# The Adi Da Foundation

> The Adi Da Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to making the Reality-Communication and World-Blessing of Avatar Adi Da Samraj (1939–2008) known and available to all. It operates four elements — the Adi Da Institute, Da Peace, Da Plastique, and Da Orpheum — covering his philosophy, peace teachings, visual art, and literary/theatrical work.

Avatar Adi Da Samraj devoted his life to communicating what he called the indivisible Reality and "prior unity" of existence. The Foundation makes his writings, artwork, and teachings available through publications, exhibitions, theatrical enactments, and affiliated websites, and promotes his vision for a transformed human culture based on the working-presumption of prior unity.
