Of these 20 Teerthankars, Shri Simandhar Swami has a special relationship with Bharat Kshetra. Hence, He should be worshipped as ‘Arihant’. He should be kept before the inner eye while reciting Navkar Mantra. It will then be more effective and fruitful. There are 15 worlds or existential planes similar to Bharat Kshetra - 5 Bharat Kshetra, 5 Airavat Kshetra and 5 Maha Videh Kshetra.

(22) (24) Shri Simandhar Swami - Maha Videh is in the North-East of Bharat. Sri Simandhar Swami resides in one such a world The Present Teerthankar in Maha Videh. His life span is 1,750 thousand years. He is going to live for another 1,250 thousand years. His body measurement is of 500 ‘dhanush’ (a special unit, nearly 2 meters), and is moving about as an Arihant of Absolute Knowledge. There will be no more Teerthankars in Bharat Kshetra after the demise to Mahaveer Swami for 80,000 years. But, there are Teerthankars in Maha Videh, where Dwaper Yug (Fourth Time-rotation) is prevailing. There are 19 other Teerthankars in Maha Videh, but Shri Simandhar Swami has a special relationship with Bharat Kshetra. Hence, He is the benefactor and he should be worshipped. Teerthankars : Literal meaning of ‘Teerthankar’ is that wherever they set their foot, it becomes a “Simandhar Swami, O Simandhar Swami ! ‘Teerth’ - a place of pilgrimage. Such is their May Your Spiritual Sovereignity piety and purity. Those who have ardently Flourish For Eternity.” cherished the welfare of the world; a burning (25) (27) desire to make it happy, an earnest longing to Dadaji stated that he had not seen Shri impart the Absolute Knowledge which they Simandhar Swami in person but had a glimpse have acquired and bliss (‘anand’), which they of His divine presence, in his vision. have experienced, during the previous two births, People cannot go to Maha Videh Planet but are destined to be born as Teerthankars in the by acquiring good qualities, they can reach next birth.

They are walking accordingly, unlike here. Their physique, Parmatmas on earth. longevity etc. are also different. To a query as to what is the difference If there is unison in thinking, speaking and between worship of Mahaveer Swami and Swami actions, if there is no ill-feeling even for those Simandhar, Dada Shri explained that those who who do not behave properly, do not react to have attained Moksha-Siddhagati (e.g. Mahaveer abusive language; and deal with matters Swami) have nothing to do with the world. They equitably and magnanimously; when you have cannot help you to attain Moksha.

If you temple is invested, sanctified and ‘Vitalized’ repeat this worship 40 times, it gives you the with full religious rites. Further, there is greater fruit of prostrating before him 108 times. protection of the ruling deities in temples. Thus, Since Simandhar Swami is present in for purpose of worship, atmosphere in a temple person and has special relationship with Bharat is superior and more conducive than that at Kshetra, a Derasar dedicated to Him is to be home.

So we must become alert for the remaining eighteen thousand years and free ourselves from the viewpoints. Then only will be open to us the non-partial approach, as shown by Rishabhdev Bhagwan ! People may have separate temples, according to their faith or viewpoint but all the mantras must be recited, without leaving out any. There should be no hostility or animosity. If all the mantras are recited together, they yield the fruit. If we don’t nurse a feeling of ‘separateness’ (37) (39) in our mind, we won’t find anything separate. ‘Shalaka Purush’.
