Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan says, “When Lord Simandhar Swami's idols and images shall be placed in every home and when these idols and images will be worshipped with deep reverence and His aarti be sung in every home, there will be heaven on Earth! As one’s devotion for Lord Simandhar Swami increases, the connection with Him becomes stronger. One ultimately reaches the feet of this Living Lord in his next life and gets liberated from the cycle of birth and death forever.”

 

On the auspicious occasion of Lord Simandhar Swami’s Janma Kalyanak, a Pran Pratishtha (life-instillation) Ceremony of small Swami murtis will be held in the revered presence of Pujyashree.
