I have not had a dream of Adi Da that I can recall since His Mahasamadhi in November 2008, this one was very powerful, and I awoke instantly and could record it. It had a strong impact on me for days
I was walking and suddenly Bhagavan Adi Da came into my view, He was dressed in Sannyasin orange moving quickly, absolutely radiant, behind him was a renunciate female devotee N. I rushed to her and whispered “How can I serve Him? ”
She spoke (and indicated) with enthusiasm and need, pointing to steep Temple steps that Adi Da was quickly approaching, “support Beloved as He climbs, take His weight against you”
I raced to the point where the Master began to climb and moved to support Him with my body, others seemed to be on the other side or in front of Him ( that is, a group of us) he just leaned into me, not speaking and I felt His utterly surrendered state, the feeling was extremely intimate and gentle. He reached the top, somehow, without speaking I communicated my love and appreciation of His appearance.
Bhagavan Adi Da and N. vanished from view and I gathered with hundreds of devotees many I knew and others just “seemed” familiar, a great Celebration was in progress. A youthful man who I did not recognize said ( something like)
” There are 3 new young men (devotees) in the India Mission” This seemed very important to him, and he let me know he was completely exhausted.
The gathering was grouped around a series of booths or tents, that seemed to hold Siddha like teachers and forms, I got a flash of a man that may be appearing in the West (now or soon) with some connection to Adi Da’s work (not sure what the connection was, he seemed to be in the siddha yoga or related tradition and have seen or sensed him in dreams before)
I saw a woman’s face looking like Anandamayi Ma
In another stall many young goddess or shakti women were basking in a hot spring pool, as I went closer I realized it was some sort of Bliss pool and they were ecstatic, just “blissed-out”, utterly
In another booth were shamanic types dealing with more gross powers and forms.
The whole feeling of the dream was India connected.
Postscript : May 6
Just watched a video of the renunciate visualized in this dream N. leading a pilgrimage to many of the Holy Sites and temples and ashrams associated with Adi Da’s life and work in India, wonderful ! It was clear to me on watching this that this dream was my tuning in to that event. The booths I mentioned above were the temples and Holy Sites, many of the deities there and forms were seen and felt, via this dream, the young man I mentioned was also there, the women at one particular ashram, and who I thought looked like Anandamayi Ma were present there, the shamanic types were the hill tribe ecstatics, shown. All in all proved ( or added to the proof) to me that psyche extends passed the personal mode
Beezone has recently reprinted an article from a 1974 copy of The Dawn Horse Magazine. It’s a gritty, raw, unfiltered account of a fully illumined Master, doing His uncompromising Work travelling with one western devotee (still very much in the process of learning what “Guru” means) with ancient and modern spiritual sources in India. The account has no political correctness, and without doubt is full of “offense”, to just about everyone, it certainly makes me squirm in parts and I am sure many others will as well. However it unmistakeably reveals the incredible and uncompromising integrity of Adi Da wherein he would engage everyone and anyone in this always sacrificial and Divinely madcap, dangerous adventure. Outrageous humour blend with absolute spiritual seriousness, the audacity of it, is quite shocking particularly to the modern taste. I have spent time in India ( visiting some of th sites listed) so it has a little more reality to it, perhaps for those who have been there.
