Questioner: At this moment they are in the Siddha Loka - the location of all liberated Souls.ĭadashri: Are they Siddha? Are you hundred percent sure of this?ĭadashri: Then they fall in the category of Siddha. Do you know why I say that? Are all the twenty-four Tirthankaras, Arihants or Siddhas? Is their status that of Siddha or Arihant? Right now Lord Simandhar Swami is the Arihant. This misunderstanding is precisely why there is so much confusion. Questioner: The twenty-four Tirthankaras have become Siddha!ĭadashri: Then should you not question why they call the one who is Siddha, an Arihant? They belong to the second level i.e Siddhanam. Are you calling a Siddha an Arihant? Whom do you call an Arihant? But really the twenty-four Tirthakars are all now called Siddha because they have already achieved liberation. Then if you ask them who is the Arihant, they will say that the twenty-four Tirthankaras are the Arihants. People say, "These are our twenty-four Tirthankaras" and then they recite, "Namo Arihantanam, Namo Siddhanam…", and if we ask them, 'are these two the same?' They say yes. Only a Tirthankar who is currently living can be called an Arihant. Questioner: Does the title of Arihant apply to the twenty-four Tirthankaras?ĭadashri: No. They have a body (Dehdhari) and a name (Namdhari). Questioner: Does the Arihant possess a physical body?ĭadashri: Yes, He possesses a physical body, without which He cannot be called an Arihant. Let us get more information about Arihant Bhagwan, through the following conversation with Param Pujya Dadashri. So if one says with this understanding that wherever the Arihant is present in the entire universe, I bow to Him with reverence, then it will yield wonderful results. If one is an Arihant, only then it will give us the result. He is the Arihant today, so pay obeisances to Him.
