Life-Instilling Ceremony of The Trimandir (Non-Sectarian Temple) in Bhavnagar (Gujarat), India

On Feb 18th, 2024, the auspicious Sanctification ceremony took place at the non-sectarian Trimandir in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India, in the presence of Pujyashree and the subtle presence of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan and Pujya Niruma. People flocked in, in huge numbers from various parts of the world, more so from different parts of Gujarat, to attend this event. For the locals, a Q&A Satsang and Gnan-Vidhi were arranged on Feb 16 and Feb 17 respectively.

On Feb 18th, 2024, Pujyashree arrived at the Bhavnagar Trimandir at 10am and performed the auspicious Bhaav Pratishtha of every deity installed in this temple. In the meanwhile, followers did prayers, with awareness, as advised by Pujyashree. Thereafter, Pujyashree came out of the temple and announced to the followers, who were anxiously waiting to hear from Him, that the wonderful Pran Pratishtha had happened. Whoever will step into the temple will now experience peace and happiness in life, and shall, in all probability, find the link to Gnan (Self-Realization) and Gnani (the Enlightened One) in this era of Kaliyug.

The three flags, one each from the shrines of Swami Simandhar, Shri Krishna Yogeshwar and Neelkanth Mahadev Shiv, were let loose and allowed to fly, with a pure intention in the heart, that touching this flag, wherever the wind goes, may everyone there be blessed enormously by the Gods, residing in this awesome Trimandir!

At 4.30 pm, it was time for the Pujan-Aarti of the Gods here! The session commenced on time with the Prakshal Pujan of the Lord Simandhar Swami, the present Living Tirthankar. Waters from almost every river in India, big and small, were collected in a pot, and with this jal, the Prakshal was done! After Prakshal, Pujyashree bowed down and took the Lord’s most precious blessings. Thereafter, He performed the Pujan and Aarti of Lord Simandhar Swami.

The Pujan of Lord Rishabhdev, Lord Ajitnath, Lord Parshvanath and Lord Mahavir; of Lord Padmanabh, the future Tirthankar; of Lord Shri Krishna and Lord Shiva; of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, who inspired this concept of the non-sectarian temple of Trimandir; of every idol of Gods-Goddesses, of Pujya Niruma; and last but not the least, of Sai Baba too, was done in the same manner, followed by various Aartis performed by Pujyashree, along with the followers.

One can well imagine how ecstatic the entire atmosphere in this Bhavnagar Trimandir was on this day, amidst Pujyashree’s purest Pran Pratishtha; amidst every ritual of Pujan and Aarti done, taking along the superlative bhaav of all followers; amidst most melodious devotional songs that were sung with great bhaav, matching the lyrics with the scene live at that moment; and the ultimate topmost jagat-kalyan bhaav ticking in every heart joint with this event.

In the evening, a beautiful Bhakti programme was arranged, wherein every devotional song sung was very heart-touching! A lot of Darshanarthi visited the temple to do the darshan of the enchanting idols, and here, they also got the darshan of Pujyashree, who was present in the programme. Also on this occasion, followers got the precious gift of getting to listen to their most loved devotional song, ‘Simandhar Swami na pratyaksh darshan thaajo amne’ in the voice of…. Guess who?? their most beloved Pujyashree!!!

The next day, the Door-opening ceremony of this new Trimandir was done, by the auspicious hands of Pujyashree, in the presence of esteemed followers, present in hundreds of numbers.
