Simandhar Swami is a tirthankara Lord. Just like Lord Rushabdev and Lord Mahavir who were here. But He is currently present, directly accessible, has a physical body and at present lives and moves about as a tirthankara at Mahavideh kshetra.

Lord Mahavir would not listen to your prayers. As he is now a siddha, totally liberated and without a body. However, it is entirely a different matter when you invoke the current living Tirthankara. The one who is currently present has the supreme value. It is like money in the form of cash; cash is more useful. “This is the cash bank of Divine Solution!”. Liberation is only attained through the ones who are living and present.

Why do you have Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva and Simandhar Swami in same temple ?

To avoid the differences between major three religions of Hindustan, Dadahsri combined and made an unique ‘Tri Mandir’ which would have impartial view towards all religion. Basically, at elemental level Shree Simandhar Swami, Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva have no difference at all. They are all in the form of manifested Supreme Beings. Only in worldly view, people have separated them saying “We are right and they are wrong”. By praying to all three, one develops impartial view towards all religion.

When one worships Mahadev, it indirectly reaches to the Soul within you. This is called indirect worship (paroksha bhakti). The same applies to when one worships other God and Goddess. Without idols people would forget the real God as well as the deity that it represents. They can only do darshan if they see the image. Seeing the idol will jog their memory. That is why idol have been placed everywhere. Ultimately it is all done for the purpose of recognizing the One that resides within.

People quarrel about what is ‘mine’ and ‘yours’ in religion. To keep such quarrels at bay, there is the Trimantra. The obesisance in the Trimantra is offered to all beings of supreme awareness – starting from those who have attained Self Realization to those who have attained absolute Knowledge and also those who have attained final liberation, moksha.
By obeisance in Trimantra, one’s life’s obstacles are removed; one finds peace amidst difficulties and begins to build a goal towards moksha

Why people have discriminated different religions?

People have discriminated among religions because they lack the real understanding of who is God. They lack the real vision to understand who is God. However, nobody can be blamed for this. God is not what you see. He is within every living being, which we called as “Soul”. All Lords such as Krishna, Mahavir and Shiv said that: “You and me are same because we are pure souls. Nothing except this is real. If this is understood, no I and My remains!” If this vision is understood, there cannot be any discrimination as not only humans; every living being is a child of God.

Why have you attached “Om namo bhagwate vasudevay” and “Om namash shivay” after Navkar Mantra?

These three mantras have been in existence from time immemorial but through quarrels people have divided them. The Jains kept the Navkar mantra and discarded the rest. The Vaishnavs kept whatever is theirs and got rid of the Navkar mantra. That’s how the mantras were divided. In their prejudices that divides people have not left anything untouched. That is why India is in such a state of shambles today! Ignorant people who wanted to prove their point created these divisions. The Gnani on the other hand, would reunite everything and make everyone unbiased. That is why we have written the three mantras together. So when all the mantras are recited together, you will be blessed. The path of liberation through the recitation of the Trimantra is for the one who is beyond any sectarian insistence of his own mantra. It is for the one who sublimates his ego, insistence and opinions and accepts the Trimantra.
