An interesting change in the past 12 months or so, has been the rise of the social network site, Facebook as a benign and friendly means for devotees, friends, interested people & readers of Adi Da Samraj to keep informed, keep in touch, read choice quotes and media and also perhaps to get a feeling for the culture of Adidam to some extent.
Many non-establishment religious and spiritual interest groups are finding such sites congenial. It is a lightweight form of doing things, not a place for complex discussion or great discrimination, more an “oasis”, fairly peaceful and untroubled.
Such places are definitely how people may come in contact with unorthodox views and traditions without a lot of the plain old prejudice, nastiness and stigma that may have had to be endured on the earlier forms of Internet media (and is certainly still around, and it’s naive to think this will vanish) This medium Just seems far more civilised, respectful & happier and allows praise without scorn, the friendship network adds a natural degree of trust and ease.

Don’t worry about it too much Richard, there will always be “party poopers” that’s always a liability :}
