Answer

When doing Logassa / Chaturvimshati Stava, traditionally the 24 Tirthankars of this Bharat Kshetra are praised.

If you want to keep Simandhar Swami Bhagwan in your bhav during Logassa, consider Him with deep devotion as a currently living Tirthankar in Mahavideh Kshetra, but do not replace the traditional names of the 24 Tirthankars in the Logassa sutra.

Explanation

In Jain Dharma:

• Logassa Sutra is a stuti of the 24 Tirthankars of the present time cycle in our Bharat Kshetra.
• Simandhar Swami Bhagwan is revered as a living Tirthankar presently preaching in Mahavideh Kshetra.
• Therefore, while reciting Logassa, the original sutra should remain unchanged.
• You may mentally offer vandan and devotion to Simandhar Swami Bhagwan separately before or after Logassa.

Spiritual Understanding

The right bhav would be:

• “I bow to the Arihant Parmatma.”
• “I remember the infinite qualities of Tirthankars.”
• “May I develop samyak darshan, samyak jnan, and samyak charitra.”
• “May my soul progress toward moksha by following the path shown by the Tirthankars.”

For Simandhar Swami Bhagwan, you may keep the feeling:

• He is a living Tirthankar.
• He is presently giving deshna in Mahavideh Kshetra.
• By His darshan, vandan, and teachings, souls can progress spiritually.
• I bow with humility to His Arihant state and pure qualities.

Takeaway

Recite Logassa exactly as traditionally given. Keep devotion to Simandhar Swami Bhagwan respectfully in your heart or through a separate stuti, vandan, or namaskar.
