Adidam
Middletown, California,
United States
 A life submitted to a fully enlightened teacher. Adi Da Samraj founded the Way of Adidam (or the way of the heart) in 1972. Its purpose is to realize God, to invoke God. Cooperative living is one of many disciplines we happily observe. One must be a formally acknowledged devotee of Adi Da Samraj in order to participate. For more information, read _The Promised God-Man Is Here_ or _The Knee of Listening._ For a free brochure on the way of Adidam contact us.
We have communities around the world--northern California; southern California; Seattle; Boston; Washington, DC; Chicago; Toronto; London; Amsterdam; Australia; New Zealand; Hawaii; and Fiji.
