"This is not merely my personal opinion; this is a perfectly obvious fact, available to anyone of intelligence, sensitivity, and integrity: The Dawn Horse Testament is the most ecstatic, most profound, most complete, most radical, and most comprehensive single spiritual text ever to be penned and confessed by the Human Transcendental Spirit. That seems an objective fact; here is my own personal and humbler opinion. I am honored (even awed) to be allowed in its Presence, to listen to and Hear the Potent Message of the Heart-Master Da. How can the soul not bow down to such a Message? What other is the appropriate response? How can I not say what I am saying? How, in the face of such a Testament, can we possible justify neglect?

At the very least, it is perfectly obvious that there is now no excuse whatsoever for any intelligent and spiritually-minded person, of whatever persuasion, not to be at least a student (or one who simply studies the Written Teachings) of Master Da Free John. The days of denial are over; this nonsense of neglect cannot continue, with any rational reason. I ask my friends, my students, my readers, even my casual acquaintances, to see and recognize and--above all--confess the Realization that Master Da is.

I do not understand why so many thousands of people--who have heartily expressed to me the opinion that my own written works express great clarity, judgment, and understanding--balk and look in disbelief when I speak ecstatically of the Heart Master Da. It is as if my friends believe everything I say except that Master Da is a genuine Adept, Free at the Heart, Confessed in Radiance, Transcendent to it all. How has my judgment suddenly lapsed in regard to this Man? I am as certain of this Man as I am of anything I have written--in fact, as certain as I am of my own hand (which apparently claps by itself in solitude when it comes to this Great Issue). So I make only one request: if you do only one thing to test my judgment in this matter, please read this Dawn Horse Testament cover to cover (and I mean cover to cover), an then I will be glad to argue with you if you still wish--but not before. And, I think, we will then see who the Master of the Heart really is. Is that not fair? Read this Man, Listen to this Man, Hear this Man, then See Him. And then, I think, you will stand Smiling. What else do you really want? What else can I say?"

Many have read Adi Da's books cover to cover, but few have pierced the teachings. Adi Da's Dawn Horse Testament is the song of enlightenment of a profoundly enlightened adept. One cannot absorb His rapturous samadhis through “reading”, any more than one can discover Beethoven through merely reading the Ninth Symphony manuscript. Until one can assimilate the Divine songs of an enlightened master in meditative absorption, rather than merely reading the chapters, the transcendental samadhis of Adi Da Samraj will remain obscure.

The assimilation of the four samadhis of Adi Da is not about what others say or write about Master Da, but rather the discovery of the Divine Secret within your consciousness. When you have mastered the four samadhis of Adi Da, the ultimate truth of your Identity, and that of Adi Da Samraj, will be Self-evident.

The Dawn Horse Testament is the ultimate guide to the mastery of transcendental awareness. The incomparable western master Adi Da Samraj (Da Avabhasa) exquisitely illuminates the mystery of Who you Ultimately Are, intensifying meditative awareness through the ajna door into the incredible mastery of Divine Ignorance, Divine Realization, and Divine Being. The Ultimate Answers within Transcendental Awareness await the arrival of the newly awakened meditator's assimilation of the four transcendental samadhis of Adi Da Samraj.

Tranquility and insight are the essential requirements. Tranquil absorption is the foundation for insight into the nature of mind and ultimate reality.  When thought projections are cleared the mind becomes stable and immobile. Just as salt dissolves in water, the mind dissolves into its intrinsic nature. Within the still of the profoundly absorbed mind of meditation the samadhis of Adi Da Samraj are revealed through transformations in consciousness.

The unenlightened mind of the average reader believes that it is the guru who is in some special trance state. Just the opposite is true. Unless you are an already enlightened master, it is you who are in the trance state, entrained in the doings of the verbal mind of self and society. You create your world through your inner dialog, often suffering needlessly, and rarely consider that what you tell yourself has no more truth than the voice of delusion.

Meditate on the nature of your awareness at this very moment. You believe in a word designated time called past, while no such state of time has ever been observed and simply does not exist. You consider the past to be as real as a ring on your finger. I say to you that if there were such a thing as past you could at the very least retrieve the past, or show the past to someone, or return to the past, or photograph the past, or record the past in this very moment of now. Yet many of your actions, reactions, and plans are based upon an imagined state of time; no more real or available to you in this very moment of now, than in any other apparent moment that you have been witness to.

You are, and remain, the immutable, formless, and timeless witness of everything that arises in consciousness. If this were not so, where is the past moment? Where is the future moment? Is it not true that this apparent moment of now arises constantly, while considerations of past, and future actions and reactions are continually sliding off the plate of awareness? You Are the witness in consciousness, dreaming the world of the self, magically conjuring dreams of past, present, and future reality, while unknowingly and Truly remaining ever and always in the eternally present Now. There is no ‘out there’ beyond consciousness. If this is not so, then tell me, where is your ‘past’ of just ten years ago, ten months ago, ten days ago, or even ten minutes ago? For your amusement consider the legend of Narada.

Forget all that you have learned from parents, teachers, friends, society, and meditate to the point of radical seeing. Undo your entrainment in the teachings of the world and liberate your Being from within. The four transcendental samadhis of Adi Da Samraj reveal the radical Truth of the nature of consciousness and Its journey through eternity. Through the divinely ecstatic samadhis of Adi Da's Dawn Horse Testament, your journey in meditation will transform into a magnificent voyage of discovery, love, empowerment, and transcendental wisdom.

"Only those who are ready to go beyond themselves can taste the ambrosia that flows out of such a Master."

Ray Lynch, composer and musician, Deep Breakfast; The Sky of Mind
"My relationship with Adi Da Samraj....has only confirmed His Realization and the Truth of His impeccable Teaching."

Book Description
Avatar Adi Da Offers to everyone the ecstatic practice of devotional relationship to Him–explaining how devotion to an authentic Adept-Realizer has always been the source of true religion, and distinguishing true devotion from religious cultism.

From the Back Cover
"If there is a man today who is God-illumined, that man is Avatar Adi Da Samraj. Here is the most ancient tradition of mankind expressed in a way that is startlingly modern. There exists nowhere in the world today, among Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists or any other groups, anyone who has so much to teach. Avatar Adi Da is a force to be reckoned with--a Pole around which the world can get its bearings." (Henry Leroy Finch, author, WITTGENSTEIN-THE EARLY PHILOSOPHY and WITTGENSTEIN-THE LATER PHILOSOPHY) "Avatar Adi Da's RUCHIRA AVATARA GITA has been carved out of the Heart of a great, presently living Master, out of compassion for aspiring humanity. Only those who are ready to go beyond themselves can taste the ambrosia that flows out of such a Heart-Master as Avatar Adi Da. I feel this Gita will be of immense help to aspirants for a divine life." (M. P. Pandit, author, THE UPANISHADS; GATEWAYS OF KNOWLEDGE; STUDIES IN THE TANTRAS AND THE VEDA)

This book will touch and move you at heart., February 26, 2023
Reviewer: Matthew_Daubert@adidam.org
In all my life, I have never encountered a book like this. Avatar Adi Da Samraj's esoteric writings about the Guru-devotee relationship will touch and move you at heart. They will make you aware of the possibility that you can actually awaken to and be the very Divine Self of Infinite, Immortal Light. And that awakening, as the book explains, is not achieved by effort, but is Grace-Given, in the context of the love relationship with the Divine Guru. Just imagine the God-intoxicated devotees of Jesus, the Buddha, and Krishna, and the intimate, loving relationship they shared with one other. Just so, you can have this same relationship with the Divine Heart-Master, Bhagavan Adi Da Samraj, who has descended from the God-Realm out of overwhelming love and the desire to liberate everyone from suffering and awaken all to Himself. I urge you to read this book.

Gary Coates, Professor of Architecture, Kansas State University; editor, Resettling America: Energy, Ecology and Community.
"Receive this feast of blessings. It is a love song from the very Heart of God."

Book Description
Avatar Adi Da reveals the secret simplicity of truly finding the Divine: relinquishing all self-preoccupation and directly contemplating and meditating on the "Bright" Divine Person of Infinite Love-Bliss.

From the Back Cover
"With great force and loving abandon, Avatar Adi Da dances words into print. He openly confesses His compassion for all beings and calls everyone to release the painful habit and dreadful destiny of the separate self. Receive this feast of blessings. It is a love song from the very Heart of God." (Gary Coates, Professor of Architecture, Kansas State University; editor and author, RESETTLING AMERICA: ENERGY, ECOLOGY, AND COMMUNITY and ERIK ASMUSSEN, ARCHITECT) "What happens when the Living Master stops teaching, when he ends his brilliant and shocking discourse, yet remains among his disciples? When all that can be said, has been said, on this dense, implacable plane, the Master remains, calling his disciples to Pure Contemplation of his bodily human Form. This is the birth of fundamental and radical Scripture. When Avatar Adi Da Samraj says My bodily (human) Form is (Itself) the Teaching, this is an absolute Phenomenon to which all other truths must bear witness."

Da Love-Ananda Gita is a gift of perfect wisdom., June 5, 2023
Reviewer: Diane Bryan (bonobo@mindspring.com) from Potomac, MD
In my search for spiritual life I happened upon the teaching of Avatar Adi Da Samraj. I can see now that it was not an accidental happening, but an inevitable one. The first book by Avatar Adi Da that I ever studied was the Da Love-Ananda Gita.

Da Love-Ananda Gita is a gift of perfect wisdom. Its expression is direct and complete, and if you allow yourself to be immersed in it, a simplicity is revealed that will break your heart. How to live a life of Grace. That is what I always wanted, and I hardly dared to believe I was being given this secret so freely.

The book is really a love affair. It is the love between my heart and the Divine, exquisitely described and evoked. As Avatar Adi Da concludes the final essay, "What is a Greater Message than this?" --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

(Scott Anderson, M.D., director, Society for Orthomolecular Health Medicine) "No message of Liberation has ever been so direct.

Hridaya Rosary is attractive at the deepest level., June 22, 2023
Reviewer: Rob Meadows (rob@bearco.com) from U.S.
In one essay in this book, Adi Da says, "You cannot merely read my Wisdom-Teaching and 'get it'". He is right. I found that these writings were addressing some part of me far deeper than the thinking mind or even the emotional being. Throughout the book, he describes and recommends a process of "melting down" which I found overwhelmingly attractive at the deepest level. Carrying out the instructions in the book has re-arranged my orientation to life and my place in it. I feel more real, more balanced, more sane than ever before.

The essays and talks in Hridaya Rosary are sophisticated. When I tried to grapple with them mentally I just became frustrated. When I was able to relax the mind, then the words somehow enforced themselves at a primal point in me, at the heart. In these moments the wisdom of the book became intuitively clear and I felt a profound relief. At these times, it was obvious that the way things really are, Reality (with a capital R), is much different from what I ordinarily assume.

I believe this is the most efficacious instruction I have ever read.

Transcending the root-cause of collective suffering., July 28, 2023
Reviewer: Cortney Smith (clsmith@widomaker.com) from Williamsburg, VA
In Eleutherios, Adi Da Samraj reveals that the feeling of being a separate self is the root-cause of suffering individually and collectively. He reveals that this feeling is an activity we are generating at the core of our being. He also says that this activity can be gone beyond by communing with the egoless personal presence of truth and perfect happiness, which he freely states is his constant, conscious condition, moment to moment. He claims that this condition is who he is. I am struck not only by the penetrating clarity of Adi Da's teaching in Eleutherios, but by the fact that reading it gracefully reflected to me the ways in which I generate my own feelings of separateness and the ways I dramatize them. In one of the last essays in the book he calls the leaders of the world to examine themselves in the light of his teachings in the areas of social, political, and economic activities so that we might begin to grow beyond our terrible separative, egoic and collectively destructive tendencies.
