NON-SECTARIAN TEMPLE

With the intent to unify religious differences, Spiritual Master Dada Bhagwan envisioned the concept of the Trimandir. Encompassing three different temples under one roof, the Trimandir boasts an architectural design which radiates the distinct spiritual ideology. This is because the holy edifice is the home of the idols of Gods of Jainism, Shaivism, and Vaishnavism (along with Gods and Goddesses of other religions), all sharing equal reverence on the same platform.

Building a non-sectarian temple is Param Pujya Dadashri’s symbol of salvation. He dreamed of a time when 24 Trimandirs would be constructed.

Among all the Trimandirs, the first and the largest Trimandir built to-date is located in Adalaj, on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The building design features an impressive two-storey structure housing a “Gigantic Hall” for satsang (spiritual discourses) on the ground floor, and the temple above. People belonging to different religions and faiths come together for spiritual knowledge, partake in open forum discussions with the spiritual leader and better understand life - all contributing towards betterment of society.

Every year approximately 7,00,000 people visit the Trimandir – of those 4,00,000 visitors are new. As soon as visitors step into the temple, they express feelings of extraordinary vibrations, as if God is actually sitting in the temple. Whether it is a small child, an adult or someone from any caste or creed - they feel like they are doing darshan of their own God, at their very own temple and experience peace and happiness. This feeling makes them want to come back to the temple as soon as possible.

The Trust has also constructed non-sectarian temples in major cities such as Ahmedabad, Bhuj, Rajkot, Godhra, Surendranagar, Morbi, Amreli, Anjar, Vadodara, Jamnagar and Mumbai plus others in smaller towns and villages. Junagadh Trimandir is under construction. Also, Trimandirs are planned to be constructed at Surat and Bhavnagar.

SATSANG SHIBIRS

Pujya Deepakbhai addresses various congregations in India over the past 10 years. They are in the form of interactive Q and A sessions. He has only one desire in his heart, to create awareness in people about the knowledge of the Self so that they too can become free from their bondages. He therefore also conducts self-realization ceremony at such congregations. This display of compassion is truly heart-touching.

These sessions normally span over 3-4 days. They are open to one and all – people from all castes, creed and religions attend the sessions. In case of smaller towns, even people from surrounding villages come for the sessions. Annually lacs of people attend these sessions.

Special workshops in Adalaj are conducted twice in a year for advanced study of religious scriptures. Approximately 15,000 persons from all over the country and from all walks of life attend these workshops.
