When Adi Da Samraj was born, in New York in 1939, he was completely aware of his Divine Condition. He existed only as this Radiant State, full of Love-Bliss, and named it the "Bright". Around the age of two years, in a spontaneous gesture of Love toward those around him, he relinquished the enjoyment of the "Bright" and identified with the self-contracted state of ordinary beings. This initiated an unprecendented ordeal of relentless investigation into the Nature of Reality.

Adi Da's teaching emerged from this free, direct and thorough consideration, and from his Perfect Realization of the "Bright". In the more than 35 years since he began teaching, Adi Da Samraj has communicated a vast store of Wisdom.
