21. The Sanskrit word “mandala” (literally, “circle”) is commonly used in the esoteric Spiritual traditions of the East to mean a symbolic depiction of the hierarchical levels of cosmic existence. Adi Da Samraj has revealed that the Cosmic Mandala can be visually perceived as a pattern of concentric circles (or fields) of distinct colors, with a brilliant white five-pointed Star at the center. (See also Avatar Adi Da’s description of the process that occurred in the Ruchira Dham Event, in section VI, “Divine Translation”.)

22. A term coined by Avatar Adi Da Samraj for the unknown (and unknowable) determining Factor, the Unaccountable Divine Mystery on Which conditional existence depends.

23. Avatar Adi Da was referring to the entire global human population at that time. Thirty years later, as of this publication in 2017, the global human population is estimated to be approximately 7.5 billion.

24. These three terms are Avatar Adi Da’s final verbal formulations describing the fundamental dimensions of the Reality-Way of Adidam. Those dimensions of Adidam were always aspects of Avatar Adi Da’s Teaching from the beginning, and specifically part of what He Called to be demonstrated in 1986.

25. This is a reference to practitioners in the Second Congregation of Adidam. Avatar Adi Da also offers the possibility of a simple but formal devotional relationship to Him for those who do not embrace all three of these dimensions of practice. See “Approaching Avatar Adi Da Samraj via One of the Four Congregations of Adidam Ruchiradam”.

26. The Lay Congregationist Order is comprised of Avatar Adi Da’s Second Congregation devotees, who are adapting to and demonstrating the foundation practice of Adidam. Lay Congregationists provide general service to the institutions and work of Adidam.

Relative to the Name of the Order, Avatar Adi Da writes:

“Melrose” refers to Melrose Avenue in Hollywood, California, which was the location of the building in which I originally, in 1972, Established the yet-foundationally-maturing general lay form of practice for My devotees. The placename “Melrose” means “cropped meadow”, or “well-tended and ‘disciplined’ field”.

27. The Forward Lay Congregationist Order is comprised of those general lay practitioners (in contrast to formal renunciate practitioners) who are practicing in the context of the First Congregation of Adidam Ruchiradam (see “Approaching Avatar Adi Da Samraj via One of the Four Congregations of Adidam Ruchiradam”).

Relative to the Name of the Order, Avatar Adi Da writes:

“Clear-Lake” refers to The Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary (which is located near the large body of water in Northern California known as “Clear Lake”), where I originally, in the years 1974–1977, Worked to Establish the fully foundationally-adapted general lay form of practice for My devotees. The placename “Clear-Lake” means “bright body of water”.

28. Avatar Adi Da describes more fully the meaning of these names:

“Muliwai” refers to the place on the island of Oahu, in Hawaii, where I originally, in 1978, Established the lay form of renunciate practice for My devotees. The placename “Muliwai” means “estuary”, or “confluence of river and ocean”.…

“Naitauba” refers to Adi Da Samrajashram, the reef-encircled
