Simandhar-swami

since he has already established a connection with the Lord Shri
Simandhar Swami, through His worship, he is undoubtedly pulled
very close to the Lord. Such are the laws of nature.
Dadashri always used to say that when Simandhar Swami’s
images take residence in every home, and when these images are
worshipped with deep reverence, when his artis are sung in every
home, when his temples are constructed all over, there will be
heaven on Earth.
Just the slightest discussion about the Lord awakens worship
for Him in people’s hearts. You should pay obeisance day and
night to the Lord with Dada Bhagwan as your witness. Everyday
you should do Simandhar Swami’s arati and pay obeisance to
him forty times.
Gnani Purush Dadashri in his infinite grace has made a
link for all spiritual aspirants with the Lord through the following
obeisance:
“With Dada Bhagwan as my direct witness, I hereby give
my highest obeisance to the Tirthankar Lord Shri Simandhar Swami,
who currently moves about in Mahavideh Kshetra.”
The words above are not the actual connection, but while
reciting these words, the aspirant experiences the live obeisance
to the Lord. That is the connection.
The specific words, “With Dada Bhagwan as my direct
witness…,” are used because in this manner one establishes a
direct connection with the Lord Shri Simandhar Swami, via the
name of Dada Bhagwan, who has a direct and constant contact
with the Lord. He becomes the medium through whom our
obeisance reaches the Lord. The benefit you derive through this
obeisance is the same as standing in front of the Lord and doing
obeisance to Him. For example, if we want to send a message to
America from here, we hand over the responsibility to the post
