Shree Simandhar Swami 21
these temples and other such structures when the real goal is to
attain the Soul?
Dadashri : The temples are very necessary. They should
be built. But there is no point in building a temple of those who
have departed. In the case of Simandhar Swami however, it is
a different matter. He is present and people can benefit by
worshiping the One who is present. He is the living Lord and
salvation is achieved by doing His darshan. People can only be
blessed if we build temples with his living idol. You need a
medium to reach people, which is why this inner message
received by me from Him is of critical importance. This will
bring results. Even those who have not taken Gnan will benefit
by doing darshan of Simandhar Swami. That is why we have
to build all this; otherwise I would not get involved in it and nor
would I involve all of you. I am telling you this because he is
the living tirthankar. There is no point in talking about the
tirthankaras of the past. We have enough 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.
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. 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!
Hindus should not remain in this condition. The Jains should
