Questioner: Can one do darshan of Simandhar Swami from here?
Dadashri: All mahatmas who have taken Gnan can do so, you (the rest of the public) cannot. You need a medium for that, don't you? You can do so through the medium of Dada Bhagwan or by building Simandhar Swami's derasars . You can do darshan directly if you build derasars .
There are many other places where idols of Simandhar Swami have been placed but they should be like the idol placed in the temple at Mehsana, so that everyone in the world can benefit.
Questioner: How will it benefit everyone?
Dadashri: It means people will worship Simandhar Swami, who is the current living Tirthankar in the form of an idol. Imagine that we were living when Lord Mahavir was living. Lord Mahavir cannot come here to us, and we cannot not go to him but if we worship him and pray to him here, do we not receive the same benefit? Is there a benefit or not?
Questioner: There is.
Dadashri: What is a vartaman Tirthankar (currently present Tirthankar )? The parmanus (the subatomic particles) of the living vartaman Tirthankar are moving around you. You can benefit tremendously from the vartaman Tirthankar !
