The Silver Hall
Beloved Adi Da Samraj said his Transmission in the Silver Hall* is not just about the unconditional reality, but He Transmits the Revelation of the conditional reality as a means of becoming sensitive to it as pattern and egoity, such that one could have discrimination about it in terms of all experience, and that is a siddhi that He has and Transmits.
* Danavira Peetha – meaning “the Empowered Seat of the Hero of Giving”- also known as the “Silver Hall”, because of the color of the chair on which Adi Da would sit, and the dais on which his chair rests are trimmed in silver fleur-de-lis – is the core circumstance of Beloved Adi Da’s Eternal Transcendental Spiritual Transmission-Work with senior practicing devotees.
Michael Shaw: I see the great Grace of the Silver Hall process*. In fact, so many things that Bhagavan Said or did all together, have become clear to me as Perfect, Brilliant, and of great service to devotees. Before Bhagavan Adi Da Love-Ananda took His Divine Mahasamadhi, He revealed His Divine State to His devotees almost daily in the concentrated and set-apart circumstance of the Silver Hall. He showed us that His Divine Spiritual Body is not bound to His physical Body, even though He is contacted through beholding the Gift of His Form. Bhagavan showed us that He is Brightly pervading the room and beyond. He persisted until we could “see” Him there in the Hall as the Bright, a great Sphere that included His Body, but was also “larger” than His physical Body. And Bhagavan kept sitting with devotees. He revealed that this Spiritually alive Body we were finding, is the same as the Perfect Knower of the Preliminary Practice of Perfect Knowledge, that the tacit “knowing” of Bhagavan as His Transcendental Spiritual Blessing is always Prior, Spiritually Full as Love-Bliss Presence, without any separation, Present in the mere beholding of Him. He said that this discovery is profound and can radically alter the life of the devotee.
*Starting in 2006, Avatar Adi Da Offered an extraordinarily profound form of Sighting Him, for the specific purpose of being Initiated by Him into the Transcendental Spiritual process He
Activates in those who are truly prepared.

If a person has not established the fundamental adaptation they are not going to move on in practice… You can sit in the Silver Hall, but Transcendental Spiritual Initiation will not happen…Therefore, for this reason, I must consider the real process with everyone in every detail. I cannot allow devotees to bypass the foundation matters. – Ruchiradama Quandra Sukhapur Rani, 2012
