When even secular thinkers such as the great 20th century philosopher Martin Heidegger warn us that "Only a god can save us now", we should wake up to the fact that today, humanity's very existence is hanging by a thread. In fact, we are all now in that long prophesied moment of global crisis known as the "End Time", "Dark Epoch", or Kali Yuga. Yet those same prophecies have also promised that in this moment of crisis a great Spiritual Realizer would appear and bring a Revelation that restores humankind to the Perfectly Liberating Way of Truth. Already recognized as the greatest Spiritual Genius of our epoch, there is a further, open and ecstatic "secret" to His appearance: The Divine World-Teacher, Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj, is that very God (or God-Man) and the Way of Adidam is that very Revelation for which we—all of us—have actually been waiting.

In this Internet broadcast introduction to Adi Da and the Way of Adidam, William Stranger, one of Adidam's most respected lecturers, considers why none of the existing religious and spiritual traditions, East or West, are up to the challenge of this time and how Avatar Adi Da's Revelation of Adidam has both fulfilled and uniquely transcended them all. William will identify the "supreme secret" of all religions and consider how the "radical" or "most direct" Way of Adidam offers everyone an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy a direct relationship with Adi Da Samraj and experience His Spiritual Transmission, which is the Divine Means of our Freedom.

In Adi Da's own words: "I Am an egoless, Un-armored Presence here. I Am the Self-Evidently Divine Person in the midst of humankind. I am not an 'other' to any one. I Am the egoless Divine Self (and Self-Condition, and Source-Condition) of all-and-All. I Am the Conscious Light of Reality Itself—all-and-All-Surrounding, and all-and-All-Pervading, and Standing Free As the Heart of Being. For those who would embrace a religious life based on heart-breaking Freedom, I Am here."

William Stranger has been a devotee of the Divine World-Teacher, Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj, since October 1973. Under the great Adept's Tutelage, he received a comprehensive education in humanity's wisdom-traditions. During these years, William has served Avatar Adi Da in a broad range of capacities, including groundskeeper, minister, missionary, educator, public speaker, writer, administrator, multi-media producer/director, and diplomat. He has represented Avatar Adi Da at a variety of public forums, including the Bay Area Interfaith Council (of which he was a co-founder), the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Ethics, the Parliament of the World's Religions, the 1999 Hague Appeal for Peace, the Synthesis Conference hosted by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, in Dharmasala, India, in 1999, and both the Paradigm Conference and the State-of-the-World Forum of the Gorbachev Foundation, which were held in 2000.

We look forward to seeing you.
