Mumbai,

25 Jan (HS): Trimandir, Thane, envisioned as Bombay’s largest mandir, ahead of

its formal inauguration. The mandir will be inaugurated over three days —January

30th & 31st and February 1st, 2026. The Trimandir is being developed by the

Mahavir Jain Trust in collaboration with the Dada Bhagwan Foundation, and is

spread across a 1.5-acre campus in Thane. Conceived as a landmark spiritual

destination, the mandir reflects the values of unity, inclusivity, and harmony

across faiths.

A

defining feature of the Trimandir is the placement of the three principal

murtis — Shri Simandhar Swami, Shri Shiv Bhagwan, and Shri Krishna Bhagwan —

together on a single platform, along with 20+ other murtis. This unique

confluence embodies the philosophy of Nishpaksh (neutrality) and unity across

dharmas.

Ajay

Ashar - CMD - Ashar Group who has been quietly working on this visionary

project for the past two years, will reveal the vision, philosophy, and journey

behind bringing this landmark mandir to life on January 28.

Param

Pujya A. M. Patel, popularly known as Dada Bhagwan, created the Trimandir, a

unique temple idea. The Lords of India's three major faiths, Jainism, Shaivism,

and Vaishnavism (together with Gods and Goddesses from other religions), are

placed together on the same platform, resulting in a unique non-sectarian

temple. The temple architecture permits these Lords to be worshipped in one

location and at the same time. Worshipers are blessed with two experiences: One

goal is to eliminate deeply held beliefs about religious differences (which are

at the root of all religious sentiments of alienation), and the other is to

advance spiritually.

In

actuality, the underlying intention of all these Lords is the same: to discover

your inner Self, the Soul (Self Realization). Lord Mahavir's deshna (the

Omniscient One's speech) is totally on the soul, which is also what Lord

Krishna alludes to throughout the Bhagavad Gita. Finally, in order to spread

the ultimate fact of 'I am the pure Soul', the distinction between Jiva and

Shiva must be eliminated. This is what a visitor obtains by the grace of all

Lords housed in the Trimandir on the same platform.
