📜 Lyrics – Sone Ki Chadi (Simandhar Swami)
Simandhar Swami
Sone ki chhadi
Roope ki mashaal
Jariyan ka jaama
Motiyan ki maala
Aaju se baaju se nigaah rakho
Jeevdaya pratipaalak
Tran lok na naath
Devadhidev
Raaj Rajeshwar
Satyaki Devi na nandan,
Shreyans Raja na sapoot,
Anant upkaari
Daya na saagar
Karuna na mahaasaagar
Shree Simandhar Swami dada ne
Ghani Khamma!
Ghani Khamma!
Ghani Khamma!
सिमंधर स्वामी
सोने की छड़ी
रूपे की मशाल
जरीयन का जामा
मोतीयन की माला
आजु से बाजु से निगाह रखो
जीवदया प्रतिपालक
त्रण लोक ना नाथ
देवाधिदेव
राज राजेश्वर
सत्यकि देवी ना नंदन,
श्रेयांस राजा ना सपूत,
अनंत उपकारी
दया ना सागर
करुणा ना महासागर
श्री सिमंधर स्वामी दादा ने
घणी खम्मा!
घणी खम्मा!
घणी खम्मा!
સિમંધર સ્વામી
સોને કી છડી
રૂપે કી મશાલ
જરીયન કા જામા
મોતીયન કી માલા
આજુ સે બાજુ સે નિગાહ રખો
જીવદયા પ્રતિપાલક
ત્રણ લોક ના નાથ
દેવાધિદેવ
રાજ રાજેશ્વર
સત્યકી દેવી ના નંદન,
શ્રેયાંસ રાજા ના સપૂત,
અનંત ઉપકારી
દયા ના સાગર
કરુણા ના મહાસાગર
શ્રી સિમંધર સ્વામી દાદા ને
ઘણી ખમ્મા!
ઘણી ખમ્મા!
ઘણી ખમ્મા!

👑 Who is Shri Simandhar Swami?
Shri Simandhar Swami is a living Tirthankar — a Jina who is present, enlightened and preaching at this very moment in Mahavideh Kshetra, in the city of Pundarikgiri (Pushkalavati). He is the son of King Shreyans and Queen Satyaki, is depicted with a golden complexion, and his emblem (lanchhan) is the bull.
Unlike the twenty-four Tirthankars of our Bharat Kshetra — of whom Mahavir Swami was the last — Simandhar Swami is alive today. Because our own land has no living Tirthankar in this age, devotees lovingly turn to Him as the present, accessible Jina, praying that their devotion may one day carry them to His holy presence.
