The Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam stands Continuous with, and Free in relation to, the traditional and worldwide gathering of all formal and informal renunciates, in all traditions within the total Great Tradition of humankind. I have Named this new order of True and Free renunciates “The Naitauba Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam.
The Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam is the most senior gathering of practitioners of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam. The Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam is the hierarchically central one and only culturally governing authority among, and in relation to, all the practitioners of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam—whereas the Sapta Na Sannyasin Order of Adidam does not exercise the role of governance, but, rather, simply embodies the authority inherent in Divine SelfRealization Itself. All members of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam are, by Vow, Called and Expected to be uniquely exemplary in all the disciplines and practices of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam, and to demonstrate that total practice of the Way of Adidam in the context of the life-discipline of perpetual retreat. As a necessary sign of qualification for full membership in the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam, the essential characteristic of indifference toward the “world”-in-and-of-itself, toward merely “worldly” purposes, and toward “worldly self-fulfillment” is required as a constantly evident demonstration in practice.
This characteristic of indifference is not merely a particular “personality-sign” or psycho-physical “attitude”. Rather, this characteristic of indifference—the indifference of neither-“yes”-nor-“no”—is a disposition based on how the four psycho-physical faculties are characteristically oriented. In the case of formal sannyasins in the Way of Adidam, the psycho-physical faculties are so intensively given to Me, in the context of to-Me-devoted right-life “self”-discipline, that the sign of abiding in the disposition of “Perfect Knowledge” is most profound. In the case of formal sannyasins in the Way of Adidam, establishment in the disposition of “Perfect Knowledge”—at first, in the preliminary form, and, in due course, in the “Perfect Practice” Form—is such that My Sannyasin devotees are characteristically abiding in the disposition that is Prior to separate “self” and “objects”. When such is the case, the four psycho-physical faculties are characterized by indifference—no longer habit-bound to “objects” and to modes of ego-patterning.
Altogether, formal sannyasins in the Way of Adidam are indifferent relative to the patterning of the psycho-physical faculties, and Stand Prior to the psycho-physical faculties. My Sannyasin devotees characteristically Stand in the “Perfect Knowledge” disposition, and are able to practice intensively on that basis. When the “Perfect Knowledge” disposition is stable, that disposition always Stands Prior to all ego-patterning. It is thus that the renunciate life of a formal sannyasin in the Way of Adidam is thoroughly “radical”. Formal sannyasin practice in the Way of Adidam is not about “dealing with” whatever comes up in the context of the psycho-physical faculties. Rather, formal sannyasin practice in the Way of Adidam is about the capability to readily Stand Prior to the psycho-physical faculties.
All full members of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam – and only the full members of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam – are Called and Empowered to Function as the Instruments of My Divine Avataric Blessing-Work, and, by their unique cultural service, to provide all other practitioners of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam with the principal Good Company that is necessary for the inspiration and guidance of their practice of the Way of Adidam.
All full members of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam must be formally acknowledged, formally practicing, fully matured, and uniquely exemplary practitioners of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam. They must be formally acknowledged practitioners of the “Perfect Practice” of the only-by Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam—and they are Called and Expected to demonstrate that “Perfect Practice” in the context of the life-discipline of perpetual retreat, and by the discipline of artful seclusion from the habitual pattern of conventional outward-directedness. They must be formally established single renunciates. They must be formally accepted residents of one of the Directly-by-Me Transcendentally Spiritually Empowered Sapta Na Sannyasin Hermitages or one of the Directly-by-Me Transcendentally Spiritually Empowered Free Sannyasin Sanctuaries. They must be formally acknowledged to be exhibiting and maintaining the true and stable signs of the Prior and Inherent transcending of all egoic “self”-identification with the sex-functions of the body-mind. And they must constantly and non-problematically demonstrate the life-practice of Yogically responsible single celibacy—which life-practice may, potentially, include the Yogic-responsibility-practice of the “own-body Yogic sexual exercise” and/or the own-bodyresponsible practice of Yogic “conductivity” massage—based on the non-strategic foundation of the Prior and Inherent transcending of all egoic “self”-identification with the functions and activities of the body-mind. And all full members of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam must formally accept all the service obligations and cultural responsibilities and personal disciplines associated with membership within the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam. Similarly, all members of the Sapta Na Sannyasin Order of Adidam must formally accept (and rightly fulfill) all the by-Me-Defined characteristics of Sapta Na Sannyas.
Within the general context of the Naitauba Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam, I have Established the Sapta Na Sannyasin Order of Adidam – the members of which are those of My seventh stage Free Sannyasin devotees in whom the Transcendentally Spiritually manifested sign of Priorly egoless indifference has become uniquely intense and life-pervading, such that a life entirely free of all social, organizational, cultural, and public obligations becomes both appropriate and necessary.
Each member of the Sapta Na Sannyasin Order of Adidam is to live in a basically solitary circumstance, within one of the Directly-by-Me Transcendentally Spiritually Empowered Sapta Na Sannyasin Hermitages. Members of the Sapta Na Sannyasin Order of Adidam will continue to associate with other devotees in the simple, daily course of renunciate life, but they will not maintain functional responsibilities relative to otherwise presumed social, cultural, organizational, or public obligations. For a Sapta Na Sannyasin, there is no obligation to engage any outward functioning, apart from the most fundamental obligation to simply be silently accessible, as part of the collective Instrumentality of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam, in the context of occasions of “Contemplative” sitting within a Directly-by-Me Transcendentally Spiritually Empowered Sapta Na Sannyasin Hermitage.
The members of the Sapta Na Sannyasin Order of Adidam are, as a general rule manifesting the Demonstration of the Divine Indifference phase of the seventh stage of life. Thus, for all My Sapta Na Sannyasin devotees, the fundamental “Event” is egoless Inherence in and As the Indivisible and Non-“different” Self-Nature, Self-Condition, and Self-State of Transcendental Spiritual Conscious Light— no matter what arises or does not arise.
In addition to the full members of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam, there are practitioners of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam who will be qualified for formal acknowledgement as novice participants in the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam. Such novice participants must engage the practice of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given Way of Adidam as single renunciates—and always most intensively, such that they may readily qualify for transition to the “Perfect Practice” of the Way of Adidam. Such novice participants must practice Yogically responsible single celibacy – always in the context of the formal approval of, and with constant formal accountability to, the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam. And, as part of their preparation for eventual full membership in the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam, such novice participants must undergo intensive training to fulfill all the personal disciplines, and also one of the specific service obligations and global cultural responsibilities, that are unique to the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam. Also, as must likewise be the case with full members of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam, novice participants in the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam must clearly demonstrate unique practice-evidence of the characteristic of indifference toward the “world”-in-and-of-itself, toward merely “worldly” purposes, and toward “worldly self-fulfillment”.
As an indication of his or her full membership within the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam,
My every such devotee is to be Given an appropriate renunciate Name. And every such devotee’s formal renunciate Name is to be followed by the identifying reference “Naitauba”, indicating the Naitauba Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam itself. My every devotee who is a full member of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam, or who is a novice participant in the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam, is to be Given the Title (or Designation) “Adi-Dasya” – which Title indicates “a true, and legally formalized, renunciate devotee who has devoted his or her entire being and life-circumstance to serving the egoless Person, and Divinely Self-Realizing the Divine Self-State, of the Avatar of Reality Itself, Adi Da”.
In due course, if and when he or she is fully and finally Confirmed in the Awakening of the only-by-Me Revealed and Given seventh stage of life in the Way of Adidam, My every devotee who is a fully established seventh stage formal member of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam is to be Given the Title “Adi-Sapta” – which Title indicates “a true, and legally formalized, renunciate devotee who most perfectly serves the egoless Person of the Avatar of Reality Itself, Adi Da, and who is formally acknowledged to have, in the seventh stage most perfect manner, Divinely Self-Realized His Divine Self-State by Means of His Divine Avataric Transcendental Spiritual Grace”.
In further due course, if and when he or she is Initiated as a member of the Sapta Na Sannyasin Order of Adidam, My every Sapta Na Sannyasin devotee is to be Given the Title “Sapta Na”..
As a renunciate Sign they are to embrace for the sake of the inspiration and guidance of all others, all full members within the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam and all members of the Sapta Na Sannyasin Order of Adidam are to wear formal clothing of the style and color required of them within the Sannyasin Orders of Adidam. In the case of all full members of the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam and all members of the Sapta Na Sannyasin Order of Adidam, such formal clothing consists of appropriate forms of dress that are either dyed in the traditional basic orange hue, signifying the “death” of the ego – and signifying the Self-Existing and Self-Radiant “Brightness” of My Inherently egoless Spiritual, Transcendental, and Self-Evidently Divine Self-Condition – or, alternatively, dyed in a uniform black hue, signifying the vanishment of the ego. And, in the case of all novice participants in the Free Sannyasin Order of Adidam, such formal clothing consists of appropriate forms of dress that are dyed in a uniform black or orange hue.
