the 'absence' or 'death' of a separate person. "No one was there" is a common observation when commenting about what Adi Da appears as. Adi Da himself talks about this: "I don't have any sense of
identification with this life. I don't have any images about
it that particularly impress me as being my own. I mentioned
to you how, after the event in the Vedanta Temple, I would
sit down and meditate and other people's minds and bodies
would arise. I would work with them just as if they were my
own, and it was all my own, without any sense either of
identification with or separation from any of it. It was
just the pattern arising to be meditated. just so, there is
no sense in me of identification with these vehicles at the
level of life." So now he apparently enters the true Bodhisvatta phase of life. Not the phase where he relinquishes his enlightenment but now becomes a direct agency of the Enlightened state of Mind. --------------------- The second Siddhi: The Siddhi of meditating all others, the spontaneous awakening of purification, meditation, and Spiritual signs in others through his regard, by their spending time in his company, or by them giving him their regard at a distance. "This confrontation...is unlike our ordinary experience...life provides conditions whereby they are indulged, frustrated or avoided. But in (this relationship) of the Heart what arises is confronted by silence without and the Heart within" For the skeptics this is where they bow out (or react against). They bow out because the whole thing becomes 'other worldly' and no longer reflects their physical or psychological understanding of how the world works. It just gets too weird. And it does! There is the body and the natural
identification with it, there are memories and habit
patterns of mind and body. In his notes after his realization he writes: "I have one motive now in the midst
of all of you. It is to be heard. I appear now as a
communication. I am the other side, who speaks in time and
space, I am that One. The Universe is my present work. My
efforts are not in the great search. All my efforts, my
force, is creative, emerging, appearing and making possible
the universe of love. Thus, you can understand the reason
for my appearance in my present form. I am not Franklin. I
am the universe of love. I am all of this. Franklin is a
form of my speech. He has no independent existence.
Therefore, he does not appear separate from me, nor from
you. His moods are my own, and also those of the present
time, But I am the universe of love. And I will be
heard." -------------------- Acknowledgment ? Franklin looks for
historical references to his 'experience' and
understanding Previously - Swami
Muktananda's letter 1969
giving him the right to teach meditation to others
"according to the rules of the lineage." (Saraswati
order). The
Spiritual Instructions of Swami
Muktananda
Franklin goes to India and returns with the name Bubba Free John. Franklin visits Muktananda to propose four questions. He does not get any answers or acknowledgment. Teaching demonstrations
begin
The
Sadhana of Franklin Jones
(Bubba Free John) - 1973
"The Blessed Lord said : This
imperishable Yoga...handed on down the line, the King-Sages
knew. This yoga by great efflux of time decayed in the
world, O Parantapa. This same ancient yoga hath been to-day
declared to thee by Me, for thou art My devotee and My
friend ; it is the supreme Secret. The "cosmic birthday joke" This event started a process of relative seclusion and his asana of "Standing Firm". Read in Enlighenment of the Whole Body, p.81 paragraph - The seventh stage if full
Change in Grace - Demonstration of Grace Bubba receives full 'Acknowledgment' of his realization from Ramana and also simultaneously from the Cosmic Mandala. Acknowledgment = Revelation Beginning of his ultimate work.
Which is todemonstrate the Transformation of conditions to
the point of Translation of the whole body-being into the
Radiance of Bhava Samadhi (in Transfiguration, Regeneration,
or Ascension-Translation). "It was at the crucial moment, then,
that Heart-Master Da began to fully ackowledge a startling
truth: The Enlighened Process occurring in Him was no long
being mediated, catalyzed, or even corroborted in any way by
any conditional agent whatsoever - even another Enlightened
Adept ..... He was truly "alone in God". "I can now be available to those who will know how to make use of Me, who will value a relationship with Somebody who is not longer psycho-physcially constricted....(one) who represents a pure Agency of Absolute Intensity."
On September 13, 1979, Adi Da sat down and wrote a letter to his devotees confessing that his name is “Da”, the One Who is “Manifest As all worlds and forms and beings”. "Now the name by which people refer to me is prefaced by
the name "Da," which is a kind of title traditionally used
to refer to one who teaches, renounces himself, or gives of
himself in the service of others" "I now finally declare my renunciation" "In my own case, acceptance of the broader conditions of
outer renunciation could not occur until I had fulfilled the
obligations of communicating the Teaching to devotees"
End of Teaching Work. The third Siddhi awakened. The Siddhi of tapas or renunication. Beezone paraphrase: "You will not be able to understand it because it is a demand and until you are able to accept that demand it will be unacceptable to you." Spiritual event, initiated (not an event in itself) on 1/11/86 and is continuing. January 11, 1986, was a sudden and spontaneous transition.... to My Work as the Eternally Free-Standing, and always presently “Emerging”, Divine World-Teacher. It was a Transition in My Disposition from My Work of Submitting to others.... to simply Surrendering My human Body-Mind into My own Self-Condition. "My work as heart-teacher and my
struggle to generate the teaching argument in every detail
is complete. Hereafter, those who are interested will simply
"consider" my always heart-revealing word and leelas, and
they will practice true devotion to me. Now my work is only
that of the true heart-master, standing free, always
blessing all to listen to me and to hear me and to see me
where I stand. And only those who have heard me can also see
me with, and at, and as the heart." April 11, 1986 formally accepts "sannyasa diksha" accepting the name Love-Ananda. see The Order of My
Free Names
Aug 1988, Adi Da speaks about the Emergence:
"I have not wanted to say very much about this process...this process cannot be accurately communicated through language... one has to sensitize themselves..." In the beginning Adi Da tried to describe the event in terms of what others perceived it to be...death....but that was not actually the event, "I simply allowed people their own experiential perception....and tried to help them understand what they had perceived"... Submitting the body to devotees changed to Surrendering the body into Self-Condition. Not a physical death and resurrection. What was unique was a 'turnabout' in My own Disposition relative to the body. Before the Emergence there was a submission of the body to others, I could teach them......I used my own body as a means of identification by submitting to their condition...reflecting people to themselves. In a moment this method was relinquished....due to the failure of My Teaching Work...this was a despair collapse bodily and emotionally....and utter relinquishment of the body...giving up the body... then the turnabout...the despair disappeared...no more giving the body up to death...I was simply (as always) simply 'standing In and As my True Nature Sacrificial Act unique kind of Tapas ..producing more Brightness... Not a death but a yogic swoon (Bhava Samadhi) Began as a struggle with devotees Talk by Kanya Tripura Rahasya : Ecstatic proclamation about the uniqueness ...whose appearance surpasses anything that has ever existed "Most profound acknowledgment that one may make of Adi Da" In her talk she hoped "his message" (Divine Emergence) would transform your understanding of his birth. His message is most profound and fundamental. He is no longer working with just devotees but the whole world. Establisheds the Advaitayana
Buddhist Communion which acknowledges the relationship
between the Way (That He Teaches) of Adidam and the Great
Tradition as a whole.
Shakti told him "Stand Firm". March 16, 1988
“Da Avabhasa” was the primary Name used in public by Avatar Adi Da Samraj from 1991 through 1994. In 1991, Avatar Adi Da was presented
with a song praising Him as “Avabhasa”. Avatar Adi
Da Received the words of this song as an acknowledgment of
Who He Is, indicating, on the last day of April 1991, that
He accepted “Da Avabhasa” as one of His True
Names, and the principal Name by which He was to be called.
Though it is no longer used as His primary Name, “Da
Avabhasa” is still an appropriate reference to Avatar
Adi Da
"by His Divine Re-Awakening and Work, He had brought into
the earth and the conditional realm altogether the Spiritual
Powers and Divine Grace that now makes possible the seventh
stage Awakening in the case of all others"
 1994 - Adi Da On September 7, 1994, Adi Da Samraj experiences another Yogic Event that signifies His Divine Work has come to Completeness. (Santosha Event) “Adi Da” is the principal Name of Avatar Adi Da Samraj. The Name “Adi Da” was
Revealed to Adi Da (then known as “Da Avabhasa”)
on October 7, 1994. “Adi” is a Sanskrit word that
means “first”, “primordial”,
“source”. It is additionally defined as
“primary”, “beginning”,
“commencement”, and “first fruits”.
In early 1997, Adi Da Samraj
experiences a profound physical ordeal that corresponds to
the creation of a new Text, Hridaya Rosary.
He later Revealed that, in that event, He had completed the "opposite" of His Yogic Descent in 1986 — while His Avataric Divine Self-"Emergence" was the completion of His Descent into the realm of conditional beings, the Lopez Island Event was His Direct Ascent, to the Primal "Bright" Spiritual Self-Condition of Conscious Light April 16, 2000 I cannot describe My Blessing Work
in a way that makes all that much sense to you except to say
that I actually participate, all the time, in the events and
circumstances that potentially effect the global
possibilities of mankind’s survival but I do so outside
of the physical.
2007 - Failure of Submission Work "To rightly understand My Divine Avataric Life and Work, it is essential to understand This Change in My Own Approach and My Own Disposition."
"In the years after January
11, 1986, there was no significant response to Me. Indeed, I
was required to endure the demonstration of implacable
indifference in human beings, to the point that My Impulse
to continue Working in the Manner of Self-Submission utterly
Vanished — most conclusively, on July 10, 2007.
"
2006-2008 "...everything about Bhagavan's
Life and His Revelation-History (or Leela) is to be measured
against the final three years of His Life..."
The Revelation of His Final Work - Situated, Revealed, Planted and Waiting for a Response - The Walk-About Way "It's up to you now and profoundly consequential for human history altogether" "you must never relate to Me as a merely localized entity" I Am Here Neither Outer Nor Inner Is The Space of Reality Itself
2008 - November
