Simandhar Swami has been around even before the time the eighteenth Tirthankar was present on this earth. All the Tirthankars had encouraged this and in the form of that encouragement, their blessings continue. So here everything works as if it is the Lord's own mission. Actually there are twenty Tirthankars but this one (Simandhar Swami) is more accepted by all. This must be due to His roonanubandh (karmic connections from the past). The karmic debts from the past eventually get paid off. The Vitraags do not have karmic accounts. The past accounts are now being released at the same time the eight dravya karmas are being released. All the Tirthankars have accepted Him. You reap rewards if you accept him.

Questioner: Is He currently moving around?

Dadashri: Yes, He does move around. He is going to be here for a very long time. If you make connection with him, your work (for salvation) will be accomplished.

Questioner: We experience the presence of Simandhar Swami.

Dadashri: You will. He is present. He is a complete vitraag in his inner intent. He is a Tirthankar . But He is mainly undergoing this karma due to His namkarm (physique determining karma; karma that determines body type) of Tirthankar . Simandhar Swami is considered 'cash' meaning that He gives instant rewards. He may be in another galaxy but He is present.
