Even though this incident may seem very small today, a very big thing and message is hidden in it. In today’s era when people convert religion for money or keep such a weak mentality that even though Pirana is a Muslim place, we get money… at that time there are such examples in the caste where there are families who sacrifice personal benefits, high status in society and source of economic earning for Sanatan Dharma. Hail to this Ramani family. |
As Virjibapa (Mukhi) aged, there were talks of passing on the Mukhipanu (Headship) to his sons as inheritance. Then the occasion to accept Mukhipanu was decided. At this time Gedheras and Saiyads had come from Pirana.
Then whatever type of ritual was to be done was done. After that Saiyads filled water in their mouth, gargled and threw the water in a plate and it was said that this spit (gargled) water should be drunk by the persons accepting Mukhipanu in the form of Charanamrut.
At this time Virjibapa (Mukhi) opposed this and our three grandfathers also opposed this. Saiyads were told that we will do whatever work we do in our own way only. Rest we will not do as you say. And we will not drink your spit water. If you want to give Mukhipanu then give.
Due to this reason our family renounced Mukhipanu.
