Where Is Mahavideh Kshetra? What Is It like?

Questioner: Where is Mahavideh kshetra where Simandhar Swami currently resides?

Dadashri:  It is completely separate from this galaxy.  It is in the northeast direction. All the kshetras are separate. It is not possible to go there.

Questioner:  Is Mahavideh kshetra considered separate from our Bharat Kshetra?

Dadashri: Yes, completely separate. Tirthankaras continue to be born in Mahavideh Kshetra, whereas here, in our Bharat kshetra, tirthankaras are born only during a certain period of the time cycle. During certain time periods, there are no tirthankaras here. But at the moment, Simandhar Swami is present for us. He is going to live for a very long time.

The Geography Of Mahavideh Kshetra

Questioner:Can you give us more details about Mahavideh Kshetra?  Is it true what is written in our scriptures about Mount Meru being so many jojans (a measurement of distance equal to eight miles) high?

Dadashri: It is true. It is exact. It is all measured and calculated, even the life span. Yes, everything is according to calculations.

In the universe there is this middle world of ours. There are a total of fifteen such worlds.   The middle world is round.  People are not able to understand anything more about this. The atmosphere between the different worlds is such that it is not possible for one to go from one world to another. There are fifteen worlds where human beings can take birth and live. Ours is one of them. Besides the Earth, there are fourteen other locations where there are human beings just like us.  Presently on the Earth it is the time cycle of Kaliyug, whereas Satyug is prevalent in other worlds. In Kaliyug there is no unity in thoughts, speech and acts. In Satyug there is unity in thoughts, speech and acts.

Simandhar Swami is now one hundred and fifty thousand years old and will live for another one hundred and twenty-five thousand years. . He was born long before Lord Rama.  Lord Ram was a Gnani and although he was born here on the Earth, He was able to see Simandhar Swami. Simandhar Swami is responsible for the salvation of the world.

Lord Simamdhar :The Savior Of The World

Questioner: Are there any tirthankaras living in other locations besides Mahavideh kshetra ?

Dadashri: There are fifteen worlds: five Bharat, five Airavat, and five Mahavideh. At the present time there are no tirthankaras in any of the five Bharat worlds or the five Airavat worlds. The other five Mahavideh Kshetras, however, have the time cycle of the fourth segment called Satyug. Tirthankaras are present there. The fourth segment of the time cycle constantly prevails in Mahavideh Kshetra. Here for us, the time cycle keeps rotating from the first to the sixth.

Questioner: When do we have tirthankaras here?

Dadashri: Tirthankaras will be present here on earth during the third and the fourth segment of the time cycle.

Questioner: And they will be born here in India and not anywhere else, right?

Dadashri: Only on this land! Only on this very land can we have tirthankaras.

Questioner:  Is there some special significance to this land?

Dadashri:  This land is considered very elevated spiritually.

Questioner: Why is only Simandhar Swami worshipped and not the other nineteen tirthankaras who are also living and present?

Dadashri: The others too may be worshipped but only Simandhar Swami has an account with Hindustan. It is his bhaav, deep inner intent. Of the twenty current living tirthankaras, Simandhar Swami has to be particularly revered because He is the closest to our Bharat Kshetra and He has an obligation towards it because of a subtle bond due to interactions of past karmic deeds. Even tirthankaras have karmic accounts. Simandhar Swami is living and present today.

So whom can you call an arihant? Simandhar Swami and the other nineteen tirthankaras are the arihants, but it is not necessary to maintain a connection with all of them. If you keep relations with one, the rest will automatically be included.  So do darshan of Simandhar Swami.  Bow down with reverence and say, “Dear Arihant Bhagwan! You only are the true arihant here today!”

Unity of the Mind-Body-Speech Exists Over There!

People in Mahavideh Kshetra are just like the humans on Earth, with similar physical bodies and emotions.

Questioner: Dada, isn’t the life span long there?

Dadashri: Yes, they have a very long life span; otherwise they are just like us.  Their day-to-day conduct is just like ours used to be during the fourth time cycle. People of this fifth time cycle have learnt to steal from others and gossip amongst their relatives. Such interactions are not to be found there.

Questioner: Is life interaction there similar to ours here?

Dadashri: Yes, people bind karmas there too.  They also have the awareness of, ‘I am the ‘doer’. They also have ego, anger, pride, attachment and greed. There is a presence of tirthankaras there right now because of the fourth time cycle, otherwise everything there is just like it is here.

The only difference between the fourth and fifth time cycles is that in the former, there is unity of the mind, speech and body, whereas in the fifth time cycle, this unity is broken. People in the fifth time cycle do not say what they think and they do not do what they say, while in the fourth time cycle, people say and do exactly what is on their mind. If a person living in the fourth time cycle says he feels like burning down the whole village, you can be assured that he will do so. Today, there is no substance in what people say or think. 

From Which World Can One Go There?

Questioner: Under what conditions can one go there, if one wants to?

Dadashri: One has to become like those who live there. If he acquires the qualities of the people living in the fourth time cycle, if he loses the negative characteristics, which prevail during the fifth time cycle, he can go there. For example, if someone were to insult you and you have no bad feelings or thoughts towards that person whatsoever, and then you will go there.  

Questioner: Ordinarily one cannot attain moksha, final liberation, directly from here. One has to go to Mahavideh kshetra and then attain moksha from there. Why so?

Dadashri: That is just the way these worlds are. If a person’s characteristics and traits become suitable for the fourth time cycle and even though he may not have received Self-realization, he will be pulled there.  Likewise if the people over there become like those of the fifth time cycle, they will be pulled here. Such is the nature of these worlds.  No one has to be taken there or brought here. The nature of these worlds will transport one to the tirthankaras. This is why we give importance to Simandhar Swami. Therefore, those who constantly revere Lord Simandhar, worship Him, do His live darshan there, be near Him, sit at His feet, will all be liberated completely.

Those who receive this Gnan will have one or two more lives only. They have to go to Simandhar Swami and do His darshan.  That is all that remains for them.  His very darshan gives moksha. This darshan is higher than the darshan of Dada. Once this darshan is done, moksha occurs.

Questioner: Do people who do Simandhar Swami’s darshan attain moksha?

Dadashri: Merely doing His darshan or seeing Him will not lead to liberation.  One has to receive His grace. One’s heart should become pure.   As one’s heart becomes pure, His blessings are bestowed.  People go to listen to Him and what they hear sounds wonderful to their ears but they do not make any progress.  This is because they still have a desire to enjoy trivial worldly things. It is like having a platter full of delicious food but because the pickle is missing, a person does not eat. People forget their moksha in their pursuit of insignificant things.

After Gnan One Gets Born At Mahavideh

Those who have acquired the awareness of their pure Self (Self-Realization) here will no longer be able to remain in Bharat kshetra.  It is a principle that those who have the awareness of the Soul will go to Mahavideh kshetra.  They will not be able to remain in this current time cycle of destruction.   Having the awareness of the pure Soul, they will spend one or two more lives at Mahavideh kshetra, there they will do darshan of the tirthankara and then attain moksha. That is how easy this path of Akram Vignan is.

Dada Bhgawan Connects You To Lord Simandhar

You need a medium through which you can make a connection with Simandhar Swami. That medium is ‘Dada Bhagwan’.  Say for example, if Lord Mahavir were in Delhi at this time, He could easily be reached.  Similarly Simahdhar Swami can also be reached although here it may take thirty seconds longer. 

He is present now but he is not in our world, He is in another world. I have a connection with Him and the whole world should benefit from this. I am just a mere go-between (nimit-instrument). I make you do His darshan through ‘Dada Bhagwan’, and it reaches Him. That is why you still have one more birth so that you can go to Simandhar Swami.

I have such good relationship with Simandhar Swami that if you do His darshan as I instruct you, it will reach Him all the way.
