An enormous and unique temple has been constructed, which will become a key instrument for people’s salvation. This complex stands in Adalaj, on the highway between Ahemdabad and Mehsana, approximately 18 kilometers from Ahemdabad and 8 km from Gandhinagar. This complex will host a variety of activities.
The center of this temple is graced by the omnipresence of Lord Shree Simandhar Swami. His magnificent deity weighing 18 tons and standing thirteen feet tall, is flanked on both sides by deities of his protector Chandrayan Yaksh Dev and Panchanguli Yakshini Devi. Present also are deities of Shree Rushabdev Bhagwan, Shree Ajitnath Bhagwan, Shree Parshavanath Bhagwan, Shree Mahavir Bhagwan, Mother Goddesses Padmati Devi and Chakreshwaree Devi.
The first temple is graced with a Shivaling in the center, flanked by deities of Goddess Parvati, Lord Hanuman, Lord Ganapati, Nandi the bull etc. And the third temple is graced with three exquisite deities of Shree Nathji on the left, Yogeshwar Krshna in the center and Tirupati Balaji on the right. These are flanked on both sides with deities of Mother Goddess Ambamataji and Bhadrakalimataji.
Celebration to honor this majestic temple began on December 25th 2002. A grand procession of brightly decorated floats depicting the theme of Trimandir along with thousands of visitors and participants crowded the streets of Ahemdabad at dawn on December 28 2002. The grand ceremony of Pranpratishta of the temple took place on December 29 2002 and was attended by a record number of people: in excess of seventeen thousand in one day!
A thirty thousand square feet assembly hall has been constructed underneath the temple to accommodate spiritual retreats for all aspirants of liberation. The interior of the hall is designed and treated to facilitate the best possible acoustics. Fully computerized state of the art audio-video equipment is use during the shibirs. Up to six thousand at a time can reap the benefit of a hall and equipment of this caliber. This will be one of many such halls that are already present in the state of Gujarat, accompanied with housing and dinning facilities. From this complex free distribution of buttermilk has been carried out also. This complex also houses a school, medical and dental facility and retirement homes.
Residential Facility for the Spiritual Aspirants
Residential homes have been built for those who have acquired the spiritual knowledge of Dada Bhagwan. This environment is to help them conquer the summit of the highest of spiritual awareness and help facilitate their spiritual progress. In return these enlightened beings will be able to devote their entire time towards the salvation of this world.
Health Center
Amba Health Clinic has been established to primarily carry out medical examinations, diagnosis and pathological testing at reasonable cost for people at large. In order to support and extend the above-mentioned services, a hospital facility is under construction.
Relief work during Earthquake ………
In the wake of the earthquake of 2001, this institution was instrumental in delivering help and relief to the victims. Delivery and distribution of food packets along with tents, blankets, and clothing and necessary furniture items was carried out in a timely fashion. This institution adopted three villages in the proximity of the town of Morbi and these villages were rebuilt from scratch. Two schools near Morbi, which suffered damage during the earthquake, are being re-built also. In the hope that the children of the village hit by the earthquake receive the utmost care and up bring of good moral values, a school has been established on the premises at Adalaj. This school, through the institution, currently provides complete shelter to forty children and will continue to do so until they become self reliant.
Gnan elucidating Books
The spoken words of Dada Bhagwan have been recorded on audiocassettes. These recordings are conversations in the format of question-answer between the aspirant and Dadashree. Dr. Niruben Amin, who was a pupil of Dadashree compiles his spoken words which are revealed in many new books. Spiritual books such as Aptavani, The Science of Karma, Who Am I?, discuss and focus on the Soul whereas books such as Money in Worldly Interactions, Relationship between children and parents,relationship between husband and wife, deal with day to day worldly interactions. The language in this book is beautiful but simple and brings complete clarity to any topic at hand. A publication called ‘Dadavani’, which is topic-specific, is also printed and distributed every month.
Books published through this institution have proven invaluable for the social and moral up bringing and coaching of many children and as a result, this institution has procured a grant form the State of Gujarat for its activities. Reading of these books in schools and colleges have proved to be very beneficial.
Good Intention, nurturing morals and spreading the Knowledge of The Soul
The spiritual retreats held by the institution have brought to light many topics related to spirituality. Especially questions such as what is my real nature? Who runs this world? Where is God and what does he do? What is karma? What is liberation? Etc. Questions that have plagued people since time immemorial find answers with absolute conviction.
Through undergoing the experience of the two-hour experiment of Dadashree’s Knowledge of the Self, one finds complete satisfaction to all one’s answers and once one acquires true satisfaction, tremendous fundamental changes take place. After Self-Realization, a person begins to see his own faults and a vision whereby he is able to destroy his attachment and abhorrence, anger, pride, and greed. Consequently he lives his life free from worries and tension even though living in the current time cycle of suffering. This is the intriguing experience of thousands who have acquired Gnan.
The prevailing discord in the relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, husband and wife, parents and children etc., come to an end. The relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law becomes like that of a mother-daughter. Parents and children begin to foster a relationship of true love. Family conflicts and discord vanishes.
Live discussions on topics such as: How can the generation gap between children and parents be bridged? What are the effects of television and videos on the young fragile minds of children? How are children affected by speech and behavior of their parents? As a result sexual and violent tendencies in countless children are destroyed and thus making the venture successful.
Learning about the harmful effects of various addictions, many who attend the shibirs, through the act of openly confessing their weakness and addiction and by taking a vow to keep away from such evils, become free of their addictions forever.
