Divine Image Art of Adi Da Samraj www.adidam.org

[TadRapidly]

Adi, among other things..!...was one hell of a photoshop artist. Absolutely astounding work.

[LoveJoyPeaceComfort]

why did adi da say that Satan must be restored to heaven from whence he fell?

[zootsoot2006]

See the films of Tarkovsky for a similar focus on water as a metaphor for Spirit.

[bardoface]

Check Out David Spero, on youtube (and his videos are potent vehicles of Shakti Transmission) He Radiates Shakti just as Da, although without any of the trappings of presentation that Da utilized.

[MehdiArmy]

on 4:09 he has an image of naked women behind them fruit and between the women theres a tree all sybolising desire i dont like these images at all..thats the thing you people dont know about jinn and how they enter humans and make mischeif with humans in telling them they are on a high spiritual level..just like pharoah and his pyramids he built them with the help of jinn shapeshifting beings they helped pharoah look like a god on this earth..someone tell me adi da's wisdom then we'll see

[Savvy108]

Adi Da's Wisdom on all matters emotional-sexual is the most profound ever given to humankind by any Spiritual figure in all of history. Personally, I absolutely love the images of the naked women that Adi Da uses in his photographic work. It is an expression of beauty in the most real form, as it is not just "nice" or "pleasant" but revealing of the truly plastic nature of this realm of life and death.

[universetheverse]

i love the simplicity of these double exposures

[jaymacone]

Alas, Da has died. Become part of all of us, as He has been. He is in Heaven now, November 27, 2008

[ChristHeart1Eternal]

Sorry Adi Da for making those nasty videos about you. You did open my heart, and i did feel love with you. When i died i went to hell, but i now understand that it was MY sin that sent me there, not you. i am so ashamed and sorry.......

[caothrinoa]

Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!

[Vriak]

Love the art

[Querulo]

I'm italian and I'm very interested about Sri Adi Da, please, contact me in private way! Thanks!

[Ibeji]

Thank you. This is very beautiful.

[Chandirah]

Jaguarnoelle, thanks for the honesty. I appreciate your comment, laughed a little, as we do say he's 'incredible' a lot. I find Adi Da incredible, in the best way. I have been a student of his for 7 years now, I love him a lot. He has a ton of compassion, and that's hard to communicate via YouTube sometimes. SOme feel it instantly, others take longer. I hope you feel it, from him, or where ever, we could all use a little more :-)

Don't be put off by people's comments.

[jaguarnoelle]

You're welcome.

I admit some comments do bug me a bit, not yours, but some do. Those that do I'm gonna let pass though.

I'm glad you're feeling you get something out of your connection with Adi Da. Personally I don't feel attracted to him, but that's ok.

[Chandirah]

Yes, it is OK. We all have to go where our hearts take us, and who knows where that is. Mine took me to Adi Da, and that's done me very well. I hope you do as happily as I have, wherever you go. :-)

[jaguarnoelle]

Thank you. :)

[Winne777]

The Art is unbelievable beautiful. You have to be receptible though.

[chandramandala]

i find the spiral and sky images really magical, but also profoundly dissorienting the more i look - the form becomes space and the space becomes form, bearings of up and down loose sense, and suddenly i'm seeing a transparent field more than the pattern within it! I do look at those photos a lot though. You have to relax this objective reviewing of art, whether its a good object or bad object, and get involved with it instead, like the magic eye pictures, its a different involvement.

[jaguarnoelle]

You know what I noticed? The man talking about him kept saying "unbelievable" and "incredible".

Those are not really reasuring words. Incredible means not credible. Maybe he's saying the truth that he doesn't even know he knows.

I have to say also that I don't see compassion radiating from this man. Doesn't mean he doesn't have any but I'm not seeing it there. If you look at the "free hugs" video I'll bet you can see some compassion.

[cybervigilante]

I thought he was dead. I guess we can't blame him for the slobbering by acolytes, though. I see the same thing in the Osho crowd and find it tiresome. Yes, I understand the path of devotion, but it does cloy if you're not a devotee ;'). I'd like to have seen more of the art more clearly and larger than in tiny youtube screens, though. It's rather hard to judge here. Is it on a website somewhere? Was this done before CGI programs were commonly available?

[jaguarnoelle]

My first impression: Why is this "unbelievable"?

Dude said that so many times. There are a great many of revelatory artists out there. This is only one. If this guy wasn't a guru I really wonder how many of his followers would have bothered to notice his art.

I'm not saying the art is bad or without meaning or depth. I'm just seeing a lot of hero worship here.

~shrug~ Well whatever gets you through the night I guess.

[chandramandala]

i can't comment on it until i 'get' it! Aaarg!... What is the point of view being communicated?

[chandramandala]

I keep watching this clip. Is there somewhere that i can read about why His photos are sometimes like these two identical images, and sometimes multiple windows? Everyone is either blown away by his art or criticises it, but i to me it has become like trying to unravel a koan. Maybe in 10 years i'll be able to post an opinion.

[Chandirah]

I have watched this clip more than a few times now, and am still in awe of Adi Da's underwater photography. That really takes some extraordinary ability, besides how amazing and prolific the imagery is! Every one of the thousands of images I've been lucky enough to see have been Masterpieces!

I am utterly in awe, and it's so gratifying to feel that He is finally getting some recognition as a phenomenal artist, as well as the most amazing and Gracious Spiritual Master that He is..

[realguy7]

i am amazed by the beauty of his art. now i want to learn more about his spiritual wisdom and teaching. thank you!

[YodouKomuso]

Amazing that in the history of Contemporary Art ( not to mention in human history) there has never been an exhibition by a Spiritual Master at such an event as the Venice Biennale.Looking forward immensely to learning more about this exibition.

[adidasamraj]

Hello.

[bhuddazorba]

hello, can you send me a blessing. thanks adi.

[baryogenesis]

Please believe me, this is the true heart master - bator of many who have bent over to receive his blessing just like Hubbard, Master Eck or any religious "guru" to whom you open you head, heart and wallet. Go Bubba, go!

[ccccrackityjones]

As a child of an on/off devotee, I see bashing as a gut reaction- as a few people have said in response to this video, it is a very personal experience. I think any religious practice has its treacheries- but especially with living Guru's. I do believe he holds a Divine presence, but I have never followed close enough to feel deeply moved towards/ away from him. At 15 I got to see an exhibit of his photographs in California. I will say I was very moved by that.

[nothingbutstars]

He is extremely advanced and seriously not sane. It's amazing he is still

alive after all the self abuse. I would like someone who does not know who he is to judge his work. I've heard it is no big thing but I like it.

[ellis926]

Adi Da's art is going to be shown at this year's Venice Biennale. Already there is independent acclaim for Adi Da's art.

[Chandirah]

Thank you for posting this beautiful clip. Adi Da's art is truly outstanding.. Beauty like this only comes from Beauty. It's self-evident from his art that Adi Da is a very Great Being.

I am very grateful for my relationship with him.

[Raphaelabc]

The social character of Adi Da is Guru.

This is an undisputable fact that has tremendous implications, which are of course neither just good or just bad, rather a mix of the two, a fact neither lovers nor haters are mature enough to grasp.

[Josesukham]

God bless you enginelite to discover your projections!

[enginelite]

In Every Way, Adi Da Samraj is the Most Amazing and Loving and Helpful and Blessed Spiritual Heart Master and Teacher of our time!

God Bless everyone to discover the True Genius of Adi Da Samraj!!!

[cheko911]

By a glimpse of the art on this video, Adi Dam achieves a way to show us humans, the truth of life the way the love bliss state envisions it in many view points yet it is in one vision. I am beginning to love this truth encarnation as someone I can sacrafice my self for. I am full of self, therefore I speak in such manner, when one is not in self I shall speak in much "love-bliss" tongue, I love everyone here even those who don't understand that post the un-realized comments,

[missturee]

Absolutely Amazing!

[themancalledhorse]

this video blows the mind away. adi da beats any other spiritual being by far

[Jyotirveda2]

Being artistic doesn't mean one is spiritually advanced or even sane. Some of the greatest artists throughout history were either geniuses or totally mad. Adi Da is a temporary teacher whose particular version of Hindu teachings will be forgotten in due course of time.

[starfilms]

unbelievable man

[Jyotirveda2]

I believe this man is mentally ill, and his followers seriously deluded, but I must admit: the art in this clip is really amazing! Wow.

[blisspudding]

Then i am a deluded follower of a mentally ill man.. If only it be that simple ! beyond offence and defence with no words or mind, when you know you know and if being able to locate such love and Bliss is delusion then let it be so !!

[imoovy]

I've never seen or imagined anything like it ???  How do you see more of this work? Thanks for putting it up.
