The Eternal Stand Celebrating the Establishment of Adi Da Samrajashram, the Hermitage-Island and Word-Blessing-Seat of His Divine Presence, Avatar Adi Da Samraj
Excerpt from the Introduction by Ruchiradama Quandra Sukhapur, senior devotee in the Ruchira Sannyasin Order
Avatar Adi Da’s Birth and Revelation-History in this world occurred for one purpose—to Awaken every one to the Divine Domain, the Conscious Light That Is His Very Form and State…. Adi Da Samrajashram (the Island of Naitauba, in Fiji) is a manifestation and pure vehicle of Avatar Adi Da’s Divine Intention in this world.Adi Da Samrajashram is a Transmission-Center, the place on Earth where Avatar Adi Da’s Blessing-Work has its primary Seat. Prayers and invocations are made here twenty-four hours a day, in temples and holy sites created by Avatar Adi Da. His Divine Presence is Eternally Alive at this most Holy Hermitage-Island, and He can always be “Located” at heart, for all time—here and everywhere.
Adi Da Samrajashram Is My Place of Hermitage, Where I have Come, Stepping out of the “world”—simply to Be As I Am.
This Island-Hermitage Is the Principal Place that I Am here to Empower in this “world”.
This Island-Hermitage Is a Holy Place of Divine Self-Realization.
This Island-Hermitage Is a Place of transcending separate “self”.
This Island-Hermitage Is the Principal Seat of My Divine Avataric Self-Radiation to the “world”.
My Hermitage Is a Place of Transmission and a Place of serious practice.
—January 1, February 25, and August 7 and 11, 2006 Adi Da Samrajashram*
