"Who is Adi Da, and what does he say about Jesus?" On the first question, please take a look at the website: www.adidam.org On the second, here are a couple of paragraphs, randomly chosen: <<<JESUS IS LIFE The historical person of Jesus is now beyond the ordinary reach of mankind. He has gone on to fulfill his own evolutionary destiny in the realm of Nature. Only the Living God, or the Transcendental Reality to which Jesus pointed with his entire life and Teaching remains for us to embrace in love. We must surrender to the Life-Principle, the Living God, the Holy Spirit, the Radiant Self of all beings, Who is the Truth, the Way and the Destiny of Man. If you like, you can name that Living Reality "Jesus", or "the Christ", but do not threaten and deny the rights of those who name that same Principle by other names. Every religion is simply an historical intuition of the One and Only Life-Principle. Therefore, people in other traditions than the Christian tradition name that same Reality by other names, such as Yahweh, Allah, Krishna, the Atman, Brahman, Om, the Buddha, Nirvana, or the Tao. And it is time for us to see beyond the names we have given to Life. It is time we surrender ourselves bodily to the Life-Principle and accept compassionate and loving responsibility for the wisdom and welfare of all mankind.>>> Adi Da has said a great deal about Jesus (and almost every Spiritual Teacher from the earliest times). He has produced an annotated bibliography of about 2,000 Spiritual books from ALL traditons, under the title of THE BASKET OF TOLERANCE. Part of his Teaching-work has been to show the interrelatedness of these Teachings. If you want, send me a PM with your address and I will send you a free book. You can send me one from your Tradition. Namaste! Jim
