The NPOV tag will highlight the recent discussions here and the stark difference in view between Adi Da s advocates and others fine with me Regarding the usual claims by advocate 202 63 42 221 sourcing must be the basis for the article The claim that or to his devotees is POV fails to consider the source itself The Adidam source clearly states that Adi Da is the principal Name of Avatar Adi Da Samraj that devotees recognize him as the Primordial Being the Source of all the Original Divine Person Daand He is the Avatar the bodily Revelation of that One that Samraj is a Title for Avatar Adi Da which He was offered by His devotees in 1996 Samraj means the Universal Ruler or Supreme Lord To address Adi Da as Ruchira Sanskrit for radiant is acknowledge Him as the Radiant Shining Bright One when Avatar Adi Da s devotees use it in reference to Him they intend it in the sense of The One Who Is Self Radiant Inherently or Perfectly Subjectively Bright Self Enlightened and Eternally Awake And He took the Name of Adi Da Samraj And more fully in 1997 Adi Da Love Ananda Samraj This Nameoffered to Him by His devoteesdescribes His present Revelation He is Adi the Source Person the First and Only Person The Divine Person of Love Bliss He is Da Love Ananda the Giver of Love Bliss to all And He is Samraj the Divine King the Master of Reality serving all by the Transmission of His Heart Awakening Grace andin their right relationship to Him Dseer note an Adidam euphemism for devotion being served by all so that all may fully receive that Transmission and Realize the Divine Not only does this source clearly state the Adidam position that to address Adi Da as Ruchira Sanskrit for radiant is acknowledge Him as the Radiant Shining Bright One which those outside the group or not in sympathy with it non devotees would not acknowledge but a google search for Ruchira Avatar Adi Da Samraj confirms that what comes up in any signficant order excluding this article itself for that title is either Adidam sites and material or that of devotees There is no thus evidence to support your claim that non devotees would routinely refer to him by anything other than Adi Da his primary name per the source his name during the controversial period Da Free John or his given name of Franklin Jones today rather than the Ruichira Avatar Adi Da Samraj meaning the radiant avatar primordial giver universal ruler or as Beloved either which as per the source devotees would use Thus or to his devotees as and defining what the titles and names mean to devotees is perfectly appropriate and informative The addition of all the names in the intro instead of just a few improves the article because Adi Da has been known by so many names that it is important for the casual reader to know up front all these are the same person The introduction isn t excessively long it is only six sentences One describes what him one lists his many names one sumarizes his dogma one describes the highly publicized allegations one lists the Adidam response and one specifies these charges were settled out of court Concise simple NPOV and based on sound sourcing and appropriate
