From Glen Whittaker:

 
Adi is the first publication for a long time that presents just Maharaji's words - his own inspiring presentations, judiciously edited for an enjoyable reading experience. The design also is different from the usual 'buy me' appearance of most magazines, an understated 'retro' look, made with recylced paper, and illustrated mainly by photographs of people listening to him speak.

Maharaji  gave the magazine its title, a Hindi word meaning Timeless or Ancient.

The editor, Danish journalist Ole Grunbaum, has expressed the ethos of the magazine, in that it is complementary to the videos of Maharaji speaking. He says, "Adi gives the reader a chance to take in the richness of Maharaji’s message at his or her own leisure. When he speaks, he says a lot in a short time, and Adi allows for reflection and contemplation on his words and his message."

I relate to this. At an event or listening to a dvd we enjoy every moment but each wonderful insight by Maharaji is followed immediately by another...and another...and another! It is a different experience to read, and ponder and savor the real beauty and depth of the observations he makes.

The prospect is that Adi, beside being widely read by those who follow Maharaji's teaching, can become a useful aid in introducing people to his message, for people going through The Keys, as a gift for people who might be interested, for areas of the world where it is not easy to see dvd's, and so on. It is suitable to appear on bookstore counters and library shelves as an enjoyable first taste of a simple yet unique message.

Adi is intended to be a quarterly publication. Stay tuned to the wordsofpeace.com site for future issues.
