Sailor Bob passed away peacefully at his home on 6th of February 2025.
Bob’s wish was that Sunday gatherings will be resumed. Everyone is welcome to come around 10.15am from now on every Sunday.
In 1975 Bob went to India to live in the Ashram. In 1976/77 he spent 12 months with Nisargadatta Maharaj in Bombay. Since this time thousands of seekers from all over the world have come to his home in Melbourne, Australia for individual sessions and to join regular weekly group meetings.
Bob also connects individually via Skype and holds zoom groups 3 times a week.
By following Bob’s pointers seekers either settle for less suffering or earnestly continue the search untill all questions are extinguished and questioner ‘dissolves’ into nothing.
Through Bob’s devotion and enthusiasm many have woken from the nightmare of belief in being separate entities.
Having awoken some write books, provide their own pointers to the truth or some just quietly serve ‘themselves in others’ wherever Life places them.
The potential to recognize this simplicity of presence awareness is here now, it lays right in front of us, under the veil of ever changing, passing thoughts. These thoughts are simply another way the One Essence appears and expresses itself.
Pointers and Quotes
“Learn to live without self-concern. For this you must know your own true being as indomitable, fearless and ever-victorious. Once you know with absolute certainty that nothing can trouble you but your own imagination, you come to disregard your desires and fears, concepts and ideas, and live by truth alone.”
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Questions for contemplation
- Did you come to learn or get something here? Something new? Something you don’t have or are not yet? It can be very subtle!
- If it is sat-chit-ananda as Hinduism calls it – existence (being), consciousness (knowing), bliss (loving to know being or stillness) than…
The Spiel
It’s nothing new we talk about here. It is the base of all the great traditions if you look into them closely and see it there. It’s obscured by all the concepts that people put onto them that differentiate them from the totality, what they call in Hinduism non-duality…
Such beautiful quality and incredible clarity!
“The idea of enlightenment or self-realisation as a onetime event or a lasting and permanent state or experience is an erroneous concept. Understand-ING or know-ING is alive in the immediacy which can never be negated. The emphasis is on the activity of know-ING which is going on as the immediacy now – not the dead concept I understand or I know.”
– Salior Bob Adamson
Testimonials
Some of the participants of Bob’s group meetings are free from psychological suffering, “beyond the need for further help” – as Nisargadatta would have put it, their search has ended. They come out of love and gratitude for Bob as well as to help those who think, they are not That yet. Here is what they have to say about Bob:
