In this extraordinary occasion recorded on January 6, 2006 at the Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary in California, Adi Da Samraj recites His own renderings of the Advaitic texts Maneesha Panchakam, Dasasloki, and the Devikalottara. It is enlivening to hear Avatar Adi Da bring the essence of these ancient texts to life, and to feel how He completely and utterly combined Himself with the tradition of the Advaitic Sages.
On the first two discs, Avatar Adi Da recites three Advaitic texts that He considered to be “among the greatest texts ever made”. Not only does Avatar Adi Da clarify their hidden treasures and ancient truths, He also explains why the meaning of a sacred text can be communicated only by someone who has Realized the truth of such a text.
On that unforgettable winter evening, Avatar Adi Da spoke to His devotees about the universal Truths these great texts communicate and explained the specific points that distinguish His offering from that of the Great Advaitic Sages. With great clarity, Avatar Adi Da also expounded upon the scientific myth of “matter” and the religious myth of a separate “God”. Avatar Adi Da then described the fundamental practice in His Company for those who choose to become His devotees, and He described how this practice is in the likeness of the ancient tradition of Guru-devotion, as advocated by the Great Sages.
Disc One: “The Five Declarations of Ultimate Knowledge” (Maneesha Panchakam) and “Ten Declarations of The Transcendental Self-Identity of Consciousness Itself” (Dasasloki), renderings.
Disc Two: “The Way of Knowledge That Becomes Possible Only At The Final Stage of Maturity” (Devikalottara), rendering.
Disc Three: “Reality (Itself) Is All The God There Is”, Discourse.
About The Gnosticon Discourses Series
In the fall of 2005, Avatar Adi Da Samraj began to create His own renderings of numerous principal texts from the traditions of the great Non-dualist Sages. By virtue of His own intrinsically egoless State, Avatar Adi Da identifies the essential Revelation of each text, then speaks it plainly. His renderings, therefore, are not mere translations, but Transmitted Revelations of the true and intended meaning of these great texts.
As Avatar Adi Da completed each new rendering, He would gather with His devotees (in person and via the internet) to first read His new work and then to discourse on the distinctions between the Realization (and methods) described in the Non-dualist text and His own Reality-Revelation and Way. He thus clarified, with exacting detail, the specific qualities that make His Revelation and Way utterly unique in the Great Tradition of religious, Spiritual, and Transcendental Instruction.
The collection of Avatar Adi Da’s renderings and related discourses became the seed of a book—The Gnosticon—in which He thoroughly examines the Transcendental Teachings of the ancient Sages in relation to His Transcendental Spiritual Way of Adidam.
