Seeing Primates; Visiting Chimpanzees |

Composer-musician Naamleela Free Jones (of Fiji / California) tells of visiting the Sacramento Zoo with Fear-No-More Zoo Founder Adi Da Samraj recently:
Several weeks ago Avatar Adi Da Samraj visited the Sacramento Zoo, as He has done a number of times over the years.
Upon entering the zoo Adi Da was asked by one of His attendants whether He would like to see the primates first. He chuckled, looking around at everybody, and replied, "I thought I already was!"
As Adi Da Samraj made His way through the zoo many of the animals (though not all) moved forward in their enclosures. Frequently, as He approached the various habitats, the animals living there would come out in full view, and a good number reclined right in front of Him, relaxing and showing obvious signs of deep contemplation in response to Adi Da's visit.
[Pictured at right is an orangutan that Adi Da visited at the Sacramento Zoo.]
Upon arriving at the spacious chimpanzee habitat Adi Da made His way to the large, glass viewing window. He stood there calmly, intently focused on the chimpanzee culture living life in front of the crowds of people who streamed past the chimps' attractively manufactured world.
Soon after Adi Da took His place there, a small chimpanzee came forward and began tumbling about directly in front of Him. Within a short while she picked up a pine-cone and, stretching out as far as possible, she pressed the pine-cone up against the glass window toward Adi Da.
Everything about this fellow primate's gestures were just like those of Adi Da's human devotees when, through heart-recognition, they offer Him a simple, fresh flower. The chimpanzee held the pine-cone there on the glass, looking directly at Adi Da. Through the glass Avatar Adi Da Samraj touched His hand to the pine-cone and whispered, "Tcha", in love and blessing of the young chimpanzee.
After several moments the chimpanzee drew the pine-cone to her chest and sat with her head slightly bowed. Then she sat quietly in front of Adi Da for a few more moments before moving across the enclosure whereupon she gave the pine-cone to the largest chimpanzee of the group.
------------------------------------------------
Late one evening in November 1993 Adi Da Samraj discoursed passionately to a small group of devotees. He spoke in a quiet voice.
"At heart, all are One. At heart, a human being is not the slightest bit different from the reptiles, the birds, the former dinosaurs, the elephants, the plants, the trees, the wind, the sky, the microbes."
