Purush Dadashri Establishes A Direct Connection With
The Current Living TirthankarafFor
Thousands of Generations With Unprecedented Clarity
& Compassion
Questioner:
Who Simandhar Swami is? Would you please grace us by
giving this understanding?
Dadashri:
Simandhar Swami is a tirthankara Lord. Just
like Lord Rushabdev and Lord Mahavir who were here.
Lord Simandhar is like them. He is currently in another
location called Mahavideh Kshetra.
There are three types of tirthankaras: tirthankaras
of the past, tirthankaras of the present and tirthankaras
of the future. The Tirthankaras of the past are gone.
Worship of these tirthankaras binds merit karma. In
addition to this, adherence to the instructions of the
one whose reign prevails will give rise to worldly religion,
dharma. This is beneficial in guiding one towards moksha.
Questioner:
Are there not twenty tirthankaras moving about at the
present time?
Dadashri:
Yes. Only if you understand that the twenty
who are currently present are the arihants, then your
recital of the Navkar Mantra will bring results. That
is why it is necessary to bow down to Simandhar Swami.
There are many people who do not know about the existence
of these twenty tirthankaras. Many have the opinion:
‘What do we have to do with them?’ and believe
that the twenty-four tirthankaras of the past are the
only arihants. Because of such mistakes there is so
much confusion and harm in the spiritual world. One
can only benefit if a tirthankara is present today.
Questioner:
Is Simandhar Swami in manifest form, live and visible
to all?
Dadashri:
Yes. He is currently present, directly accessible, has
a physical body and at present lives and moves about
as a tirthankara at Mahavideh Kshetra.
Questioner:
If
Simandhar Swami is in Mahavideh Kshetra, then how can
be considered to be live and present for us?
Dadashri:
If Simandhar Swami were to be in Calcutta, even then
He would be live and present, although you may not have
seen him. This is the same for Mahavideh Kshetra.
Difference Between Direct and Indirect Worship
Questioner:
Is there a difference in benefits between worshipping
Simandhar Swami and Lord Mahavir?
Dadashri:
Lord Mahavir would not listen to your prayers. Nevertheless
it is good to pray to Lord Mahavir if one does not pray
to Simandhar Swami. But who would listen to any prayers
for Lord Mahavir? He has nothing to do with us anymore.
He is now a siddha, totally liberated and without a
body. It is we who continue to make images of Him and
insist on keeping these images. He cannot be called
a tirthankara now, just as you cannot call a past president
a president. He can only be called a siddha. It is only
Simandhar Swami who will benefit you.
Questioner:
So
we only get rewards for saying "Namo Arihantanam"
only, and not from saying "Namo Siddhanam?"
Dadashri:
No other rewards. It is up to you to decide
your destination. For example if you are traveling to
London, then London remains in your awareness as your
final destination, you do not have to be reminded of
it. Similarly going towards moksha and the siddha state,
final liberation will remain in your awareness. It is
the arihant that is the most beneficial to you of all
for your liberation. So now focus everything exclusively
towards Simandhar Swami. As such there are nineteen
other tirthankaras but Simandhar Swami is very important
to this world and especially for India and so we should
dedicate our life to Him.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv***vVision
To See God **
Questioner:
What is the routine activity of Simandhar Swami in Mahavideh
Kshetra?
Dadashri:
What activity? He is the Lord. People do His darshan
(to look upon or see with reverence, to experience what
He is experiencing spiritually) there. When He speaks,
His speech is without any attachment and therefore liberates
the listener. This speech is called deshna.
Questioner:
What else does Simandhar Swami do in Mahavideh Kshetra?
Dadashri: He
does not have to ‘do’ anything. His actions
depend upon the unfolding of his karmas. All ego is
completely gone and He remains in Gnan (absolute awareness)
all day long, as did Lord Mahavir. He has a lot of followers
and devotees around him.
Moksha Through Mere Darshan
Questioner:
Is He the all-knowing God?
Dadashri:
He can see us. He can see the whole world, but we cannot
see Him.
Simandhar Swami is at another location in the universe.
All this is beyond one’s intellect, and incomprehensible.
This fact is exact and clear in my Gnan, my absolute
vision and knowledge. Mere darshan of The Lord will
bring forth salvation for many many people of this world.
Questioner:
What does His body look like? Is it like ours?
Dadashri:
It is just like ours, like that of a human being.
Questioner:
Where is Mahavideh kshetra where Simandhar Swami lives?
Dadashri:
It is completely separate from this galaxy. It is in
the northeast direction. All the kshetras are separate.
It is not possible to go there.
Questioner:
Is Mahavideh kshetra considered separate from our Bharat
Kshetra?
Dadashri:
Yes, completely separate. Tirthankaras continue to be
born in Mahavideh Kshetra, whereas here in our Bharat
kshetra, tirthankaras are born only during a certain
time of the time cycle. During certain time periods
there are no tirthankaras here. But
Questioner:
Under what conditions can one go there, if one wants
to?
Dadashri:
One become like the ones who live there. If he acquires
the qualities of the people in the fourth time cycle,
if he loses the negative characteristics, which prevail
during the fifth time cycle, he can go there. For example,
if someone were to insult you and you have no bad feelings
or thoughts towards that person whatsoever, then you
will go there.
Questioner:
You are our guardian and protector, but who is above
you? You have to conduct yourself according to the rules,
with whomever you interact, right?
Dadashri:
Very much so, and within the rules. And this Simandhar
Swami is my boss; He is the only one! I do not ask anything
from Him. I cannot ask. But you can ask and take anything
from me.

ccccccccccc**vWhere
Is Mahavideh Kshetra? What Is It like? **
Questioner:
Where is Mahavideh kshetra where Simandhar Swami lives?
Dadashri:It
is completely separate from this galaxy. It is in the
northeast direction. All the kshetras are separate.
It is not possible to go there.
Questioner:
Is Mahavideh kshetra considered separate from our Bharat
Kshetra?
Dadashri:
Yes, completely separate. Tirthankaras continue to be
born in Mahavideh Kshetra, whereas here in our Bharat
kshetra, tirthankaras are born only during a certain
time of the time cycle. During certain time periods
there are no tirthankaras here. But at the moment Simandhar
Swami is present for us. He is going to live for a very
long time.
cvvvvvvvvv**vUnity
in the Mind-Body-Speech Exists Over There **
People
in Mahavideh Kshetra are just like the humans on Earth,
with similar physical bodies and emotions.
Questioner:
Dada, isn't the life span long there?
Dadashri:
Yes, they have a very long life span; otherwise they
are just like us. Their day-to-day conduct is just like
ours used to be during the fourth time cycle. People
of this fifth time cycle have learnt to steal from others
and gossip amongst their relatives. Such interactions
are not to be found there.
Questioner:
Is life interaction there similar to ours here?
Dadashri:
Yes, people bind karmas there too. They also have the
awareness of, ‘I am the ‘doer’. They
also have ego, anger, pride, attachment and greed. There
is a presence of tirthankaras there right now because
of the fourth time cycle, otherwise everything there
is just like it is here. The
only difference between the fourth and fifth time cycles
is that in the former, there is unity of the mind, speech
and body, whereas in the fifth time cycle, this unity
is broken.
ssssssssssccccccs**vFrom
Which World Can One Go There? **
Questioner:
Under what conditions can one go there, if one wants
to?
Dadashri:One
become like the ones who live there. If he acquires
the qualities of the people in the fourth time cycle,
if he loses the negative characteristics, which prevail
during the fifth time cycle, he can go there. For example,
if someone were to insult you and you have no bad feelings
or thoughts towards that person whatsoever, then you
will go there.
Questioner:
Ordinarily one cannot attain moksha, final liberation,
directly from here. One has to go to Mahavideh kshetra
and then attain moksha from there. Why so?
Dadashri:
That is just the way these worlds are. If a person’s
characteristics and traits become suitable for the fourth
time cycle, and even though he may not have received
Self-realization, he will be pulled there. Likewise
if the people over there become like those of the fifth
time cycle, they will be pulled here. Such is the nature
of these worlds.
cccccccs**vDada
Bhgawan Connects You To Lord Simandhar **
You
need a medium through which you can make a connection
with Simandhar Swami. That medium is ‘Dada Bhagwan’.
Say for example, if Lord Mahavir were in Delhi at this
time, He could easily be reached. Similarly Simahdhar
Swami can also be reached although here it may take
thirty seconds longer.
He
is present now but he is not in our world, He is in
another world. I have a connection with Him and the
whole world should benefit from this. I am just a mere
go-between (nimit-instrument). I make you do His darshan
through ‘Dada Bhagwan’, and it reaches Him.
That is why you still have one more birth so that you
can go to Simandhar Swami.
I
have such good relationship with Simandhar Swami that
if you do His darshan as I instruct you, it will reach
Him all the way.
