Once we were staunch Satpanthis. I believed in that sect with faith and trust. Because since the time of grandfathers and great-grandfathers they believed in that sect, I was colored in that sect by the custom running in the house. The religious place of Satpanth was in the village. At that time it was known as “Jagya”. The rituals of worship and darshan service that took place in that place and the lectures and discourses that were read and spoken were related to Muslim religion. I used to participate enthusiastically in those Muslim Dua (prayers) and Kalmas that were spoken and remained a collaborator.
As understanding came gradually, a storm of movement arose in my mind. There was a lot of dilemma in the heart. Thoughts started rising. What is this? We are Hindus and here Dua-Kalma is recited like Islam. All rituals were not such that they could blend with Hindu religion. Confusion started in the mind. Now what to do. So first thing I did was to stop going to Jagya. As I stopped going to Jagya for Darshan, my father (father was the staunch doer-maker Mukhi of Jagya) started feeling bad, so father asked me why don’t you go to Jagya for Darshan? And people of this village taunt and say that your son was like a staunch Mukhi and why doesn’t he come to Jagya for Darshan? You being such a staunch Mukhi, it seems he has gone astray. I have to listen to this.
In reply I had to say that father, all this seems like Muslim to me. So father said that the scripture you speak in Jagya, in one scripture it is sung that brother then darkness will be removed from the era and there will be only one word, it is prophesied in Atharvaveda that all Hindus will become Muslims.
(Gorvani’s Ginan 6th). Hearing this, more turmoil arose in my mind and I blurted out that father if it is so, then before other Hindus become Muslims, we Satpanthis should become Muslims. Hearing this father got angry. With red eyes he said get up and run away from here. Am I your father or are you my father? Seeing such anger I had to run away at that time. And then the mind went on a roller coaster in the upheaval of such thoughts.
In this, the mind got solace. That is in such a way that I found a historical book. Whose author was Narayanji Ramji Limbani of Moti Virani village. The name of that book was Satpanth Pirana Ni Pol. Read it, read it a lot. The dilemmas of the mind completely disappeared. Specially studied the scriptures and Vedas of Sanatan Dharma and even memorized many Shlokas/Richas. From that it was confirmed that the doubt that was arising in the mind was not wrong.
It was indeed true that Pirana Satpanth is definitely not Hindu religion. And now thanks must be given to that Bapa (father figure) who worked to shake and wake up Kutch Kadva Patidar caste by doing so much hard work in that difficult time. Woke up the Patidars who had become blind in the name of religion. We should think that the arrogant Gedheras and seasoned Satpanthis of that time would not have done anything less in harassing Bapa. Bravo Bapa bravo this revolutionary hard work of yours. Bapa there are still many such Kutch Kadva Patidars who could not recognize you, could not know you, could not digest your thoughts and have not yet joined the main stream of Sanatan society.
I will say only this that the path of Satpanth is Atharvavedi religion according to the turn of Kaliyuga, that is wrong. That sect is utter insult of Hindu Sanatan Dharma, scornful slander, criticism and to such an extent Sanatan scriptures have been portrayed in a dirty way. By portraying Vedas-Upanishads,
Darshan Shastras and Mahapuranas wrongly and by creating products from the factory of their own brain-like skull, by making hand-written bulky books and making fools of Hindus, this is Atharvaveda according to the turn of Kaliyuga, lead Patidars on the wrong track in such a fabricated deceitful trap. Therefore abandoned Satpanth established by Saiyad Imamshah Bawa. Embraced Sanatan Dharma.
