of other temples. They too are needed because the worship of idols takes place there and it is worship of none other than the tirthankaras of the past. We are not negating their importance.
their presence wherever there is a gathering of Self-realized beings. In whichever temple, whenever you sing this arati, the Lord will have to be present there.
Exclusive Worship For Lord Simandhar
That Is My Wish
I want to reduce the level of conflicts due to differences of opinion in this world. Especially in religious matters. A person can only understand what I say when his prejudiced opinions leave. There is so much prejudice today that people have segregated their temples according to their religion and also have divided the mantras. They may keep their temples because of their beliefs. The mind however, will have to be at peace, which is why I have combined the mantras and put them together. I will perform such a powerful pratishtha that these differences will slowly be forgotten. This is my wish; I do not have any other wish!
For moksha, first you will need enough merit karma to enable you to go to Mahavideh kshetra. Everything that you do here for Simandhar Swami will be taken into account. You should go ahead and do any charitable work or give contributions that you have decided to do for Lord Simandhar. That is more than enough. Beyond that you need not do anything more. The deep inner intent is the key. What you do for Simandhar Swami will bind the highest merit karma. This is because it is meant for liberation of all mankind.
Hindus should not remain in this condition. The Jains should not continue to have this state of mind of separation. The temple of Simandhar Swami is not simply a temple of an idol; it is a temple of the formless One as well.
Arati of Simandhar Swami These mahatmas of Dada do the arati (ritual of devotional singing using tiny oil filled lamps, or using burning incense sticks which are waved in front of the idol being worshipped) of this Divine Lord Simandhar Swami currently present in this universe, through the medium of Dada Bhagwan. I also do His arati. I send this arati to Him, our Lord who has been living for the last one hundred and fifty thousand years.
During His arati all the Devas, celestial beings are present. The arati of the Gnani Purush reaches all the way to Simandhar Swami. The celestial gods and goddesses say that they will grace
As far as charitable work is concerned, if you build hospitals for the poor or any other such deeds, it will earn you merit karma but it will keep you in the worldly life.
You have to destroy the losses you have incurred from infinite past lives in just one lifetime. To do this you have to follow me relentlessly, but you do not have the capacity to do so. I make this connection with Him for you, because ultimately we all have to go there and do His darshan. Direct moksha is not possible from here. You still have one more life. This Lord will liberate this whole world. There Is No Suffering For Those Who Say His Name
Questioner: Dada, are you building Simandhar Swami's temple so that people may progress spiritually?
Dadashri: Changes will begin within a person as soon as he or she takes the name of Simandhar Swami.
Questioner: Is it not true that liberation is not attainable
