Death and the Purpose of Existence: A Selection of Talks from the Wisdom-Teaching of the Ruchira Avatar (Liberating Word of Avatar Adi Da Samraj)

"Death is utterly acceptable to consciousness and life. There has been endless time of numberless deaths, but neither consciousness nor life has ceased to arise. The felt quality and cycle to death has not modified the fragility of flowers, even the flowers within the human body. Therefore, one’s understanding of consciousness and life must be turned to That Utter, Inclusive Truth, That Clarity and Wisdom, That Power and Untouchable Gracefulness, That One and Only Reality, this evidence suggests." Adi Da Samraj

This CD contains a collection of Talks and recitations that exemplify Adi Da’s essential Wisdom-Teaching on death. Includes a range of excerpts, taken from throughout the 30 years of Adi Da’s formal Teaching-Years, that cover topics such as serving a loved-one’s death process, fear of death as the foundation of all seeking, what really happens in the death process, preparing for death through real Spiritual practice in the company of a Realizer, the necessity for understanding and transcending the fear of death, and more. A must have for anyone interested in death.

What others have said about Adi Da:

Easy Death (Note from the publisher: this book is out of print, but you will find the same wisdom in this cd) is an exciting, stimulating, and thought-provoking book that adds immensely to the ever-increasing literature on the phenomena of life and death. But, more importantly, perhaps, it is a confirmation that a life filled with love instead of fear can lead to an ultimately meaningful life and death. Thank you for this masterpiece.

Adi Da Samraj and his unique body of teaching work offer a rare and extraordinary opportunity for those courageous students who are ready to move beyond ego and take the plunge into deepest communion with the Absolute. Importantly, the teaching is grounded in explicit discussion of necessary psycho-spiritual evolution and guides the student to self-responsibility and self-awareness.

I regard Adi Da Samraj as one of the greatest teachers in the Western world today.
