About Rods and Cones Design
Rods and Cones Design is a devotional platform dedicated to the unique and transformative Image-Art of Adi Da Samraj. Unlike conventional art forms that attempt to express meaning or represent the world, the artworks featured here are not meant to symbolize or illustrate anything. Rather, Adi Da’s creations are “Transcendental-Realist” images—visual portals intended to go beyond the viewer’s ordinary mind and perception. These images transcend the dichotomy of subject and object, thought and interpretation, offering instead a direct visual encounter that draws one into a space of depth and presence.
The Sacred Purpose of This Site
This website exists as a sacred offering—a means for individuals to come into direct visual communion with the Image-Art of Adi Da Samraj. It is not merely an art gallery; it is a space of revelation. The intent is to allow visitors to engage with these powerful images as a spiritual practice. Through curated exhibitions and thoughtfully presented works, Rods and Cones Design invites viewers to step out of ordinary perception and into a contemplative encounter with non-verbal transcendence. It is a site meant for deep looking, devotional attention, and spiritual engagement.
Why This Art Matters
Adi Da Samraj referred to his artistic process as “Reality Itself Made Visible.” He saw the act of image creation as an extension of his spiritual transmission. The artworks here are not personal expressions, but gifts given from the depth of realization. They are composed with rigorous discipline and a radical aesthetic approach, often involving large-scale photo-based compositions with vivid color, geometric resonance, and layers of intentional form. These images are not “understood”—they are felt. They do not ask to be interpreted, but to be entered.
A Portal to True Seeing
In a world oversaturated with visual noise, Rods and Cones Design offers a rare kind of looking—one that demands patience, presence, and humility. Adi Da’s Image-Art stands as a call to awaken beyond the surface of life, to see with new eyes, and to receive what cannot be said in words. Each image is a gateway. Each viewing is a sacred act.
