Adi Da Samrajashram, Anniversary of Adi Da’s First Footstep on (October 17)

Adidam is a spiritual community founded by Adavita Vedanta teacher Franklin Jones (1939–2008), better known by his religious name Avatar Adi Da Samraj, believed by his followers to have been a fully enlightened guru (teacher).
Each year in October, they begin a three-month period punctuated by the commemoration of the most significant events in a three-month holiday cycle that begins with the celebration of Adi Da’s receiving citizenship from Fiji on October 23. In 1983, Adi Da moved to Fiji. This was the outgrowth of a decision he had made a few years earlier to change his method of teaching his disciples. He had announced his role as human incarnation of the Invisible Divine. He subsequently initiated a small group of his devotees into an esoteric order and announced that he would begin to work these few for the sake of all. He also began an intense search for a Hermitage. That search led him first to Hawaii and then in 1983 to Fiji. For six months they wandered the Fijian Islands, when news came that a patron-devotee had purchased the Fijian island of Naitauba. Adi Da and his entourage landed at the island on October 27, 1983.

He had found his Hermitage and the place where he would do most of his spiritual work for the rest of his life. He saw it as a sacred place that would also have particular salvic import for humanity. He would also apply for and receive citizenship from the nation of Fiji.

His landing and taking his first step on Naitauba is now seen by his disciples as one of the more important moments of his human life. October 27 is a day for reflection on the meaning of the Hermitage and his movement to Fiji. Two additional important events would happen in Fuji now remembered as the Day of Adi Da’ Avataric Divine Self-Emergence and the day of the Native Establishment Beyond East and West.
