Adi Da’s teachings take the great ancient traditions forward, not by negating them, but towards their fulfillment.

Adi Da Samraj has created a body of work that surpasses in its force and insight that of any other author and teacher of our time.
PAUL E. MULLER-ORTEGAProfessor of Religion, University of Rochesterauthor, The Triadic Heart of Siva -

Adi Da Samraj is a man who has truly walked in Spirit and given true enlightenment to many.
SUN BEARfounder, the Bear Tribe Medicine Society -
Adi Da Samraj has spoken directly to the heart of our human situation — the shocking gravity of our brief and unbidden lives. Through his words I have experienced a glimmering of eternal life, and view my own existence as timeless and spaceless in a way that I never have before.
RICHARD GROSSINGERauthor, Planet Medicine; The Night Sky -
Adi Da Samraj and his unique body of teaching work offer a rare and extraordinary opportunity for those courageous students who are ready to move beyond ego and take the plunge into deepest communion with the Absolute. Importantly, the teaching is grounded in explicit discussion of necessary psychospiritual evolution and guides the student to self-responsibility and self-awareness.

California Pacific Medical Center -
That God can, among other things, actually incarnate in human form once seemed unbelievable to me. But reading the books of Avatar Adi Da obliterated all doubt about the existence of God right now, here on Earth in human form.
CHARMIAN ANDERSON, PH.D.psychologist; author, Bridging Heaven and Earth
and The Heart of Success -
The [writings of Adi Da Samraj] are the most doctrinally thorough, the most philosophically sophisticated, the most culturally challenging, and the most creatively original literature on radical nonduality currently available in the English language.
JEFFREY KRIPAL, PH.D.J. Newton Rayzor Professor of Religious Studies and Chair of the Department of Religious Studies, Rice University, Houston, Texas
author, Kali’s Child -
Nothing like this has ever been Revealed before. We have waited for this moment in history for countless lifetimes. Adi Da Samraj is the True Heart of the world.
ROGER SAVOIE, PH.D.philosopher, writer, and translator;
author, La Vipère et le Lion: La Voie radicale de la Spiritualité -
I believe that art should always be a surprise. It must create, even in the critic, not emotion, but a sense of insecurity. When one views Adi Da’s art, it is easy to see ‘pop art’, ‘op art’, all the possible linguistic, ethnological, and iconographic references; but, in the end, the final work is always a surprise. With Adi Da’s work, I did not simply find myself in front of a new personal iconographic universe but rather in front of images that returned me to an experience of ‘epiphany’.
ACHILLE BONITO OLIVAItalian art critic, historian, and past Director of the Venice Biennale
-
It is a rare artist who can convey, convincingly, the sense of being face to face with the source of being. Adi Da can clearly live in the depths without succumbing to their pressure, bringing back pearls of art to prove it.
DONALD KUSPITCritic, Professor of Art History and Philosophy, State University of New York at Stony Brook

Not-Two Is Peace contains wisdom that can transform the current and ongoing world crises that so desperately need effective conflict resolution. If truly acted upon, what Adi Da advocates has the power to bring an end to the horrors and suffering that are the result of our mad need to differentiate between “us” and “them”.
HUGH O'DOHERTYJohn F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

In a world beset with innumerable challenges, Not-Two Is Peace offers a new vision for the future. Adi Da emphasizes “prior unity” as the basis for our decisions and actions. If we proceed with putting the interests of the whole of humanity first, then there is the possibility of growth and development for the nearly seven billion people on the planet, not just a privileged minority. Such wisdom cannot be ignored.
